By Yusuf Salisu Muhammad
Though Poem is not Easy
But I Should not be a lazy
Oh ! My Country my Country !
Insecurity threatens Our Unity !
Places have been vandalized
And We have been massacred
Why Threatenable Nation?
It’s a Nation Without Motion…
Why do they always loot the properties of
Government
Without any development ?
No peace in Cities Nor Hamlets
But Alas unutilised Talents
Oh! My Country My Country !
Insecurity threatens Our Unity
In this Country
Inadequate Water Supply
Inadequate Power Supply
All became norms
Prosperities are Very rare
While
Unemployments are rampants
Oh ! My Arewa My Arewa !
Yeah ! it’s My Province
And
We lack peace
It’s indeed time For Us to raise Our Voices
Let’s Wake up let’s wake up!
Manna don’t fall From heaven
And, With no pain no gain
Yeah ! There’s
Kidnapping, raping
And genociding it’s really not kidding
Open defecation and deforestation
I’m afraid!
They are not Once in a blue moon
All this in my father Land
In Countries We are third World
This Country it’s befitting
To be called the Threatenable Nation
Oh ! My Country My Country
Insecurity threatens Our Unity
Let the Message be Clear
This Country is Nigeria
We Shouldn’t be in voiceless
But in vocalness
Oh ! God tackle all Our Obstacles
