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
