The Promise of Nigeria's Earth

In Nigeria's fertile soil, beneath the sun, Lie treasures vast, by nature's hand bestowed, Petroleum's might and gas, a wealth begun, Yet woes of scarcity like rivers flowed. Oh, citizens of Nigeria, hearts so pure, In prayerful plea for grace, divine and true, Yearning for peace, prosperity's allure, To see the nation's dreams rise into view. With iron ore and gold, earth's bounty sings, Amidst the trials that cloud the land's embrace, Tin, lead, and limestone, riches on the wings, Awaiting fate's kind touch to grant their grace. In this vast tapestry of hopes and fears, Where prayers ascend to heaven's open door, Bright futures gleam beyond the present tears, For Nigeria, the giant, to rise once more
