I opened my infant eyes
With a sad voice the walls said
"Hi welcome to Nigeria"
The sun gave a sad nod
And gave way to a mundane moon
The ground complained of my weight
The air offered me CO2 only saying
"The oxygen is only for the heavyweights"
The sky was always crying
Shedding heavy tears on me
Then a little firm voice
From nowhere said to my heart
Get your umbrella, boots, rain & sunhats
Let your bones be iron
And let your flesh be cement
Meet your landlord over there
His name is "work hard"
Once more welcome to Nigeria kid
