#55years

Green and white runs through my veins and
yet when I open my eyes all I see is
red, white, and blue.

I am Nigeria.
I am America.
I am a Nigerian-American.

Akwa Ibom hear me,
I scream for you.

Nigeria see me,
I cry for you.

Georgia feel me,
there are days that I long for you.

America taste me,
do you taste that sweat?

I have given you my blood and sweat but
my tears, both happiness and despair,
are for Naija land.

55 years,
55 years,
#55years.

Stay strong,
stay beautiful,
stay Nigeria.

Continue to
be one.

In 55 years war has ensued,
#Biafra.

In 55 years disappearances have ensued,
#BringBackOurGirls.

In 55 years peaceful elections
have occurred,
#KeepNigeriaOne.

Nigeria Ohh!
Across the Atlantic I stand for you,
across the Atlantic I pray for you.

Decades have passed since I have
felt your landscape underneath
my feet.
The time will come when I will
stand on you once more.

Naija stay ONE.
We are all one
under God.

Nigeria continue to be,
continue to be
the white & the green.
