Ode to Nigerian Resilience despite the tough times – Remi Ogunpitan
I doff my hat, and respect how as Nigerians we are so resolute and resilient despite the tough times.
Oh, courageous Nigerians, through the trials you march, Despite the hardships faced, your spirit remains unbowed, A collective strength unyielding, a flame within your hearts, For you believe in honesty, accountability, and the truth endowed. And we deserve no less from our leaders.
Irrespective of your background, tribe, or religious creed, United by a common goal, you strive for a better nation, Poverty’s heavy burden, on each shoulder you patiently heed, For the dream of a prosperous Nigeria fuels your determination.
Leadership, comfortable in opulence and luxury divine, While they demand more sacrificial acts, taking more than their share, Yet you, dear Nigerians, rise above the insult and decline, Working tirelessly each day, proving your resilience rare.
With unwavering courage, you face the challenges head-on, Your dreams intertwined with the fate of this great land, For your families, your children, your businesses long gone, You persevere, tirelessly toiling, with unwavering stand.
Nigerians of indomitable spirit, true champions of the fight, Strong pillars of hope, in this struggle we hold dear, With truth, honesty, and accountability as your guiding light, You march forward, undeterred, through the storm you will steer.
Through the pain and the trials, you are the force to make a change, A beacon of inspiration, lighting the way for Nigeria’s rise, For it is in your unwavering dedication that we rearrange, A future beaming with progress, where justice finally lies.
Oh, courageous Nigerians, your spirit we celebrate, In the face of adversity, you remain steadfast and true, For it is your unwavering resilience that will navigate, To a Nigeria, united and prosperous, emerging anew.
So let us raise our voices, in tribute to your might, In honor of your strength, your dedication and zeal, Together we shall overcome, shining everlasting light, For it is in your hands, dear Nigerians, that Nigeria’s destiny we seal.
