Nigeria, My Motherland

Nigeria, my motherland,

Where rivers dance and forests stand.

From the north’s sun to the southern sands,

Your heart beats strong across all lands.

O land of bright and blessed light,

Your children rise to claim the right.

With strength of mind and faith so true,

We pledge our love and life to you.

Our flag of green, white, green unfurled,

A beacon bright across the world.

We vow to serve, defend, and care,

For peace and justice everywhere.

Through Lagos streets and Kaduna plains,

Through sweeping hills and Niger chains,

Your voice calls out in harmony,

To sing of hope and liberty.

O sacred land, our native soil,

Through sweat and tears, through honest toil,

We lift our hands, we raise our song,

For unity forever strong.

Arise, O compatriots, awake,

Your heritage you must partake.

Let every heart beat firm and free,

For justice, peace, and liberty.

From Sokoto to the Niger Delta,

From Jos to the great Calabar,

Your children vow with all their might,

To guard your honor, truth, and right.

O God of creation, direct our aim,

Guide our leaders, guard our name.

Let Nigerians live in harmony,

And nations respect our dignity.

Through trials deep, through storms and pain,

We rise again, like sun through rain.

No foe can dim our inner light,

We march as one, our future bright.

Our land is rich with grain and gold,

With stories ancient, brave, and bold.

In every tongue, in every song,

Our people’s hearts to you belong.

We pledge our loyalty and love,

To Nigeria, our sacred home.

We swear to cherish, honor, serve,

Her dignity we will preserve.

O Motherland, we lift your name,

Through peaceful acts and deeds of fame.

Let justice reign and freedom thrive,

So every soul is proud to live.

Your children’s hands shall build anew,

With courage deep and vision true.

In every field, in every hall,

We vow to rise and never fall.

O Naija, land of vibrant hue,

With skies of gold and mornings new,

Your heartbeat echoes in our veins,

Through sunlit days and heavy rains.

We pledge to honor all your dreams,

To guard your rivers, hills, and streams.

With faith in God and love in hand,

Forever proud, your loyal band.

Through unity, we find our way,

Through labor hard and brightened day.

No tribe, no tongue, no creed divides,

For in our hearts, your soul resides.

We lift our voices loud and clear,

For peace, for truth, for all we hold dear.

O God of mercy, bless our land,

And guide each heart with gentle hand.

Nigeria, my motherland,

With forest deep and desert sand.

Through every challenge, trial, and test,

We strive to be our very best.

O nation, rise with courage strong,

Let right defeat what once was wrong.

In every city, field, and town,

Let smiles of hope replace the frown.

We pledge to serve, to guard, to grow,

To let the river of justice flow.

With hands united, hearts sincere,

We banish doubt, we cast out fear.

O land where dreams and courage blend,

On you our loyalty depends.

We honor those who came before,

And pave the path for evermore.

From maiden hills to oceans wide,

Your beauty gleams with endless pride.

O people rise, take up your stand,

And honor dear Nigeria, our land.

With every breath, with every fight,

We vow to guard your sacred right.

Our pledge resounds in voice and pen,

To serve, protect, and lift all men.

Nigeria, land of hope and grace,

We see your glory face to face.

Your children’s hearts are bound to you,

Through every trial, brave and true.

We sing your anthem, raise our hands,

United hearts, united stands.

Through joy and tears, through work and play,

Your honor guides us every day.

Forever blessed, forever free,

We serve our land in unity.

O Nigeria, my motherland,

We walk with pride, with strength at hand.

From northern plains to southern coast,

It is your name that we love most.

With voices high, we chant your praise,

Your sunlit skies and golden days.

Your people brave, your leaders wise,

We lift our hopes toward your skies.

In every heart, your story lives,

And endless love your spirit gives.

O land of green, O land of white,

Your beauty glows in morning light.

Your bounty, rivers, forests, plains,

Shall flourish, free from fear and chains.

Our pledge remains both firm and true,

To serve, defend, and honor you.

Through every storm, through every trial,

We walk with courage every mile.

O Nigeria, land divine,

In every heart, your virtues shine.

Your people’s dreams, your people’s hands,

Shall build the future of our lands.

In cities bright, in villages small,

Your voice is heard by one and all.

With culture rich and heritage deep,

Your legacy our souls shall keep.

O God of mercy, hear our plea,

Bless our land and let it be

A place where justice lights the way,

Where love and hope shall always stay.

We rise, we strive, we build, we fight,

Our hearts set firm in truth and right.

Nigeria, motherland so dear,

Forever strong, forever near.

Your mountains high, your valleys low,

Your forests deep where rivers flow,

Shall witness children brave and true,

Forever loyal, proud of you.

O land of song, O land of rhyme,

Your story echoes through all time.

Through every voice, through every tongue,

Your praises shall forever be sung.

We pledge allegiance, heart and mind,

To leave no child or soul behind.

Through toil and sweat, through faith and might,

We guard your honor, truth, and light.

O Naija, land of vibrant hue,

Your sky of green and white so true,

Shall witness generations rise,

And lift your glory to the skies.

Through desert sand, through forest deep,

We watch, we guard, we vow to keep.

Your children’s hearts, their dreams, their voice,

Shall echo loud in one strong choice.

We pledge to honor, guard, defend,

To serve our nation till the end.

In unity, our strength is found,

In every heart your love resounds.

Nigeria, my motherland,

Forever proud, forever grand.

Your beauty shines, your voice resounds,

Through every hill and all our towns.

O land of hope, of peace, of pride,

Through storm and trial, you’ve always tried.

Your people’s hands shall shape your fate,

Their loyalty shall celebrate.

With every sunrise, every dawn,

Your glory rises and is drawn.

In every heart, your spirit stays,

Through all our nights and all our days.

We pledge to serve, we pledge to care,

To keep your honor, rich and rare.

Through every storm, through joy and strife,

We dedicate our loyal life.

O Nigeria, land so true,

We lift our hearts and sing for you.

Through every tribe, through every tongue,

Your praises shall forever be sung.

From hills to plains, from lakes to seas,

Your children’s hearts shall always please.

With faith, with courage, love, and hand,

We walk forever in your land.

O God of mercy, hear our call,

Guide our nation, guard us all.

Let peace and love forever reign,

And wash away both strife and pain.

Nigeria, motherland we bless,

Through trials deep and happiness.

Your children rise in unity,

To honor you eternally.

Forever proud, forever free,

Your sons and daughters vow to be

Strong, loyal, just, and ever true,

Forever bound, O land of hue.

Nigeria, my motherland,

With rivers deep and golden sand.

Through every trial, through every fight,

We walk with you into the light.
