Nigeria, I hail thee,

My own dear native land,

A land I have been called to serve with love, strength, and faith.

Nigeria, I hail thee,

The labour of my heroes past,

A land to serve with heart and might,

And a nation bound in freedom, peace, and unity.

Nigeria, I hail thee,

A nation where peace and justice shall reign,

Though tribe and tongue may differ,

United we stand.

Nigeria, I hail thee,

Arise, O compatriots, and help to build

A nation where no man is oppressed.

Happy Independence Day!!!

Nigeria @ 64!
