My Motherland  

Oh Nigeria, my motherland,  

A jewel cradled in nature’s hand,  

From Lagos’ shores to Sokoto’s sands,  

A tapestry of beauty, vast and grand.  

Your rivers flow with stories untold,  

Of ancient kingdoms, brave and bold,  

The Benin Empire, Nok’s art of old,  

A heritage of wisdom, pure as gold.
