OBIDIENTS: A NEW NIGERIAN IDENTITY Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI
From the ashes of Nigeria
From the abandonment of the olds
From the destruction of the land
From the relics of our frazzled greatness
From the trampled sum of our grace
From the disgrace of our pride
From the desolate feat of our heroes
It's yet a time to resound hope
It's yet a time to rekindle allure
It's yet a time to rise up in wisdom
To the youths of Nigeria I give it
To our mothers and fathers I say
Turn not your love from your children
Never abandon the salvation call
Nigeria on her way to being saved
Let Nigerians now think along this;
We shall henceforth produce
We shall turn our strength away
From consumption to production
Let this be our new creed and song
This is a sound of peace and unity
And the wind of greatness blows
Nigeria shall be great again
Nigeria shall be greater in our time
Rise up oh Compatriots!
It's a time to be sure ours counts
In our decision to rebuild Nigeria
It's our collective resolve that matters
From the ruins of this land
Its greatness beckons a new dawn
Don't let Nigeria down
Don't sell this land for anything
Don't disappoint this age of hope
Don't faint or falter
Let your choice say the world
Let your choice support our newness
Let your thumb speak strength
Let it loud integrity as the resolve
Let's build a better Nigeria for all
The journey has just begun
We're moving right away
Our departure is from consumption
Our destination is to production
Greater tomorrow; greater generation
