A call rings out through the land loud, shrill and clear. To all the youths of the land Trained in her institutions of higher learning. A call to the service of the fatherland. It excites their movement; Over plains, rivers, hills, vegetation, climatic belts, And across traditions, customs, religion, Educational, environmental and socio-cultural backgrounds. A re-congregation for a reorientation From parochial tribal mindsets For a new paradigm of nationalism, of national Integration and peaceful co-habitation. Lifting our nation high requires Concerted efforts, dedication and selflessness. 365 days of service that must Metamorphose into a lifetime of service. Nigeria ours, Nigeria we serve. « return. |
