SLOPE OF HOPE by Jude Alexander
Nigeria our fatherland
Twinkles with father's love
Blessed with beautiful people
Dark and comely
With a government that has gone mad
Neglecting the people of the land
Terrorism and ethnic militants
In the North east and South east
Suffering and smiling has been our faithful guide
We've gotten used to our trials
Nigeria cannot be defined without corruption
Misery has been attached to us
We depend on foreign coin
Even with the abundance of oil
It is said that Nigeria will get better
But that can only be found in the domain of hope
We hope it happens later
But now it seems we are sliding down a slope
