I shall Be Called Nigeria

I shall be called Nigeria
Even thou I was named by a girl
I still believe that women are mothers of wisdom

I shall be called Nigeria
Let it remind me of how strangers conquered my land
Sold my children into slavery
And use my wealth to build their nation

I shall be called Nigeria
The people of the great River Niger
A land flowing with milk and honey
A land filled with oil wells

I shall be called Nigeria
A nation of proud warriors
Filled with artisans,minstrels,story tellers and noble hard working people.
