Welcome to Nigeria
What does that mean?
It means this is where we lift our voices in song and make a joyful drumbeat so our hearts can sing along.
Welcome to Nigerian country.
This beloved country is here. Where we honour our ancestors, by growing stronger every year, by making laughter the answer that wipes away our tears.
Welcome to Nigerian country.
What does the future hold?
In uncertain times like these, we reach for words like hope and things we can be sure of; sunrise, beauty, and love.
Welcome to Nigerian country.
It’s everywhere we dance and where the feast is truly grand.
Welcome to Nigerian country.
Now give us back our land.
