Nigeria….my sweet homeland

My birthplace…my roots…my identity…

Far away from home

Yet the thirst for my home remains

The home of my ancestors and history

In my blood flows generations of history

Tears, joy, laughter, sadness, sorrows, and happiness of generations before me

That is how deep my root goes…

I embrace my homeland and my root

It contains a vast history of knowledge and pride

And a source of history for generations yet unborn….

God bless Nigeria….you may be experiencing difficulties, but you are yet to show the world who you are. The world awaits your greatness — Chinyere Okoh
