WE by S. A. David

(For Kogi State NYSC 2012 ‘B’ members)

Gazing at the beautiful igneous
We have stereo’d from our nests
Cooling by the warm cold rain
We have rail’d from our tracks

Welcomed by the grace of the solar star
We have lever’d from our air
Blessed by the behold of the confluence
We have canoe’d from our dens

She has groomed us
Bless our alma mater
She has breast-fed us
The Lord be with her

She recommended us
God elevate her
Her eyes still count on us
We refuse to fail her

Yes, we stretch our hand
To the very human humanity
We raise our hand
To the very divine divinity

On Asaya we are groomed
On Kabba soil we doff
From Kogi we serve
From the Confluence we salute

Today we speak Igala
Tonight we talk Ebira
Tomorrow we sing Okun
To now we command Nupe

Equipped from Asaya
We yield to the clarion
We carry our mother on our wings
Without cognizance to the meteorologists’

Nationals, great soldiers we are
Youths, peace is our first name
Sailors, we sail Nigeria to Canaan
Captors, we round up the vices

God bless Yakubu Gowon
Merci Nnamdi Thomas Okore-Affia
Well done Anthony Enweonwu
Allah bless Nigeria
