Nigeria,a Place of Peace

A place of peace
Sunny place and rainy place
A place of harmony and peace
Despite the varieties of tongues.
The home of surplus
With atmosphere of geniality
Wide oceans,big lagoons
Pungent smell from mighty forests
Coolest breeze from heavy mountains
A place of peace
A country of puissance
A gem unmatched by others
Pulchritude of Africa
Our progress,as fast as running punkah.
Now the coast is clear
No more hoodoo as leader
No more jinx as driver
Protem our prosaic side of life-YES
But the despisers are blind to see this
I'm here to puncture their confidence
This is not a propitiation
Nor exaggeration...
The land of peace
Yes,this is a place of peace
Away I've been
But I easily felt homesick for Nigeria
Many are purgatory
Turning visitors to slaves
But you are a place of peace
Treating all equally with peace
A place systematically turning to haven
With a feeling of joie de vivre
Grokked by raven
Geddit or doubting a place of peace?

There have been questions about “Yoruba name for igun”; “… hoopo bird called in Yoruba”; “… aluko and agbe birds in Yoruba culture”; “the English name of eye akalamagbo”; “What is the English of eye kowe”, and many others. At the end of the list, there are a couple of references, and more can be found through Google. PLEASE NOTE: Spellings often dif...
