I AM A NIGERIAN.

I am a Nigerian. I am black 

but not a mediocre. In my 

veins, the black man dwells. 

The melanin isn't a curse 

but a birthright I patriotically 

hold upright. 

In my region, there are legion

of religions yet, bonded by an 

unqivering black unity. 

Mazi, Bola, Oche, Musa, Onuh 

and others thrives freely with 

equal opportunities. 

In our very own soil, we soiled 

indifferences for we are not 

party to apathy. 

Corruption is a gross outlander, 

homosexuality is totally fremd 

and war is a baseless alien.
