Let’s roll out the drums and celebrate.
Oh yes, why shouldn’t we?

Our naira is now greater than the dollar.
Our oil is now worth two hundred dollars per barrel.
We now grow our own food.
We export rice to China.
Palm produce to Malaysia.
Every farm has irrigation.
Every able bodied man is employed.
The sick and old get social security.
All human rights are protected.
Our democracy is a viable one.
Every Nigerian has a house.
There is no poor person in Nigeria.
Our hospitals are no
Longer mere consulting rooms.
They are well stocked.
We are well fed.
We practise a true federalism
The girls have been released.
Insurgency is past tense.
Andrews are checking in.
We’ve never had it,
So good!!!

Let’s clink our glasses,
While we say,
God bless Nigeria!!!
