This song is titled "Great Nation" and this song is by one multi-talented artist whose song I so much love, and I was more blessed to have had the privilege of meeting Him. This song is about acknowledging the fact that my country (Nigeria) is a great nation, and citizens of Nigeria have to acknowledge we need each other to make the Nation what it should be.

It is a song that encourages one to pride in his/her Nation, in this case, it's Nigeria, and as a citizen of Nigeria, I am proud to be a Nigerian, because I see the good than the bad in my country.

I trust you will enjoy this beautiful piece.

Lyrics: Great Nation by Timi Dakolo

Here we stand as a people
With one song, with one voice
We're a nation, undivided and poised
We will take our stand, and build our land
With faith to defend what is ours

Here we are as a people
With one heart, for one cause
We're determined to rebuild and restore
Where freedom reigns and truth prevails
A land where there's hope for us all
A land where there's hope for us all

We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in this nation, and we know we'll get there
We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in Nigeria and the promise she holds
And that one day we'll shine like the sun
We're a great nation

Though we are many people
Different tribes, different tongues
We're united in our strength and resolve
To uphold the honour of our land
And for generations to come
And for generations to come

We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in this nation, and we know we'll get there
We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in Nigeria and the promise she holds
And that one day we'll shine like the sun
We're a great nation

Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria

We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in this nation, and we know we'll get there
We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in Nigeria and the promise she holds
And that one day we'll shine like the sun

We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe...
We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe...

We're a great nation.
