Nigeria

[Intro] Naija! Giant of Africa, green and white, rise up! [Verse 1] Where two great rivers meet at Lokoja, the Benue joins the flow, from the Sahel in the north to the mangroves down below, Lagos never sleeping, yellow buses, ocean breeze, Abuja in the centre, Zuma Rock above the trees. Two hundred million voices, the most of any African land, five hundred languages spoken, every one a different strand, Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo, Edo, Ijaw, Kanuri and more, a nation of many nations from the desert to the shore. [Pre-Chorus] Talking drum is calling, can you hear it say your name? Every village, every city, every heartbeat in the frame [Chorus] Naija, Giant of Africa, green and white, the eagles fly, jollof on the fire and the highlife guitar, Naija, reaching for the sky [Verse 2] Nok clay faces, two thousand years and more, bronzes of Benin, and the heads of Ife's ancient lore, Kano's gates and dyeing pits, the Durbar horsemen ride, independence in nineteen sixty, the first of October, pride. Nollywood is rolling, stories on a million screens, Afrobeats across the planet, sound of Lagos in the streams, suya smoke at midnight, egusi and pounded yam, the Super Eagles scoring and the whole country jams. [Chorus] Naija, Giant of Africa, green and white, the eagles fly, jollof on the fire and the highlife guitar, Naija, reaching for the sky [Bridge] From the Obudu hills to the Yankari springs, the Osun grove is sacred where the river spirit sings, many roads and many faiths under one flag green and white, a giant waking every morning, burning bright. [Final Chorus] Naija, Giant of Africa, green and white, the eagles fly, jollof on the fire and the highlife guitar, Naija, reaching for the sky [Outro] Naija! Giant of Africa, green and white, rise up!
