Green is for growth and development.

Green is for freshness and innovation.

I am Green, and Green is Nigeria.

Untamed, like an unbroken horse.

Wild, strong with great potential.

Valuable now, an envisaged asset on the racecourse.

Endowed with uncommon beauty.

Resilient like the iroko in a storm,

Lesser trees snap, or are uprooted.

Nigeria has remained undaunted

In the wake of her numerous challenges.

There is hope:

In form of the child playing ball with a spoilt orange,

In form of the woman that feeds her children when food is scarce,

In form of the man that strives to fend for his family.

The Nigerian Spirit just never gives up.

I know there is hope for a brighter tomorrow.

We can only work and pray.

May our Eagle soar again.

She may be wounded now, but she’ll heal.

She will once more fly boldly against the clear blue sky.

The Green, and the White, and the Green.
