Lyrics
ughh yea,nigerians will you hear my cry,
ugh yea o lord i say,2x
(1)North,south,east and west,
we all have come,
north,south east and west,
we've come to see for ourselves, (2x)
Though our tongue and tribe may differ in brotherhood we all are singing,saying
(chorus) UNITY,that is unity
UNITY,we've got to preach it now
UNITY,act upon it now
UNITY,come lets sing and dance in UNITY
(2)United we stand, divided we fall,
do you know that,
one tree can never ever ever make a forest
u know that,u know that, well i say,
remember the parable of the broom stick
that gets broken when all alone
but is so very strong in a bunch of broom
in a bunch of broom....
disunity?.. dont even talk about it
unity?... we've got to preach it,
we belive it and say it,
everybody come on now,
(chorus)
skubabadeistadidididibaba ehhgh
(3)Nigeria is all we have
from the labours of our heroes past,
with pride and dignity
we stand for nigerian unity ,
holding on, holding on
for our children's children,
yes our grand children,
never in our time will
our dear motherland disintergrate,
no matter the diversity
we all are united in
Nigeria as nigerians singing
(chorus)
