OGONILAND
Ogoniland
Our promise land
The people’s pride
The world’s prey
Our oil
Our fertile land
Our streams and its treasures
Oh! What a legacy
Ogoniland
The struggle crowd
The victory-sure land
The mass joint
Our classrooms
Our talents and culture
Our future Our life
Our past stars
Our offsprings
Our fore-father’s land
Our forth-kids land
