Inspired Lines From Timi Dakolo's Great Nation by Pajude: 1:52pm On Aug 01, 2016 |
In times past, we (Nigerians) have been blessed with songs creatively laden with revolutionary and patriotic lines. Inasmuch as this is the case, it appears that most people never really understood the songs let alone took it upon themselves to be that change they clamour for. This song by Timi Dakolo is one of such songs. I personally would have recommended it to be an alternative anthem for the country. Read on to discover the beauteous nature of the song. Verse 2 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 Timi says something quite important here: the need to take advantage of our numbers and not to use it against ourselves. According Ben Murray Bruce, Nigeria’s biggest problem is not corruption or poverty or crime, it is our inability to stand united; unity is our problem. We must understand that it is by seeing the next person as a brother that we all can work together peacefully towards achieving a great nation, a great legacy for the generations to come. Our numbers and ethnic differences could be a plus but could also be our greatest undoing, let us unite instead for the greater good. Chorus 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 Timi also presents to us another important factor that can help us stay a great nation – belief. No matter how much other African nations look up to us, no matter how much they believe in us, it is our self-belief that really counts. It acts as a catalyst, a boost to ensuring that greatness is second nature. And at the tail end of the chorus he maintains that one day we’ll shine like the sun, that’s the height of it. It’s called dreaming big and that’s an attribute that every Nigerian should possess. Go beyond what you see now and begin to paint a bigger picture of Nigeria. It is not by bad-mouthing the government and being unpatriotic that real change comes; real change starts with you, what do you believe? What are you doing about what you believe? I’ll round this off with that thought and I endear you to let it simmer into your heart – way past your head. You and I have a lot to offer to make our country a great nation indeed; let’s make it happen! Till next time, stay inspired! Source: www.nerveng.com
