A Song for the Igbo: A Cry for Freedom

In the lush valleys where the palm trees sway,
Where the Niger whispers through night and day,
Igbo land, of resilient might,
Rise, embrace your destined light.

From the lands of Nsukka to the shores of Bonny,
Where the spirit of ancestors is ever sunny,
The drumbeats echo in the twilight air,
A call for freedom, a fervent prayer.

O spirits of Eri, hear our song,
In justice's name, we've waited long.
With strength from Ala, the earth we tread,
We'll lift our voices, forge ahead.

Our forebears sowed these fields with care,
Their hopes and dreams are our sacred fare.
Chukwu, guide us with your grace,
Through trials and time, this path we trace.

We are the heirs of a noble past,
With courage that forever will last.
In the face of trials, we'll never bend,
For liberty, our cause defend.

In the bustling markets where life thrives,
In every art, our culture survives.
The Oja's notes call out with pride,
In freedom's quest, we will abide.

No longer shall we bow in fear,
With every step, our fate is clear.
We rise as one, with hearts aflame,
For freedom is our steadfast claim.

Let the Niger's song be heard afar,
A beacon bright as the evening star.
Igbo land, our cherished home,
In freedom's light, forever roam.

O ancestors, lend us your might,
To shatter chains and claim the right.
For in our hearts, the vision grows,
In unity, our spirit flows.

So rise, O Igbo, claim your due,
With dignity and valor true.
In freedom's name, our future see,
To live, to thrive, eternally.

With each sunrise, a promise bright,
Through every dusk, our hope alight.
Igbo land, forever free,
In unity, our destiny.

Prompt - Write a powerful poem for the freedom of the Igbo people

I used the same prompt on Meta AI, and I got the following result...

"Rise, Oh Igbo, Rise"

In chains of oppression, you've been bound
Your spirit, unbroken, still resounds
From Biafra's ashes, a phoenix rises
Freedom's call, your hearts, never compromises

Your ancestors' dreams, your children's fate
Demanding justice, an equitable state
Self-determination, a fundamental right
No longer silenced, shine with all your might

From Nri's ancient throne to modern-day strife
Your resilience, a beacon of life
Through forced assimilation, you've remained strong
Preserving culture, where your roots belong

Oh, Igbo, your time has come to shine
Break free from shackles, redefine
Your destiny, no longer defined
By external forces, but by your own design

Rise, oh Igbo, rise, and claim your place
Among nations, with dignity and grace
Your freedom cry, echoes through the land
Unite, and stand, hand in hand

No more marginalization, no more pain
Your future bright, like the morning sun's rays
Self-rule, autonomy, your birthright
Embrace your heritage, shine with all your light

Rise, oh Igbo, rise, and take your stand
With courage, unity, and a steadfast hand
Your freedom struggle, a testament to your might
Emerging stronger, shining brighter, in the light.

Note: This poem is a call to action, encouraging the Igbo people to unite and demand their rights, freedom, and self-determination. It acknowledges their resilience, rich culture, and heritage, urging them to rise above oppression and claim their rightful place among nations.

This one na serious matter. Crying for freedom when you dey enjoy the benefits of the same Nigeria you want to separate from.

Make we no forget how the Igbos dey always want to claim ownership of every success while running away from accountability. Freedom wey you go use to dey scatter things up and down? Na wetin we need?

You don't think there was a time Nigeria cried for freedom from Britain? You now celebrate that freedom every 1st October
