	Being African is not being black 
Every being is African  
What a blessed generation 
History beckons! Lions are happy 
 
I am happy, to be in this land, Africa! 
My motherland and my fatherland 
A place were sun shines and rain rains  
Thick hair that cuts my happiness 
 
The life is culture and heritage  
Wonderful mother that cares 
Big gandy that loves children 
Open ground for playmaking 
 
Enjoyment and festivities at meals 
Inspiring wonders and myths 
Respct unlimited and enterprise  
I enjoy drinking palm wine  
 
And also telling people that Africa  
has been a take-off point of the world 
In human and natural resources.  
I love to say that Africa is my home 
 
That black people are beauty 
Africa has nature as it was... 
Africa is not a country but a home 
Proudly African! Proudly Nigerian!

 That's a rather well composed poem. You make me feel incredibly proud to have you as a citizen of our great nation!
Keep up the good work.
