''Nigeria is 25. The odds we did survive
Arise, salute the nation
Come Join the celebration
The people united will never fall
The sun will shine and the rain will fall
On our land, vast and mighty
Richly blessed by the almighty
Like bees in the hive, they work so hard to make the honey flow
But not without the use of the hoe
Arise, salute the nation, come join the celebration
Nigeria is 25, Nigeria is 25''
Come Join the celebration
The people united will never fall
The sun will shine and the rain will fall
On our land, vast and mighty
Richly blessed by the almighty
Like bees in the hive, they work so hard to make the honey flow
But not without the use of the hoe
Arise, salute the nation, come join the celebration
Nigeria is 25, Nigeria is 25''
