In the heart of Africa, where the sun shines bright,
There stand brave soldiers, ready to fight for peace,
With courage and honor,
They march into peace missions,
Protecting their country, like never before
.Through thick and thin, they stand tall and strong,
Facing danger and fear, all day long,
With rifles in hand and hearts full of pride,
They fight for their nation, side by side.
In the heat of battle, they never back down,
Their bravery and valor, known all around,
They sacrifice their lives, without a second thought,
For the freedom of others, they fought and fought.
In the face of adversity, they remain steadfast,
Their loyalty and dedication, unsurpassed,
They serve with honor, till the very end,
Their sacrifice and courage is second to none,
Let us always commend their passion.
Nigerian soldiers, I salute you today,
For your service and sacrifice, come what may.
You deserve all the praise and merit rave,
You are the hope of the nation,When we sleep,
You ignore nature call for sleep all the time,
Hey, you are the greater hope of all time,
I repeat it again,
That you merit rave.
I called on fellow Nigerians,
The leaders and the masses,Let us honor and remember them at all time
For their sacrifice and courage that always unique.
Nigerian soldiers, our heroes of all time,
I thank you for all that you do,
More strength.
