Lift Up Nigeria song by Sunny Okosun
The Lift Up Nigeria song, according to Premium Times, is one of the evergreen Nigerian classics owing to its message.
The chorus of the Yoruba song “Nigeria yi ti gbogbo wa ni, koma gbodo baje, tori kosi 'bomiran ti a le lo, ajo o le da bi ile, ejeka s'owo po ka fi mo sokan, gbe ke mi gbe'' is translated to English as “Nigeria belongs to every Nigerian and we should not allow her degenerate because we have no other home aside from Nigeria."
Sang by Sunny Okosun, the song featured the likes of music legend King Sunny Ade, Segun Arinze and so forth.
