Nigeria was released in the 1990 from the “All we need is Love” album and remained a very popular song for many years along with Funmi Adams’ other songs like All we need is love, Mama, Aha ye yaro, Nnem nnem nnemo.
The song is a classic, and the message of patriotism it carries is as important and relevant today as it was twenty-eight years ago.
Befitting in the spirit of Democracy Day celebrations, enjoy Nigeria by Funmi Adams:
