The first time I heard this song titled "Great Nation" by Timi Dakolo, I was overwhelmed. Apart from his strong voice and energy used in delivering the song, I was overwhelmed by the lyrics of the song as it passed a very strong and important message to the citizens and leaders of Nigeria.
Just like some people also thought, I feel the song should be Nigeria's Anthem as the lyrics were so on point.
