Ogede my home
Eleojo Grace Urieh 1984 (Maiduguri)
i came from a jungle
Marred with struggles
We have no roads
To carry our loads
There are alots of streams
Watering our dreams
Yet we have to scream
We hope to see a savour
Who can grant us favour
We are blessed with coal
That can light our goal
We need compassion
To aid our passion
And rise to the occasion
Ogede my only home
may the light of dawn
shine right down
into the deep valley
let all our rally
bring good fortune
end our misfortune
