KOGI
In Nigeria's heart, a gem is found,
Kogi State, where beauty abounds,
Confluence of rivers, sacred meet,
Niger and Benue, waters sweet.
The hills of Okene, majestic stand,
Echoes of ancient, mystic land,
Idah's royal heritage, proud and old,
A legacy of courage, stories untold.
The rugged terrain, a canvas wide,
For scenic vistas, nature's pride,
Itobe's waterfall, a treasure rare,
A haven for dreams, beyond compare.
In Lokoja's streets, history resides,
The colonial past, memories abide,
Lord Lugard's footprints, still remain,
A city of pride, where culture reigns.
The Kogi people, resilient and strong,
Their warmth and hospitality, all day long,
From Igala to Ebira, and Okun too,
A rich tapestry, of cultures anew.
The state of harmony, where rivers meet,
Kogi's beauty, forever to greet,
A land of promise, where hearts are light,
Kogi, the Confluence State, shining bright.
