Letter to Funmi Adams At this dark period our time therefore, Nigeria recalls you, eliciting for the extension and popularisation of your memo of unity in diversity, the best offered by a Nigerian artist. It is needful to culturalise it to dominate our broadcast and social media so that your intricating points should be resuscitated to conquer the reactionary elements within and outside Nigeria. Dear patriotic Funmi, I came to know you for the first time in the late 1980’s. That was when you gingered our dying spirit of nationalism with your highly inspiring song, ‘ Nigeria my beloved country’. I cannot remember the last time I heard it played in public. As of now, I have not heard about you for quite a long time, but I hope you are healthy and this medium will be our point of convergence. To the best of my discernment, your song is still a master piece, more fitting now than before as Nigeria is in great turmoils. Many Nigerians of my age and beyond must have abandoned you, after serving us the best amusement you could to enhance our national identity and consciousness. But count me out because your unerring passion for our country lingers in my memory, hence the compelling urge in conveying this message to you. Forever, even if many Nigerians have forsaken you, believe you me Nigeria will continue to remember and glorify you, recapping your stimulating words such as, ” I know a lot about my country.” Nobody can fault you for your deliberate pomposity in the monopoly of your unbridled affection for Nigeria. I am referring to your calculated style of personalizing Nigeria to remodel your deepening emotions as you were able to romantically idolize Nigeria via the adoption of ‘ my beloved country’. By the time your creative and outstanding enactment was making a breakthrough, I was very young then that I could not adequately perceive it beyond a mere musical fun. I didn’t know that there would be a problematic time like this to refer to your song as a motivation to renew our love for Nigeria and provide solace to the delicate heart and reconstruct the country, departing away from its ruining experiences. Indeed, this is the right time to revive this insightful song for sober reflections vis-a-vis our current upheavals. Writing this memo to you confers me bulky sensation to cheer up your magnifying project that is capable of rehabilitating our national mess. Your eminent anthem is not only meant to capture allegiance, your factual and potent axiom and infatuation for Nigeria, but it also possesses the power to heal the fatal wound of our decadence in terms of regional agitation, because we are heading nowhere other than Nigeria as a country without nation. Yes, tell anyone that Nigeria is just a country without having a nation and this is a dangerous trend of our existence. In recasting our national spirit, the lyrics are proportionally equated to soothe our troubled minds, sustaining deep romance of our country that we will be ready to deal with all our challenges. I still like your lyrical adaptation of ‘ working together is the key’ which is a comprehensive reaction to our current regional and ethic agitation in some parts of the country. And by the lyrical composition that ‘ I know we have a great potential to do more than just survive,’ you ignite the spontaneous flame of jingoism that empowers our political will to attain its maximum level. Without hesitation therefore, I am cajoling all of us to bring back to life the Funmi Adams’ captivating song to re-echo that bridging theme of all time for the sake of Nigeria’s survival. And I believe that the broadcast media are in a better position to accomplish this national task by allotting a little time regularly for the display of your indelible performance. It is indeed an elergy for all times and will be of tremendous results to the very young who are still unaware about it. In fact, the significance of your impressive ballad is greater than all the Nollywood and Kannywood movies in the prevailing uncertainty in the country. While your three stanza poem is vastly nationalistic in value, the duo film industry is never bothered to address our national crisis. Most of their themes are centered on other material gains as the ultimate objective. As your concern for Nigeria is not a fraudulent type, let us lift your song once more to promote nationalism to counter excessive materialism. For instance, to observe the next Independence day, this song should be played through the appropriate means of communication to rejuvenate our ailing national spirit. Remember the famous adage postulated by the British author Edward Bulwer- Lytton in 1839 that the pen is more powerful than the sword. It simply means that written word is more effective tool for communication and of course the genesis of your song was the pen. It is this power that is romantically reflected in your communication and that is why this writer is also deploying the instrumental pen to recapture what you marvelously did for Nigeria through entertainment. However, it daunts me that many Nigerians have forgotten this fascinating and moving song; many amongst the very young don’t know it. Despite its years of launching, I still believe that your song is not archaic to be discarded at this trying period. Not only that, it will bestow on the growing children the euphoria for staunchness to defeat our trouble makers at the psychological level. At this dark period our time therefore, Nigeria recalls you, eliciting for the extension and popularisation of your memo of unity in diversity, the best offered by a Nigerian artist. It is needful to culturalise it to dominate our broadcast and social media so that your intricating points should be resuscitated to conquer the reactionary elements within and outside Nigeria. It is very likely that you are not tired after retirement. I do hope that you are doing well. You may wish to give us another patriotic exhibition through a similar mobilizing channel. Albeit age may not be in your favor, nevertheless, the significant message will definitely be the same and you will be able to score the goal for the second time: Instilling Patriotism in the Hearts of Nigerians. Esteemed regards to your family members. By Abdu Abdullahi
Well written, great use of words here. I wish she gets to see this and surprise us with a piece as authentic and patriotic as this. We need this now more than ever before. 🙏🏾
We all will love to see her...but hopes are dwindling as years go by. She should be in her 60s or 70s by now and Nigeria still has no honor for its heroes and celebrities...until they are no more. It's a shame
Unfortunately the leaders of that country dsnt reason like you all do. Rather they care about their cows, their pockets and their religion. Why wud i blame Fumni Adams for her decisions? She loved naija and she cud die fr her country but the moment she realised it dun worth it, she cut out.. I regret to be called a Nigerian
I am surprise no musician has made a remake of this song, this gives me nostalgia, the golden days of Nigeria when musicians make music that appeals to the consciousness of the people, on like this one’s we have now. We as a nation we forget musicians like Funmi Adams, Ebenezer Obe, Mike Okri, Sunday Okoso, Sunday Ade, victor Olaiya and many more. These beautiful minds were more patriotic than our politicians and some idiot musicians we have now. This song is my all time favorite “Nigeria my beloved country” that song was an anthem, anytime I listen that song it reminds me how we have failed so many generations by not doing the right and calling ourselves and the politicians to order. We keep playing identity, tribal and belle politics, living nothing for the next generation to build on. With that been said also when I listen to that song it gives me hope, to keep advocating for all Nigerians mostly the youth to come together to fight these politicians that are destroying and milking the country dry. How I wish the organizers of the end sars protest played “Nigeria my beloved country” during the protest at Lekki toll gate.
Funmi Adams really deserve an award for this evergreen and melodious song. Revibrating the cords of Unity, Team work and Patriotism. . .to the future generations, please don't let this patriotic & lovely song die❤❤❤
@@seanaj6209 all efforts to know about her is abortive. We've got to her Manager and her Saxophone player at that time but they doesn't know anything about her. Maybe she's dead
Each time I listen to this song tears always roll down my eyes a promised nation gone off track. Where did we get it wrong impunity, injustice,Boko Haram killings, massive oil theft, mismanagement of public fund........just name where did we get it all wrong.....
This song brings tears in my eyes. Changing trends of event when you compared the Nigeria of yesterday and today's. Dear God heal our country. God bless legendary Fumny Adams
I wish like this very song should be playing over and over during independence day.. Live to remember both the melody and the nature of the country as of the.
This brings back fondest memories. I was in the original video because Funmi Adams was an alumni of my secondary school....she came back and included us in this project. It was an honour to have taken part in the project.❤️ 🇳🇬❤️🇳🇬
I just played this song for my kids and told them that this song was sang when Nigeria was Nigeria. Remembering those days that this particular song gave us hope of better days ahead. So unfortunate that our leaders have battered the country and dashed our hopes through corruption, nepotism and selfishness.
Listening to this piece by Mama Funmi Adams in the 80s as a primary School pupil was quite fulfilling. I have hitherto listened to it on every 1st October...God bless you Ma, God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Father heal Nigeria and restore your beloved country, Father heal the people and heal the land, Father have mercy on Nigeria and grant Nigeria peace in the name of Jesus Christ
Nigeria...this song right here,once filled many of your young with hope of what a great country you wld turn out to be. Some have grown old and died with no hope insight as over the years, the leaders you have churned out have made many who once beemed with hope about your potential lose any ounce of what hope they have left. The second verse says.. "I know we have a great potential,to do more than just survive..." Alas,today , with no potential insight, your young are barely just surviving.
It's so sad that the future of Naija is seriously shaking I pray God in His mercy restore this nation back. Thanks to funmi Adams for the wonderful song
This is my first time of hearing this song, but believe you me, my heart just glue on it . The voice is something else, so Angelic in sound, I just felt an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. I feel like crying 😢. May God Bless Funmi Adams, wherever she is , and may God Bless and uphold our dear country Nigeria 🇳🇬 😢🙏.
This song should be our national prayer Would have said national anthem buh we have a good one too and this one is long It's a song that reverberates a hope in this country in anyone who listens to it
May God Almighty keep this woman safe and sound where ever she is.. All her dreams and prayers fr Naija all came to just a mere dream! What a compatriot u re Fumni.. Where is useless Nigeria now?! So shameful!
Ironically, Funmi Adams (half-Igbo, half-Yoruba) gave up on Nigeria and relocated permanently to Pittsburg, USA. She has refused to step into Nigeria since 2010. She also refuses to have anything to do with Nigeria. Yet her song helps to enforce the Stockholm Syndrome of "patriots" who hold on to a hopeless contraption and global eyesore called "one indivisible Nigeria".
I'm still looking for a copy of this wonderful song that is not distorted. May I propose that this song should be sang every October 1. By the way, where is Funmi Adams?
God where did we go wrong? This is the woman that saw tomorrow. She knew a time like this will come where we'll be divided along all lines. A time where youthfulness is measured on your ability to take hard drugs, womanize, kill for money and defend tribe, religion and ethnicity without reasoning nor respect to others view. God bless you wherever you are ma'am.

Funmi Adams deserves National honor and use this as National Anthem.
This song should be playing on all platforms at this our moment of awakening..,
Absolutely bruh
Where is Funmi Adams? I can't even find any information about her on social media
@@seanaj6209 all efforts to know about her is abortive. We've got to her Manager and her Saxophone player at that time but they doesn't know anything about her. Maybe she's dead
Exactly what went through my mind during the period. It played in my head during all the SARS period .
@@AyoDawson Yes, maybe she's dead. What a lovely woman. She loves children so much.
This song brings alot of memories. Oh God i feel lile tearing up😢
An amazing song, Always revibrating the cords of unity.
Each time I listen to this song tears always roll down my eyes a promised nation gone off track. Where did we get it wrong impunity, injustice,Boko Haram killings, massive oil theft, mismanagement of public fund........just name where did we get it all wrong.....
Finally found this song after more than 20 years of search, what a great song and lyrics, we hope we get this country working. Thanks Funmi Adams.
This song brings tears in my eyes. Changing trends of event when you compared the Nigeria of yesterday and today's. Dear God heal our country.
God bless legendary Fumny Adams
If I have my way, this should be our national anthem.
I wish like this very song should be playing over and over during independence day.. Live to remember both the melody and the nature of the country as of the.
Been singing this song , sang it on the 25th of February 2023 and cried . Nigeria still isn’t great.
Thats your own cup of tea.
Fake lover of NIGERIA.
No be the same NIGERIA you and your ilks dey call ZOO???
This brings back fondest memories. I was in the original video because Funmi Adams was an alumni of my secondary school....she came back and included us in this project. It was an honour to have taken part in the project.❤️ 🇳🇬❤️🇳🇬
Wow! Then you must know something about her sudden disappearance then
Wow... That's Great, what school was that ?

I just played this song for my kids and told them that this song was sang when Nigeria was Nigeria. Remembering those days that this particular song gave us hope of better days ahead. So unfortunate that our leaders have battered the country and dashed our hopes through corruption, nepotism and selfishness.
I play this music every time and I am not ok listening to it.
😢 😭 I just wept listening to this song now...I never knew the singer then in the 1990s when it was always played during 1st Oct... this is golden
We need more songs like this that remind us of the importance of PEACE
Not importance of peace, but importance of unity.
Listening to this piece by Mama Funmi Adams in the 80s as a primary School pupil was quite fulfilling. I have hitherto listened to it on every 1st October...God bless you Ma, God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Father heal Nigeria and restore your beloved country, Father heal the people and heal the land, Father have mercy on Nigeria and grant Nigeria peace in the name of Jesus Christ
I've been looking for this for YEARS! THANK YOU 🎈❤️
Literally in tears😢... This hurts differently, God please heal this land

With everything going on in Nigeria today threatening our unity,we should listen to this number by our babies and be ashamed of ourselves.
Brilliant effort 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
It’s giving me goosebumps. I’m in tears😢
This song hits so so much, like why can't we take this country back
This is my first time of hearing this song, but believe you me, my heart just glue on it .

I feel like crying 😢.
May God Bless Funmi Adams, wherever she is , and may God Bless and uphold our dear country Nigeria 🇳🇬 😢🙏.
Amen my brother
It so interesting and I love listening to it every time
Amazing lyrics from a legend
Reminds me of my childhood when I believed in Nigeria. When ever I listen to this song I get nostalgia. Great music.
Wow from Facebook to here just because of this great song, by funmi Adams.
Dear fimi Adams I miss your songs we need this now to revive the country
Early 90’s😃 my childhood is here again. I use to watch them on black and white tv 📺
At 4pm on October 1st when NTA resumes. How times have changed
This should be our national anthem along side the 2nd stanza of this present anthem we have now. Peace
This should be made 🇳🇬 national anthem.🫶🏼
i just told someone this a minute ago.... This is far better than the National Anthem. It promotes peace and creates the bond
Wow! Great memories, to think of it that I was among the students that sang In this song, lovely memories
Really can you tell us more...do you have the original video?
Make it our national anthem in Nigeria
It's Not about what your Country can do for you, but what you can do for your country🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤.
Happy Independence Nigeria
Not even sure my mom was born when this song was released but here I am loving it in my 20s
Great song. Fills me with emotion everytime I listen to it.
Hmmmmm you're very correct. May God bring Nigeria back again.
Evergreen song lord please intervene on our country, 🙏
I love it
My God can't just get off good old days l so much love this song and funmi adams
I pray that God will show us all the best of us and the Fountains of Joy
Nostalgia!!! I used to listen to this song on radio in the early 2000s.
I've been listening since 80s. Amazing song indeed! Ageless!!
Fumi Adams needs to be awarded by the Nigerian Federal government.
It's just a pity that we can just forget about her, is so painful.
Where have you gone Funmi Adams, Nigeria turns its lonely eyes to you !
This song reminds me of my childhood. What a great memory.
This song should be our national prayer
Would have said national anthem buh we have a good one too and this one is long
It's a song that reverberates a hope in this country in anyone who listens to it
I have never been this emotional 😢it really melts my heart.
Tanks for uploading, you got no idea how i feel about dis song, God bless you ma
The chills I get from this song ehn!!! 🥺
Chai, nostalgic feeling. Waoooh!
This song always makes tears fall from my eyes😢😢
May God Almighty keep this woman safe and sound where ever she is..
All her dreams and prayers fr Naija all came to just a mere dream! What a compatriot u re Fumni..
Where is useless Nigeria now?! So shameful!

Love this!
This should be our real anthem. Unfortunately we'll get there someday.

That's so true, same here. Now we are in our 40s and our Nigeria is still what I don't know. God help us
This song makes me have memories of the old days
Thank you for the song
🎉❤
No one is talking about the trumpeter
Asin ehn... Very clean.😊
OMG tears running down my eyes
A classic
A FOREVER LIVING SONG
God where did we go wrong?
This is the woman that saw tomorrow.
She knew a time like this will come where we'll be divided along all lines.
A time where youthfulness is measured on your ability to take hard drugs, womanize, kill for money and defend tribe, religion and ethnicity without reasoning nor respect to others view.
God bless you wherever you are ma'am.
Amen, 🙌🙏🙌

Anytime I listen to this song I cri😭
Sing it!

Is she still alive?
@@AyoDawson Yes, she joined a church called MFM, moved to the USA and wants nothing to do with hopeless Nigeria. She is now in her early sixties.
