A Poem for the leading milk brand in Nigeria - PEAK


Dutch Innovation; Nigerian Pride

Under the glare of the African sky
The mountains and the palms of the black coast
Row fisherman, row
From afar, a timeless gift has been brought to you
From the far away land of Europe
From the ancient grasslands of Friesland
Springs a fountain
The river thereof, flows to far away Africa

In the heart of Africa, flows the river
A river of hope, a river of strength
Through the busy streets of Lagos
Across the desert lands of Kano
Along the creeks of Calabar
Bringing healing to a nation
Comfort to an ailing people
Nurturing the baby into a child
The child into a man
Strengthening the man
Against the challenges of life
With a stronger body
And a sharper mind

PEAK, Nigerian heritage
Brought from a distant land
Called by a Nigerian name
From the very beginning of time
PEAK, Nigerian pride
Synonymous with the spirit of the Nigerian people
After the battle is fought with the shield
The flag is hoisted in triumph
Fly PEAK flag, fly at full mast
The day is here when our people will say
This is Nigeria,
The land flowing with PEAK and honey.
