My fathers hath plenty wives
And a richer ban to feed them whole
Their tongues 're different,their faces and hearts too
This is the nuke-the cause of our problem
Our name is Nigeria
Be you North,East,West or South
We're arts but in one galleria
Not a park of wolfs with open mouth
The man is ill and far gone
And like Constantine,to him ears are drawn
Even on his sick bed inheritance command bloodshed
"Am in charge hear"
Nigeria! Can western education ever reign as sin,
Or the Pastor-preneuships of Jesuits,gods approved?
A instigation we're yet to recover from
Shame!in avarice we hustle chaos
Passers-bye observe and comments
Why're Nigerians fighting themselves?
Count me out mr observer
Its not me but my brothers
It happens we bear the same name
Some seek alimony in the name-Biafra
Thousands were displaced and many killed
Mothers slain daughters raped
Was thier goal achieved? Impossibility
"Cuculus nun facit munachum"
My brothers here says resource control
Did you order this ken Saro Wiwa,
This Manner of activism?
So with the gun they ploughed the creek
Crushing Paths harvesting lives like the ripper
Maiming and robbing,kidnapping and demanding,
Squanderable naira notes, that ends in bear banks
And safety boxes of Saipem
The fool can't always be happy
Amnesty came for militants to retire
In compensation Many sent Abroad
Did the scheme work?
Must we set motherland ablaze before voices are heard?
Now a Jihad is hoist to repeat history
Who is our Usman Dan Fodio?
A sharia state or no Nigeria
Muhammedist slay; beating their chest like mountain doe
Chanting "Allah Akbaru" with gods cruelty
Lets know the mind behind it whether political or religious
Let us know
Institutions had become dogs
"Chase him and choose me
I'll woe you nourishment
I'll make Arabic your language,your birth right a sharia state
Join Hands in this vines of swords
And lets against my enemy,our common enemy draw the sword
Fierce-fully for vengeance and then go din
We'll in in the schemes of states
Brake the bridge evoke hunger and strike with strife
Make the seat unfit turn the crown to drawn"
Such were commands from a commander
The clouds are dark so is our hearts
Ethnicity scourge bred out fountains of numbered ills
Religion and greed are followers
These are problems societies consummate
So Mr Observer, don't laugh best
We'can harness the pluralism of our ethnicity into building a Nation
Pivoted on true federalism
Give us support to fuel the Fire
ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY
