We had been steering;
After groping, and sick with fear;
Until, suddenly, we have arrived;
The bomb light land of the boko demons;
They require our death by scores;
Redemption for sins not committed;
Everyday bombing, everyday massacre;
And the president rose;
What did he do?
Sits with his arms folded;
Yet, wanna fish the perpetrators out;
Like he is always fond of doing;
Each time our blood flows in Golgotha;
He doles out epistle of sermons;
Prepared by abati or oro-tan do-glass;
“The president is on top of the situation”;
Far from the bottom, the root;
Nigeria, we hail thee!
A nation totally skidded down;
Into abysmal of disintegration;
Yea, into bottomless pit;
Due to a retinopathy for mega-blast wealth;
And acute seroconversion of public funds to personal use;
Symptoms of corruption-immuno-virus sufficiency syndrome (CIV)

Everybody run, run, run;
ReplyDeleteEverybody scatter, scatter;
Some people lost some bread;
Someone nearly die;
Someone just died;
Boko dey come;
Police dey come;
Kidnappers, too, dey come;
Army dey come;
Robbers dey come;
Confusion everywhere;
Hey yeah!
Seven minutes later;
All don cool down, brother;
Police don go away;
Army don disappear;
Them leave Sorrow,
Tears, and blood;
Them regular trademark!
Everybody run, run, run...
La, la, la, la…

You can't blame the youths;
ReplyDeleteYou can't fool the youths;
You can't fool the youths;
You teach the youths;
About the pirate Hawkins;
You said he was a very great man;
You teach the youths;
About the pirate Morgan;
You said he was a very great man;
When every Christmas comes;
You buy the youth a pretty toy gun;
When every Christmas comes around;
You buy the youth a fancy toy gun;
So, you can't blame the youths;
When they get bad;
You can't fool the youths;
You can't fool the youths.
