This poem is dedicated to the middle belt region of Nigeria which is experiencing a massive invasion from the Northern part with a heavy influx of the Hausas and Fulanis with the hope to possess its lands and stamp their cultures in these 'settling' regions. It is also dedicated to any part of the world experiencing such atrocity
hospitality, peace and mutual respect; we’ve chosen
because the key to our prosperity is love, unity and cooperation
settlers now on the cheat as our true identity is kept frozen
but no matter what! We will reverse it with our landmark ordination
the threats against our heritage and culture may have risen
it has kept us unique, unshakable and uncompromising
though there are bastard judases in every dozen
the failure and exposure of their deeds are amusing
the buckles of our identity we will never loosen
no matter how the invader tries strategizing
or putting our inheritance into some sort of categorizing
No! is the answer, none of us will lose being a complete citizen
