Unity In Cultural Diversity

The westerners eat Amala and Ewedu We eat Akpo and Ofe Nsala They dance Juju and Apala We dance bongo and atilogwu the beat of life. T^he Northerners speaks hausa whilst we speak igbo They married with no bride price and dowry But we marry with bride price and huge dowry. Cut the man"s hair low, short to remind him That Marriage is never a bed of roses therefore he must look After our pride, princess, prestigious priceless pretty queen Who must painstakingly bear his name abandoning her Humble background and journey with him amidst roses and bullets. They wear buba and agbada in an architectural design Darshiki from the north domain whilst we wear Ukwu george They plate shoku, koroba and kpatawo and make beads round their neck Igbo speak, yoruba frown, hausa dance, itskiri watch Kanuri laugh, Ebira smile, Nupe point, Tiv demonstrate Fulani pick. Idoma cry, Awori cry, Efik console, Ibibio comfort Yet Unity we stand despite the cultural diversity. One for all, all for one, we stand. Bound to the humble land in hundred fold Relevant is our culture and tradition In defend shall we die and perish for our Precious country.
