Aroba

AROBA* Help Sound the drums Let the sound of the gongs fill the air And take us far back into history Aroba is here, the grand history Let’s talk about our father land Let’s speak of the valour of our past heroes Let’s share their visions Less we fail to progress and fare badly Probably! We might learn Why corruption is a sin Why human massacre is such a menace Why our leaders must learn to rule with faithfulness Why our nation must be great Gather the young ones And let the elders converge So that we shall discuss Whether our nation will be great again *”Aroba” is a Yoruba (Nigerian) language term meaning “fable”
