IPE AKOKO:MY HOMELAND
Amidst hills and mountains high,
Lies Ipe Akoko, with history's sigh,
A town of plenty, verdant and bright,
With vegetables and greens, a delightful sight.
Rich cultural heritage, a treasure rare,
Ayelereme's golden festival, beyond compare,
Virgin ladies, pure and fair,
Prepared for marriage, with love to share.
A community that honors marriage vows,
Adultery shunned, fidelity avows,
Supportive men, responsible and true,
Tall, strong, and handsome, through and through.
Dark, chocolate skins, elegant and fine,
Palm wine's natural bliss, a festive sign,
Fibers and vitamin B12, a healthy delight,
Ipe Akoko's blessings, shining so bright.
Gorgeous women, romantic and fair,
God's creations, beyond compare,
Rotund, slim, and statuesque, they stand,
Infectious smiles, loving hands.
Caring, industrious, and gracious too,
Their women excel, in "odza room" anew,
Nurturing hearts, and homes so sweet,
Ipe Akoko's daughters, can't be beat.
Men in leadership, politics, education's might,
Religion's pillars, shining with light,
Agriculture and knowledge, their guiding creed,
Ipe Akoko's pride, forever in deed.
I hail from Ipe Akoko, my homeland dear,
No shame, only pride, and joy appear,
For this community, so rich and bold,
Ipe Akoko, forever in my heart, to hold.
