ONCE UPON A TIME IN NIGERIA

Once upon a time in Nigeria Lived a storyteller with a voice like the wind His parables, like whispers, traveled far and wide Touching every corner, stirring every mind. He wrote of a land where the yam was king Where the ancestors’ drums forever sing. He told of Okonkwo, fierce and proud In a village where voices rose clear and loud. With Things Fall Apart, he tore down the veil Unveiling truths buried deep in each tale. He spoke of clashes, of struggle, and pain Cultures colliding like thunder and rain. Once upon a time in Nigeria, lived a man Who awoke a continent, once tightly bound. Through the pages of history, his voice ascends A river of stories that flows without end.
