Joseph Jeremiah Naye Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

The unequal yoking of nationalities in the Nigerian state has made cohesion difficult because of the understandable differences. Yet to untie this bond will break the unity since 1915.

Tribal Tripod

The tripod stand of the three major tribal 
 domains;
Stands forged by force in 1914 by the
 British ambitious chains.
These stand's can't be undone now without 
 rocking the pot uneasily,
Unless broken into pieces, they are already
 knitted, though unequally.
United we stand Nigeria, divided we fall, 
 Nigerians, hold refrains.
