To Chibuisi FELIX
We'll write Africa soon
from the houses our ancestors built
We'll complete the other half of the yellow sun
We will beat the drums together
along Anambra and Abia border;
for we are better than we were yesterday
We will soon search for the other half of Biafra
then, raise her sunset before the dawn
Close friend, bosom feelings not a cause to mourn
May we always remember...
May we always remember that the
beauty of the world lies in us
I won't be the friend you murder in your dreams
And when the moon is labouring to shine
promises may lead us to believe that
our ink shall write African glories...
We will not miss the goodness of this fine world
May we always remember.

punish my honey
drink my creamy dream
eat my children between fat-bread
Stulted pedantic canker-bloom
Your bird-plucked eyes
will gas-up and advertise
Onye ebezina na uju na oga adinma
Onye echezina maka na echi nabia

Jiri ndidi sowe uwa na oga adinma
Efi na eweghi odudu obu chi ya na
Achuro ya ijiji na ahu ya oge nile.
Onye ejila ugobe nke ndu ya na aka ya
Make uwa bu nke na akpa onye ya yo ba chukwu
Maka na emesia na oga adinma kpebere obasi
Mezie onwe gi emezi maka echi na abia abia,
Ifeoma di niro onye elela anya na azu.
Le ka umununu si agba egwu na elugwe
Le ka ndi ekwe na akopu onu ha nile
Lekwa ka elugwe na eluwa si buru enyi ugbua
Okuko na Efi na Mbe na akparita uka na udo
Maka na ifeoma ka ha nile nacho na uwa.
Ebezina na chukwu no nso
Ficha anya gi na ifeoma na abia
Ifeoma di niro, nke di iro ka nma
Ogazi amaka ejiri ya ago mmuo
Oweghi ihe na adigidi na eluwa
Mezie owegi emezi na oga adinma.
Ezi enyi amaka na uwa

Lezie enyi gi anya oge nile
Ahabula ya ka onwu na nsogbu.

Na oganihu ono gi na akuku
Lezie enyi gi anya nke oma.
Okeosisi na agba egwu na ukwu ya
Ka ona enye nsogbu make ka na
Ukwu ga eji ya out ubochi na abia
Ogologo ndu ka madu nile na ayo

Odikwa egwu.
I would never forget that ancient call
The cry of the babies , the smiles of the toddlers
singing of the birds and the melodiously chipping of the insects
In a beautiful land filled with milk and honey.
A land of peace and harmony.
Have you been to Nkporo before?
A village adored with nice and kind people
Very hospitality and dream oriented people.
Nkporo- so nice a place to be
With its cozy air and luxurious hills and mountains.
And streams of glory dwells there in.
She dwells in ohafia local government area,
In the populous and magnificent state of Abia.
God"s own state, where heroes are breed.
Where pretty woman with long hair and nose are seen only.
You have not gone to any where if you have not visited Nkporo,
the mighty buffaloes.
So beautiful like the morning glory.
Yes Prince Ekpemandu
vengeance is mine saith the Lord,
and I would have justice for it too,
what was done to this lady be abhorred,
that the mongrel dog gets his due!

#Dedicated to the lady who get raped
in that Abia state university....
