Happy birthday, dear Mrs. Nonye Soludo!
In Anambra's heart, you brightly glow,
Through Healthy Living, you've made it so,
Your passion for wellness, it clearly shows.
Your beauty and smile, a dazzling sight,
A beacon of hope, like stars at night,
In all you do, you bring delight,
Guiding us towards a future bright.
With each passing year, you shine anew,
A leader, wife, and friend so true,
In your endeavors, we find our cue,
To celebrate the greatness that is you.
So, here's to you, a birthday cheer,
A day to cherish and hold dear,
Mrs. Nonye Soludo, far and near,
May joy and blessings fill your year!
With gratitude and cheers conveyed,
Happy birthday, to you, we've bade,
Wishing you joy on this special day,
Happy birthday, Anambra First Lady, we say.

How can I make you see what I feel
When love is blind
When I push hard
You might think love is wicked
Here you are staring at me
The only thing i want is to deep my lips to yours
And our love will be unbreakable
Don’t call it magic, it’s a miracle.

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.
