My country na cruise
Very amazing nation
Plenty things go amaze you
Everybody with their muse
Creating their news
Some for fun and business
Many for manipulations.
Struggle everywhere
Many dey bustle and hustle
While few dey jungle through life
Man no fit live by food alone
Money must dey Aza
To make man confident and independent.
The domineering ladies
Always say
No man be saint
The men go say
All women na the same
Just to do wetin Dey their mind
Welcome to 9ja
Do as you like, but no do pass yourself.
If God was a Nigerian
He will live on less than $1.90 per day
While animals, richer, from swallowed millions
He will read about bullion vans in Bourdillon
Or a looter's jewellery worth paying pension
While poverty spank his ass dry
He will mop his sweat under the sun
Voting a 'wheelbarrow empowerment' governor
Or 'Peter the Rock' that dries up accounts
While their aza swell like neglected corpse
He will see the bruised roads in Nigeria
Hospitals with incurable illness
Or sick schools diagnosed with illiteracy
Why? Their allocation ruthlessly pilfered
He will watch clips of a human-bullion van,
Desecrating his babanriga with dollars
And wrestle impurities in the state.
He would have been a poor Nigerian
like my dad or the king of thieves
Like Olusegun Obasanjo
