Black elephant in the sun
As the biblical tower of Babel
Hordes of twisted tongues
Infest width, breadth
From Ajegunle slums
To the plateaus of Jos!...

nation,Nigeria.
Which differ from 
state like bulgeria.
You'll happily clap,

It’s called playing your part
It is your right, your voice 
Your future, your choice
One vote, one man
One people, one country

The people’s existence, strongly dehumanized
peak of crimes against humanity localized
a hub for death’s way station
corrupt and a blind nation
hoping its eyes open to see and realize....

Super Eagles soaring high-

A place that gives wings to my dreams
And hushes my fears, worries and screams
Where I’d develop stronger wings to fly
Rising so higher, touching the blue sky
That I dream and pray it ends not as dream...

EASTER DAYS
Giving me health bangers,
WA ZO BIA should rest in peace,
Like a corpse in Requiem,
Like a dying man seeing,
Visions of the dead,
Nigeria is a leprosied dead.
Science and symptoms
Becomes soap opera,
Like Johnson's family on TV....

Africa is a shotgun
The origin of all civilization
Nigeria is the Trigger
But its a long shot
Awaiting the rise of the giant 
  Of the dark continent
Oh !! Africa how long shall
  Wait for your emergence.

Nightly coloured, dark and shine
Indefatigable race of a race
Gold and silver blessed
Endowed and rich in culture held
Reaching out for peace
In fair words of mutual co existence
Able but not without flaws.

The world here is black
Yet without a slack....

To many, a weak country
To some, a lowlife convo
I weep for thoughts of humanity
It's so shameful that nobody knows

She is black and beautiful
She is strong and lovable
A mixture of nature and life
Her flag tells it all: Green and White

She is Nigeria!...

I am Sky high
Black face
Bold looks
With thoughts dancing on the rail of time
I am moving train
Extravagant looks
Exciting struggles
With a mind focused 
I am sharp smile
Seducing worries
Searching for delighted sparkle
With dreams larger than Africa

I am Nigerian...

This a journey of old. 
Tales written and 
unwritten. We know 
where we are coming 
from but not where 
we go. 1st october, first 
born of october, 
nigeria rejoice. Of 
freedom; a saved 
safe kingdom. Not the 
woe nor war can fence 
our path. Happy 
birthday to my dear 
country....

Let the feature fly
And the wings beat
Because this is Nigeria
Nigeria! Nigeria! So high
Nigeria! Nigeria! The dream of a future very bright
Nigeria! Nigeria! So fit
Nigeria! Your greatness you meet
Nigeria! Your greatness we see
And never again to split
Nigeria! Nigeria!! Nigeria!!!...

One Vienna says my poems are complex.
She ought to know this is a reflex
That I cannot surmount,
Of styles strange and oddities profound.

Like Prof. Wole Soyinka of Nigeria,
I write not for the lay who poetry fear
But the masters to whom this art is dear,
And who the language of gods revere....
