Best Poems Written by Ebenezer Adeniyi

Aroba

AROBA*
Help Sound the drums
Let the sound of the gongs fill the air
And take us far back into history
Aroba is here, the grand history

Let’s talk about our father land
Let’s speak of the valour of our past 
heroes
Let’s share their visions
Less we fail to progress and fare badly

Probably!
We might learn
Why corruption is a sin
Why human massacre is such a 
menace
Why our leaders must learn to rule 
with faithfulness
Why our nation must be great

Gather the young ones
And let the elders converge
So that we shall discuss
Whether our nation will be great 
again


*”Aroba” is a Yoruba (Nigerian) 
language term meaning “fable”
