Long ago, we strived to find
shelter and food to survive.
We went up and came down.
Through the lane of pinches
where it’s paltry needles
We walked in stressful ways.
and there has been no fair
change for a long time.
My brother and I myself
We grieved highly and low.
Because we want to find green
and white for our impending
And our coming future took a long
But we drank salty water.
And we ate rotten cassava.
And we survived still in the sun.
Unexpectedly, we found that
Yesterday came to us in a blue
Because my brother is left
He went to the next level.
Leave me with one or none.
waiting for me to leave as well.
I want to immigrate to faraway nations
where my speeches will be heard
as my brother's speech is heard.
The situation in our country has worsened, and I have lost  to understand what is bothering me in my life. My brother and I tried to improve our lives, but it failed. Therefore, we decided to emigrate. He migrated; now he is in Europe, and I am in Nigeria. To be honest, I also decided to migrate to another continent. because I will leave my country, Nigeria. but I don't know which continent to migrate to.

as the antelope run to survive.
The lion, the tiger, and the hyena
when the target shields the forest.
So, Abba won not on the battle field.
but he won through the series of
hierarchy of corruption.

Coming far from like,
My aureate white
blooming and lit glow
like a flower spike.
panting slowly,
brilliant tiger in the night.
wearing a blown pajamas
as in the midnight desert.
Scenting high and low
Her eye blinks beautifully.
Her red lips twisted sweetly.
Her tongue rhymes innerly.
She is saying something whispery.

NIGERIA

The heredity of corruption is hierarchy.

Many things worry me about the country in which I was born. Many people have become increasingly corrupt. There is no trust between people. I mean, only money can buy everything, but there is no dignity between people.

I swear, I love you.
Hey girl, what is it?
Your head nodded, feeling classy.
And I believed that,
there is nothing wrong
with telling the truth.
I love you to the core.
Your love goes beyond that.
If I remember that no sad
Have faith in me; you're in there too.
I am finding peace and happiness there.
So, say that you give me
your trust

Bring me to the closure.
I will take it to the endure.
to the last of that tenure
I will not decay like manure.
for the reason that no procure
I will bow down to lure
for sincerity and impure.
They will not give me failure.
to mix my clothes with soilure.
Let my life grow, not to immure.
because I will be good for sure
When I meet the mature
It will feel so, with some pleasure.

Manda, a cattle salt
In Hausa land, there is salt.
And Hausa salt is a Manda
before the age of ionized salt
Manda is used for cooking.
and is being used as medicine.
for people and cattle
It is red, red, red, like a stone.
The tongue is not enough to taste.
because the taste of the salt is too much.
but it is also very useful.
for people and animals.
