Dear mother,
I hope you are reading this letter,
I hope it met you in joy,
I would I have tell these,
But I was too coy.

For all the time that you
Made me feel strong,
Even I when angrily broke your
Favourite mug.

Mother,
Many things you faced
Because of me,
So that in the aftermath
I shall be free.

Mother I remember,
Usually during December,
Making efforts to get me the best,
Mama would never rest.

Dear mother,
You seems to always protect my interest,
Interest around father,
We all wanted the best.

You once asked me
To be a good lad,
And not to keep company with
Boys you told were bad!
Mother will never starve me.

Do you remember when you lock
Me indoors?
Compelling me to have no flaws.

Mother would cover me during thunderstorm,
Kissing me and seal my sleep,
Covering my legs against every storm.

Thank you for piloting me,
To life and to a good life,
Mama pray I have good wife,
Not neglecting things you gave thought me

My country Nigeria,
Am a citizen by birth,
That’s the Criteria,
A blessed nation on the earth,
Driven by atrocities as bacteria,
A place I was proud to call home,
Am a negros and Nigeria is my home,
But she’s going down the pan,
Causing mortality in my clan.
Due to manifestos,
We commercialize with hoes.

It started with our independence,
We thought love would take
Prominence,
But rather war, corruption and coups,
And Tribalism feed on us


My plea goes to the world power,
Our corruption is taller than any tower,
Our leader convince us that colonization
Was necessary,
Seems we we have cross that boundary.

Please colonize us again,
Because decolonization has no gain,
Remove all these leaders,
The made us cry aloud to mothers.

I admit we weren’t ripe,
We just wanted to be free,
Like the smoke from papa’s pipe,
Please colonize us! At least
Of these situations we shall be free!

Queen sheba  will rise,
Seeking you with pearls and Diamond,
Just like the wisdom  of Solomon.
Your beauty is the greatest phenomenon
That have ever cross the Horizons.

The beauty that blind can see,
This beauty can set free,
It makes that passer-by(sun) to
Stop.
It makes the fastest runner cease (wind)

Kings of the world lust after it,
The Princes want to have it,
The Queens of the world jealous it,
The princess of the world  envy it.

Beauty that boycott the law of gravity {old age}
The antidote for wrinkles,
An island for dimples.

Pretty Woman takes an effort
Pleading woman makes no error
Please woman don’t cause terror
Just make a dull sun bright

Ride in a red light to make it right
Hide out from a corner without light
Slide up the ladder without danger
Pretty woman sees light in a tunnel
She seeks a fine line to make it fine

Pretty woman, tell bitter  Betty to buy better butter
Pretty woman,tell no gray gay guy to sell a gun.
Look  at the moon and shoot, find the broom and the  book he took!
Light Fight in a pretty bright night without fright
will make a dull sun bright!

You are a star but not a scar
A hero not a zero
pretty woman takes no bribe
Ride with a  bride without pride.
Rise up woman and shine woman!
Try and fly high up ,
the sky is the limit.
Bloom like a rose Woman!
Power of a flower in a lime light
Higher,not lower
Just Make a dull sun bright.
poem dedicated to my amigos...ladies of Club 70,Eita!
