Coming through the windows Our bedside lamp in bow In welcome of your brightness With Hope, peace, and happiness Oh! You unveil A new beginning with love Carried by your light like dove A beginning full of hope Mother’s knees bent in devotion Counting beads as in meditation At the ancestral shrine Father pours libation Breaking kola nut as in occasion All in welcome of you
Ewoo…! Ewoo..!! Seven piece from one kola This is an Omen…. Father in great awe Mother seems far away Both in conflicting hope Your light shine for us to cope You shine with promise For us to work and not miss. Fellow; lets embrace this light And walk our paths with strength In oneness to love In unity to wit
Kola nut is a very important nut used in most occasions in my African. We also use kola nut to welcome our visitors. It has different names in our diverse language and culture, but serves the same purpose. We call it 'Oji' in Ezi my lovely town.
