Ajala

You came, saw and conquered I'll tell your story to the world One of our greatest Ambassador How did you even survive? While putting Nigeria on the world map? This is the story the Ajala, The Globetrotter Life in itself is a journey At one time in our soujourn We have been caught by your bug I'm sorry if you are of the indomie generation We all, at some point have cauht it The Ajalabug, amplied by Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey Mashood Olabisi Ajala Rest well with your ancestors We have not stopped our "Ajala" That makes you larger than life Evergreen in our mind and soul But "Sha", you can pedal for Africa 40 countries, 9 months, 30,000 miles Give it up to a man of the people In your soujourn you met principalities and powers Men and women of timber and iroko Penned great memoirs first hand You browsed different inter-continental softwares And deposited droplets of yourself And insignia of a world citizen Then landed "White Witch Doctor" by Fox All, for the love of Ajala Did you actually meant to end it When you mounted that 80 footed mast? Faraway in God's own country Or was it just a ruse; "a lamber?" Thank God you were deported to England Not to your nation, so rich, so poor That you may continue your escapades And your name linger forever As a man of ink and paper You inspired my generation Hence I wanted to appreciate you specially Your feat, none in this generation has surpassed Lest they gas out before they start out You were even imprisoned In faraway whiteman's land But it never supressed your zest Today and forever, "Ajala still travels all over the world" Wait, aren't we all "Ajala?"
