The time to wail has always been here Every day we suffer the consequences owned by the heirs Not for once have they worn our shoes They have refused to please our clues Yet they devise new means of sitting on the throne Without giving in to our daily moan. Hypocrites Meetings upon meetings Agbada upon dansiki Designer upon latest trends Convoy upon macho guards Yet they proclaim it’s all vanity. Hypocrites! In the end of the fashion rally at the house, Worthless Nothing of importance is established But the cake is diminished And then they blame it on poor rats. Hypocrites! Blame them and no one else! Because it’s their selfish interest they fight for and not us. From the doom by boko haram To the slaughter by herdsmen. Hypocrites! Don’t we see it! The people get to die But they live to see their greatest grandchildren While their billion dollar ready made coffins rot in the backyard. Hypocrites! God is the ultimate judge Only God can make the evil one right in his sight.

NIGERIA’S BIGGEST CULT
The time to wail has always been here Every day we suffer the consequences owned by the heirs Not for once have they worn our shoes They have refused to please our clues Yet they devise new means of sitting on the throne Without giving in to our daily moan. Hypocrites Meetings upon meetings Agbada upon dansiki Designer upon latest trends Convoy upon macho guards Yet they proclaim it’s all vanity. Hypocrites! In the end of the fashion rally at the house, Worthless Nothing of importance is established But the cake is diminished And then they blame it on poor rats. Hypocrites! Blame them and no one else! Because it’s their selfish interest they fight for and not us. From the doom by boko haram To the slaughter by herdsmen. Hypocrites! Don’t we see it! The people get to die But they live to see their greatest grandchildren While their billion dollar ready made coffins rot in the backyard. Hypocrites! God is the ultimate judge Only God can make the evil one right in his sight.
