Love's divine Jul 2015
Right there beneath that sheet
You named a whole country
Now the land lies in waste
like the plot you occupy now
The North has this flare
blood blood hell and blood
The West filled with liars
The South now is worse
but East, she is different
always atop of your sea
I love where i come from
A river runs between hills
Round that green forest
The moon keeps us awake
So see we miss you not
Rest in hell
The efik/ibibio people might call her ADIAHA
THE IGBO'S calls her Ada
A true born African
her hips seals lips
for a thousand words are wrapped around her waist... And
Her chest carries a mountain
A canaan of its own
Flowing with MILK AND HONEY
even Israel can't compete
for her mind has won more battles than JOSHUA ever did with a sword..
Her dark skin tell the tales of her originality..
She is the African salad.. Every man wish to taste..
The young ones look up to her while their mother's reminisce
She  feed lord lugard and Nnamdi Azikiwe even before they knew how to spell their names..
She was there when Ojukwu declared war on her sons and her daughters were made barren..
She is the mother of poets and the inventor of poetry...
Stories were like poems in her mouth even before Hollywood could master the art...
Her tongue had painted more pictures in the heart of her children
so Her HISTORY they never forget
