Being a Nigerian
Is about your character and culture
Government & Parastatals might be of foreign influence
Being a Nigerian is not White & Green
Being a Nigerian is more than patriotism
Being a Nigerian means reason
You may stand alone in the face of adversity
Remember the world was once said to be flat
419 is a stereotype undermining our sincere intellect and good
Being Nigerian means being accommodating and tolerant
This is the spirit that drives our global success
Being a Nigerian is not about petroleum
Being a Nigerian is about you and me contributing towards a better Nigeria.
(A poem about my character titled “Your feelings”)
Your feelings
The truth about me is you
Love you like you me
Nothing more nothing less
Slave be me you
King as well
The truth about me is you
Life is you and me
Mummy and daddy
Speak and listen and I as well
Speak not and listen not and I as well
It is to be done as you do unto me
