Mourn!!! Africa, Nigeria is dead indeed
Soyinka said it by using the term "clinical"
He said so in his elegy to the dead
This term he used was ironical.
I have asked him to prove me wrong
But he cynically refused to do so
He had been a guru for so long
A man like him is a cultivated hero.
Nigeria has been very sick in downhill
Retardation and excesses have destroyed her in jungle
Heaven is passing judgment for her to end in hell
Nigerians are now corpses in eyes of people.
Soyinka wrote poem to Achebe, his friend
He said it there that Nigeria is dead.
