hello people.
Enjoy the inside look and feel on many happenings in Nigeria.
quite funny. word-plays. truth.
thanks and enjoy the read!



Naija-Inside Part 1

At least Moses followers knew their destination
Naija my country people, abeg where we dey go for this nation.
Inflation on all goods, even plantain chip no cheap
Corruption is the new cool; policeman won’t let you be without getting a tip.
We are told to keep the hope alive? Lol when it’s already dead and cremated
Morale so down now, you’ll need more than a crane to elevate it.

Sharp minds, everybody dey calculate like casio
73years old, he no wan retire. Papa don turn to Mario.
Everyday na Ramadan in a poor man’s home
The rich must continue getting richer or he also gets screwed.
Man must wack, man must chop
Right now chop things don dey scarce, good news we ain’t cannibals.

Truth be said, this country is a joke, and I’m not even joking
See people claiming rights, bending laws like a state without no king.
Bad roads, slow trains, PHCN sef no dey try
With planes crash landing often now, I wonder if there are potholes in the sky

No good Samaritan anymore, bro you gotta help yourself
Piles of bills, lots of debts, who you wanna beg for help?
Now we ignore the needy, some will even rob the poor
Armed robbers and fraudsters, we in the era of crime galore
Police collecting bribe, touts with fake parking tickets
Omo onile and agbero now a proud profession
Emergency call, responding hours later only to arrest the innocents
Because they never find the criminals, sometimes I wonder if they are even well trained.

Sade, still claiming babe at 35years. Oh! Sorry. 34 and 8months right?
Changing and replacing men like flat tires both day and night.
Kola has 3 children, each with different mothers, yet he’s married to none
Everyday na bubble. Large entropy. Bro, u better settle down.
…and my guy on the keyboard, Mr. smart guy wey no dey dull
U better achieve something now or eventually achieve nothing at all.

To Be Cont'D...

Part II


Make your Life…Time worthy
Because Time waits for nobody, even if you are a nobody
U gotta own your own. Friends will come and go and you’ll be left…with no buddies.
Plus…Time is money too
But it’s funny that the world’s richest man isn’t rich enough to buy it.

So choose to work smart over working hard
Imagine a civil servant, also a barber and runs a gaming center
Well as the Yoruba will say, ona kan o’woja. Meaning: there’s no one way to the market.
So you gotta stay sharp, carve your niche and mark it
Because in the end, all we trying to do is to make ends meet, but they realy seem parallel.

The boys are tired of the class so opt for street school
Girls get deceived as they conceive to the womb
And when these begin to happen, tell me who is to blame?
The parents? The teacher? Or the child? Well I say the three of them
Apparently, no one wants the slightest share of the fault
Buh if na national cake, they all want the whole lot.
Since I saw a real smile, omo mehn e don tey
See people cursing themselves like it’s a must say
Red eyes, para mode, strong faces everywhere
If you see some people hussle, oh boy you go fear
No kidding, even the patient one has turned fierce
Try visit the real patients in d clinic, your eyes be filled with tears.

I think the problem with the people is they try to avoid the problem
And that is the real problem.
We neglect the main issues and expect a miracle to happen
Do not get me wrong, I do believe in miracles but…
You don’t just sit around, do nothing and be waiting for miracles.
We need to drive this nation forward with lots of will, zeal and passion
Unfortunately, all we do is stay idle, complain and take no action
When the leaders won’t lead right, and the masses deeds are not right either
If we don’t deal with this now, I’m afraid our problems will only get bigger.


True. We all got issues, busy dealing with one problem or the other
Question is; are we strong enough to push and strive further?
For how long can our strength hold us?
How far can our faith take us?
Rhetorical questions yea? But still…they deserve answers.
These…have been on for long now, can we go a day more? Or an hour or a minute or perhaps maybe a second,
Do we continue like this? Until our last days? Or till the angel of death starts to beckon?
Okay…enough said. I leave y’all with these questions.
Goodbye.
