A Nephew's Elegy to a Dearest Uncle and Friend Captain wake up! Thy Ship is Sinking By David Gambo(Daddy Coach) Captain wake up! Thy Ship is Sinking Beside your sick bed I beckoned on you to take responsibility Divinely or self imposed The cap fits you, Captain! Captain wake up! Thy Ship is Sinking The philanthropist! The sailor of thousands Your ship of many colours Black, White, Brown, Yellow Tall, Short, Ugly, Beautiful, Handsome Educated, Illiterate, Religious, Atheist All in your ship You can't let them down Wake up Captain! Captain wake up! Thy Ship is Sinking Bright is crying Bulus is crying Aunty Zee is crying You promised to take them to the Western Hemisphere Summer is ending Captain! Captain wake up! Thy Ship is Sinking Rgoyi is crying Coach is crying Daf is crying We promised to replenish cars for you The garage is still empty Courtesy of ours in part This is not our destination This was not our contract We can sue you for abandoning the future you ventured into The deal is not over Captain! Captain wake up! Thy Ship is Sinking Da’ady (Chairman) is crying Go'go is crying Ma’a Yanuwi is crying Ma’a Bali is crying Sam (DDS): a departure well accepted Captain (BDS): a departure yet too soon 11-4, one by one they will all answer the call But the Danfulanis have answered enough for now Even Captain? Captain wake up! Thy Ship is Sinking You promised to take Monica to her matrimonial home Nashion is waiting for you to fuel the generator and his stomach Talanbulu has swept the compound and is waiting for hanu kasa Habu and his family are still squatting in your house Your ship that does not discriminate Wake up Captain! Captain wake up! Thy Ship is Sinking The game has just began 4-4 back to back Up Man U! Watching the Red Devils without you is like celebrating life in a graveyard Wake up Captain! Captain wake up! Thy Ship is Sinking The family is in disarray Today's MVPs are laughing Things fall apart The centre cannot hold Captain: the Okonkwo of our time Captain wake up! Thy Ship is Sinking Your farm is green The maize are pregnant with triplets The harvest awaited the harvester Though you lie under the land you used to plough Thy team is still ploughing, Captain! Captain wake up! Thy Ship is Sinking Like an Eagle, you soared the hearts of many Like a Dove, you loved all Like a Lion, you fought for the Danfulani’s kingdom Like a Physician, you diagnosed and proffered solution to every problem around you Like an Engineer, you built bridges across ethnic, religious, and ideological standpoints Like a Pastor, you preached selflessness and vanity of life Like a Lawyer, you you stood for truth and nothing but the truth against all odds Like a soldier, you died defending the dignity of your brother (DDS) and the Suntai family Like Jesus Christ, you died to purchase our freedom from powers of this world, rulers in the kingdom of darkness Sleep well Captain! Unlike the Titanic The tip of the Iceberg cannot lead us astray Your Ship will never sink We promise to sail to the promised land Sleep on, the Moses of our time The Egyptians you saw we shall see no more You have parted the Red Sea We now have a Joshua in Da’adi Sleep well! Sleep on! Hon. Babangida D. Suntai Your Ship is Still Sailing
