A little song I composed for my second home,Nigeria

You called them bitch,
You said your name is dikc,
cheney bush friend who's a witch,
They turned around and and said,
Now is your time to get laid,
Please dont go calling your maid,
I aint your bloody mate,
Today you will be my meat,
Don't care if you cheat,

chorus x2

Bang,Bang,Bang
Guess who now got bleeped
Bang,Bang,Bang

Bang,Bang,Bang,Bang,Bang,Bang

He cried leave me now'o

"Pride comes before a fall"

Haruna Lukeman (the captain of the under-30 ^under-20 Flying Eagles squad),now knows this better than anyone else, compare and contrast his body language in the game against south africa and in the game against Cameroun yesterday.

I cant believe what Lukman is saying, that we played better

He is also saying no big deal in missing penalty,
