We make joy and merry,
We eat and dance,
We sing and shout,
Yet people are hungry and sad
And we do nothing about it.

We pray to God,
God on high,
To bless and favor,
Favor us with gifts,
Gifts of materialism which diminishes the soul
And turn us away from God,
Yet we pray.

We laugh and shout,
Make love and cuddle,
Reproduce and spread,
Yet our brothers and sisters
Die like flies in the north east.

We go to church,
We go to mosque,
We speak against paganism,
Atheism and traditionalism,
Yet we go in the shadows and seek help
From the paganist, atheists and traditionalist.

We listen to these preachers,
Who pose as moral dealers,
Who peddle the drug of religion
And meddle in affairs that concerns them not,
We defend their abysmal acts,
As if their acts are the acts of God,
We allow them cheat and heat our minds
And turn it against reason and logic,
Yet we listen.

We condemn sex,
Yet we redeem ourselves in sex,
We shy away from alcohol,
Yet we sought alcohol,
We speak against immorality,
Immorality is what we bask ourselves in,
We say we don't lie;
Lying seem to be the very nature of our being,
We make laws banning homosexuality,
Yet homosexuality is now a game of hide
And seek we play in shadows.
We slay corruption,
Corruption is now the way of life
Of a particular people living in a particular place.

For this;
All this,
Is the hypocrisy of the typical Nigerian man.
