Title: Tears of Laughter

Buah Dansabe Kuni
Every Octo-first, with the heart inside us burning,
We laugh, though, with our conscience mourning.

Nwude Princess Ifeoma:
The Giant at Fifty-seven!
Where on earth is your Haven?

Adekunle David:
Nigeria
In You flow the tears of the patriots,
Our fears and cries are your introits.

Owolabi Damilare:
Nigeria: our green is gone,
And our prided white is torn.

Adeyemo E. Oluwatosin:
The truth we pose to hate today;

lie we will paint as fate someday.

Ruthie:
Now, all hail the giant of Africa!
Oh dearest Goliath, behold your replica.

Akinfenwa Olaitan:
Failures compiled, Nigeria wobbles, helplessly.
Fatally crippled, she stands, Independently.

Popoola Faith Oluwabusayomi:
Freedom we say,
Not to doom or destruction,
But for the future to fusion,
For our lost harmony to gain.

Ogunlusi Ifefikayomi Oreoluwa:
Nigeria, thou art a great and blessed country among nations,​
Nigeria, thou art full of visionary leaders and enthusiastic creations.​

Ovbokhan Okuonghae:
Nigeria; the depraved of the brave
Nigeria; ace in prevarication graves.

Jacob Timothy. O:
Nigeria! Land of meek and Onions
Onion leader, meek followers.

Adeife Victor:
Nigeria; the gold that rushed out of the quarry.
Nigeria; the dwarf that declined growing fat with merry.

Owoeye Rebecca Odunayo:
Nigeria a land where positions are struggled to attain
One country, with various tribes contain.


Olawoye Boluwatife E.:
Nigeria; a domain where suffering masses enjoy crumb
Nigeria; leaders in affluence aware plays dumb

Opaaje Alexander Damilola:
This promise land of many decades
Let's call the saints' interventions for our aids

Adebobuyi philip (Philipology):
Nigeria; No! Dusk's bells toll...
Will we gauge those falling pillars
Wouldn't we bite our sandy fingers...?

Akinremi Damola:
Our leaders must realize that the law for self-enrichment is not the key,
But everyone's enrichment is what should be the Will.
