Today we celebrate a man
He has being called so many fine names
He is the hero of their democracy
He was so articulate
Were we told the truth
Was this man really the hero
I remember I was in JSS 2 in Nigeria navy secondary school ibara Abeokuta
We were given fresh bread with egg that morning
The gingles was on
I tire for this life oh na so so poverty
I tire for this world na so so suffering
MKO is our man oh
SDP
And we all laughed
We were happy
I grew up seeing this as true
Lagos Ibadan media did a good job
I later grew up
Started reading up
This man has a song from Fela of blessed memory
ITT international thief thief
He stole our past
He stole our present
He also stole our future
Truly there is no freedom for a happy slave
A former coup plotter
A serial looter
He steals
Finds a face he likes
Like baba ijebu
He makes that one happy
Today we celebrate a thief
Today the spirit of materialism is exalted high in all the offices of Nigeria
Who do us these things.
Who swear for us
Yet many are happy
The more things change
The more they remain the same

Cool
