DUET ' WELCOME TO NIGERIA '

ZENITH:

Welcome to Nigeria

you're eating from one pot,

you're still a boy

but if you have pots outside marriage you are a man.

You steal small money, you're a thief,

if you carry big money you are smart.

If you steal from one person, it's called plagiarism,

you still from many people, it's called research work.

If you give birth to a kid you're weak,

if you give birth to twins you are strong.

AJAKAYE:

Kiss the brown gates of Nigeria,

running home from the uninvited friend in the sky,

you catch the swinging legs of a neighbor with few clothings,

yet your wares are wet on Iya Iroko's rope.

Neighbor in the dimples of Salah's meat.

A zion for the rich,

a hell for the later,

no government fishing a change

after the mightiness of the green river.

I never said a word

but you gossip the success of Linda

without knowing she fed on sunny nights

once upon a time.

A tall tree who sees other greenries

but refuses to know their taste,

a pride suited for a fall.

Where did she go,

to import the match stick of Expensivetown.
