OGADIMA

Ihe ojoo jo njo

Ihe iske - uwa ojoo

Echiela m onu na-ala.

Atala m aja

Nou ntu dika mmiri.

Ndi mmadu wurum na-ala.

Ahula m uwa - uwa ojoo

Ma chere

Obi m dajuo

N'ihi na Chi nke m na-efe

Ga ebuli m elu

Mee ka onu ochi wa mu

Mee ka onu m sa mbara

Ma mekwa ka mkpi m di elu ozo.

Eh! Ihe ga-agara m nke oma

Abu m onye uwa oma

na atumadi ihe mmekpa ahu

Nke diri m taa.

Agaghim ele anya n'ala

N'ihi na agaghim ala ala.

Aghaghim ile anya n'azu

N'ihi na-abughim onye ikpeazu.

Enwere m olile anya?

Eh Ogadimma.

Ekwere m ekwe?

Eh! Ogadimma.

New elu, nwe ala...

Odighi ihe koro m.

Ka Chukwu Abiama

Mejuputa mu na ngozi;

Echi ga-abu echi oma

Ogadimma

Chere, obi m

Dere du, obi m

Ogadimma.

On the day the surrogate father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be here soon" Half an hour later, just by chance a door- to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. "Good morning, madam. I've come to...." "Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," Mrs. Smith cut in. "Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good. I've made a speciality of babies" "That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat" After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?" "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out!" "Bathtub, living room floo...

And how trying to walk through it becomes slippery A journey asking for crimson libations, full of fractures and ‘Had I knowns’ while you looked over the fence for greener pastures Her sighs spoke of a menu full of thrills but you are served double horrors She, Nigeria, abhors you later on when it relinquishes you of value, Truly, she is an old ‘Whore’ My Father picked it from there, “Nigeria gets hard as rock” Wants of men despised Sullen moods recorded in poems, speeches, and events, snubbed For as long as it makes sultry suplex’s on a comfortable ring – Nigeria is satisfied “Son, Nigeria is you, your mum and I” Guilty to a fault Pained by happenings that come with fire and brimstone Let loose from bellies that should hold patriotis...
