WICKED BRIDE

 

Nigeria, My love!

Why are you so cruel?

You said you loved me (democracy)

Before my eyes you married dictators

You! Unqualified traitor

Cheat, lie and gossip remorselessly

Forgetting your troubles linger

O! My sweet Nigeria

You claim to have loved me

In my front, you preach decency

In my back, you drink and smoke brutality

At the door, you knock in peace

At departure, you leave in disdain

Could you please tell me?

Tell me, Nigeria!!!

Why are you heartless?

Your children are hungry

Before your neighbours, you brag of wealth

Your brothers are in need helplessly

You go abroad to show off,

In dollars and other foreign currencies, you donate

shamelessly, you wash your dirty linen in the public
