  • These Tall Guys

    These Tall Guys

    Here they come again
    Walking up and down the street
    The guy in the middle
    Here he comes
    Showing off the six pack

    The one in the middle
    He’s the tallest of them all
    Ummm, I like him
    He’s got Gorgeous eyes
    And a stunning smile
    And he walks like a boss
    I really do like him
    Well, I’m just a pretty girl
    who lives next door
    But I’m single
    Not sure I’m ready to mingle

    These tall guys have got
    Longer legs than mine
    But I’m pretty tall though
    I’m 6’1
    But every tall girl needs a tall guy
    Oh! Here they come again
    Look, it’s the guy that walks
    In the middle

    Here he comes
    Towards my direction
    I think he likes me
    I’m such lucky girl
    Can’t believe he’s here

    But wait, he’s moving on
    He isn’t stopping at my door
    My chest!
    Hold me neighbours
    I’m catching cold
    Oh! He’s going to see Amaka
    The new girl who just moved in

    Ha Ha Ha
    I laugh in a British accent
    Amaka will disappoint him

  • The visit of the Three wise men 

    The visit of the Three wise men 

    It was winter 

    And I sat with my lighter

    In the inner room

    I had a boom

    Was scared to take a look

    Like I was hooked

    I couldn’t move

    But i became bold

    And took a step

    To take a look
    Through the window

    I peeped, seeing strangers

    I took another bold step

    And I rushed out

    It was the three wise men
    They came all the way

    With all the hales

    Through the skales to visit 

    They brought goodnews

    About the kingdom 

    And to remind the world

    About the coming of Christ

    They told me to

    Pass the message;

    CHRIST IS COMING SOON

  • Is love for real? 

    Is love for real? 



    I’ve been heartbroken

    I’ve been decieved

    I use to bleed love

    So many times

    I’ve loved, but I’ve been hurt

    The seeds of love stopped 

    Growing in me a long time ago

    There’s no open door for love

    I’ve shut it all a long time ago

    I tried to make it all work

    You know i tried

    You all know i tried 

    To make it all work

    But it always ends up

    Bouncing back on me

    My heart always broken 



    ………………………………………….

                  

    And now you came back 

    Saying you’re sorry?

    We were best lovers in town

    And then you ruined it

    You left for no reason

    And you’re saying

    You’re sorry?

    So many times

    I’ve loved, but I’ve been hurt 

    Sometimes I find it hard

    To forgive myself for loving you 

    And then you came back 

    Saying you’re sorry?

    You made our haters laugh

    And you say you’re sorry?

    Hell no!

    You left me for my best friend 

    Now you say

    You still love me?

    Honey, i don’t think you know What love means.



    ………………………………………..


    This cute white guy came by

    Looking quite different 

    From the rest

    He told me same love story

    The rest once told me

    I gave him a chance

    But never took him seriously

    Months went by

    I noticed he was really different 

    From the rest of them

    He’s the best guy I’ve ever met

    It’s two years already 

    And we’re still pushing it

    Well, I think I’m at end 

    Of the dating game

    Just the other night after church

    He got down on one kneel

    And I said YES! 

    Really, I never really

    knew it was for real

    It was like a dream

    So I ask again

    Is love for real? 












  • Nigeria at 56: Begin this day with a change

    Nigeria at 56: Begin this day with a change

    I hear my people cry

    I see my people suffer

    I hear them say they’ve given up on our country

    I see the children crying

    I see people dying of hunger

    I see corruption everywhere

    Corruption has taking over

    Corruption in high places.

    Oh my country

    Nigeria will be great again

    These things shall pass

    It may take time

    But definitely, Nigeria will be great again

    I pray this day begins with a change

    A change that will turn things around for good

    A change that will last forever

    A change that will be forever remembered

    Changing Nigeria begins with a prayer

    And a change starts with you

    Happy independence day my country
