Who We Be

Happy Independence Day, Nigeria!
So many tribes, ethnicity, dialects yet, so much love!

In the voice of B’ Haram victims

We don’t die we multiply
Right beyond the grave we stir up a rip-roaring legacy.
Death has been reassigned;
Decay clobbers the camp of the adversary.
We’ve acquired the laurels of our sacrifice
The feat is fused into the framework of history.

We don’t die.
We was planted and we thrived.
The fluid thru our veins is green
And our voices erupt still in the street.

We heard the critical retort;
The ratata of a lethal report
Declared you have been uninstalled.
Cause you didn’t belong in the tribe.

But we don’t die.
We just flow true like that great rushing river
In which over 300 tribes wash and pass the time.

We don’t die. We’re Nigeria.
