He would ask with rage of fire in his mouth
Who is Okoro?
If you asked Amadioha to go save Igbos in Kano
He would ask if it’s a quarters in Nnewi
If you called on the soul of Usman Dan-Fodio
To help the Hausa-Fulanis living in Lagos
He would say ‘that is a nation too far from Sokoto’
Thank goodness for Lugard
Who has brought us close as a family
Nigerians……let us live in unity and not unionism
Bí a bá bẹ Ṣàngó kí ó súre fún Okoro
Yóò bèrè pẹlú iná lẹnu

Bí a bá bẹ ‘Amadíọà’
Kí o lọ gba àwọn ọmọ Ìgbò ni ìlúu Kánò
Yóò bèrè bóyá agbolé ni ní ìlúu ‘Nnewi’
Bí a bá períi ẹlẹdáa Ùsmánù Dan-Fódíò

I like this – highly motivating, challenging and indigenous. I see a better Niyi Osundare and Femi Osofisan. Kukogho, keep it up!
Thank you
