NIGERIA by Ada RuChi
Nigeria, oh Naija!!!
The land of unending power cuts
The land where NEPA is more popular than celebrities
The land of bad federal roads
The land of "ajekpako" and "ajebutter"
The land of "lekpa" and "orobo"
The land of flooding in the desert areas
The land where beaches become holy grounds
The land where joy is in the names of food
The land where pidgin is our second language
The land where a man can get rich in three months through music
The land of delicacies and home made drinks
The land where streets are named after rich men
The land we pop water shouting "pop champagne!"
The land where lightening is a novice when ASUU strikes
The land of diverse dances and colouful attires
The land where powder is used to celebrate and kolanut is used to welcome guests
The land where "Aba" means business and "Warri" means money
The land where boys drink Alomo with yoghurt
The land where girls wear fake hips and fake hair and claim that they are "real"
The land where Yoruba boys are called cheats and Igbo boys are called rich
The land of respect for elders
Our lovely, crazy and yet wonderful Naija!!!
I LOVE NIGERIA
