Nigeria, at Crisis O'clock
At last
We go our separate ways
The marriage that never was.
Time was
When we thought our stories were
Different chapters of one book
Has the tribal demon not woken up
Where hypocrisy slumbered?
Book people against the Book,
Thinkers against Thought
At crisis o'clock
At last
We return to the darkest past
To beat tribal drums
In praise of ignorance
The country, never a good book
Where form is wedded to content
Only conceived ironies
At last
We return to the same sad beginning
The Lugard mistake
