RELATIONSHIP – ONE NAIJA
We will all find love someday  
We never know which way
Our heart will want what it wants much to our surprise
It will become Captivated, infatuated, seeing only love in each other’s eyes

We will thank the day we found this love
A perfect gift from above
Packaged in imperfect perfection
…it will seem
Our hearts racing
 …for each day would be a dream

Sometimes we would wonder If it is too good to be true
Too scared to be heart broken, scared of facing the truth
So we tell each other, I never want to lose you
I choose you above all,
I cannot spend a day without you

Hand in hand we would run to tell the world
The day has finally come
We have found the perfect love

Until those who love us, tell us that we cannot be one
For though we may be perfect,
He is igbo and I must go

Who is to tell us when we are one?
Is it you? Is it us? Or our ancestors dead and gone?
Why should I be punished for a crime I never committed?
Continuing this tribal war which says our love is not permitted

This love is no weapon of war
The battle you fight can never be won
So tell me your story and I’ll tell you mine too
Show me your history one page at a time

Tell me, please tell me
When are we one Nigeria?


FOOTBALL – ONE NAIJA

Nothing binds us more than
…Football
Such beautiful game,
Bringing us together
Like a melting pot of flavours

It whets our passion
Sends our hearts racing
Roaring at the top of our voices

Each goal a celebration
We pledge to our nation
A win is for our people
Defending her unity
A peaceful community
Upholding her honour
We are one Nigeria

Nothing divides us more than
...Football
Such competitive game
Ripping us apart
Like families in time of war

It ignites our anger
Sends our hearts racing
Defending our people

Each miss becomes a chance
To shoot down our neighbors
Our tongues, a weapon
Our tribes, an armor
We’ve become a nation pretending in unison
Switching identities

From Igbo to Yoruba
Hausa to Igala
Ijaw to Efik
Fulani to Urhobo
We are 300 different people,
Trapped in boxes of ethnicity
Forgetting what unites us
The blood which flows through us
Because one of them has failed us

Nothing reunites us more than
…Football
He who was cast down
Has now made us proud
So we come together again
Chanting songs of victory
He is one of us
We are proud to be Nigerian
No matter the regalia
Until another fails us.

When are we one Nigeria?
