Adorationem sui

In adoration of the king,

In awe of your wonderful splendor

The emperor of his territories

The author of scrolls untold

The kingmaker

King, purple is your linen

Royalty, blue is your heart

Priest, white is your girdle

Supernatural, golden is thy mind

Eagle, vision from afar

Lion, grin of courage

Dove, smile of peace

Swan, love for all

The king of the flight

I am the best

I am the greatest

I am a god

I am a king

The lover of my Queen

The keeper of the city gate

The sower of the wine press and fruitful vine

The father of my seeds

The king of Eden territory

The emerald of excellence

The Jasper of chokmah

The Diamond of Wealth

The crystal of God’s mind

The king of thought

The abundance of word

The mutterings of God’s wisdom

The emblem of God’s Kingdom

The light of his domain

My Queen is beauty in the mind and head

My Heir is the fruit of my hand

My friends are suit for my body

My crown is Ecstatic splendor

Understanding beyond standing

Learning better than leaning

Acting greater than ranting

Thought higher than philandering

So is the king

I am Rehoboth factor

I am Ekklesia

I am the Eagle

I am King…

I SEE

Come and see the glory of Africa,

The realm of joy, the reign of black gold,

The chariot of honour,

The parade of diversity,

The paragon of splendor,

My country.

The fight for survival,

The strength of the common man,

The power of numbers,

The richness of cultural heritage,

My people.

The smile deeper than agony,

The sweat of hardwork,

The pleasure of the ages,

The religion faithful,

My Shelter.

Strong, beautiful tent of mahogany

See her tiptoeing into greatness white,

See her catwalk into royal purple,

See her breastfeed her child in love blue,

See her farm land harvest green.

See, across the Nile she stands out

Like the Iroko shades of an Arugba in the grove of the goddess Osun.

My country! oh my country!!

The true beauty of Africa,

The roaring aquatic splendor of the Atlantic.

The tale of Queen Sheba; Oloye Bilikisu of Ijebu

The bravery of Queen Amina of Zarie

The wisdom of Moremi of Ile-Ife

The bleeding and loving heart of motherhood.

Peace of kolanut from the Ibos,

Parading Durbar of the Hausas,

Tranquility of Olojo from the Yorubas,

Nigeria!!!

I see Nigeria leap frog,

I see Nigeria eagle soar,

I see Nigeria kingship coronation,

I see great Nigeria.

I see laundering laundered into integrity,

I see greed ground into empathy

I see illiterates refined into intellectual responsible,

I see great Nigeria.

Abundance in the gaff of former beggars,

Equity and justice in the corrupt court rooms,

Honesty by bribe thirsty law enforcement agents,

I see the old shout on the hills in ecstasy,

I see the young lead in her palaces,

The charavans from Europe, Asia, and around Africa land at MMA1 in awesome of our transformation.

Sanity on the street of Lagos I see,

Love in the forest of Sambisa I see,

Equality on the Niger bridge I see,

Do you see? I see

Speed of Light rail from Kano to Tincan Island,

Uninterrupted power from Apomu to Gauro,

Royal ride flight from Dakkada city to Newyork city on Nigerian Falcon,

Food basket of Africa I see.

Diligent hands at work in public service,

Extravagant wealth creation in the private sphere,

Meticulous fist clean the public space,

Creative brains building tech innovation,

This is my prayer that one day I see all I see with my eyes.
