Nkea na amamu ahu jijijiji,
Ikedo mu na nmazi uzo di
n'okpulu ugbo mmili anyim,
...

PROMISE not pounded yam when you can't
pound pounded yam; worst, under oath,
when you can, but compromise instead to pound cocoyam.
...

Yesterday I passed away
Yes, I did while crossing the sea
You saw my setting sun
As a sinking sinker
...

Ụnyahụ ka m nwụrụ
Ee, obu mgbe m na-agafe oke osimiri
Ị hụrụ anyanwụ m dara ada
Dị ka ngba ama eriri ukpoo azu na-emikpu
...

Children in daredevil escapade,
With untamed spirit, they break away.
Unfettered by rules, they seek their own way,
Unaware of dangers that may come their way.
...

Whatever hit,
And sent, you,
Home or wherever
As a hangry hawk,
...

People think that people forget, that wounds heal fast,
Yes, but no; people seem to,
But prefer to move on
And away 'till a time
...

You must have rounded off, wherever you are
in that distant land, serene land distinct
from lands beyond many seas.
...

They really can't be collected,
That collected the commonwealth,
Just to plunder and launder.
...

Ask and receive,
So much asked, and received,
Join and thank Him.
...

From heart nearly not infinite
Through merely smart Infinix
Appreciation to all and him
From him for him on him
...

Time is money, a precious gem.
Slipping away, like sand in an hourglass whim.
Thirteen thousand two hundred, a meager gain.
A balance sheet, with expenses in vain.
...

Wherever you went...

Obodo oyibo?
Obodo afudebe?
...

Uche bụ akpa.
Okwelu kwelu ekwe
Ofu ọnụ madu
Bụkwa ọnụ mmụọ
...

Fare thee well, dear leader.
As bell, your name rang, ;
Resounding positive and joyous jingles.
As band, a booming boost.
...

In costly climes, they masquerade with ease,
Wreaking havoc, leaving woes to seize.

Their tattered masks, like worn-out mats,
...

Yesterday, I slipped beneath the waves,
While crossing the sea, my career life's last stage.
You saw my setting sun, a sinking sight,
A fleeting moment, lost in the silent night.
...

Beaten blind by unseen forces,
The blind, like bats, grope for solace.
A fountain beckons by a mountain cliff,
Where steel-like waters threaten to engulf.
...

In the realm of the unseen seer,
A paradox unfolds: moving, yet still.
Like the sacred stream, flowing free,
Beyond the boundaries of human sight.
...

When death's hawk spread its wings to fly
Your journey ended, in a swift goodbye

A hawk's swift talons, a hammer's blow
...
