I know a school
Where students are more than numbers
They don't like to read,
Always bribing to pass.

Goodluck Jonathan -by Okoemu
The man we trusted failed us,
He came like a humble fool,
...
She carries the sack
Guided it jealously
Walking the busy
All eyes on her,
...
To be one indivisible entity,
To be one and then another's,
I will feel your pains
And you will feel mine,
...
(For Nigerians)
Even when tears stream down like rain drizling,
Even when hell is earth
Even when hands and legs are in chains,
...
In loneliness sits,
Looking to afar,
With mind burning
Like wide fire
...
The warrior I once knew
Who fought with sweat and blood
Not for himself,
But in defence of his people
...
Different faces
The same mind.
Upon the mountain all have been to fetch the sweet milk for the lame
None, not even one has ever gone there and thinks of the lame!
...
Just one day,
Every breathing hearts
Will breath their final
Just one day
...
Oh most beautiful daughter of gracious mother Esan,
Groomed in honour of womanhood
Brightest star of the galaxy,
Dream of all her opposite
...
