Pains - suffering - hatred - blood - death.
Are all the rights we enjoy in my country,
Are all the dividence of our democracy
Pains - suffering - hatred - intolerance - blood and death
Yet our government are relaxed
Everything is fine,
Soon river Benue will dry, and be refilled with blood
River Niger will dry up and refilled with blood
Our blood
Your blood
Nothing is happening in Nigeria except that
People are killed in Benue
There is no war in Nigeria
Just that, people are killed in Jos
Nigeria is peaceful
Only that, there is state of emergency in Bornu
Nigeria is at peace
Only that, cow are living in safety
The people are slaughtered everyday
And government is quite.
-the Patriot, Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu
