My Lagos Experience

Enugu, Anambra, Delta, Edo, 

Ondo, Ogun this is Lagos 

Eko ni gbaje 

Ejo wrong number ni 

Bole on sight 

Mopol on sagged uniform 

Smelly ojota bridge 

Universal close and Adeniyi Jones 

Ikeja Airport MM2 Terminal 

Cheap bus fare and expensive taxis 

Twale legend 

Sexy filling stations 

Broad high ways 

Stretched out billboards 

New castle hotel and agege motor road 

Give way, BRT buses only 

Billboards on rooftops 

Scary driving on broad lanes 

Pedestrians fly over 

Worn out Mr. Biggs 

Rastafarians on power bikes 

Leisure mall and filmhouse cinemas 

Corper Halima Gana 

Towing van being towed 

Multiple wifi with secured connection 

Mr Price window shopping 

Everyone in a hurry 

No lazy walks 

Nothing is a coincidence 

Clean clean but dirty 

Filling stations rip off  

Corpers everywhere 

Try and stay afloat in your inner tube 

Class options by association 

Land of opportunities 

Dreams feel closer 

Multiple second chances 

Being fearless to be feared 

Pleasure trip of trips 

Elite commuter connection 

Attributes of a standard city 

Aboki taxi drivers 

Crowded city mall 

Coordinated beggars 

Shadows of love 

Excitement and joys 

Carnal appointments 

Kids on big cars 

Adults in small cars 

Vain is fun 

Crowded opinions 

Lagos Nawa 

Perfect condition and illy fate 

Suckers and tubers of illiterates 

Boycott laziness 

Wake up and hustle 

Minds of the greedy 

But not money conscious 

The land that drains 

But the city is generous 

Hall of drugs 

The town is addictive 

Curious George won't survive here 

A baby's day out shouldn't be here 

Swings of the jungle 

With buildings not trees 

Cradle to the grave 

With optimism and grace 

Visions clouded with the bigger 

The rich gets richer 

The poor gets groomed 

The nation is shaking but this city is strong 

The country is dying this city will live 

The scare of Ebola 

The scare of your pocket 

Bustle of might the ends must meet 

Dialects imposed on teeth 

Tongues of fire 

Wheels of chariot 

Minds of deceit 

The city that never sleeps 

In sickness in health the mouth must eat 

Under the sun or rain 

The movement can't cease 

Not a little slumber 

Nor a little closing of eyes 

You snooze you loose
