A list of Nigerian memories

The stainless steel plate making clang when we tried steal a little protein
Akpi called it derearang when I take a step in what they bought me

Only pros score with Felele ball
Monkey post? Eat a Health Ball shot
Cyril Stober, news at 9 o’clock
NTA vs. Cartoon Network

African Independent Television
Wale Adenuga Production
Papa Ajasco and Company
Fuji House, even more funny
Super Story for the family
Toyin Tomato, King of Boys indeed

Diego Paloma is Cuando Seas Mia
And one Water cane touch your back with the fear
Clean the Lantern, put the candle on metal
Ugo C. Ugo, that’s one book that went viral

Add Quantitative Reasoning
Also add Verbal Reasoning
Don’t forget JAMB lesson
Sunday Rice and sleeping

Party Jollof, and sleeping in church
Sega and it’s Gun,
Nintendo 64
Police and Thief, or those rubber rings

Mama and Papa, that dangerous game
Except when it’s kids playing with sand or the rain
In my school, the driver was Father Christmas
Still lined up for some pictures
Western rubbish
Hold on lemme finish

Sandals or Curtina
Kito, and bags of leather
Oversize clothes, cause we got those
From OK or an elder

Five naira 20naira Biscuits
Tell the Aboki, I want stick sweet
We couldn’t finish Okpa 20 naira
35cl Fanta was 25 naira
And when they released 60cl
Fido had to fight with Mountain Dew

V-boots versus the great Peugeots
BMWs and Audi hums
Datsuns before the Volvo roars
Can you pronounce ‘Volkswagen’, boy?

Tina Mba and Everyday People
Gimme Osuofia, Adieu Mr. Ibu
Stella Damasus and Regina Askia
Saint Obi must be proud of Odumodu

Watching Masquerade with my Goody Goody
Don’t get me started on anything Disney
Nowadays no local or agric
All the fowls simply taste expensive
Pussycat Pussycat, where are you going?

Small circle Small circle, Big Circle…
6×6, 6×6, 36
Which of you knows your Times Tables
Where you flogged on Assembly Ground

Nigeria is 64 now
The culture is G and purrr now
Arise oh Compatriots
Even that one is gone now
