Who I am

by

nicholas ayoola oladehin

I was made in Britain

Born and bred

But lived my life through

Waving my green and white flag

Ace-ing my pace

Through thick and thin

I swam with the sharks and feasted with the eagles

And I marked my boundary

Where I alone was king

I’ve felt the bee sting

And the mosquitoes awful song

And I’ve dined and wined with my grandma

From the black clay pot

Am addicted to Africa

Home: Motherland

I’ve travelled through the forest

And swam through the sea

I’ve maintained my position

In the midst of great men

                Am glad am black: am a born Naija
