No students’ crisis been
And April might have passed
Without Black Friday …………..

Perhaps May might not have
Visited a flood on the
“Broken Chinas” of Ibadan
Perhaps…….Perhaps…….Perhaps!

Hail “uneventful” June and July
Welcome respite in mid-tunnel
Cosmic turning-point

I dialled O – I for Lagos in August
Reached out to millions across impassable frontiers
Celebrated the advent of the new code numbers
Hello…….Hello…….Watch that code number!

Hurrah September, implosive with
The yells of Nigeria’s denizens

Still — born baby Jaundiced with
The cargo of Apapa’s ocean liners

Welcome the ban on this, and the ban on that
Welcome the ban on noise
Welcome the peaceful excitement of November
Welcome December
Welcome the leaders who swam to jetsam

Comrades in flotsam, take heart
The year of sashwood has gone
The year of skin-heads is dead.
