SONGS OF NAIJA MAN

 

 

1. Spain and its foreign lands, all together

Address you respectfully as Peseta

 

1. France and its former colonies like you like mad

They call you Franc; who doesn't have you, feels sad

 

1. When we talk Rand, we remember South Africa

Ghana with its Cedis, Zambia with her Kwacha

 

1. He will die of hunger that lacks money, mother of fame

And of her who hungers for it, will always wear a coat of shame

 

1. Churches, Mosques and Shrines don't call you Money in their services

Your name, sweetened, to be called "tithes" and "offerings"

 

1. A road not paved with big Money for all weathers Will drive away tourists, friends and travelers

 

1. The road to heaven is even paved, someone claims

 

With Dollars, Pounds and others, called by different names

 

1. After God, if you don't believe me

The next thing in life is King Money!

 

17 Money is magic, and it makes good marriages

It beautifies family bonds, and to health, strong aids

 

1. A father is not a father, until his Money, speaks loud and clear to his children

A mother, no less, until her off-springs respect her purse that's always left confidently open
