Money Home
My salary na Halley’s Comet
Send money home
Dad’s pension, well, ‘no comment’
Shaking
My Head
Diasporia remits twenty one billion
Shaking my head
Politicians snack on trillions
Send Money Home
For loneliness takes us hostage
Send money home
Our penury is the message
Shaking My Head
At resources underground
Shaking my head
as the naira fights the Pound?
Send Money Home
Your cousin lies unconscious
Send money home
Brief illness is ferocious
Shaking My Head
No Health no Food No water
Shaking my head
No one a brother’s keeper
Send Money Home
So so bills we have for company
Send money home
We broke like slaves in Badagry
Shaking My Head
The babies keep on dying
Shaking my head
Mosquitoes keep on biting
Send Money Home
Foreign aid first goes to Government
Send money home
Their appetites have no treatment
Shaking My Head
We have hair and we have oil
Shaking my brain
We import hair and import oil
