The issue in my beloved Country
After the exploit of OUR national Team
En route the Trophy
Which we EARNESTLY pray they Accomplish
I have often heard and seen the Reel
Of the quota system been Rubbished
Forgetting that this same Statistics
Of players from these Districts
Couldn't make it to the Masterpiece
I mean the first FIFA world cup in the Middle East
The black stars clipping their Wings
The quota mentioned now was not on our lips
Yet I pray that someday we ALL come to See
Need I say Believe
That each part of the Country
Has an advantage given to them by the King of Kings
Which of course makes us Thick
Population will give you a firm Grip
In a game of numbers which is the arena of Politics
Football that is money Spinning
Will attract people given to Industry
But most Importantly
The South Africans should be the ones Celebrating
Their country is not known for football but Rugby
Which in the near future Nigeria cannot confront them even in their Dreams
I will not even mention Swimming
With our vast array of water Bodies
Yet they still flex muscles with us in our other Field
Which use to be our Specialty
I mean Athletics
Credits must be given to the Zulu Kids
Brave ambassadors of the Super Diski
Holding a STAR STUDDED eagles to the Lottery
I wonder when the Nigerian Premier League
Will produce an Army
That will defend her Territory
In an international Meet
But if only the Zulu lad had not skewed his kick
From the rebound of a goal bound Freekick
Saved by a Goalie
That is a product and an ambassador of that Zulu Magnanimity
The Zulu kids wouldn't have been talking about Penalties
Nigerians themselves would have had a different Narrative
The government and technical crew would have met the Fury
Of all and Sundry
Especially with the present Harsh, Comatose and Permit me to say Dieing Economy
I heard the Presidency
Will be in CIV
For sight Seeing
They better pray HEAVEN gift them the Afcon Trophy
As the Nation is in DIRE NEED OF IT
If for Nothing
They can continue to live true to their Naming
Of a country Suffering And Smiling.
GOD BLESS THE SUPER EAGLES
GOD BLESS NIGERIA
