Eko,
Home of Excellence.
From the creeks of Apapa,
To the waters of Badagry.
From the struggles of the Mainland,
To the affluence of the Island.
Eko,
Such a diva.
The world revolves around her,
The world is at her feet.
Eko
Where people keep up with the Joneses.
Coats are not cut according to size,
But according to the neighbour’s.
Eko,
Where the patient dog gets nothing.
Where being the early bird,
Is sometimes not enough.
Eko,
Where fame begets fame,
Power begets power,
Wealth begets wealth,
Prestige begets prestige.
Everyone pulling their strings.
Eko,
Like a prostitute,
She spreads her legs for all and sundry.
Pay the price,
Enjoy the ride.
Eko,
She entices you,
With the good things of life.
Makes you believe,
Believe you can have it all.
The reality however, is daunting.
Eko,
Every man for himself.
Mothers denied by their own children,
Siblings betrayed by their own blood.
Eko,
Where many have been deceived,
Where their dreams have caused them harm,
Where their aspirations was their undoing.
Still, they dream,
Still, they aspire.
Eko,
Stories of her are scary,
Still,
Everyone wants her.
Like a bad habit,
She is hard to forget.
Eko,
How we love you.
Despite your flaws,
Despite your misgivings,
We crave you,
We live for you,
We are proud of you.
