Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Naija Presido Na World Presido (Nigerian Pidgin English Poem)

By Chidi Anthony Opara

 

Naija Presido

Be like person

Wey im house dey burn

Wey leave am

Go dey quench fire

For another person house.

 

Everywhere for Naija

Wahala dey hala,

Different different wahala dem

Dey wahala Naija people.

 

But everywhere for yonder

Wey small wahala dey,

Naija Presido

Go waka go di place

Go dey settle wahala,

Naija Presido na world Presido.

 

If na for Somalia

Naija Presido go waka go,

If na for Cote D'Ivoire

Naija Presido go waka go,

If na for Equatorial Guinea

Naija Presido go waka go,

Naija Presido na world Presido.

 

Small time again

Im go waka go

Greet dem for Whitehall,

After dat

Im go waka go

Greet dem for Whitehouse,

Naija Presido na world Presido.
