I remember the days when we had on dirt’s every street
The days when marijuana was smoked in every nook and cranny
The days when they said this is Lagos…shine your eyes
The days Lagos
wasn’t safe for anyone not even your chickens
It took years….
Years of teachings
Years work and faith
Years of planning and remodeling
These years cannot be bought with money
Then came a transformation
A transformation seen as impossible
The bright lights on the streets and the Avenues
The cleanliness of oshodi
Parks upon parks…thank God for them occupy Nigeria was held
The three white cap chiefs really welcoming
The roads tilled and safe for journeys
This is the state other states want to be like
The state that controls Nigeria’s economy
Seaports, airports, sports and all orts
Entertainment, news, business
The same thought
The same prayer
The same planning
That could turn Lagos this
beautiful can turn Nigeria
Only if we believe in Nigeria as much as ……
Eko akete Ilu ogbon
Welcome to Lagos,
