Ilu Agidigbo



Nigbayiwa, ti won ti ri epo buwa
won kin nowo won bulala
won tule won to lora
won ba mati sijule ola ti o lola

When they haven't found oil
They don't spend excessive coin
They kept tilling their soil
They shouldn't have depended on oil



Ona ilu da, sugbon a kin ribi gba
Ona ilu da, oun àti ina nio dabaa
Agbe ori ire oko ko lolu nla
Lagbe ose r'owo firomo niweka

Road is up, but more 'hold-up'
Roads are up but no good roads& electricity in the suburb
Farmers can't take harvest to city
That's why his child can't school


won wo kaki wa sori agbada
won fagbada gbowo ilu japa
Won ma darin-lulu ote nita
Wan babubu ni yara
Pin owo ilu sira
lailai koni faja

They wore kaaki on Agbada
Run away with loots inside Agbada
They beat drums of war
They share public funds without war


Nigbati awọn odo won wa fariga
Won o yake, yoda
sugbon won Ju ogulutu sayelukara
Awon ara aba won fariga
Won yake yoda
Won je o tutu, won ya sare nilura

The Youths got angry at a time
They drew not arms
but words the internet
Anger brewed from suburb at a time
They drew arms
They ain't cool, they raised alarms


selah!

Ilu ni o ko omo ti gbon
Esho le won kabakaba
Ibon n ke aya nlanla
Toro enu e luwo sago ara

The society still owns the unwise
Uniformed Security too were not nice
Guns were crying
Guns bore holes in different sizes

Taloni ko sijoba, keni na tu ero e pa
'who say no government' Rethink grin


Eko oyekoro dodo awon ara aba
Ile iwosan oto f'ọmọde talagba
Otokunlu oje femi won tafala
won mobiti itoju gidi ti gara.

Education at suburb not at best
Pitiful yet clumsy health services is next
Elites won't play with heart outside chest
They know where health services is its best


Esin okere o je kan fogun bura
Won ki fi kuku kiakia
won Paro ipo bi bata
oun sejoba, omo e a salaga

They won't swore on our gods oath
You goof, you won't be sorry but late
They bait with juicy spaces
Father and son are political mates


Esin solu di atigbo atigba
Fowo gbo bukata ijo toun alagba
won dawo ko ilé eko nla-nla
t'omo talaka won kin riweka

All they can say is 'we do'
Tithes goes for clerics shoes
Tithes built their walls in schools
Meanwhile, Thither ward can't school



Atipe aralu wa kinfe eto se rara
Yara nawo sijo, lora seto ijoba

Infact citizens don't keep right
They pay to religion but evade tax


Nilu wa, ain pe gba kadara
aa ma ri eto idibo imi bi ola
Aani, ani pe yoo kuro bi jiga
sugbon awon iyen mo eyin wa ko sira.

My people easily resign to fate
we see next Elections as soon
Our rant "we'll remove him soon"
They know how to untie our brooms with hate

Ilu Agidigbo, eni logbon ko ba dogba.

This drum is for the wise!
