POEM: Uncle Jona n bo - When Goodluck Jonathan Visits Your School...

YEPA! Uncle Jona n bo!
YEPA! Uncle Jona n bo!
Exclaims! Uncle Jonathan is coming
(Naked children are seen dancing in a circle, clapping and jumping to the rhythm they create)
YEPA!
Uncle Jona n bo!
YEPA!
Uncle Jona n bo!

When the President is coming to your school
For a meeting or is it a visit?
With the council-of-Obas of South West
Maybe to receieve an award
Or to gather support for his 2015 re-election
Everything has to stop!
Yes!
There will be security presence everywhere
OAU security, civil defence, police… And maybe the military!
You’ll see heavy armed men, who might not have been paid their salaries look sternly at you
They’ll force you to think, you have full knowledge of where Boko Haram is holding our long lost Chibok girls
YEPA!
Uncle Jona n bo!
When the President is coming to town
There must be heavy gridlock
His electorates would be forced to stay on the road longer than they expected
Students writing exams would be forced to trek from campus gate to school because public buses have been barred from plying that route
Because the President is coming to the State of Osun
You must go deaf from the blaring sounds of sirens
The Baale of Moro, Ipetumodu will break traffic rules
YEPA!
Uncle Jona n bo!
Our economy is crashing
Our girls are still missing
Our brothers and sisters in the North are dying
Boko Haram is striking
YEPA!
Uncle Jona n bo!
