When Lagos Devours Her Children

When Lagos Devours Her Children


‎© 2025 Olufemi David Ajulo


Once, Lagos was a mother — fat and kind,

Her bosom flowed with fish and grain;

She fed the poor, she housed the blind,

And bathed her children after rain.


But now the mother wears high heels,

Perfumed in greed, wrapped in disguise;

She sells her sons’ ancestral fields for foreign deals,

And calls it urban enterprise.


Maroko vanished — not a trace,

Swallowed by the city’s grin;

Ilubirin, too, has lost her face,

To towers raised on borrowed sin.


While Aspamda cried foul at creeping demolition,

Begging time to heal and recoup investment,

The city moved on — deaf to petition;

As Ladipo’s fate now looms,

And Computer Village lies sealed

Beneath heaps of dump-site dreams congealed

To Gatankowa’s wounded field.


Lagos, you breathe so sweet when kind,

Making strangers stubbornly claim your ancestry;

But when you blow hot, your rage unkind —

Like sea tempests devouring memory.


The sweetness you bring turns to chaff,

And the gnashing of teeth drowns the roar

Of bulldozers grinding dreams in half,

And homes that stand no more.


And now Oworonshoki turns Gaza’s kin,

Her mangroves maimed, her waters thin;

Majestic buildings, mercilessly torn,

Reduced to rubble by dawn to morn.


Ah, Lagos — bride of restless sandy gold,

Your laughter rings through tears and pain;

You pawn your past for what you’re told,

Then buy your soul back — once again.


Oh city of sandy gold and broken vows,

Your glitter feeds on buried names;

You dance on ruins, making many floaters,

Reversing destinies back to ground zero —

Where a room to start again looks bleak,

Where death seems nobler than to seek

Mercy in your scornful eyes.


Yet you call these scars — these forced displacements,

These tears baptized in demolition dust —

The noble claims of compulsory urbanization!


Lagos, the city that once nursed her brood,

Now feasts upon her children’s blood.

Her skyline gleams, her conscience bare —

And all that’s human gasps for air.

The Devil in the Policies

The Devil in the Policies

‎© 2025  David Ajulo. All Rights Reserved.


Our God's intercessors are on the mountains again. ,

Waging war with invisible chains.

They shout at shadows, curse the air,

Binding spirits that were never there.

They bind the water, fire, and sand.

As if creation slipped God’s hand.

Declaring victory, loud and grand —

O’er sins they never understand.


But down the hill, the devil grins;

He signs the laws that give birth to new sins.

He drafts decrees that break the meek,

And seals injustice every week.

His pen drips ink—black as night;

Each stroke erases someone’s right.


No horns adorn his powdered head,

No trail betrays the path he’s led.

His suit is neat, his handshake firm,

His smile conceals a crawling worm.

He prays in public, quotes verses,

Then doubles the widow’s tax—or worse.


They cry “Fire! Fire!” all through the night.

But justice hides from their holy sight.

The flames they call don’t purify;

They flicker low, then fall and die.

For the devil’s altar is the room.

Where policies bloom and morals doom.


He builds cathedrals, shuts down schools,

Feeds his dogs, enslaves the fools.

He funds crusades, yet steals the grain,

Then calls it grace when others pain.

He bows in church, with pious show,

But leaves the streets in hunger’s glow.


So let them bind, let thunder roll;

Let preachers chant to save the soul,

The devil they seek with holy yell,

Dwells not in hell, but governs well...

Too well for self, too cold for men —

And hides his pitchfork in the pen.

THE SYRINGE AND THE SCEPTRE

THE SYRINGE AND THE SCEPTRE
By David Ajulo

They come again, with coats so white,
Smiling faces, polished bright —
Bearing needles of promise thin,
To pierce our faith, not just our skin.

They whisper “health” in tongues so sweet,
But history limps on wounded feet;
Kano’s children still haunt the night,
From trials done in foreign light.

Burkina heard the chant before,
“Malaria cured!” — behind that door,
Sterility wore a hidden crown,
And futures there were quietly drowned.

Now PrEP appears, a saviour’s guise,
But wisdom sees through foreign eyes;
For those who lost the race to tech,
Now seek control through human necks.

They say, “Be safe, inject, comply,”
But who will ask the reason why?
When hunger feeds the spread of sin,
And poverty births death within.

Forty dollars! — in this land of sweat,
Where dreams are pawned to pay one’s debt;
Why buy the cure they claim to sell,
When clean hands, hearts, and homes do well?

Abstinence, truth, and love’s restraint,
Need no syringe, nor saintly paint;
Our cure is not in western labs,
But in the strength our conscience grabs.

O Africa, rise — your womb is gold!
Do not let strangers make it cold;
Guard your genes, your seed, your name,
For health with chains is health in shame.

Let science serve, not sell, your fate;
Let honour build your healing gate.
For freedom’s drug is brewed within,
Not bought with needles, nor with sin.

So stand, my people — wise, aware,
Your blood is yours, beyond repair.
Let not their “help” your soul control —
Be whole in body, mind, and soul.

The Dust Beneath the Crown

The Dust Beneath the Crown

‎(© 2025 David Ajulo)

‎When breath departs and lips grow still,

‎The mansion sleeps upon the hill.

‎The gold once kissed by morning’s ray,

‎Now gathers dust and fades away.

‎The silken robes, the jeweled crest,

‎Lie cold upon an empty chest.

‎The pride that strutted, tall and grand,

‎Turns silent dust, returns to sand.

‎O fleeting crown, O shining fame,

‎How brief the echo of your name!

‎When death draws near with muffled tread,

‎All vanity lies cold and dead.

‎Yet love outlives the marble tomb,

‎It lights the dark, dispels the gloom.

‎For wealth shall fade and time shall rust,

‎But goodness blooms beyond the dust.

‎So live with grace, not vain display,

‎Let kindness mark your mortal day.

‎For when the soul has flown away,

‎All vanity has had its say.

Vanity’s Veil


‎The folly of man begins to unfold,
‎In greed’s dark temple, his heart grows cold.
‎He hoards his gold with trembling hand,
‎Most stolen wealth from another’s land.

‎Behind the veil, his treasures lie,
‎Blind to the truth that all must die.
‎Justice, though veiled, can truly see,
‎And smiles at man’s futility.

‎In chambers hallowed, she waits in grace,
‎To summon truth, to unmask the face.
‎For man and greed — one twisted vine,
‎Entwined in dust, yet claim divine.

‎Fate in her fairness calls again,
‎“Return to light, forsake the chain!”
‎But man, deafened by hollow lust,
‎Still chooses death, still feeds on dust.

‎When breath departs and hearts are still,
‎No gold can buy the Maker’s will.
‎Dust shall to dust in silence fall,
‎And spirit rise, forsaking all.

‎All wealth, all pride, all mortal gain,
‎Are chaff before the wind and rain.
‎For what is man’s grand enterprise,
‎But vanity beneath the skies?

Trump and the Nobel Mirage

Trump winning a Nobel? — what a jest of fate,

An arm-twisting of minds the world should hate.

Vitriol spills from his gilded throne,

A tongue of thunder, yet heart of stone.


His moods — a tempest, cold and hot,

Peace and mercy? He knoweth not.

He flings out souls to foreign dust,

Inhuman hands betray their trust.


Tariffs rise like walls of war,

Commerce bleeding at freedom’s door.

He calls it strength, the wise call pain,

A tyrant’s pride in freedom’s chain.


Yet shadows stretch where powers lie,

Influence darkens the Nobel sky.

Perhaps the judges, weak with awe,

Will crown the man who mocks their law.


Who knows? In this world’s bitter game,

Even irony may wear a name —

And peace may kneel, stripped of disguise,

To hail deceit and call it Prize.

The African Zacchaeus

Nigeria was in "bulaba", "balablu", and  "bulubla",

A circus of chaos — a political abracadabra.

Rulers feasted while the people fasted,

Dreams decayed, hopes long lasted.

 

Corns of swine fed the sons of man,

While kings dined fat on stolen yam.

The air was thick with lies and lament,

Where progress died and poverty bent.

 

Roads looked like faces battered and torn,

Each pothole a wound the nation had worn.

Bridges groaned with forgotten pain,

As rain returned the land to drain.

 

Governments sweating in their deceit,

Corruption dancing on every street.

Ten percent pay tax — the rest pretend,

While the nation bleeds with no amend.

 

Twenty-three million “worthy” they say,

But the hidden billions pave their way.

Evaders smiling in silk disguise,

As justice sleeps with covered eyes.

 

Then came 2023 — a year of thunder,

When the throne quaked and the earth wondered.

A man arose — short in mercy, tall in tax,

Climbed the sycamore tree with economic hacks.

 

They called him The African Zacchaeus, bold and shrewd,

Preaching reform, yet plundering the brood.

He slew the subsidy with a prophet’s flair,

Devalued the Naira beyond repair.

 

He spoke of palliatives — sweet words, hollow,

That melted away by the breath of the shallow.

Politicians feasted, the people wailed,

Every promise — half-fulfilled, derailed.

 

Then came the taxes — relentless and raw,

He taxed the sweat, the sigh, the straw.

He taxed the market woman’s grain,

He taxed the tears, he taxed the rain.

 

He taxed the dead in silent sleep,

He taxed the poor, whose souls they keep.

From salt to soap, from bread to breath,

He turned taxation into death.

 

And the people watched, with weary eyes,

As hope was sold for foreign ties.

Repentance was preached, but none was done,

For the climb had just begun.

 

The African Zacchaeus, perched on high,

Saw the crowd below and passed them by.

He never came down, no restitution made —

Just shadows of promises, fading in trade.

 

Nigeria waits beneath that tree,

For justice lost in currency.

Will he descend, to heal the land?

Or keep counting coins with trembling hand?

When God Sends a Teacher

_By AJ, the Teacher’s Son_ 


When God would mend a broken nation,

He births a soul for education.

Not crowned in gold nor draped in might,

But clothed in patience, armed with light.


They walk through storms with steady grace,

A gentle fire lights their face.

They teach in huts, they teach in halls,

They answer destiny’s quiet calls.


They say your reward lies far above,

In heaven’s arms of endless love.

Yet earth denied you comfort’s share,

You taught through hunger, dust, and care.


Still, you pressed on, with heart aflame,

No thirst for power, no crave for fame.

You forged ahead with holy fire,

Each word you spoke made minds aspire.


You’d split your brain if that would show,

A dullard’s mind the way to glow.

You plant your soul in others’ clay,

And die a bit with every day.


My father — aye, a saint of chalk,

Whose words could tame the wildest talk.

When he flogged, he flogged with cause,

Then taught the mercy behind the laws.


He was faultless, fair, and fierce with truth,

He built in men the roots of youth.

He’d scold, then smile — a tender art,

A master craftsman of the heart.


And lo, my matriarch — age ninety-one,

Still teaching lessons, her race not done.

Her chalk may break, her hands may shake,

But not her will, for wisdom’s sake.


She says, “To die a teacher’s fine,

For teaching’s breath is half divine.”

In every wrinkle, time has penned,

The stories of the minds she’s mend.


Even Fate, that unseen preacher,

Is but another cosmic teacher.

It tests, it bends, it makes us see,

The shape of what we’re meant to be.


For teaching is not craft alone,

It’s chiseling flesh into living stone.

It’s catching dreams before they fall,

It’s answering destiny’s quiet call.


Oh teacher! Prophet of the pen,

You build the world again and again.

Kings you’ve raised, yet none may know,

The garden where their wisdom grow.


Your chalk may fade, your books decay,

But truth you sow will never stray.

Your voice — though stilled — still softly hums,

In every mind your spirit drums.


So here’s to you, the unsung sage,

The keeper of tomorrow’s page.

Though heaven holds your lasting pay,

We bless you here — this Teachers’ Day.


*AJ*

A Warped Narrative

O Nigeria, child of promise and pain,

You swore to keep the law humane.

You raised your flag in morning’s glow,

But justice bends where riches flow.


You hold the scales for all to see,

Yet weigh them not with equity.

The mighty steal, their sins are blessed,

The poor man pleads — and finds no rest.


A governor loots a billion or more,

He dines, he smiles, he takes the floor.

A boy steals bread — a hungry plea,

Fourteen years — no clemency.


Your judges whisper in velvet halls,

While truth lies chained behind their walls;

The gavel thunders, sharp and loud,

But only breaks the weaker crowd.


The thief in power wears a crown,

The thief in rags is hunted down.

Mercy lives in marble homes,

While justice wanders, cold and lone.


O land of hope, how low you fall,

When laws serve few, not all in all.

Your soul now cries from depth of shame,

And calls each man to stake his name.


Rise, Nigeria! Awake, reclaim!

Let justice burn — a holy flame.

Let truth be blind to face and fame,

And weigh all hearts with equal frame.


For peace will bloom when right is done,

And law stands tall for everyone.

Then shall the poor no longer bleed 

And nation rise from word to deed.

Thorns of the Day ‎

Today is thorned by self-made kings,

‎Whose bristles pierce like poisoned stings.

‎With unabashed joy, they pillaged wealth,

‎And now they dine while the poor can’t see.

‎With spilled cups, looters roam freely.

Fueled by our perspiration, they indulge themselves.

As though the coin were related to water,

‎Flowing like streams they bathe within.

‎But hunger stalks the dusty street,

‎Inflation scorches weary feet.

‎Taxes arrive in endless trains,

‎Each one a chain, each one more pains.

The helpless gasp, their slender voices,

‎For jobs are scarce, none let them in.

‎A mother’s breast runs dry, yet still,

‎A single drop keeps life until.

‎For in her flow lies humankind,

‎The hope, the strength the poor may find.

‎But where’s the stream, the trade, the bread?

‎Our microeconomies lie dead.

‎Vegetative like the crowd,

‎Silent, listless, yet unbowed.

When will the wicked be held accountable?

‎When shall the gavel crush their gate?

‎O day of justice, rise and flame!

‎Let truth consume the liar’s name.

‎Till then, we chant, we bleed, we fight,

‎For dawn will come to slay the night.

The Refinery Farm

Once upon a farm where crude did flow,

The animals dreamed of a bright new glow.

“No more hunger, no more strife,

Fuel will be cheaper, a brand-new life.”


But the lion roared, “All crude is mine,”

The goats and hens must fall in line.

Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop,

The lion’s belly full — the queues don’t stop.


The donkey asked, “Where is our share?”

The lion replied, “Export is fair.

Europe needs milk, their purse is wide,

You drink the froth, while I take the hide.”


The tortoise laughed, “Na story be this,

A pot of soup, yet we chop beans’ hiss.

One man dey cook, the rest dey wait,

Naija dey starve at refinery gate.”


The slogan read: “For Nigeria’s sake,”

But the lion grew fat, the farm grew fake.

For when one beast controls the barn,

The others graze on empty yarn.


So clap for the “Messiah” of oil and flame,

Whose gospel of profit is a rigged-up game.

Until many beasts can share the land,

We’ll eat from his hoof and drink from his hand.

Bad Governance

Bad governance is poison spray,

It scatters hope, drives peace away.

Like rats they scatter, lost, displaced,

No ties, no roots, just dreams erased.

The people starve while tyrants dine,

Greed kills the soul, line after line.

The Betrayed African Tree

A tree once stood, both proud and tall,

Its roots were deep, its shade for all.

It fed the poor, it gave them rest,

Its branches wide, its soil was blessed.


But vultures came with crowns of lies,

They plucked its fruit, they bled its skies.

They stole the rain, they scorched the ground,

And left the tree with none around.


So children fled on broken wings,

To foreign lands, to stranger kings.

One froze in Canada’s bitter snow,

Another burned where deserts glow.


One crossed the seas to chase a dream,

One drowned in America’s stream.

The last in London walks the mist,

While parents weep with clenched-up fist.


And who is blamed for this despair?

The rulers fat on stolen share!

They sell our gold, they eat our grain,

And laugh at families split in pain.


O wicked hands that call it “rule,”

You turn the land to ash and school—

Where lessons teach us how to flee,

And lose the bonds of family.


No tree can live when roots are bound,

By traitor kings who scar the ground.

No branch can stay when hope is gone,

When thrones are built on what’s undone.


Rise, O children, cry and see:

The crime is not in you or me.

It lies in hearts that chose to reign,

By trading life for private gain.


So hear this truth, let voices ring—

We curse the shame our leaders bring!

A tree betrayed will bow and fall,

Unless we fight to save it all.

Afriland Inferno — A Hymn of Resurrection

O tower of glass on Lagos shore,

‎You shone with pride, but shine no more.

‎Your windows once held heaven’s light,

‎Now ashes cloak your ruined height.


‎The inverters failed, their hum grew still,

‎Black smoke arose with vengeful will.

‎It veiled the day, it choked the breath,

‎It filled the halls with fiery death.


‎Through haunted floors dread spirits came,

‎As demons dancing wild with flame.

‎A sweet but toxic breath was sown,

‎And turned men’s lungs to ash and stone.


‎From upper floors they leapt in fear,

‎Their cries of anguish split the air.

‎The walls betrayed, no breath, no room,

‎A flawed design became their tomb.


‎O Death, thou ancient, bitter king,

‎Where hides thy blade, where lies thy sting?

‎Your harvest reaps, your terror reigns,

‎Yet hope outlives your dark domains.


‎For though the dusk saw ten breathless,

‎The dawn shall break beyond it all.

‎Their souls now walk in brighter lands,

‎In God’s own care, in gentle hands.


‎And Afriland, though scarred by flame,

‎Shall rise again, renewed in name.

‎Its walls shall gleam, its towers soar,

‎More radiant than they were before.


‎So sing, ye mourners, lift your eyes,

‎From smoke and ash new hope shall rise.

‎The grave shall fail, the fire shall bend,

‎For resurrection crowns the end!

My Four Cousins

From time immemorial, hunger’s decree,

Keeps mankind hanging on misery’s tree.

Fuel feeds engines, food fuels breath,

Without the stomach, the body meets death.


In foreign lands, the poor are fed,

While here, our leaders tax the bread.

Arable fields in endless span,

Yet famine thrives on the richest land.


Golden crumbs, the table denies,

Three meals vanish, replaced with sighs.

But when despair begins to bite,

My four bold cousins march to fight:


Garri the gritty, groundnut fried,

Sugar the sweet, milk skimmed and dried.

No subsidy plans, no lofty speech,

Just simple cousins within our reach.


Through SAP’s torment, through Booharry’s jest,

Through subsidy burials and Naira’s unrest,

Through ration drops from three to one,

You kept the fire, though hope was gone.


O mighty cousins, you mock the grand,

Who squander riches of fertile land.

While they debate in lavish halls,

You fill the bowls in empty stalls.


Great saviours of the common plate,

Scorn to leaders who starve the state!

Garri, groundnut, sugar, milk—

Humble heroes in rags, not silk.

Enough of the bleeding!

They tax our hunger, they auction our cries.

The rich grow swollen on the nation’s decay,

While the poor are scourged, with no voice to say.


Dreams drowned, many flee to Oluweri’s shore,

Seeking swift passage to a point of no return—or greener fields.

A comatose land—yet they demand more,

Squeezing lean pockets already sore.


How long shall a people be yoked in chains?

How long shall vultures feast on our veins?

While Gen Z dances in Yahoozee’s trance,

A fleeting euphoria, a wasted chance.


You cannot draw blood from stones that weep,

Nor rob the naked, buried six fathoms deep.

This is no governance—it is theft,

A plague on the land, leaving nothing left.


But we are the fire, the storm, the flame,

We’ll rise from the ashes, we’ll break the chains!

For when the broken and battered unite,

No tyrant survives the people’s might.


Nepal may stumble in silence and tears,

But the giant awakens, blowing off years

Of locusts like chaff, scattered and bare—

The drum of revolt is thundering near.


Stoked by the powers that gamble our fear,

The end of plunder is what they dread,

No longer shall greed eat the people’s bread!


The crown of justice, the voice of speech,

Accountability within our reach,

An equal-right society shall rise,

To scatter the schemes of repressive lies!

Unmask the Ghost!

Corruption once had flesh and bone,

A greedy hand, a gilded throne.

We saw the sacks, we heard the lies,

We named the thieves, we heard their cries.


But now it hides in code and screens,

In ghostly wires, in silent schemes.

No fingerprints, no guilty face—

Just shadows running through cyberspace.


Osborne flat groaned with stolen notes,

Walls stuffed fat, a nation chokes.

Then came a sum with no address,

Seven million—a nameless mess in dollars!


This phantom hand breeds hunger deep,

It robs the roads, the farms, the sheep.

It starves the schools, the clinics bare,

And laughs because it isn’t there!


But we are fire, we are the storm,

We’ll break the ghost, we’ll crush its form.

With laws that shine, with truth that stings,

With fearless hearts, with sharpened wings.


Unmask the ghost! Expose its trail!

No thief unseen must yet prevail.

Let every coin declare its birth,

Let every contract prove its worth.


The time is now—we rise, we fight,

We drag the shadows into light.

For if we sleep, our dreams are sold—

A hollow state, a nation cold.


But if we rise with voice and pen,

With courage fierce, with will of men,

The ghost will fall, the chains will break—

And freedom’s dawn this land will wake!

Quarrel, the Keeper of Love

Hold me tight; let me not fall.

To the abyss where no hearts call.

This love has flown past Wonderland’s gate,

Weightless in splendour, defying fate.


Why is it sweet without the sting?

When life gives thorns with every spring?

Smooth roads are rare, as Nigeria knows.

Each mile is scarred with pothole throes.


So once, my dear, we need the test.

A brief quarrel to guard the rest.

For love too soft may drift away,

Like clouds that wander and never stay.


A quarrel checkmates passion’s flame,

Resets the heart, recalls the name.

An antidote to wandering souls,

That drift from orbit toward empty holes.


So let us fight, then make amends,

For quarrels, too, are love’s true friends.

They tether bliss to earth’s embrace,

And keep our spirits in their rightful places.

The voice of many, God's command

The gluttonous 20% prayed for looters to thrive,

For thrones of deceit where corruption survives.

Priests anointed their plunder, baptised their greed,

Guardians of darkness, blind to the people’s need.


The 80% bowed, gagged by despair,

Like rams to the slaughter, stripped, laid bare.

Silent, crushed, their spirit betrayed,

Till heaven declared: The hour is made!


Truth thundered like a war-drum’s cry,

Rot scattered, corruption ran dry.

A virgin voice, untainted, aflame,

Rose in power, dismantling shame.


The shackled awoke, the docile grew bold,

Their march was a river, relentless, cold.

They swept the bald tyrant like straw in the gale,

Chaff in the tempest, no refuge, no bail.


Now Justice sits, incorruptible, crowned,

The people’s decree shakes the ground.

For the voice of the many is God’s command,

And heaven has freed Nepal, by its hand!

A Song in a Strange Land

They roam with restless feet,
Seeking crowns where they were not carved,
A hunger unquenched by hearth or home,
A thirst that drains the host they meet.

Merchants of mirage,
Cloning thrones where thrones are set,
They weave their tents on borrowed soil,
Yet stretch their arms to claim the sun.

Can one sing the Lord’s song in exile?
The question lingers, ancient and stern—
But their answer is thunder,
A hymn pitched higher than the sky,
A contest with spirits,
An echo that dares the gods themselves.

Insatiable push,
Authority wrestled from shadows,
Recognition bought with stubborn breath,
And always, always,
The dream of a kingdom
In another man’s land.

Lapalapa, I hate thee!


‎Upon the head you make your claim,

‎A creeping thief with stubborn flame.

‎Lapalapa, with Osupa near,

‎Ekusa joins—my crown they tear.


‎The healer’s hand then marks the skin,

‎With scarlet trails that burn within.

‎A fiery brew, kerosene’s breath,

‎Descends like judgment, pain of death.


‎The jaws they grind, the teeth they gnash,

‎As searing heat and torment clash.

‎But soon the frost, like polar snow,

‎Bites deeper still, a colder blow.


‎Then silence falls, the pain released,

‎A fleeting calm, the itching ceased.

‎The foe lies still, the head feels free,

‎A fragile, borrowed victory.


‎But Mario-like, you rise once more,

‎Unbidden guest at scalp and pore.

‎You spread like flames in prairie grass,

‎Dividing skin with map-like mass.


‎O parasite, so rude, unkind,

‎You plague the body, haunt the mind.

‎No welcome waits, yet still you stay—

‎Lapalapa, be gone, I pray!
