Aboki!



Hated the name they calls me sometimes when it's ungestured, for the sake and cry out loud
may be because I left and living with some Hausas traits now
I still don't know why for reasons
That if any men leave another particular geographical zones has become an habitual race
of the same place given name to bears
mostly among the dearly play mates and for cheers

May be because I love their Arewa styles of relationship and how I seldomly dress or pronounced my effortless words
No tribes is lamed, so far we are all real Nigerians
Of the northern curture I once lives with them while travelled and schooled
Love it anyway but at times i won't be fooled
Even i have been nicknamed in my hometown too

Has it been they knew the tribal language meaning of the words name
Prolly they would better admired the same
"Aboki means a friends" liked so they call me for not only fun
I think I love it and should be my newly givens pun
and 'As known as' community general to my humanely prescriptions
Like am becoming famous and famous
Anytime I heard the whispering chorus
I acknowledged I was the one they called

A name of a newly friend's in town, "Aboki!"
