HISTORY OF SABUWAR ANGUWA, MAGUME, ZARIA
BRIEF HISTORY OF SABUWAR ANGUWA.
From the North it slopes down to River Kamacha
A place where young and old are
Free of Kleptomania
They named it New Quarter

NAKUMBO’S PAEAN
The road to the realm is really rough
It blistered my bare feet and I go bald
But soothed away’s all the pain by the sound
Of the yell of delight: ayyyyyyy ririri!
Proving to people that Princess Edlash
Will be my one and only wife
On Monday this month of my blissful year.
Birds will rejoice and sing: siiiiiii sis sis si siiiiiiiii!
As my crummy legs will dance ta ta tataf taf!

INSIDE OUT
INSIDE OUT
Awake I am but behave as in trance
Humility to me is self importance
My braveness became high and tough
Though it ought to, I know its show off
Those around me crowned me and hail me
Not for being straight but cunning
My stupid bald in wig I tucked and toupee
As I padlocked the truth and melt down the key
Hence, to me khaki is see through
All false I call them nothing but true
Seldom have I sent away shameful bribe
I often take it as gift; O my tribe!
Great men’s history’s kept by archives
Of truth and honesty of their lives
For that, in good faith I should do
-If God spare my life- all I have to
Awake I am but behave as in trance
Humility to me is self importance
My braveness became high and tough
Though it ought to, I know its show off
Those around me crowned me and hail me
Not for being straight but cunning
My stupid bald in wig I tucked and toupee
As I padlocked the truth and melt down the key
Hence, to me khaki is see through
All false I call them nothing but true
Seldom have I sent away shameful bribe
I often take it as gift; O my tribe!
Great men’s history’s kept by archives
Of truth and honesty of their lives
For that, in good faith I should do
-If God spare my life- all I have to

Yesterday you’re a king

Today is trampled heavily down
Yesterday your words were so expensive
Today’re marked down like an old shirt
Yesterday you are praised and loved
Today you receive hate like devil
Yesterday your wife’s preserved like pearls
Today so exposed like a street light
Yesterday you ascend over them all
Today you descend like a water fall
Yesterday my tribe is different from yours
Today Nigerians merge the tribes together
I am Fulani you are the other
You know yourself please take correction
By returning to your good etiquette
