ONCE UPON A ROLL CALL


Once upon a roll call

The famous call in June

The sucking month of June

Of the Big, the Small and the Posh

The Racer and the loader

The good, the bad, the rickety

The beautiful and the ugly

Tokunboh and Kaduncome

Set like a host of ants

In response to the General’s call

To the clash of Titans

Titans of Oyeh and Money

The monthful calls at stations

On daily and nightly basis

The crawly rows of racers

The bedly turns of Commuter buses

And mobby journeys of trekkers

On the oily soil of WAZOBIA

Oh! If blood were fuel

And eyes were bulbs

What a graveyard be WAZOBIA

What a suffocation be its darkness

Oh the Oyeh month of roll call!

Hear my neighbour’s call

Fuel scarcity got to its peak in June 1993. The whole nation felt it. it was a disagreement between the Oil and gas Minister and the Minister of Finance. Problems on wether there shopuld be importation or not. It was a terrible experience. So i thought it should be recorded.
