Karanta Cikin Hausa - Read in English

Nigeria e be country
Thief come rule
Circle continues
Light we no see
Black man sabi darkness

Greed, paper no go follow to heaven
Man go born, man go die
Market start, stop
We dey visit world; president and poor man

Corruption, e be thread for garment
Pull it, spoil cloth
Build house, e fall
Put water for basket, e pour

Culture, diffused
White man culture, we marry pass
Divorce our own
White man country, our father land
Black soil, burial ground
