Nigeria :one family
Disagreement is common even with wisdom,
Words are liked and disliked in every forum,
I see Nigeria my country as a polygamous home,
where siblings from same sperm or womb
Quarrel and fight on a daily basis
yet, deep down within their veins
Is a blood flowing from same ancestors
Vibrating in ripple effects:
'we are still families'.

Rahila's POV
Korede ,Kilode ti o tun sun loni ni Aje ati pe o jẹ ile-iwe
(Why are you still sleeping today is Monday and it's school )
My mom said in Yoruba well what's the point of bearing Korede when i'm not even using it in my school results ,
my parents actually forces us to speak Yoruba when we are home and it makes me sick and tired
"Rahila Korede!!!!!! Ṣe iwọ yoo fi yara yẹn silẹ ni bayi ki o wa ṣe ounjẹ aarọ rẹ
(Will you leave that your room now and come and make your breakfast )
I struggled a little to stand up and i managed myself to the kitchen while my eyes were half opened ,
gosh i'm so tried , did i do something stressful last night 'No' then why i'm this exhausted
"Mom can i just take cereal as my breakfast perhaps i will have some snacks at the canteen in school "
i said looking at my mom for a respond but non came out of her mouth then she cleared her throat
"Hmmm Korede se e gbo nkan ti e n so cereal ati ipanu ahh, bawo ni eyin se le dagba so fun mi"
("Hmmm Korede can you hear what you are saying cereal and snacks ahh ,how will you even grow tall tell me")
what!!!! but why can't you stop calling me that name 'korede' gosh what's this ,
i said it within myself because if i still love my life i better not say it out my mom will kill me ,
my mom continued talking but i didn't respond or gave her a look
"iwọ yoo mu awọn ohun ọgbin ti a ti le kuro ati ẹyin ṣugbọn kii ṣe awọn woro irugbin ni Mo ṣe kedere"
(you will take fired plantains and egg but not cereals am i clear )
"Okay mom "
I answered then i went back to my room to start getting ready for school i probably won't take fried plantains because today is my prefectship interview ,
who on earth fry plantains without eating it right from the frying pan ' just me ' i guess
finally i was done dressing up ,
my dad dropped me right at school before heading to the office
"Korede be a good girl and make us proud okay "!
