1. In its final lapse of passing into eternity

The year 2025 blessed Ibadan with heavy rains; a show of amity

 

1. Weather was becoming so much humid and hot

 

Like, when on fire, a cooking pot

 

1. Some have claimed, so boldly

The last rains came to wash away foot prints of those that are unholy

 

1. Those who claim to know, say

Like John the Baptist to Jesus, the rains, a herald of harmmatan haze

 

1. For Naija, 2025 was a mixed grill, some laughter, some grin

Of the good, the bad and others in between

 

1. Our rugged Naija! From the stars, I have read

 

The New Year 2026, will shade you from seeing red
