The birth of a brave leader
Came the surge of rapture
From the womb of the giving mother
His birth erased the child birth pains
Silently flooded with joy, the mother prayed
“May the sun shine on this true son of the soil”
“May the moon secretly smile behind the horizon”
“May the darkness of the night give birth to a similar sunrise”
The gong sounded thunderously, summoning the denizens to the village square
This was an auspicious announcement of the birth of a king
A true African descendant
Whose pride lies in Africa
Connecting them
Binding them
Rejuvenating and promoting the African culture
And the ancestors looked down upon this magical celebration with a smile
He is the custodian of the African history
Rewriting history in the sands of time
He is a true leader
Who defines tolerance patiently
He is patriotic and dedicated
True nation builders like him are rare gems
He is Ndikanwu
True son of the soil
Let’s usher his birthday with merriment
Filled with raucous activities
That sends shivers into the heart of the ocean
