Lagos; A Lovely City"."Lagos" by Abisoye Sejoro
https://www.instagram.com/dayo_adedayo/p/CHJ2RbFHtYq/ (Instagram link didn´t work)

Lagos; A Lovely City
City of warmth
City of Joy
City of strong expression
City full of free minds
City of people that are ready to improvise

Lagos; the heart beat of its nation: Nigeria
The center of excellence
The state of commerce.
A state strong like its nation
Great like its continent: Africa
A state occupied by people full of love
kindness and strength
People of great smiles and great heart

Great Lagos
Great Nigeria
Great Africa

Oops, sorry... should have been a song video :(

Links worked for me... Enjoyed Lagos :)

Another of ED riddle poems. Interesting analysis pointing at a sister-in-law. "It doesn’t seem like a healthy friendship when one friend is perceived as stinging the other and the stung one then writes immortal poetry about it. Take it as a warning when having a writer as a friend!:"https://bloggingdickinson.blogspot.com/2011/08/f-71-1859.html. Lol!
