The domain of Akete
Balanced on the edges of water
An elastic city
Enticing all
Accommodating all
Land of the Eyo
Who has a pocket full of Gold
Where men traverse to seek Gold
Sojourners who attain no wisdom here
Forever remain foolish
Eko akete
land of dreams
Land of opportunity
And In the pursuit of opportunity
Many have pierced themselves with many swords
Eko akete
Land of sky scrappers
Of which rural toddlers songs
Are made of
Land of wisdom
where dreams come alive
where fools attain wisdom
And the wise are swindled
At the thought of opportunity
Eko akete
a land where the pursuit of happiness
Has led many to their graves
And the hunter becomes the hunted
a land of survival
A court room scenario
Where you must fight
Argue and insist
Present your strong reasons
Until you get your desired verdict
Eko Akete
A land where some make
Promises of a better tomorrow
Promises they do not intend to keep
A place where flyovers
Are shelter to many
And children roam the streets
Eko Akete
A land where the sane roam streets
Dressed as the insane
Dressed in expensive rags
A place where costumes are commonplace
Where sexual offences are not out of place
Eko akete
The land that grooms
The land that teaches perseverance
The center of excellence
Where all desire to be excellent
The land that rewards hard work
If you can make it here
You can make it anywhere
