Igbo

 A  wonderful people, a wonderful breed

tall and strong

like the tall iroko tree

Igbos, the choice slaves, like the Mandinka tribe

a testment of perfection of mind and matter 

Igbos the excellent, who have fought and won as slaves and masters

fought and won as servants and rulers

you have been blessed by the goddess of fortunes but tainted by the demon of tragedy 

Your blood is found in Virginia, named Igbo Land

Your blood breaks the barrier of  generations

Paul Robeson, T.D Jakes, Tyler the Creator, Blair Underwood, Jidenna

testify of your greatness
