Poems From Ambazonia: Has Anyone Here Seen Them, Our Leaders ⁰

Do you know anyone here

Who has heard of our president Sisiku Julius Ayuk Tabe

A man of our great revolution

Who spent his life fighting for freedom

Shaming the French and evil neocolonialist

And was abducted from Nera Hotel

Can you tell me what you know about him

For I just went to sleep and he was gone

He stood for a lot of good, equality and justice

As it seems the good and brave get abducted early

Does anybody here

Know of anyone who knows Fidelis Nde Che

A brave warrior, patriot and nationalist

Who courageously said no to demonic France

As they refused to leave our beloved land

Making a sham of what they called independence

Placing their stooges to plunder our land

Chasing and silencing our national hero

Fighting courageously even to abduction

And yet before I was  to look around

He was abducted and a monument of my memory

As it seems the good and brave get abducted young and early

Has anyone here

Seen or heard of our friend and comrade Nalowa Bih

Before I could call her she was taken from us

Deprived from joining her nationalism spirit

And her determination to keep la republique out

Caging the betrayals of political stooges

Who sold the nation for neocolonial games

She bravely fought for our independence and freedom

But before we could turn around she was gone

To became an imprint in our national psyche

As it seems the good and the brave get abducted young and early.

Has any body here

Seen my good old friend and brother Nfor Ngalla Nfor

He stood for and fought many good causes

For our freedom, our justice and our integrity

But before I could hold his hand he was gone

Taken from us just when we needed him most

Can someone please tell me where he’s gone to

For it seems the good and the brave are abducted early.

Has anyone here been to Nigeria

Did you see our hero Wilfred Tassang

Was he looking happy or sad

He stood for and fought many good causes

Same as those at the Nera hotel

But before  I could turn around to put facts together

That he is the new father of our revolution, he was gone

Taken away from me holding his hands to say I know

The tricks of the real devil and the devils in sheep clothing

For I know now only the good and brave are abducted young and early.

Has any of you here heard of our brave ones 

Cornelius Kwanga, Prof Awasum, Henry Kimeng

Eyambe Elias Elango, Ojong Okongho, Ogork Ntui, Blais Beriyuv

Do you know anyone who has seen them

Our brave warriors, patriots and nationalists

Who courageously said no to demonic France and la republique

As they refused to leave our beloved land

Making a sham of what they called independence

Placing their stooges to plunder our land

Chasing and silencing our national heros

Fighting courageously even to abduction

And yet before I was  to look around

They were abducted leaving thoughts in our revolutionary psyche

As it seems the good and brave get abducted young and early

Has any body here

Seen me seeking for the brave and good ones

Who amongst us will take the mantle to lead

To wear the amour of goodness and bravery

Of Julius Ayuk Tabe, Nfor Ngalla Nfor, Nalowa Bih

Orgork Ntui, Blaise Benriyuv, Cornelius Kwanga, Prof Awasum

Henri Kimeng, Wilfred Tassang,Eyango Elias Eyambe

And ofcourse Fidelix Nde Che, Ojong Okongho

Who here would not love the things they stood for

Did they not try to find and do some good

For you, me, us, our nation, our people and our world

As  they started out to set us and our land free

and from their works and memory and sacrifices

we will be free soon and someday when we choose

and  I thought I saw them holding hands over fako mountain

with Sisiku Julius Ayuk Tabe leading the team in

Singing and praying for us not to forget their sacrifices

As they have just been inconvenient  and are watching over us

As it seems the good and brave get abducted young and early
