Have you seen him?
See who?
The medicine man
He stood by Idanre hills
Watching from afar

He gathered the clansmen
Offering sacrifices
Calling his ancestors
The specialist looked
Afar off

His enchantment
A ******'s surrender
Darkness hovers
Bringing down the spirits

Incantations
The words of the gods
A melodious sound
The Ifa Oracle's praises

The beating of bata
The fire of atonement
Smoking to the heavens
An appeasing of hearts

A sacrifice so befitting
A ******'s surrender

Written by Tosan Oluwakemi Thompson
In Nigeria’s heart, the wonders shine,  
From Ogbunike Caves to Yankari’s line.  
Farin Ruwa falls with power and grace,  
While Owu’s waters dance in place.  

Olumo Rock stands strong and wide,  
Idanre Hills with age and pride.  
Obudu’s mountains, calm and high,  
Where Niger and Benue rivers lie.  

Nigeria’s wonders, rich and rare,  
A land of beauty, beyond compare.  
From north to south, east to west,  
NGWonders show Nigeria’s best.
