CERTIFICATE VS SABIFICATE By Uchendu Daniel

I sort to know, so I got to the walls of Learning;

Doing everything everyone else had sort for just like me;

Guess what, just guess...

I got the Paper;

The paper had password to get my fingers busy;

For some tips which may fall in my Bossom if my Paper works the way easy

At every end of thirty and one full moon days...

This ultimate Search to get busy turned me dazed.

But,

Morning by morning new depression I see;

How Come I'm stranded with my Paper?

For God's sake, it took me Damn Four years of imprisonment,

Of humiliation and frustration in that walls of Learning...

Dangling from one Lecturer's office to the other

Like a pendulum of failure yet I thought I greeted success...

Why am I stranded In this outside world?

No, brother tell me why?

Look how the managers lash me Incompetent...

But my Paper call me First class candidate...

Look how I'm disgraced on a date

But my Paper Carry weight...

Look how my pocket's are so dry

But, walls of Learning said I'll get my levels high,

Richer, and equal to a presidential seat

when I turn a graduate...

This is an outside world,

Outside the walls of Learning;

Here in a jungle of 'Cats' and 'dogs,'

And everything seems to be fake...

Mr. Drake, tell me my vision isn't opaque!

Oh no!

What a crying Shame,

In the race to acquire fame?

The story continues to stain my name.

Brother Sabi, wetin you dey talk self...?

How you go tell me say... I no Sabi?

Don't give me that Crap!

I'm not a piece of rag.

How you go yarn me say I no get sense of money...?

Abeg, which one be sense of Money?

Ah, I hear say... this na the real world;

Real world wey certificate no dey work.

Ah, E never clear for my eye o...

Brother Sabi, wetin you dey talk?

Hmmmm, Imagine, kunle self of yesterday no go School like me

But Him get Toyota Venza, fencing his beautiful world...

Land cruiser, cruising his world and even 

Land crusher, crushing the world,

Because na only am get plenty money...

People dey talk say... him get 'SABIFICATE.'

Ah, Ayemi temi...

Which one come be 'SABIFICATE' again?

I hear say 'SABIFICATE' na person wey know him onions...

If you Sabi you no go worry too much.

I even hear say, SABIFICATE na wetin your hand fit do wey him and experience take join body dey waka...

Say elm, SABIFICATE no dey do favouritism;

Say Certificate fit do bribe but if 

SABIFICATE enter dey matter,

E go show say you no Sabi...

'Sabification' Sabi account for money,

Sabification Sabi say money na tool for work,

Certificate na tool for Money...

Sabificate get sense of every step wey money dey take join body Waka,

Certificate na man wey get one wife for bush of no hope;

Sabificate and Solomon for Bible na Age mate for woman matter;

Because sabificate fit feed pass one thousand wives join certificate;

Certificate na gateman for Sabificate house!

Imagine the world playing games with me and my hard earned paper...

SABIFICATE may not speak good English...

But I speak good English yet I have no personal qualities...

Please, can someone tell me that this movie, this crap...

This mediocre of a story isn't happening to me?

Is it better to earn the Certificate Paper or...

Be in a Mansion full of money and understanding

Under the sheds of 'SABIFIED' 'SABIFICATE,' 'SABIFICATION?'
