An Ode to Nigeria Pt. 2

It is in that careless whisper that I hear your familiar voice.
Through your eyes I regained my pride.
Your distinct smell embrace me and your kitchen is alive with activity.
You are glad to see me again,
Though your house untidy and stinky, 
You still make a place for me.
You oil my feet with sweet memories past.
I know now that I am home.
I always and will forever love you, Nigeria.
