champion of the world

gi nwa nke chukwu

gini ka ina ekwu

n'ihi ihe nile

nke chukwu mere

i tried my best to be just like

the other boys in school

i tried my best to get it right

and died at every duel

this mountainside is suicide

this dream will never work

still the sign upon my headstone

write

a champion of the world"
