Dilemma of An African Man in America: Love for An African Woman vs. Love for An African American Woman
_________________
NGOZI or NIKISHA?
This kind continental dilemma don dagger my heart…
This dilemma of a continental scale has torn me apart…
See, Ngozi na fine, fine African woman
See, Nikisha is a dime American woman
I meet Ngozi the same day wey I meet Nikisha
I got acquainted with both ladies on the same day.
Dem sabi each other well, well
Both are best of friends,
Dem sabi book well, well
Both have the smart of smarts.
Dem body tight and tender
Both are shaped slim and slender.
From “Hello” and handshakes to milk shakes
From milk shakes to silk shakes.
Sleep-overs and peep-overs…
Undercover bed lover don discover the other.
Indecision don shatter my pimp-precision
Indecisive-ness has suppressed my incisive-ness.
Will it be Ngozi or Nikisha?
But Ngozi dey do shakara, shakara
But Nikisha no sabi cook akara, akara
But Ngozi dey walk one kind, one kind
But Nikisha dey talk one kind, one kind.
To kiss and tell or To miss and yell?
That is the question.
Cultural clash penetrates our cultural class
Be it friendship or relationship
African or American
Ngozi or Nikisha
First, be your own teacher.
