TINUBU SEEKS FOREIGN LEGITIMACY

When an electoral victory is tainted by rigging
Beneficiaries of the victory seek foreign legitimacy
France, a hard-tasking colonial master was ready to oblige
France is a quid pro quo colonial power and taskmaster
France is giving Tinubu legitimacy in return for benefits

Tinubu threatened to invade Niger on France’s behalf
Until his generals talked sense into his head
Tinubu is leading the ECOWAS assault on
Former Francophone Sahel nations of Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali
That have un-yoked from French influence

Now you know why Anglophone Nigeria is running to Paris as
Francophone countries are running to Moscow
When your inecdate, sorry mandate, is tainted
You seek foreign legitimacy from anywhere
The UK and the US will extract tougher promises to join the fray

If you think the colonial masters left Africa
Think again because they never left but
Are seeking new bush meat—malleable and acquiescing countries—
To recolonize, and Nigerian officials are running
To Babbel™️ to learn conversational French.
