I SIT WITH MY FRIENDS
LAUGHING,CRYING,JOYFUL
MY FEET ON THE GROUND
THE WATER COMES
OVERFLOWS MY PORCH
FLOODS MY ROOM
MY POTS ARE AFLOAT
MY CHAIRS ARE MANGROVE
MY BAGS ON MY HEAD
NOW I AM ON THE ROOF
MY FEET IS HELD HIGH
MY FRIENDS HAVE TO RUN
SEE WAHALA,SEE SUFFER
I HAVE TO LAUGH
BUT MY HEART WEEPS
IN COLLABORATION WITH ISOBOYE BROWNWEST

This captures the general picture of the standard of living of most people living in these parts but more of such sights one would behold when you venture into the oil bearing and producing Ijaw Niger Delta Regions of NIGERIA.
