Oshodi
The sighting of an elephant
Is beyond sight seeing
Eagle's flight is incontestable by hawk
Greatness is above physique
Oshodi is a unique land
OShodi is sleepless like a duck
Oshodi a rich land like the ocean
No land can boast of your wealth
Human heads spread like trees
Legs are like grasses in the savannah
Oshodi, the nerve centre of Lagos
Traffic hoots ceaselessly
Merchants thrive like a palm tree
Planted at the river side
Only the industrious survives in Oshodi
Oshodi has two faces
Oshodi-Oke is at the top
Oshodi-Isale is down the bridge
Strangers are confused where to disembark
Ceaseless hooting confuses newcomers
Oshodi the entrepot of Lagos
You are like the internet connetivity
Pointing to other parts of Lagos
Oshodi is a melting pot
Your identities are mixed
Who ever comes to Lagos
Must pay you homage
Oshodi is a unique city
