Laminisa, a leafy sweet potato

Enormous charms that intoxicates

Laminisa says: “if you have many charms

And you are not forthright; the charms would lose their efficacy”

A heritage of war-happy

Arọni, who always thinks of war

Arọni, who does not stay at home

Olukoyi, who does not cease to go to war

A heritage of war happy

When their father woke up

He headed to the war front

A heritage of Olukoyi, who would not be hit by bullets at the back

Their father would rather be hit by bullets in the chest

A heritage of Olukoyi who is shot at the back is a coward

A heritage whose corpse is taken to war front for burial

The child of Tìmì Àgbàlé Ọlọ́fà-Iná

A heritage of Ikoyi

The child of one who woke up to beat drum of war
