In Praise Of Nkporo

A land of safety and security
So beautiful as the morning glory,
Nkporo, a precious maiden picks among thousands.
The wrinkles ocean beneath her crawl
Watches from her mountain walls.
Here, she has settled her protective wrappers
To guide her children like mother hen
She glorifies her children from morning to night.
Her bosom blossom in a thousand fold
Admonishing the earth of her natural endowment.
She is the heroine that fought many and
Never has she been defeated in the battlefield,
She is brave, courageous, kind and honest to all.
The sun and the rain knows her by name,
The moon glaomour in her beauty, a mother of many.
Nkporo kaa, Nkporo Jokwa, Nkporo kanka, Nkporo amaka, you are the princess whose jelweries make way for men.
Your beauty is beyond description, you are a temple
Where great men receive higher level of understanding.
Nkporo stand for love, purity, justice and peace,
She is a santuary fills with milk and honey with an endless joy.
Nkporo, land of fellowship, where the righteous men shall dwell forever as the paradise home, Nkporo Amaka.
