Henry Ekwuruke
By Henry Ekwuruke
Philip Emeagwali: A True son of Africa

Wisdom that tackles the problems of humanity
The understanding and stigma unfolds
The untold truth revealed
And now it can be told

Let the sons and daughters of our mother
Africa rejoice
And be happy for good things rest
In our cursed land; though we aren’t

A people rich in culture and heritage
Great in history but ours not told
Our history denied and forgotten!
Wanting to know, yet limited and no fact

Rejoice and be glad for the jinx is broken
A prophet is out – speaking out without words
Out of Africa, a wisdom is born
Like the “mbaise” foul – watching, learning and working

No good thing comes out of these people?
Indeed a lie and sad tale
He defiled the knowledge to a truth
He had known the truth, but he needs proof
And he did and achived it!

Philip Emeagwali – a Prophet from Galilee (Onitsha – Africa)
A place where they “knowledge” says
No good thing come out from
Has made the black people proud and happy
You really did

Telling the world that the beautiful ones are yet to be born
Africans are best, even in penury
Imagine the inconveniences and set backs
You patient, goodwill and hardwork persist

Taking a people to their glory along side self

Telling the world that a prophet is out of Africa!
And many more prophets are coming after you
The cut hairs of Sampson (African people) is growing back to stronghood
You really defiled the myth, a prolitific inventor of African origin
Leading us children of Africa to say we have arrived and we are here

They said a prophet is hardly achnowledged
In his country home, I acclaim you for what yopu
Really is.
Yet to receive honour from his people – he has and we need him
More than ever, a gift to a troubled people
The tidings has been proven. He is really “IKENGA”

I nominate you also for the award and title
Of “IKEMEFUNA I OF AFRICA” “Dike, Izuru ka emee”
For no two things than
Restoring the dignity of the black people and

Making us know our history and true stories, which are
Yet untold until you told them.
