Urgent 2k,
The phrase that sends chills down your spine when a pal calls to ask,
Sometimes not really a pal but just a contact or distant babe

Guy, abeg I need urgent 2K to sharply balance one transaction…
…Hmmm! make I call you back.

You sometimes shiver when you realise it’s simply an announcement of SAPA

Yeah ‘Sapa’ the street slang describing the Sharp Arrest of Purchasing Ability

Or better still, the Sudden Absence of Pocket Adornment
Whichever one you get my point,

SAPA is a story of the struggle common to you and I,

Stories of neglect by the ones we call Father,

Big mummy who theoretically seems to understand our plight,

But never ever finds a right time for the transfer of card

It’s really an unending cycle of doubt and uncertain diet,

Oga, garri no be N50 o, e don turn 150,

The thought of an escape from SAPA prompts you to reconsider JAPA

Yeah JAPA, the Joint Action Plan to Abscond to a new dispensation.
