Just because I'm Black ,
Doesn't mean I work for six - eleven,
Doesn't mean i am barbaric,
And doesn't mean I don't have common sense.
Just because I'm a Nigerian,
Doesn't mean corruption flows through my veins,
Doesn't mean I am anorexic,
And doesn't mean there are cows roaming down my street.
Just because I'm an Imolite,
Doesn't mean I have an accent,
Doesn't mean I am unsanitary,
And doesn't mean I need to defraud people to enrich myself.
Just because I'm a Woman ,
Doesn't mean I am poor,
Doesn't mean I am an illiterate,
And doesn't mean I need to spend my life in the kitchen.
Just because I'm a Black Nigerian Ibo Woman,
Doesn't mean I should be treated with disregard,
What's the difference?
What's life without variety?
Can't you just like me for me?
Just because I'm Favour. O. Whyte
