ADA NKWERRE

(Cultural Beauty Pageant)

 

 

Oral mighty pageant

Natural quality agent,

Moral utility detergent

Mutual deity; cogent

Parochial sanity sergeant

Cordial lofty reagent;

Ada Nkwerre; Beauty Pageant

 

Logical dignity celebrant

Communal unity commandant,

Instrumental diversity lubricant

Loyal celebrity vibrant,

Classical property; important

Serial integrity elephant,

Ada Nkwerre; Beauty Pageant.

 

Formal enmity repellant

Normal responsibility correspondent,

Carnival suitability dependent

Optimal compatibility respondent,

Rural charity president

Vocal maturity eloquent,

Ada Nkwerre; Beauty Pageant.

 

Mundial generosity flamboyant

Survival liberty; gallant

Arrival modesty vigilant,

Medicinal curiosity abundant,

Suicidal impunity redundant

Approval audacity enchant,

Ada Nkwerre, Beauty Pageant.

 

Monumental creativity development

Radical atrocity disbandment,

Unusual casualty management

Spiritual calamity atonement,

Impartial humanity appointment

Special sanity reinforcement,

Ada Nkwerre; Beauty Pageant.

 

Royal loyalty encouragement

Cardinal integrity relevant,

Traditional superiority compliment

Structural durability communicant,

Conjugal nativity investment

Ceremonial activity propellant,

Ada Nkwerre; Beauty Pageant.

 

Portal purity empowerment

Local ability improvement,

Crucial nationality monument

Revival relativity excitement,

Factual retainability refreshment

Marginal mentality movement,

Ada Nkwerre; Beauty Pageant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ADA NKWERRE CULTURAL BEAUTY PAGEANT

 

 

Adorned like a bride

Beautiful with pride,

Beyond the outside

Shiny like a galaxy.

 

A candle in the dark

Beauty, her trademark

Standing on her mark

Truer than fantasy.

 

Adorable like a queen

Marvellous to behold,

Lovely to be seen

Glittering like gold.

 

Delightful and hospitable

Calculative and understandable

Courageous and approachable

Supportive and reasonable.

 

Humble, tender and African

Succulent, prudent like a woman,

Moving the van

Friendly, welcoming not noisy.

 

Choosy not nosy

Busy not lazy,

Steady not floppy

Real to heal.

 

The pageant of culture

Reviving ethics and values,

A pageant of nature

Restructuring traditions and norms.

 

The pageant of peace

Rebuilding walls of chaos

A pageant of grace

Rededicating the oasis.

 

A performer and reformer

Reinstating and reinforcing,

A call to cultural service

Herald of peace and good tidings.
