Mandela Naija owa Leah 

Rutooro/Runyoro

‘Nangwa’ akagamba, ‘Obugabe tibugira kakwakulizo’

Kandi enjegere zisibire owamahe ohumwire ow’ekizinga kya Robben. 

‘Nangwa’ akagamba, ‘Amagezi nigaikiriza okutabingwa’ – 

Aine enkojo, baitu taine kutina, amaiso g’omuzaana wa Pakisitani. 

‘Nangwa’ akagamba, ‘Okwikiriza tikukorwa n’okuhambirizibwa’ – 

Iraka ly’omusibe, aine ensoni baitu aine obumanzi  omu Dapchi, 

Orumuli rwe tirulikwaka mpora omukiina ky’abamaani maingi. 

Nikwo, hanyuma yakasumi, iraka erirukugarukamu lyogu arukugweta – 

Mandela, Malala, Leah Sharibu – orumuli rw’abo

‘Nangwa, Prometheus akagamba’,  omurro n’ekizina, 

Okusanga ebihuru, orumuli nirumulika okurabamu Chibok na Dapchi, okwongera okumulisa ensi yona.
