If I had the power to force every Nigerian writer to do something, it’ll be these:
Read widely, deeply, thoughtfully.
Learn to write essays on ideas.
Understand that this industry is yours and the only thing you have. Raise and protect its quality and integrity.
Thrilled to announce that I have been shortlisted for the Blessing Kolajo Poetry Prize (@bkpoetryprize) alongside other amazing poets whom I deeply respect.
Very thankful to the organizers, the readers and judges, everyone involved. Super excited to be a part of this history. ✨
Also, big congratulations to @poetic_siren on winning, and @Lamidird, and the other finalist. ❤️✨
