A Performance Poetry, Spoken Word

was held on 14th of October 2012 

in Gbagada, Lagos, Nigeria. 

As usual it was a wonderful poetic experience.

We had a poet from ibadan, Street Poet, who came to show us what Ibadan has to offer poetically .

Lumynos made us sing along that, "this love no be lie o, no be wayo, no film trick, girl it's for real......" (watch out for the video).

Atilola, Holyblaze, Bob Ekat, Tofarati, Yommy Bishop, Lahde, Ajibola, Opemipo, Faidat and many others were all on fire. 

Then Efe Paul and his wifey did a poem together, 

and men, 

we were blown away!!!

It was an awesome evening and it was indeed a day to remember.
