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.
