The Joke on us...............!!!!!

The first time I saw and heard Obii perform on stage, I was wowed.

Funny thing, that was her first on stage 

and she blew everyone away.

She won the Naija Poetry Slam that night in August 2012, 

and ever since then,

She has become a constant performer at WORD UP events.

The video below was one of the poems 

she did at WORD UP Volume 3.

It was one of my favourite poem at the event.

You need to watch the video and listen to the words, 

especially the last line, 

to realize, 

the joke is on us...!!!!

Naija babes that kiss words and make them dance #WordUpVol2

We normally say what a man can do, a woman can do it better.

Personally, if a man has done it, there won't be anything left for the woman to do :). 

But on a more serious note, 

when it comes to Spoken Word Poetry in Nigeria, 

some ladies have made the stage their domain.

Anytime and anywhere,

all they need is just one chance,

and they will kiss words and make them dance.

Check out Atilola featuring Oyinkansola in the first clip,

Obii (Naija Poetry Slam 2012 winner) in the second clip. 


They will blow your mind.
