Hi nairalanders and fellow poets, I'm greatly disappointed know that poets/spoken word artiste are not valued, acknowledged, recognised but are taken as unexisting.

Why are we treated this way? Most times our works are used but we are just seen as nobodies...why?
Why?? Why

Pls, in which field did Prof Wole Soyinka give his Inaugural Lecture? Just asking.

Because not so much ppl are interested in our work.
Wole Soyinka grew was known at a time when the whole world was focusing on literature

I'm asking based on the world today.
And how many poets gain recognition nation wide compared to other forms of art?
