Here are photos from the formal presentation of the $100,000 (over N36million) NLNG prize for Literature to the erudite poet, Ikeogu Oke at Muson Centre, Lagos on Wednesday. Prolific writer, poet and journalist, Ikeogu Oke, rocked an unusual attire as he was awarded for winning the 2017 edition of the Nigerian Prize for Literature, with his “The Heresiad’’, after an intensive process of adjudication. Meanwhile, president Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Ikeogu Oke, for the award. President Buhari commended Oke’s passion and commitment to lifting the genre of poetry in the country; an art that many shy away from due to the required discipline and focus, reflective thinking and unique style of writing.

IFNOTGOD:I hope he also wrote the essay in the language of his culture... I hope the fabrics and materials he is using to represent his culture are products of his culture... I hope the computer or pen and paper he used in writing the essay are products of his culture... While other continents are advancing in science and technology,Africa is still obsessed with culture and religion... 341 Likes 34 Shares |

eezeribe: Shvt that trap! Acquiring knowledge doesn't mean he should discard his culture. After all the Arabs are doing so well in next-gen technology and architectural designs but they still maintain their culture - both in dressing and laws Dunno why Africans are their own biggest cultural critics 140 Likes 7 Shares |
