Scheduled to hit the Amazon online stores on today, the book will become available across UAE stores by 1st March 2021 to compliment the release of the first of its kind poetry album. Oshodin's poems have been featured in several magazines and newspapers globally and have gained rave reviews from top Literature Professors in Europe and America. The book comes in paperback as well as e-book format and is for US$ 9.99. A POET WHO DIED BY HIS POEM is a 214 pages collection of poems accompanied by powerful quotes from the author himself, making it the first of its kind. Trailing on various poetic conversations from Global Politics, Love, Hate, Emotions, Family, Global Events, Religion, History, Education, Romance, Activism, Justice, Culture, and Art, the compilation was nurtured out of decades of social frustrations penned as a form of relief. The author's own experiences are expressed vehemently through every narration while taking readers on a journey of awakening. Attaining rave reviews prior to its release 'A POET WHO DIED BY HIS POEM is expected to provoke dialogue on topical issues while invoking change. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Godspower Oshodin is a multi award-winning prolific writer with over a thousand poems in his repertoire. His poetry has been featured in dozens of newspapers and magazines across the world. He was invited to compose the official poem for Nigeria's 55th Independence Day. He is the author of 'THE REPORTER' and has co-authored 'Global Seal of Integrity' an annual list of global accord with Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Pope Francis and Late Nelson Mandela as recipients. In 2007, he founded the 'Young Talents Initiative', an organization that drives Nigeria's emerging talents across diverse categories. As a United Nations Online Volunteer, he pushes boundaries on health and education issues faced in Nigeria and wider Africa. He was recently appointed as National Director Media and Publicity by Atiku Care Foundation. 'I chose to launch my book in Dubai, because of the poetry culture embodied across Arabia. My time in the city, exposed me to its heritage and traditions, making it an ideal location for global release. My ambition is to create a footprint for young African writers to collaborate with Arab poets. African literature isn't fully exposed in the Middle Eastern, this is an opportunity to develop and export literature culture exchange. I'm a fan of High Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid's Nabati poetry. I've read several of his compositions in great awe; the gravity of his work, opens you up to self-reflect and to face your inevitable reality' said Mr. Oshodin, Author & Poet. 'A POET WHO DIED BY HIS POEM' is a milestone project with poise to bridge gap wedged across modern literature culture by using poetry to connect with the current individual globalism. Administering wider engagement across creative boundaries, Mr. Oshodin is collaborating with Africa's Afro-beats genius, Victor Alfred a.k.a Vstix, to produce the first of its kind musical poetry album. Scheduled to launch in March 2021, the 15 tracks album will feature extracts from his new book and will lend voices of various poets to deliver a unique compilation in one body of work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh8iTFdL5XY Source: https://menafn.com/1101523530/Nigerian-poet-Godspower-Oshodin-chooses-Dubai-to-launch-his-highly-anticipated-poetry-book

Ok... Meanwhile In a lawless country like Nigeria, both criminals & the govt are lawless. The govt looks the other way when criminals offend & quotes the constitution when upright citizens defend themselves or take vengeance on criminals. Self defence is a natural law; no government can stop it. Question: What kind of president would invite foreign invaders into his country to kill his own citizens? Answer: President Buhari democrazy has turned crazy & mad in Nigeria. The govt is complicit & will not protect the people.Who will save Nigerians from Nigerian government? Where’s Vice-president Yemi Osinbajo? Where’s vice-president Yemi Osinbajo while Fulani killer herdsmen are defiling Yorubaland, the land of his ancestors? Yemi, where are you? Yoruba blood is flowing on Yoruba soil. Haven’t you heard of the atrocities being committed by Buhari’s kinsfolk? What is happening in southern Nigeria today shows why the country must be broken up. Nothing can bridge the gulf between the south & the north. That’s why regional govt was agreed at Independence. Forget politics, politicians, Buhari & the Obas. Break the shit hole country now. Out of three hundred ethnic groups in Nigeria, only the Fulanis are rampaging all over the country, behaving in the most despicable way, killing people like primitive savages. They should all hide their heads in shame. Yorubas are not invading northern states and killing northerners in their land. Neither are the Igbos wrecking the havoc in the north. But Fulani herdsmen killers with no respect for human life are invading the south on a killing spree with the full support of Nigerian government By now IGP Adamu should’ve arrested Seriki Saliu & his killer children for the atrocities they committed including the killings of farmers in Ibarapa & the extortion of millions of Naira in ransom payments. Let’s see if the Fulani government will convict Fulani felons in Yorubaland. THE KILLINGS, RAPING AND KIDNAPPING MUST STOP NOW!!! - Oodua Action Movement 5 Likes
