But come to think of it, most nigerians dnt fancy poetry that much, sad hunh?sad

anyways, is Donna K really the top female spoken word poet in Nigeria? Awesome cheesy


@MYND

lol, many are called, few are chosen. Those that will come will come, no need to write long grammar.


@Princesa

Hi dearie,
I know peeps here like to read stories and the likes, but i also know one or two peeps will be interested.
Nigerians do fancy poetry, u just have to locate those that do, and this is part of it, using nairaland to get the word out to them.
If u doubt whether Donna K is a top female spoken word poet, then come see for yourself to remove all doubts.

Adverts / How To Use Spoken Word Poetry To Increase Brand Visibility And Acceptability..!! by olulu(m): 1:02pm On Mar 20, 2013
Nigeria is blessed with abundant resources, both human and material but we do not recognize or utilize them.

At i2X Media Company Limited, we have discovered the power inherent in poetic youths. We give them a platform to express their views and opinion in a creative and entertaining way.

Like someone once said;
writers write,
singers sing,
teachers teach,
painters paint,
drivers drive,
runners run,
but what do Spoken Word Poets do? They “Spoke.” smiley
Well, more like, they talk poetically and powerfully. They are capable of exerting influence a Governor or President might struggle with.

But why Spoken Word Poetry? Well, why not. Check out links of some of our poets' performances at different events we have organized, and you will get your answer.

Spoken Word Poetry is an evolution, it’s an emerging art, and its gaining momentum in Nigeria and West Africa.

As a major promoter of Performance Poetry and Spoken Word activities in Nigeria, we are passionate about the Art as a genre of entertainment, a tool to increase literacy level, and a means of communication among people across the globe.

We are the organizers of WORD UP -the biggest Spoken Word Poetry Event in Nigeria.

In August 2012, November 2012 and February 2013, three editions of Word Up were held providing the much needed visibility for Brands we partnered with.

For the rest of the year, we will be partnering with international poets from across the world, offering workshops to empower poets and aspiring poets on how to write and perform good poems as well as turn it into profit.

This year 2013, we will also be starting a performance poetry competition that allows poets from all over Nigeria compete against each other.

What makes this exciting is that the Brand that partners with our team will receive leverage as the entries will be centered around the brand’s values and other such matters they might want promoted online.

The competition will be both online and on stage involving video presentations, article writing and Performance Poetry. It promises exciting content and results for brands that partner with us.

There will be cash prizes for the top 3 poets and partners can offer additional gifts of value to the winning poets.

Spoken Word Poetry can be used to increase Brand visibility and acceptability in any or all of the following ways:

Branding Opportunity across all touch points.

Advert placements in our DVDS sold across the country, and around the world.

A hall full of people applauds as their eyes stay glued to the stage. There is anticipation in the air. The excitement is palpable. Adding the needed colour and glamour all across the hall is the Brand behind the excitement. The people lose their voices as “he” steps on the stage. They influence, persuade, tweet, retweet and share their experience over social media, while others try to make their way to the venue even as your brand meets them at every point. They can’t wait to hear the sound of “The internationally renowned spoken word artiste,” on the shores on Nigeria for the first time. They can’t wait for YOUR BRAND, to make this happen.

Okay, I'm considering setting up an amala joint too. I can really make succulent amala.

u can't go wrong with food business. well, if u get the location right and awareness right.

Larry-Sun:

Yeah, I might...if some loose change remained.
But, publishing people's works would give me pleasure. Imagine the smell of ink on papers, the feel of reams, the sound of machine...creation. Oh! I'm finding myself in that worrld already cheesy It'd really give me pleasure.

Never let go of your dreams, no matter how silly or impossible they may sound or look, they are achievable.



Cuddlemii:

Lolz, we all have dreams and desires.

But, you must also be a man and realist first!

If not, the world would be without sin and everyone would be rich.

Have your printing press, a simple and productive one. Nothing to fancy, focus on the quality of work.
Get another small business that would mature overtime and remain relevant over the years. Something that will appreciate.

****consider me your bad realistic conscience****na boredom****

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
