Nigerian Poet Umar Yogiza Jr. Releases a New Poem Titled “When”

Browse By

You see a pupil trending in the

news and social media; preferring to

be beaten to stay in school than to be

sent home for not paying school fees.

And a woman breastfeeds free, a child

of another woman whose mother died at childbirth.

It gives me strength that the car called

Nigeria is not driven by discouragement

or lies or corruption or drugs or thieves.

Our inner incentive is undefeatable. We

shine and can shine without any source.
