Experiencing Interruptions?

Poetry Court

Imagine a court where everything is done using poetry. From the judge to the attorneys, accused persons, witnesses and even the Press. Interesting right? But that not even the point.

Have you ever thought about what Corruption would say if he had the opportunity to defend himself? Think no more, for in Poetry court, we are brought all of Nigeria's major problems to court to defend themselves. From Corruption to terrorism, religion, the press, loans and protest; yes, even protest that is seen as a problem in Nigeria will came to Poetry Court to defend himself

Poetry Court stories are inspired by true events, BUT, every story is carefully constructed for entertainment purposes and all characters and events are entirely fictional.

Having POETRY COURT screened at such a grand Award festival is a dream come true. It's a big achievement not just to me and the crew members, but also to African Poetry.
