In Nigeria, members of the second and of the emerging generation of poets can aptly be described as engines of socio-political and economic change. They have used poetry as a medium of encounter to decry the political tyranny and corruption of the nation’s political rulers, the kleptocracy of the fourth republic rulers and the environmental degradation of the Niger Delta region. These poets are committed to describing and irradiating the desperate political and socio-economic situation in their country.
