    I actually discovered your work from a friend who is also a poet, around the end of 2021in my 300level when we were asked to submit our project topics. I wanted writing on poetry as a medium for bridging national divide and She recommended I look you up. I must say, this work and The Wall and The Bridge are on top of my favorites list...... And ever since I have become a fan and your works makes one aspire to be better than what is perceived of them...
    Thank you🙌

    OMG! Mr Dike is an unsung hero. Too bad our system doesn't give due recognition to superior talent & cerebral property. Few that appreciate your extraordinary genius will honour & document your legacy in history.
    May posterity & history be kind to you sir. Greater New Nigeria 🇳🇬

    Today is the 1st of March 2023, Tinubu has just been declared president. I came back to watch this video to keep the fire of a great Nigeria burning in my heart.

    I am in the office and this poem was being played over and over again by Nigeria info FM... You are a great poet.
    We were able to know It was you through your voice!
    My colleague supported my assertion that you are one of the finest poets in Nigeria.
    He said If I have mentioned another name he will disagree.

    But I'd take out the "speak your truth" at the end. "My truth" is subjective, "the truth" is objective and cannot be changed or long hidden.
    Please stem this growing trend of the term "my truth" that can only fan the flames of identity politics and divide.. "My truth" is like a sprint it could make sense for a while but it will stem discord for generations to come, "The truth" runs marathons is the torch for honesty and the only path to a lasting solution.. sorry about my rant but those words really tick me off

      I take your point bro. But, in a sense, the truth must begin life as an opinion as well. But I take your point.
