Abstract

On behalf of the staff and students of Godfrey Okoye University, I welcome each of you to the Nigerian Students Poetry Prize Award organized by Poets in Nigeria and hosted by our beloved university, Godfrey Okoye University, popularly called God’s Own University. I welcome you to a university, where the Vice Chancellor is an unabashed lover of poetry. I welcome you to the home of poetry in Nigeria. I welcome you to Godfrey Okoye University. I have often asked myself why I love poetry more than any other colour of literary expressions. Also I have no slightest idea when I fell in love with it. All I know is that I am the product of a love affair between two fantastic lovers who got tied in a nuptial arrangement called marriage. This couple who happened to be my parents were great musicians and dancers. Poetry being the mother of music could have passed through them to me.
