Naija's Cry
Poetry and Plays for a Nation's Soul
A nation's cry is never silent-it echoes in our bones, whispers in our streets, and burns in the hearts of those who dare to hope. Naija's Cry is more than a book. It is a movement.
A blazing anthology of poetry and dramatic plays, this groundbreaking collection boldly captures the raw voice of Nigeria-its pain, its resilience, its resistance, and its relentless hope. Written by Obani Oluwabiyi Anthony Boyede Greenlyte, with soul-stirring contributions from talented young creatives, Naija's Cry shines a spotlight on the everyday battles of a nation confronting fuel scarcity, inflation, corruption, identity, tradition, and transformation.
