WORLD POETRY DAY 2019

As we celebrate 2019 World Poetry Day in Nigeria, prolific writer/poet Akan Udofia and award winning spoken world poet Philip Asaya, reflect on the impact of poetry in Nigeria.

TV360 is Nigeria's first exclusive online television news channel based in Lagos. Our focus is news. There is no limit to the kind of news we cover. Our goal is to keep the people informed at all times so that they could use the information we disseminate to form important opinions,take important decisions and ultimately help to build a better and democratic society. We strongly uphold the long established journalistic principles of TRUTH, BALANCE and FAIRNESS in our reportage because we believe there is no one side to a story.

WORLD POETRY DAY 2019

"When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses." ~ John F. Kennedy

" Poetry is thoughts that breathe and words that burn" ~ Thomas Gray
