 </div><p>On #POTW poet of the week for this week, we’re proud to unveil <strong>Abiola Inioluwa Oluwaseun</strong>, a young, fast rising Nigerian poet.</p>
<p>Iniooluwa is the second child out of a family of three, sandwiched between a younger brother and an elder sister. Good looking, fair, slim and tall, Inioluwa is just what you would call a ladies man.</p>
<p>He is presently pursuing a degree in Communication Technology at the National Open University of Nigeria.</p>
<p><strong>Sam had this chat with him:</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>When and how did you start writing poetry?</strong></em></p>
<p>My first poem was released last year March 28, I got encouraged by Ayomide Festus when he discovered I had the ability in me, that was how my poetry life started.</p>
<p><em><strong>How would you classify your poetry? What inspires it?</strong></em></p>
<p>My poetry is inspired by nature, things happening in the world and things I experience each day.</p>
<p><em><strong>What is poetry to you? Why exactly do you write?</strong></em></p>
<blockquote><p>Poetry is like “fetching water out of a parched land”. To me it is bringing non-existence into existence out of non-existence.</p></blockquote>
<p>I write to create a better world, to develop myself and to help others improve.</p>
<p><em><strong>Many see poetry as a tool capable of bringing about change to the society at large, do you share this view? If you do, how can this be made possible?</strong></em></p>
<p>Poetry can correct the errors in the world, we have what it takes to build a new world, a world of peace, but we need to be recognized in this world at large.</p>
<p>Poetry should be supported more by the government in each country and continent. Poetry is like a new born baby who needs to be cuddled and cared for, lest she dies.</p>
<p><em><strong>Apart of writing poetry, what other passion do you indulge in?</strong></em></p>
<p><em>*Smiles*</em> I love music with the whole of my heart. Music is my life, its my first love. These days, I indulge in writing more than music, but I’m sure I won’t be existing today without Music… <em>*laughs*</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Do you look up to any poet in particular? Local and international?</strong></em></p>
<p>Well, I look up to James Ademuyiwa, KIS, Moses Opara and Wole Shoyinka. I love their writings and I guess we have the same goal.</p>
<p><em><strong>How do you view Nigerian poetry? How far have we fared as poets?</strong></em></p>
<p>Seun: Like I said before we get better day by day and we are creating a new world, but we’ve got much work to do to be fully recognized, I guess until all men are interested in poetry, we are yet to build a successful empire.</p>
<p><em><strong>Plagiarism is a big problem facing authors in general, not just poets alone, share with us a way through which you are combating this scourge?</strong></em></p>
<p>Anyone who indulges in Plagiarism either in or out of the poetry world does not have confidence in his/her ability. I guess the only way to overcome that is to believe in what we do and keep working hard.</p>
<p>I work hard and I believe in myself, that’s the only way I fight plagiarism.</p>
<p><em><strong>What do you do to make yourself better as a poet?</strong></em></p>
<p>I trust God in all I do, I work hard, I think poetry, I eat poetry, and in fact I swim in poetry. *Laughs* In summary I’ll say I believe in myself and I keep working to become an icon in the world of poetry.</p>
<p><em><strong>You’re undoubtedly one of the most published poet on the WRR website, you send in quality poems on a regular basis, what is responsible for this commitment?</strong></em></p>
<p>I tell myself every day that “The best way to receive the best is to give out the better, so I send my best poems on WRR because I believe my best poems are yet to come. I also believe in K.I.S and WRR.</p>
<blockquote><p>I believe WRR’s got a burning future and I look forward to being part of it when the time approaches us. I also want my poems to travel faraway.</p></blockquote>
<p><em><strong>What are your goals, what are you aiming to achieve in poetry? What is your definition of zenith in your travel through the path of writing poetry?</strong></em></p>
<p>My goal is to keep developing, help others develop and I won’t stop until poetry becomes a pillar for the world.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>The day I pick up my pen and I’m unable to make a sentence is the day I believe I’ve gotten to my climax. I hope one day I’ll be the best poet in the world. *Smiles.*</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><em><strong>Advice people who are yearning to write like you’re already doing?</strong></em></p>
<p>Well my advice to poets out there is “Believe in Yourself. Rule the world through your thought and don’t see anything as impossible”</p>
