EKO HERITAGE

A Poetic Journey Through Lagos - Where Culture, Hustle, and Heritage Meet
From the crowded streets of Ikeja to the tranquil shores of Epe, Eko Heritage takes readers on a spellbinding poetic voyage through the beating heart of Lagos. In this vibrant anthology, award-winning storyteller Chief Obani Oluwabiyi Boyede Greenlyte transforms the 20 LGAs and 37 LCDAs of Lagos into living, breathing verses each poem a window into the soul of Africa's most dynamic city.
A celebration of Lagos in its purest form.
This collection captures the pulse of a city that never sleeps - its markets bursting with life, its people burning with ambition, and its culture steeped in resilience. Whether it's the fishermen of Badagry, the artisans of Somolu, or the dreamers of Alimosho, every poem echoes the rhythm of survival, pride, and belonging.
A cultural bridge between past and present.
Written during a reflective stay in London, Eko Heritage is both a love letter and a historical map - reminding readers that Lagos is more than a city; it's a living story told in many tongues. Greenlyte's words elevate ordinary scenes into timeless testaments of identity, community, and hope.
Perfect for lovers of African poetry, cultural heritage, and city-inspired literature, this collection invites readers to walk the streets of Lagos through language that sings, celebrates, and heals.
