Abu Bakr Sadiqq :
"The winner of the 2023 Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poets is Abu Bakr Sadiq for his collection “Leaked Footages.”
His winning manuscript has been published as part of the African Poetry Book Series by the University of Nebraska Press."
Now, pick Abu Bakr Sadiq, and you will find him as one of the top guys among his contemporaries in poetry, in Nigeria. How old was he when he won his Sillerman prize. At HCAF we call him SPEC LORD (Lord of Speculative Poetry). He writes it with great ease, and with masterly hands and sharp vision. Not many of you know that he is a master of spoken word too. Ask Hafsat Abdullahi, Havfy (the girl in the English class), the one Igala people are struggling hard to sn**ch away from HCAF 😁. You can take her, you can take them, that's why we exist: to bring them forth and give to the world. We are an incubation centre, we know. Take them and support them. It is our pleasure. We will never run dry until fathers and mothers stop producing children. Lol.
Please, buy Abu Bakr Sadiq's first book. You can Google his name to discover how journalised he is in formidable international journals, as well.
