 Youth in the Niger Delta region have been advised to embrace the use of poetry as a tool for advocacy and agitations while making demands from the government. An environmentalist and director of health of Mother Earth Foundation, Nimmo Basi, gave the advice. It was drawing the training of Oguni youth on the use of video documentary as a tool for advocacy. It was held at the Kensarua Memorial Park by an eight community in Kana local government area of River State. Globally, the blowout of performance poetry has made it a growing art form that can be used to propagate and express threats on many issues in the society. An environmentalist and director of health of Mother Earth Foundation, Nimmo Basi said people must use language that can change the world and every situation around them. One of this is the use of poems as poetry speaks truth to power and reveals corruption. Basi stressed the need for people to focus more on the use of motion as geographics, reading words especially poetry and prose in showcase and dangers of oil exploration. He added that it is a viable tool for nonviolent agitation. I believe company with cultural tools which is the bedrock of nonviolent protest or campaigning is the best method of all the methods and we may still see that things are still going wrong but things were having worse. People were not conscious of the fact that they have to protect their culture, protect their environment, protect their life because when they promote their culture, they're promoting the conditions that will make them more productive citizens. Basi also decried the crazy life expectancy of people living in the Niger Delta region, lamenting that it has fallen to 41 years. He noted that life expectancy in the region is on the downward slide because of the implications of oil exploration which pollutes the environment. You know the Niger Delta is one of the most polluted places on planet earth if it is ranked amongst the top 10, one of the top 10 most polluted places and here we have all the conditions that caught life shocks. The soil is contaminated, the water is contaminated, the air is contaminated. People just can't enjoy life, the Niger Delta people cannot live to the full extent that nature and God has blessed them to live because of this contamination. We got both oil spills, gas flares, soot and so on. They cause cancers, they cause breathing diseases like bronchitis, asthma, blood disorder, they cause kidney failure, they cause lung cancer, they cause birth defects, children are born with all kinds of defects. The utopinda cultural expressions such as music and poetry are pathos sources of strength in moments of crisis. According to them, there can be a ray of light in the darkness helping to increase the resilience of people when their rights are violated.
