Lagos, Nigeria
A city of contrasts, a city of noise
A city of dreams, a city of hope
A city of hustle, a city of bustle
A city of beauty, a city of strife
From the shores of the Atlantic
To the lush green islands in the bay
Lagos beckons, Lagos awaits
A city of opportunity, a city of plight
From the towering skyscrapers
To the bustling markets and street food
Lagos never sleeps, Lagos is alive
A city of energy, a city of strife
But beneath the chaos and the noise
There is a pulsing heart, a beating soul
A city of resilience, a city of grace
Lagos, Nigeria, a city of passion
So let us celebrate Lagos, Nigeria
A city of endless possibility
A city of dreams and hope
Lagos, Nigeria, our home sweet home.

Public Announcement Challenge Winners
For the Public Announcement Challenge, writers were asked to work inside voices built for control. These were notices, warnings, and updates meant to inform rather than confess. The strongest entries committed to that form and didn't break from it. Corporate memos, formal government alerts, and internal policy language were held consistently, allowing emotion, fear, grief, or humor to surface indirectly through pressure rather than declaration. The following poems recognize the voice of authority, and let human feeling slip through despite all its rules and restraint.
