Momodu Ehiz is a poet who takes up on critical issues amidst
the various noises in our contemporary
art space.
He
is also a trained Communicator and mass communicator. Not running away from
practically getting involved in building the desired political example in our
society, Momodu has taken up political and union activities where he was the Assistant
Secretary General of the Student Union Government (SUG) of the prestigious University Of Benin (2017/18 session), his political views
led to the strong resistance against the anti-poor and anti-student fee
increment in the University of Benin. This struggle led to the management
unjustly rusticating him along four other comrades. His studentship was
reinstated after various agitation from active
quarters in the country and international community after just eleven (11) days
of the Senate and the university's
initial decision. Momodu as a Unionist stood out and defended students
across Edo State while initiating students oriented projects and programmes.
He
was the 2ND Runner-Up at the #WarOfWords
Season 2 (2013) and has performed in various poetry and art festivals
across Africa and Europe. He's the founder and festival manager of UNIBEN
Literary Festival.. Aside poetry, Ehiz is a politically conscious
individual who believes that Nigeria, with the right mind in leadership
position will be a place where every Nigerian can proudly call home.
