Stefn AnyatonwuSylvester Biography

Stefn Sylvester is my Pen Name. But my real name is Stephen O.J. Anyatonwu. From Abia but was born in Kano State. He had a flair for poetry. Started writing at a very tender age of 5 to 6yrs old. Wrote his first real poem when I was 15. Stefn Sylvester was so much overjoyed by the positive commendations it yielded. Which happened to be the Spring Board that launched him into full-time writing. His love for poetry cannot be over emphasized. Stefn has a strategic mind and is constantly innovating. Dealing with failure is easy: Work hard to improve. Success is also easy to handle: You've solved the wrong problem. Frankly, Stefn Sylvester don't think you could have driven a needle up his sphincter using a sledgehammer... He thinks he is SUPER MAN.)

The Best Poem Of Stefn AnyatonwuSylvester

I Am Xenophobia

I am Xenophobia
I hate my brother
I’ll untie mother’s wrapper
I’ll break father’s
Walking stick
And stick(out)
My head from the South
Laughing to my delight
While he stumbles in daylight.

I am Xenophobia
I envy my brother
Who walked from the West
To come rescue me
From the Whiteman’s grip.
My brother
He fought for me.
A war I couldn’t win.
My lean Uncle Mandela
He housed
Under the umbrella of Brotherhood.

But that’s history
His folklore
His old story.
Today I rule the Whiteman
He helped me dethrone.
My brother from the West
Have I vowed to waste.

I am xenophobia
My brother I hate.
He’s better than I am
But my Yellow Land
Is better than his Oil-blackened
Benue and Niger rivers.

I am Xenophobia
I am Xhosa
I am Zulu
I am a black fool
Lazy I am
Envy my lazy am-
Strengthens against my brother.

I am Xenophobia
I hate my brother.
