2019: Atiku reacts to Bureau of Statistics report on unemployment, tackles Buhari again

- The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has attacked President Muhammadu Buhari on economy

- Atiku, speaking in Aba, said lack of prerequisite knowledge about economy by Buhari's team has put the nation in mess

- He also lamented the recent Bureau of Statistics report of over 20 million Nigerians losing their jobs

The presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has laughed off the competence of President Muhammadu Buhari's economic team, adding that their lack of prerequisite knowledge about economy has put the sector on downhill.

The Punch reports that Atiku, who stated this on Wednesday, December 20, during a town hall meeting in Aba, promised to use his wealth of experience to bring the country's economic back on track.

Legit.ng gathers that Atiku, addressing his supporters, said his presence is to motivate youth in the area and commend them for their role in the development of economy.

He said: “I am aware of your challenges because I am a businessman like you. Whatever that is your pain is also my pain. I face the same challenges you are facing, but the only thing we can do to change the situation is to change the government in power now.

“This present government lacks the understanding and the capacity to turn our economy around, nor promote the ease of doing business in Nigeria.

“We would ensure that policies that would encourage businesses to thrive in Nigeria are put in place.”

Earlier, Atiku had reacted to the recent report of Bureau of Statistics which claimed that 20.93 million Nigerians had lost their jobs under Buhari-led administration,

In a statement by his media aide, Paul Ibe, the PDP stalwart described the situation as terrible and catastrophic.

He said: "We expected a terrible job report, particularly with the comment on live television from the president’s spokesman, Garba Shehu, that President Buhari had ordered the statistician-general of the federation, Yemi Kale, to fudge the latest job reports.

“However, the job report released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Wednesday, November 19, 2018, is not just terrible, it is catastrophic. It shows that under the APC administration, a whopping 20.93m Nigerians have lost their jobs!

“To put this in perspective, the unemployed population in Nigeria is now twice the population of Benin Republic!”

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
