2019: Elders, indigenes of Okada community in Edo endorse APC

- A massive number of Okada residents and indigenes in Edo have pledged their support for the APC in the forthcoming 2019 polls

- This came after elders of the community in the Ovia northeast local government area of the state endorsed a National Assembly candidate, Dennis Idahosa

- The elders revealed that they chose to support Idahosa because they need a reliable representative at the National Assembly

Elders of Okada community, headquarters of Ovia northeast local government area of Edo, have urged people to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019 general elections.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the call followed the resolution reached at a town hall meeting held in Okada, near Benin on Wednesday, December 26.

Speaking on the occasion, the village head of Okada, Napoleon Imude, pointed out that they have resolved to endorse the APC candidate for the Ovia federal constituency, Dennis Idahosa.

According to him, the endorsement of Idahosa’s candidacy was because they needed a “strong voice” in the National Assembly.

Imude prayed for Idahosa to succeed at the polls, while warning the people against any act of betrayal in their resolve to support the APC.

According to him, “we have heard about you, Idahosa, for a long time. You are bringing something good. All Okada men and women should hear and we pray God will make you to win.”

Responding, Idahosa assured the Okada elders that the community would be developed if the APC emerged victorious at the polls.

NAN reports that Omosede Igbinedion, who is the serving lawmaker representing Ovia in the National Assembly, is an indigene of Okada.

Meanwhile, the APC candidate has told newsmen that the reasons for his endorsement were obviously for him to fulfill three things.

Idahosa said: “One of them is for me to be active in the House to be able to attract a lot of development to the Constituency. The second is to concentrate on human capital development and to be accessible to the electorate.

“My opponents failed woefully in all these issues. She is not accessible. She is not around when important issues are being discussed during plenary. I could sense that Okada people are fed up and made up their mind to vote her out of office. They found the messiah they needed in me.”

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
