Anxiety among teachers, parents as madman, hoodlums take over Ekiti school

- A lunatic has taken over AUD Primary School, Irona, Ado-Ekiti in Ekiti state

- The lunatic chases pupils and throws stones at teachers anytime he sees them within the school premises

- Apart from the lunatic, who occupies about 10 classrooms, burglars and Indian hemp smokers are said to have made the school their hideout

A madman and hoodlums has sparked anxiety among teachers and parents over the safety of the pupils as they have occupied AUD Primary School, Irona Ado Ekiti state.

The Punch reports that apart from the lunatic, who occupies about 10 classrooms, burglars and Indian hemp smokers are said to have made the school their hideout.

It was learnt that the lunatic often chased the pupils around and threw stones at their teachers

Some of the teachers speaking on condition of anonymity, claimed the development had forced some of the parents to withdraw their children from the school.

Mrs Taibat Yusuf, the headteacher, who said activities of the lunatic and suspected criminals were constituting threats to learning in the school, appealed to the state government to intervene.

Yusuf said: “We are calling on the state government to help us remove the lunatic from the school compound because of the threat he poses to the pupils and teachers.

“The lunatic chases our pupils, throws stones at teachers and threatens them anytime they are in school. Teachers and pupils are always gripped by fear that he may invade their classrooms at any time and this won’t make them to concentrate.

“Our school compound has been turned into a den of rapists, Indian hemp smokers and other criminals and this has led to the withdrawal of many pupils from the school.

“Besides, we want government to renovate the collapsing fence which gives easy access to the lunatic and the hoodlums. Many of our classrooms are dilapidated and the school also needs a gate.”

Alhaji Olorunkemi Ogunjobi, an alumnus of the school, said: “It is a pity that my former school has become the home of a madman and criminals. We want the police and civil defence officers to come here and arrest the lunatic. Besides, the government should employ security men to guard the school.”

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
