The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) says it is optimistic that the recent increase in the salaries of police personnel by the federal government would help check corruption in the organisation.

NANS national public relations officer, Bestman Okereafor, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Monday, December 10, that the move was in the right direction.

Legit.ng gathers that he, however, urged the federal government to look at the possibility of insurance cover for police personnel against accidents and sudden death; especially those in special units and formations that work on the field, day and night.

According to him, no benefit is too much to be given to these gallant officers, especially those who carry out their duties with sincerity and dedication.

“NANS wishes to specially commend the federal government especially President Muhammadu Buhari over the decision to upwardly review the monthly salaries of police personnel.

“NANS considers this as a progressive step. We have no doubt that the increase in wage will further enhance commitment and dedication in the Force.

“NANS is also optimistic that the move will greatly reduce corruption and bribery in the organization, in line with Buhari’s anti-corruption campaign,’’ he said.

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
