PMB at 76: Why we celebrated President Buhari - Groups reveals

- A pro-presidency group, Buharists Hangout, has congratulated the president over his 76th birthday celebration

- The group said it gathered over 2,000 people, drawn from different tribal and religious background, to celebrate the president because of his leadership style

- It also attacked people who wished the president dead when he was sick in 2017

A group of Nigerians under the auspices of Buharists Hangout on Monday, December 17, gathered in the Federal Capital Territory(FCT) to celebrate and pray for President Muhammadu Buhari on his 76th birthday.

The News Agency of Nigerian (NAN) reports that over 2,000 people, drawn from different tribal and religious background, assembled at the Millennium Park for the event, tagged: ‘Love Feast and Prayer for Buhari at 76.’

Legit.ng gathers that the group felicitated with the president, cut a birthday cake for him and presented a birthday card and N283, 324 as donation to support his re-election campaign for the 2019 elections.

Uche Diala,who presented the gift to the president, said that the gesture was to thank God on behalf of the president and “tell him that Nigerians of goodwill wish him well”.

He said: “We have a president who had a health challenge, but God healed him, and he came out stronger for us.

“This celebration today is to felicitate and identify with president because he means well for our dear country.

“We want him to return in 2019 to complete the good work and that is why we donated this money, which is a contribution by ordinary Nigerians to support his campaign."

Femi Adesina, senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, who received the gifts on his behalf, expressed gratitude to the group for their “show of love and best wishes”.

He said that the event was a clear testimony that Nigerians, irrespective of tribe and religion, cared for their leaders.

He said: “For people to gather here on their own to mark the president’s birthday in his absence is an indication that they are proud of him.

“This kind of thing is not common in our political history, which shows that there are people who wish president well against all odds."

Also, Efe Williams, a co-convener and organiser of the event, said the event was “a sort of thanksgiving to God for keeping the president strong and healthy at 76”.

He said: “Many people wished that he should have been dead by now, but God has a better plan, which deserves celebration.

“Buharists Hangouts are not just APC members, but Nigerians that love their president and wish him well."

Williams, therefore, urged Nigerians, irrespective of tribal, religious and political differences, to always support and encourage their leaders.

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
