Ronaldo admits he is not missing Messi, sends big message to the Barcelona star

- Cristiano Ronaldo has made it clear that he is not missing Messi and wants him to come to the Italian Serie A

- Before the Portuguese left Real Madrid, he battled for supremacy in Spain for nine years with the Argentine superstar

- Messi has never played for any other club since he began his career, and Ronaldo has challenged him

Portugal international Cristiano Ronaldo has explained that he will love the rivalry between him and Barcelona star Lionel Messi to continue in the Italian Serie A.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were rivals for nine years in the Spanish La Liga before the former Manchester United star left for a mega move to Juventus.

And while explaining that he is not missing Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo stressed that he wants the Argentine to join him in Italy.

When asked if he is missing Lionel Messi, Ronaldo said: “No, maybe he misses me!

“I played in England, Spain, Italy, Portugal, in the national team, while he is still in Spain. Maybe he needs me more.

“For me, life is a challenge, I like it and I like to make people happy.

“I would like him to come to Italy one day. Like me, accept the challenge.

“However, if he is happy there, I respect him.

“He is a fantastic player, a good guy but I do not miss anything here. This is my new life and I'm happy,'' the 33-year-old told Gazzetta dello Sport.

Ronaldo and Messi have been impressive this season for their clubs who are currently topping the Italian Serie A and Spanish La Liga standings respectively.

Since the year 2008, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have the Ballon D'Or award five times each, but Real Madrid star Luka Modric ended their reigns this year by winning the award in Paris.

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
