Surprising! Miss Congo's wig catches fire the moment she wins Miss Africa in Calabar (photo, videos)

Fire is one of the many guests that come uninvited to any party or event. This inanimate matter has no respect for persons, places or even time. It is no wonder that this unappreciated visitor deemed it fit to attend and sour a resounding celebration in Calabar.

This event had everything to do with the Miss Africa 2018 beauty pageant which saw in attendance several participants from different parts of the continent. Many guests who were rooting for choice contestants also attended.

The fire did not come during any of the proceedings. It waited patiently until the final moment when the winner of the beauty pageant was meant to be announced. Actually, the winner was already spelt out - Dorcas Kasinde, Miss Congo.

After hearing that she had won the coveted prize, Dorcas stepped forward, happy and excited, while her fans jubilated. As she was set to wear the crown, fire struck and dotted on her wig. In that one instant, her artificial hair went up in flames.

At first, Dorcas had no idea that she , or rather, her hair was on fire. She kept waving on and celebrating her win. It was the crowd and organisers that alerted her to the arising danger. Some people offstage climbed on to help her and others douse the fire.

With many hands on her wig, the fire was finally doused and everything returned to normalcy. Miss Congo went on to be Miss Africa, wear a crown and get the prize money.

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
