Understand that Boko Haram Terrorists are nothing but a band of criminals - Buratai

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, has urged troops prosecuting the counter terrorism operation in the North-East to be wary of Boko Haram’s increasing misinformation propaganda.

In a Christmas and New Year Message to the troops on Tuesday, Buratai said that it was evident that the terrorists had been defeated.

“Thus, they have now resorted to employing propaganda in order to demoralise you by spreading false messages of strength and invincibility.

“It is pertinent for troops to understand that Boko Haram Terrorists are nothing but a band of criminals.

“Therefore, you must all brace up to clear and flush out their remnants.

“We have superior training, fire power and experience. We have a history of successes on the battlefield both at home and abroad, ” the army chief said.

He also urged them to reflect their superior training, fire power and experiences and bring them to bear in the ongoing operations.

Buratai thanked them for the good job they had done in 2018, but added that they must look to make greater progress in 2019.

He commended the troops for their gallantry, efforts and sacrifices.

“I congratulate you for your bravery, doggedness and loyalty in these endeavours,’’ he said.

The army chief urged them to maintain the momentum and remain steadfast, professional and responsive in carrying out their constitutional roles.

He said on his part, he would continue to ensure that their welfare and that of their family were given utmost priority.

On the 2019 elections, Buratai admonished officers and soldiers to remain apolitical and dedicated to their assigned roles.

“Let me use this medium to reassure you of the federal government’s commitment to your welfare with the requisite support for us to perform our duties.

“Also, the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari, has pledged his total support to the Armed Forces to bring all ongoing operations to logical conclusion.’’

He urged them to use the festive season which heralds peace and merriment for sober reflection and introspection.

“I enjoin us all to continue to pray to the Almighty God for the repose of the souls of our fallen comrades and for peace in our nation.

“We will not renege on our promise to cater for the wellbeing of the families of our brave fallen heroes,’’ 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
