Actors flaunting wealth on Instagram are misleading young ones - Dele Odule

- Veteran actor, Dele Odule recently spoke against actors who flaunt their wealth on Instagram

- In a recent interview, he stated that those who flaunt their wealth on social media are misleading the younger generations

- He added that some actors who worship their material wealth have no business being in the industry

Veteran actor, Dele Odule has shared his two cents about actors who flaunt their material wealth on social media. In a recent interview, the middle-aged actor stated that actors who flaunt their material wealth on Instagram are misleading the younger generations.

He added that actors who attach so much to material wealth have no business being in the industry and are not in the business because they have a passion for it but rather are searching for ways to make ends meet.

When asked about such actors, he said: "People like that are not in the business because they have passion for it. They are just looking for where to make ends meet. A trained actor will never run after material wealth. I am not saying that acting cannot open doors; it actually does.

However, a true actor will take material things as secondary; the priority is to get your message across to the viewers. The problem we are facing is that the industry is not sanitised. If there was a standard, many of those people you see who are all about flaunting material things on social media wouldn’t be in the industry.

What is the essence of going on social media to flaunt cars and other items? You would see many actresses dancing around on social media; even when they get pregnant, they flaunt it. Buying a car shouldn’t be a big deal but they make it seem as if it is.”

Speaking on the effect of such lifestyle, Odule, added that the behaviour of flaunting personal possessions is corrupting the younger generations who are gradually developing a negative impression about the industry.

"They are passing a wrong message to the young ones out there who will have a warped impression of the industry” he said.

In what appears to be a shade at some actors who follow politicians for monetary gains, Dele said: "Somebody who is serious-minded and creative would not run after any politician. That is not to say that actors don’t have the constitutional right to follow whoever they like."

Meanwhile, Yoruba actor, Gbega Akintunde popularly known as Burger, has passed on. According to actor, Kunle Afod who broke the news, Burger died after complaining of malaria.

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
