Alibaba gives reason for the low advert rate of upcoming election, says there is no money

Comedian Alibaba has always been known to give his opinion on political issues as they affect Nigerians and Nigeria as a nation. Recently, the very observant man took to his Instagram page to talk about an observation relevant to the time as well as to give reasons that explains away the event.

Accordingly, Alibaba noted that, unlike other times, the upcoming elections have not been well advertised neither have parties publicised their candidates to the public so much as before.

Although several posters and billboards have been put up by many political parties whose candidates are vying for several positions, not much has been done in the media sector. Unlike before, adverts have not been placed on radio stations and television channels.

Observing and studying this pattern, Alibaba has founded a reason for the less noise made about the upcoming election. He summed up his reason, and then, took to his Instagram page to express it.

According to Alibaba, the reason for the decrease in adverts for this year's election is due to no other reason than lack of money. For the comedian, the money that was supposed to be used for campaign was in the Treasury Single Account.

Also, Alibaba was of the opinion that the issue of Bank Verification Number had blocked other paths where money was meant to be accessed. The very fact that politicians had not been able to access so much money to campaign for the election gladdened the heart of the comedian.

The post of the comedian has caused many to react. While some agreed with his opinion, others did not. See some of the comments below:

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
