Bird used for research mistaken for being on juju mission killed in Rivers state

It has been said that nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance while knowledge is believed to be light.

On January 10, a Facebook user took to his profile account to reveal how a bird wearing rings around its feet was killed in a farm in his village.

The man simply known as Nwibe Dumle innocently shared the photo of the strange bell killed with the so-called rings on its feet on his page.

He captioned it: “This bird was killed today in my village farm, and surprisingly rings were found on two sides of it legs with different inscriptions on them each.”

After noting his mistake, he was quick to accept the fact that he is not an illiterate likewise his people but that maybe because they are not zoologist, the missed the purpose of the bird.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that popular Nigerian designer Toyin Lawani took to her Instagram handle to blast some mothers for their ignorance when they complained about their children’s physical attributes.

According to the celebrity designer, she disclosed that these women should have known better before blaming their children’s looks on their husbands.

The CEO of Tiannah Empire further disclosed that these mothers should have taken a good look at their husband’s physical appearance before walking down the aisle, so they don’t end up pouring undeserved attention on the children.

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.

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
