Nigeria is home to backward unprogressive fools - Burna Boy says after getting trolled by Nigerians

Recently, Legit.ng reported that singers Mr Eazi and Burna Boy were selected as choice musicians to participate in one of the world's biggest music event Coachella. After the news broke, it was also said that Damini Ogulu who is known as Burna Boy took to Instagram to call out the organisers of the program.

According to him, he did not like that his name was spelt out in small font. He demanded that Coachella make a correction to the way they wrote his stage name. In his address to the organisers of the music festival which is to start in April, the Gbona crooner called himself an African giant.

This statement sparked a lot of controversy amongst Nigerians who interpreted it to mean that he was proud and rude. It would appear that Burna Boy who was largely trolled by many did not take the insults very lightly.

He took it to heart or why else would the phenomenal Nigerian singer take to his page to call out many Nigerians and tag them as "backward, unprogressive fools"?

Burna Boy had a lot to say to Nigerians on his Insta story. After saying that they were backward and unprogressive, he also went on to say that the nation was full of people who were not mentally advanced.

According to him, regardless of their deficiencies, he intended to love them and fight for them. Burna Boy, however, had one or two things to say about Nigerian youths who 'key into his vision'.

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
