Nigerians react to Burna Boy calling them 'backward unprogressive fools'

All hell has broken loose on social media following Singer Burna boy's most recent statement where he boldly proclaimed that Nigeria is home to the largest group of 'Backward unprogressive fools'.

It all started when the Gbona crooner was selected alongside Mr Eazi to perform at the Coachella show set to hold in April 2019. Rather than be proud as one of the only two Africna artistes selected to perform, Burn Boy complained that his name was written is small print as opposed to bold fonts like major headliners of the show.

Many Nigerians came for him saying he was being unnecessarily rude and proud and should pipe down as being featured in Coachella is enough recognition.

Rather than celebrate, Burna Boy, took to Instagram to call out the organisers of the event which led to him trending on several social media platform on January 3. Some Nigerians believe that his dramatic reaction was an attempt to gain the attention of people who will be attending the event so they can look out for his performance.

However, even though it seemed like he was doing all that for publicity stunt, the singer seemed to have broken the camel's back with his most recent statement where he called Nigerians 'back unprogressive fools'

In a now deleted post shared on Friday, January 4, Burna Boy wrote, ”Don’t worry, I know for a fact that my own country, NIGERIA is home to the largest number of backward Unprogressive FOOLS.

I will still fight for them because they are not mentally advanced enough to fight for themselves. They will Forever have my Genuine undying LOVE.

To the few proud Young AFRICAN Intellectuals who will not conform to whatever bullshit they are given. you are the Only Hope of AFRICA. God bless you all.”

His statement got many Nigerians firing at him and many regretting that they bought his really expensive ticket to his recently concluded concert.

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
