Ohaneze blast IPOB over condemnation of Igbo governors

- The Ohanaeze Youth Council criticised Nnamdi Kanu on his attack on some Igbo governors

- The group said Kanu has derailed from his ambition

- The IPOB leader was urged to follow the peaceful path of MASSOB

The Ohanaeze Youth Council and a coalition of Igbo groups have condemned Nnamdi Kanu’s verbal attack on Governor Okezie Ikeazu of Abia state and Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi.

Guardian reports that the leader of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) had in a broadcast condemned the two governors claiming they were sabotaging his agitation.

The national president of OYC, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said Kanu should not be listened to as he has derailed from his ambition.

He said: “The coalition of Igbo groups; namely World Igbo Youth Congress, Southeast Women Professionals and Igbo Students Movement had met with the Forum of BibeingaAgitators and resolved that the attack was laughable.

“It is laughable that Kanu is derailing from his Biafra agitation and now being sponsored by politicians to cause confusion and pursuing campaign of calumny against those who mean well for him.”

Isiguzoro called on IPOB to emulate the maturity and non-violence approach of the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), led by Uchenna Madu.

The group also condemned Adams Oshiomhole’s allegations that Ikpeazu has been collecting bail out funds without paying salaries.

He said: “We are shocked because our members who are Abia workers are paid as at when due, while no Abia or Ebonyi worker is being owed.”

“We unanimously state that zoning formula favours Ikpeazu and Umahi. The opposition parties in Abia and Ebonyi know that their candidates cannot win in these states, because there are no vacancies to be filled in the two Government Houses till 2023.”

Meanwhile, an Enugu based cleric, Prophet Anthony Nwoko, has openly apologised to President Muhammadu Buhari over the recent rumour by the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, that the president was long dead and that the person currently parading himself as Buhari is one Jubril from Sudan.

Legit.ng regional reporter in Enugu, Ikpechukwu Chinedu, reports that while addressing a world press conference in Enugu, a visibly angry pastor also apologised to the world, declaring that the president is still alive and will live long.

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
