Omoni Oboli schools an online beggar who asked for N1k to feed

Social media has always been the fastest and most efficient link between celebrities and their fans. In a recent post on her Instagram page, actress Omoni Oboli used the platform to school online beggars.

The Nollywood screen diva recently took to her social media page to post a screenshot from the comment section of an older post. In the screenshot, the lady had posted a comment in which she had requested for N1,000 from anyone that cared to help on the actress page.

Oboli, however, replied to the lady’s comment. She advised the young lady in a long response where she revealed that this was not the first time she had spotted the lady’s comment about needing money. The actress went on to add that if the lady had money to subscribe for data, she could as well gather every naira she had previously received, and use it to start a small business.

She continued in the screenshot by using her own personal experience to motivate the online beggar. Oboli revealed that she had once sold fairly used clothes and worked as a food vendor in Lagos. She called on the young lady who she had described as young and healthy not to waste her life as a professional beggar.

The Nollywood actress continued her admonishment to online beggars in the caption that followed the screenshot which she posted on her page. She bared her mind saying that when begging becomes a lifestyle, it gets worrisome. She also narrated the old days when beggars were disguised as young and neatly dressed guys. The disguised beggars often approached unsuspecting people with the claim that they were short of transport fare.

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
