No reason was immediately given for the university authorities' actions.

Ogunleye said: “This is to inform the University Community and the general public that the underlisted students have been expelled from the University.”

The expelled and suspended students are no longer allowed within the university premises as the school resumed a new academic session on Saturday, January 5.

Ogunleye said the decision to take disciplinary action against the students was reached by a panel set up by the school.

He said: “We have the reasons with us but we can’t put it on the website and the public. They’ve all faced a disciplinary committee, having infringed on the rules and regulations of the university, as contained in the students’ handbook.

“The offences warranted expulsion, that’s why the panel expelled them.”

Legit.ng recalls that some students of Bowen University, Iwo, Osun state, staged a protest against the directive of the management that they must undergo a drug test.

The management is, however, insisting that the affected students must face disciplinary action.

The university’s registrar, Ogunleye, however, said the viral videos were doctored. He also reportedly refuted the allegation that 200 students were suspended for evading the drug test.

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.

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
