He said: “I thank you very much. I extend my request of understanding and support. I assure you, I am working for the whole country.

“On bribery and corruption, it’s very difficult under this system but we are doing our best.

“We are trying to get the police and the judiciary to act very quickly on the presentations made in the people who abuse trust, and we are not going to let go.

“As long as we are here, your Majesty, all those who abuse trust will be taken before the law and we’ll make sure they are finished.''

President Buhari also recounted his achievement on economy and security, adding that his administration has made tremendous effort to improve the economy through agriculture.

He added: ''Firstly, the security of the country itself, then the economy in terms of employment for all able bodied persons, and then of course fighting corruption.

“We have made progress in all aspects and Nigerians that bother to make research or to watch news or to listen to news know that this administration has lived up to its words.

“The people in the northeast are the biggest witnesses of our performance, security wise.

“And on the economic front, I think the ordinary workers and farmers are witnesses, because we instructed the ministry of agriculture and youth development and the governor of the Central Bank to make sure that they have extended loans to farmers and the feedback we are getting is very encouraging.''

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.

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
