Successful men do not mind spending any amount on luxury items and they usually expect to get the their money's worth.

However, a 22-year-old business man Lak Sira, got the surprise of his life after his fancy car, a gold-plated Lamborghini Gallardo, worth about £125,000 (N59.5m) went up in flames.

The car had reportedly just undergone a £10,000 (N4.7m) service before the unfortunate incident happened.

Sira revealed that he had been on his way to London with his girlfriend when she complained about smelling petrol. He put a call through to his mechanic who explained that since the car had just been serviced it was normal to smell petrol.

However the smell got stronger and his girlfriend told him to roll down the windows. They eventually pulled over and heard a loud bang before the car went up in flames.

According to Daily Mail, the young business man said: “I was on the way to London with my girlfriend for a night out as I just had the car back and wanted to drive it around.

'We had only gone one junction when my girlfriend smelt petrol in the car, so I called the garage's mechanic.

'He said 'the car has just been for a service and it is usual to smell a bit of fuel', so there wasn't a problem.

'So we carried on a bit further and my girlfriend asked me to open the windows, because the smell of fuel had got that strong.

'I stopped on the hard shoulder, between J5 and J6, to remove the roof but then the next thing was we heard a loud bang, it was like a firework going off, and the back of my car caught fire.

'I just had to watch helplessly as the car which I had worked so hard to buy went up in smoke.

'We nearly died, if I didn't pull over when I did I dread to think what happened. It was very frightening and my girlfriend is scared to get in any car with me now.

'I am meeting with my solicitor to see whether to take legal action as I can't believe its a coincidence that I'd only just had the car back from the garage."

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
