Actress Mercy Aigbe reveals why she married ex-husband Lanre Gentry, says love mattered more than his poor spoken English

Despite the positive advantages that come with social media, some fans take negative use of the platform by using it to throw jabs at public figures.

An Instagram user identified dris.boy recently took to his Instagram page to shade popular Nigerian actress Mercy Aigbe.

The user had mentioned in his post that the screen diva should not fall among the lot of people that would shame anyhow for bad spoken English. This according to him was because she had gotten married to a man known for his grammatical blunders.

He said the actress’s husband Lanre Gentry, was always making grammar errors whenever he made an attempt at written communication on Instagram.

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.

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
