I call for INEC chairman's resignation

I call for INEC chairman's resignation - Comedian Igodye

On February 16, 2019, Nigerians woke up to the rude shock of the postponement of the presidential election in the country.

The news of the postponement was revealed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in the early hours of the said date.

February 23 and March 9 were the new dates chosen for elections across the federation. It goes without saying that the postponement angered many Nigerians who would have to re-work their plans to accommodate the change.

A number of people also travelled to their polling units while others had been prepared to vote on February 16, but that was not to be.

Several aggrieved Nigerian celebs took to social media to express their anger. However, Nigerian comedian Igodye, took his annoyance a notch higher.

The funny man was definitely not in smiles as he called for the resignation of INEC’s chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, as well as an apology from President Muhammadu Buhari, who had condemned the postponement of the general elections in 2015 when he was contesting against Nigeria’s former president, Goodluck Jonathan.

Igodye shared an old video from where Buhari had condemned the postponed election in 2015. In his caption, he also explained how the date change affected him and other Nigerians personally.

He wrote: “I CALL FOR #INECCHAIRMANRESIGN AND UNRESERVED APOLOGY FROM PRESIDENT MOHAMMADU BUHARI WHO ONCE CONDEMNED THE 2015 POSTPONED ELECTION.

I am astonished like many other Nigerians who woked up only to discover that INEC has postponed and fixed new dates 23rd for the elections. I feel this is totally unacceptable from an institution like INEC that had been given 185 billon naira to organise it's logistics prior to this day.

Federal government has the financial capacity to bear the extra logistics burden that will be incurred from this postponement, but what happens to the rest of us?Who have planned marriage ceremonies,parties,funeral programs and other social activities who have fixed several events and occasions on the new dates,we are now forced to make new plans,resulting in the loss of time,financial burden and psychological problems.

Unfortunately for me,I have proposed 23rd February as the auditioning date for my project Sort talent hunt at Delta State. After spending so much on publicity,venue and other logistics,I am now forced to change the dates, even the final that was to hold on 27th February will also be affected. This is the highest level of mismanagement and gross interpretation of corruption against the original Nigerians. This is the kind of frustration melted on Nigerian youths on a daily basis,when they are frustrated out of businesses because of electricity,high expenses of goods and services due to foreign exchange rate,unemployment that has led many to crimes and taking risks' through the deserts to seek greener pastures in strange lands;the negative options is created by the insensitive of Nigerian government,it shows they don't really care about their citizens. To even make this situation worst,the postponement was carried out at Night.So when did they realise that the logistics involved was not adequately prepared for? This was how the Goodluck Jonathan past administration postponed the 2015 presidential elections and we condemned it,we felt that with the change mantra that will be end of such maladministration. This is a national embarrassment and deliberate attempt to ridicule us a Nation. Amb Francis Agoda."

Meanwhile Legit.ng previously reported that music star, Wizkid, reportedly rejected millions from Nigerian politicians to perform at their campaigns.

According to @urfreshtv on Instagram, the singer was said to have declined the mouth-watery offers because 'he doesn’t want to influence the people of Nigeria for his own selfish interest'.

However, there is a new twist to the story as many social media onlookers are of the opinion that that decision of Wizkid does not go down well with his fellow singer Davido who has campaigned at numerous political gatherings. Most of the recent write-ups of Davido have been said to subtly mock Wizkid.

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
