Love chills erupt as video of soldier who pays surprise visit to dad after 6 months of being away goes viral

Being away from home for a long time is one of the saddest, emotional things that can ever happen to someone. But even more, homecoming can be even more emotional and gripping. A soldier working in the US army decided to give his dad a surprise visit after he had been away from home for a while. The event that went down has been giving many people the shivers

The young soldier identified as Joshua Jeffries on Twitter had been away from his US-based home for six months. When he did come back home, he decided to first visit his father. But no, he just did not want to show up at home and say, "Holla, I am back."

He wanted to do something extra. Hence, he decided to give his dad a surprise visit at his duty post. The young Josh trailed his father at work, followed him as he got down from his service bus and walk towards where he was supposed to work.

It was while his dad was moving that Josh called his father's name from behind. The alarmed dad jolted and turned around only to see his beloved son in his army uniforms.

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 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
