Legit.ng gathers that he opined that Buhari would win; stating that if Ndigbo fail to vote for the APC, they would lose in the political equation of the country.

According to Ojike, the south-east’s position in Nigeria’s political chessboard in 2023 would be determined by the forthcoming polls.

He urged Igbos not to repeat the “costly mistake” they made in 2015 when they failed to vote for Buhari, while expressing regret that the south-east geopolitical zone had the lowest voting strength in the country.

He added: “The Igbo nation should learn to collaborate with other zones to achieve their aim of producing Nigerian president in 2023.

“All hands should be on deck to achieve this noble objective, since the zone cannot do it alone.”

He said that Igbos would fail woefully if they did not vote wisely; noting that the choices they made in the past did not favour them.

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.

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
