The minister of foreign affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, on Sunday, February 3, started a campaign tour of rural communities of Enugu state for the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Addressing All Progressives Congress (APC) faithful in Igboeze south local government area, the minister said that the president was laying a solid economic base for the country.

He said that the current economic challenges were as a result of the failures of successive administrations.

“Buhari is a good man; he is incorruptible. He wants to change the economy so that Nigerians will lead a better life. If you want a solid foundation for this country, vote for Buhari,” he said.

Onyeama assured the people of the area that his political structure, Kwusike family’ would put measures in place to lift the people from poverty.

He said that the structure was formed to transform rural communities. “We do not want to be like other politicians that only come to the electorate during elections,” Onyeama said.

A chieftain of the party in Igboeze south, Chinedu Okosisi, said that the president had displayed strength of character in the administration of the country.

Okosisi, however, said that it was sad that the president had been maligned by those who did not mean well for the country.

“We are here to market the candidacy of Buhari and to make the records straight. We have to mobilise support for the re-election of the president and other candidates of the party,” he said.

He said that in spite of the seeming difficulty in the country occasioned by previous administrations, “the reconstruction of the Nigerian economy is yielding results.”

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Onyeama said the southeast had a better deal in the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari in the February 16 presidential election.

Buhari was in Enugu on Thursday, January 24, in continuation of his campaign tour. A statement made available to newsmen on Wednesday, January 23, in Enugu by the special assistant on media to the minister, Sarah Sanda, said the president enjoys massive support in the area.

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
