- Oba Akiolu urges Nigerians to give Buhari another chance and see how Nigeria will move forward

The oba of Lagos, Oba Riliwan Akiolu has said President Muhammadu Buhari is a man of his words and will be victorious in the forthcoming presidential election.

Akiolu spoke when Buhari and his campaign team visited his palace in Lagos Island on Saturday, February 9, after arriving the state in continuation of the presidential rallies ahead of the February 16 election.

The traditional leader, who noted that the body of traditional rulers in the state were happy to receive the team, said that they appreciated Buhari’s efforts as a highly respected person in Nigeria, NAN reports.

Legit.ng gathers that he assured Buhari that there would be a repeat of his 2015 electoral victory in the coming election.

Akiolu said: “Give Buhari another chance and you will see how Nigeria will move forward."

The monarch decried the rot that past administrations left behind in the country.

He said: “We should not go back to the past again. Now that you are here, Isha Allau, on Feb. 16, God will open the way for you. The best will happen to you."

Akiolu, the chairman, Lagos State Traditional Council of Obas and Chiefs, thanked the president for his achievements since assuming office and urged Nigerians to continue to support him.

Akiolu presented Buhari with a Quran as he prayed for him.

In his response, Buhari commended Akiolu appreciating the efforts of his government.

He said: “I appreciate all you have said and I assure you that I will continue to do my best. The promise we made through our party in 2015, our country needs to be secured and properly managed.

“If there is no security, we cannot do anything no matter your resources. We thank God our efforts have brought some fruits."

He said that his government was working hard to end importation of rice and ensure self-dependence.

Buhari said: “We can feed ourselves and the money we save, we can put it in infrastructure; we are building the roads, we are building the rails and we are building power.

“But the failure of former administrations in spite of enormous revenue they got to develop infrastructure is amazing."

He commended the Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Babatunde Fashola on his hard work and efficiency for keeping contractors on their toes, saying that he had done creditably well.

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
