-Two former members of the NYSC donated six toilets and one septic tank to the community where they served.

- The two identified as Onajite Solomon and Isreal victor embarked on the project because of the inadequate toilet facilities they noticed.

-They wish to get the attention of UNICEF and hope to be engaged in the campaign against indiscriminate defecation in the country.

In what could be described as a praiseworthy development, two ex-corp members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), have given back to the society by building six toilets and one septic tank to the community where they served.

The former NYSC members identified as Onajite Solomon and Isreal Victor were both members of the Batch A, Stream 1 of 2017 and had completed their service in April, 2018. They, however, remained committed to completing the project which they had started.

Reaching out to Legit.ng, one of the duo, Solomon, revealed that the project had taken a good 10 months before completion. This according to him was because they had to solicit funds from well-meaning individuals who related with the good they were trying to do.

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
