- Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo state has said troublemakers are not welcome in the state

- The governor said his ternure will not allow the return of thuggery to Oyo

- Ajimobi said he would use the remaining time of his term security and peace in the state

Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo state has warned troublemakers to stay away from the state.

He said his administration would not allow brigandage return to the state, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

Ajimobi told newsmen in his office on Monday, March 11, night that the recent violent actions embarked upon by some hoodlums in the state would not be condoned.

The governor was reacting to the recent violence in the state which also led to the death of Representative Temitope Olatoye (ADP-Akinyele/Lagelu).

He said that the administration’s tenure would expire on Wednesday, May 29, and that it would not relent in ensuring the security of lives and property.

“This administration’s tenure ends on May 29. Between now and that time, we will ensure peace and tranquility which is the hallmark of our administration.

“It was eight years of peace, security, safety and development. We won’t allow Oyo state return to the days of brigandage. This is antithetical to development,” he said.

Ajimobi urged the governor-elect, Mr Seyi Makinde of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to follow the path of peace and encourage people.

“Even if we have done bad things in some areas, we have done many good things that outweighed those supposed bad things.

“The fact that we lost in the election does not mean we should throw away the baby with the bath water.

“I think there are good things he can learn from us and good things we will be ready to give him to take from. And for the bad ones, let him adjust and improve on them,” Ajimobi said.

He said that as a democrat, one must congratulate those who won and encourage those who lost to accept the loss.

The governor however, urged those who felt cheated and who had their facts to pursue such through legal means.

Ajimobi congratulated all those who won in the elections and wished them God’s protection and wisdom through their tenure.

The police command in Oyo state on Sunday, March 10, cautioned residents who were spreading falsehood and creating unnecessary tension in the state to stop.

The command had enjoined residents to go about their businesses and activities as the police would not condone any form of violence in the state.

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
