Olayinka Samuel, a supporter of Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the Saturday, February 23 election, has refused to give beggars money because he believed they voted for President Muhammadu Buhari.

Legit.ng recalls that President Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) beat Atiku by polling 15,191,847 while Atiku had 11,262,978 votes.

Samuel took to his Twitter page on Friday, March 1, to share video of himself in a car telling a beggar that he would not give him his money.

No voter should be discriminated against because of their choice of candidates. Elections will come and go and intolerance should be discouraged during and after elections, Legit.ng understands.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Nigerians from all walks of life reacted differently to President Muhammadu Buhari's victory in the Saturday, February 23 presidential election.

While some celebrated the president's emergence others expressed displeasure over his re-election bid, which will last for another four years.

One of President Buhari's supporters took to social media to shed tears of joy over the president's victory in the election.

In another previous report by Legit.ng, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on his victory in the Saturday, February 23 presidential election and asked Atiku Abubakar and other candidates to accept defeat in good faith.

The labour congratulated the president in a statement on Wednesday, February 27, by its president, Ayuba Wabba.

The union also congratulated other candidates for their participation and urged them to adhere to the peace accord they signed before the election.

It said: “The Nigeria Labour Congress wishes to congratulate Muhammadu Buhari on his re-election as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, being the second person to get re-elected since the return to civilian rule twenty years ago.

“We also wish to congratulate other candidates for their participation and urge them to accept the outcome of the election, and adherence to the peace accord they had signed before the election.

“Mr President won in 2015 on his campaign promise to fight corruption, restore security and grow the economy. From his re-election, this may have boded well with the greater majority of the people who voted for him."

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
