Elections 2019: Why I want Lagos to remain APC state - Nollywood actress

- A Nollywood actress, Rachel Oniga, said APC should remain an APC state

- Oniga said the state should remain under the APC for the sake of continuity

- The popular actress said she believed Sanwo-Olu has the capacity to make things happen in Lagos state

A Nollywood actress, Rachel Oniga, on Thursday, March 7, said Lagos state should remain the All Progressives Congress (APC) state for continuity of infrastructure development.

Oniga made the remarks at the APC governorship campaign rally held at Ebute Meta, Lagos.

“Why I want l Lagos state to remain in the hand of APC is for continuity sake; and realistically, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the party governorship candidate is part of the continuity.

“When Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was the governor of the state, there was development, and after him, the subsequent governors have been performing excellently well.

“So, let there be continuity. I know Babajide Sanwo-Olu will perform well as the governor of the state,” she said.

The actress, however, appealed to Lagos residents to come out en masse on Saturday, March 9 and to exercise their voting rights, irrespective of their tribes.

She also advised the non-indigenes in the state to work together and support the ruling party to ensure the continuity and progress.

“Most people from other parts of the country have business and investment in Lagos state, so we have to work together to ensure that government provides more enabling environment for the people,” Oniga said.

Also, Dayo Israel, one of the APC chieftains in Apapa Constituency 1, urged the residents to vote for the party’s candidates in the Saturday gubernatorial and House of Assembly elections.

“I am passionate about the development in Lagos state.

“I want to see a better Lagos, better environment, transportation system and see young Lagos residents employed.

“I believe Sanwo-Olu has the capacity to make things happen in Lagos state.

“That is why we are mobilising people in the communities, actors, actresses, and comedians who are here to endorse Sanwo-Olu as the next governor of Lagos state,” he said.

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
