Man recounts how his sister was robbed of N600k by one chance operators and what the police did about it

In Nigeria, it is common to hear stories of fraudsters duping innocent people of their hard earned monies. In such cases, the victims are advised to report to the police, but it does not always have a favourable end.

A young Nigerian man identified as Flynn (@le_sther) on Twitter, took to the microblogging site to lament the woes his sister faced in the hands of one chance operators who beat her up before proceeding to steal from her.

According to Flynn, the incident happened in Abuja and the robbers beat her up till she disclosed her ATM pin. They reportedly withdrew N100k from her account then transferred N500k to another account. The matter was later reported to the police.

Things started to seem hopeful when the police contacted the bank and the receiving account was frozen. However, the victim was told that she had to get a court order and she paid another N100k to a lawyer to help in that aspect.

After two months, the court reportedly granted the order and the bank then said that the money was no longer in the account and the police remained silent on the issue. Eventually, the whole case had to be dropped.

This was obviously a money and time wasting ordeal for the victim and people on social media sympathised with her as they also proffered solutions on how to get the money back.

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
