More photos of literary icon Pius Adesanmi who died in Ethiopian Airlines

On March 10, 2019, an airplane crashed in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, leading to the death of 149 passengers and eight crew members. A Nigerian professor and literary icon was also counted among the numbers of people who died. This death of this man named Pius Adesanmi shook many people to their core.

Indeed, Pius Adesanmi's death dealt a heavy blow to the faces of many Nigerians. In fact, the governor of Kogi state Yahaya Bello could not help but admit that the deceased who hailed from his state was a significant loss to the people within the community.

Recently, Legit.ng created awareness about the last post made by Pius Adesanmi on his Facebook page before he went on that plane to die. The caption which he had written was quite a cryptic one that have caused many to wonder if he had the queasy feeling that he was going to die.

It would appear that this last post was not the only encrypted post made by the literary icon and professor of a Canadian university. On February 28, Pius Adesanmi who has celebrated earlier took to thanking everyone for wishing him a happy birthday.

In the post, he revealed that he survived a fatal car accident in 2018 that caused him to believe that God had spared him for a particular purpose. He prayed that those who had wished him well would experience good news just like he was bound to.

See the post below:

"The day after... I've written so many "eniyan l'aso mi" updates after moments like this. I'd sound like a broken record deploying that trope yet again. So, I am just going to say thank you for making my day memorable yesterday. Like I said, this birthday holds a special significance because I wasn't meant to see it. Nearly a year later, I still wake up in the dead of night, shivering and shaking because of nightmares, of reliving the scene that nearly took me, of remembering those who didn't make it.

"So, I thank you for all your kind words yesterday, whether here, in my inboxes, phone, on your own Walls. My spirit tells me that God spared me because He has decided that 2019 will be the year of drip drip drip of good news in my life. And the year of drip drip drip of good news in your lives too. May we all be here to celebrate the drip drip drip of good news in our lives. Thank you. E seun gan ni o."

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
