We have not been paid feeding allowances for 4 months - Police in Yobe protest

- The mobile police officers on operation in Yobe state said they are unhappy that they have not been paid their allowances for four months

- The officers have threatened to protest to show their displeasure over the non-payment

- Abdulmaliki Sunmonu, the police commissioner in the state, however, said he is not aware that their allowances have not been paid

Men of the mobile police unit on operation in Yobe state are displeased with the alleged non-payment of the feed allowances due to them for four months.

The mobile police men gathered together besides UBA bank at Central Round-about on Tuesday, March 26, said they would soon take to the street and protest if they are not paid, Daily Trust reports.

An officer who wanted to keep his identity unknown said their allowances have not been paid since December 2018.

He said: “As you can see us here, we are from 26 squadrons posted to Damaturu for operation, from different states. Right from December 2018, they have not given us any allowances for reasons best known to them, and nobody is talking to us.

“Surprisingly, other operational personnel like military do receive their allowances promptly. We want the presidency to know that we are not being paid, and if they want to close the operation we will gladly return to our respective squadrons.”

Another officer also complained that the salary that he received was not enough to feed him and his family, saying his children school fees have not been paid.

He lamented: “Instead of using the feeding allowances to feed here, we feed ourselves from the salary and our families would be there at home because we cannot feed or pay our children school fees."

Abdulmaliki Sunmonu, the police commissioner in the state, however said that he is not aware of any non-payment issue.

He said: “Even if there is, they have not reported to us. I want to know this people. They may have problems with the banks but we are not owing them."

When asked if the payment of feeding allowances are up-to date, he said: “Yes, it’s up-to date. Thank you."

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
