Christian lady coronated as regent in Ondo replies man who called her a custodian of idols

A young lady named Falowo Moyinoluwa recently got installed as a regent in Ondo state. The duty of being a 'king' for as long as a next one could emerge was wrested upon her when her father passed away. Although she very well loved to take up the great responsibility of representing the people of Ibulesoro, Ifedore, there was one major problem: she is a Christian.

Moyinoluwa who was coronated as a regent on April 11, 2019, said she wrestled a lot with her identity as a Christian because there has always been a strong belief that traditional rulers wine and dine with ancestral gods.

In fact, many Nigerians consider kings and chiefs to have direct alliances with traditional 'idols'. Hence, Christians who choose to ascend the throne are regarded as infidels who have turned their backs on Christianity.

Falowo Moyinoluwa narrated how much she wrestled with this thought. But then, she also spoke of how she overcame her fear with the help of those around her and a deep reflection on certain tenets in the scriptures.

As if trying to make her feel guilty for ascending the throne of her late father, a man said this to her: "You cannot eat your cake and still have it. The throne is for the custodian of the ancestors and this throne is for Isese and it will remain like that.”

The new regent has taken time to reply to this man with powerful words. See her post below:

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
