Lady bricklayer throws Nigerians into a feat of heated reactions

It is a well-known saying that what a man can do a woman can do better. Same seems to be the case of a young lady whose choice to work as a bricklayer in order to fend for herself is both a challenge to some men and a topic for discussion especially on social media.

Although almost nothing is known about the young female in question, it is believed that she is a Nigerian who just wants to make a living for herself instead of idling away or indulging in any form of social vice.

Her stance and doggedness to succeed in life through hard work are a recipe for viral discussion for Nigerian social media subscribers.

While some feel that the young lady's situation is nothing new and that this is not a gender war, others appreciate her for being an example of the dignity of labour. This set of Nigerians believe that among other similar cases, it proves that the narrative is being changed in terms of what jobs are peculiar to either males or females.

Some other Nigerians on Twitter believe that this is just a make-believe, adding that this is just a show that does not deserve retweeting and discussion.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian man identified as Zaddy Yo (@el_treaph_) on Twitter had taken to the microblogging site to celebrate hardworking women after he spotted a female danfo driver for the first time in Lagos.

He shared snaps from the encounter as he revealed that he wished he had taken more. In his caption, he wrote: “First time I saw a woman driving a Danfo ,I wish I got a better SHOT . .. “Big shout out to all women , hustling to make there own money .Instead of sitting idle at home.”

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
