Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League standings after beating Burnley 1-0 on Sunday, April 28, with two games now for them to end the season.

Burnley needed a win in this encounter so as to keep them away from the relegation zone and they kept Manchester City from scoring in the first 45 minutes.

Bernardo Silva had the first chance for Manchester City in the 7th minute after receiving a fine pass from Leroy Sane, but his shot failed to hit the target as Aguero scored the winner.

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.

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
