Another big international fight scheduled to hold is the light middleweight challenge duel between Nigeria’s Akeem “Dodo” Sadiku and the Republic of Benin’s Ekpresso Djamihou.

After the huge success of the 15th edition held in Ibadan in July 2018, the event organisers, FlyKite Promotions, believes it will be great to take it again to the Oyo state capital.

This will be the third time the event will be hosted in the Oyo state capital, where it held in March 2017 and July 2018.

Aside the two international bouts, 12 other boxers will also be on parade.

Billed to fight for the national super featherweight title is Ridwan “Scorpion” Oyekola who squares up against Taofeek “Taozon” Bisuga.

Another big bout will see West African Boxing Union (WABU) welterweight champion, Rilwan “Babyface” Babatunde makes his return to action after a 1-year break. He returns to fight Ganiyu “Energy” Kolawole in a challenge bout.

Hard-punching Taiwo “Esepo” Agbaje who was the best boxer at the 16 edition of the event, will battle it out against Michael “Holy Mike” Jacob in a national lightweight contest, while Adeyemi “Sense” Opeyemi and Sadiq “Happy Boy” Adeleke will slug it out in a national bantamweight challenge.

Three graduates of GOtv Boxing NextGen Search 3 will also be in action as Morufu “Oloke” Owolabi takes on Jamiyu “Sunshine” Akande in a national lightweight challenge while Issac “I Star” Chukwudi will be up against Ibadan-based Jubril “Terrible” Olalekan.

The best boxer at the event will go home with a cash prize of N1million alongside the Mojisola Ogunsanya Memorial Trophy.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Rilwan ‘Real One’ Oladosu picked up a whooping cash prize of N3 million alongside the Mojisola Ogunsanya Memorial trophy after emerging the best boxer at the 17th edition.

Oladosu put up a stunning show as he knocked out his opponent Hamzat in the first round to retain his National Lightweight belt.

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.

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 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
