Nigerian lady finds dollar notes inside 'okirika' bag she just bought (photos)

Fairly used items are items that are re-sold after they have been used by a previous owner. At times the previous owners are the ones who put up their used items for sale and other times fairly used items from different people are sold in bulk.

In some cases the fairly used items or okirika as Nigerians call the items that are sold in bulk also contain new items that were disposed by factories after making minor mistakes in manufacturing it.

There are times that some of the fairly used items bought at okirika markets have marks that shows the identity of the previous owners. This happens when new owners find things like name tags, notes, an old stain, a business card and more.

A Nigerian lady who had bought a fairly used bag at Ogba market in Lagos state has found something that the previous owner of her bag left. The lady identified simply as Lucy found old dollar notes in the bag.

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.

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
