Nigerian man mocks E-money after Unilag denies issuing honorary degree to him

- The University of Lagos recently published names of people who were issued honorary degrees and music boss E-money’s name was absent

- This list came shortly after E-money claimed to have been issued a honorary degree at an event held at the university

- A social media user has shaded the music boss after the whole drama saying that has no verifiable source of income

When an individual is outstanding in their field, some top universities can decide to honour them even if they never had a formal education. For this reason, top authors and poets and artists have been honoured in such manner.

One of the prestigious universities in Nigeria, University of Lagos, recently published a list of people who were issued honorary degrees at the school.

The list was published on their Facebook page and Five Star Music boss, E-money’s name was obviously missing from the list.

This clarification from the school came shortly after the business man revealed on social media that he was issued a honorary degree by the European American University at an event held at Unilag.

Many people took this to mean Unilag had issued the degree and it was trailed by several reactions.

A Twitter user, Mr Aye Dee, took to the site to mock E-money and others who believed Unilag honoured him. According to the internet user, E-money has no verifiable source of income.

He tweeted: "Somebody who calls himself ‘emoney’, a person with no verifiable source of income, this person claimed he got an honorary Doctorate degree from UNILAG of all places and some actually believed it? "

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.

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
