Rapper Eedris Abdulkareem speaks on Zamfara massacre, likens it to 2016 hit movie Blood Diamond

A pioneer rapper in the Nigerian music industry has come out to express his reservations concerning the recent killings that have been going in Zamfara state.

The rap legend identified as Eedris AbdulKareem spoke on the violence and killings that have been reported in the state, which is fueled by the mining of gold and lead.

Sharing a photo post of a mine in the state, the rapper explained in his caption that a lot of Nigerians own shops in Dubai, with most of them involved in supplying gold in the country.

He called on the necessary authorities to go after the middle men who are in charge of supplying, adding that he hopes some political figures are among those that will be accosted.

He said: "The goodies in Zamfara that people are being killed for while a blind eye is being turned. Go to Dubai many shops are owned by Nigerians. There major business supplying this gold. While going after the bandits, go after those in charge of the sites, their Couriers and Middlemen in Dubai. The trail is long and the links strong. Hope the political will is there..."

Speaking further in the comment section of his post, the rapper noted that the mining business should not pose such a problem, but the illegality of the way it is being run, is responsible for fueling crisis.

He concluded by noting that what is happening in the state is a case of illegal mining in which some cartels are making millions of money off the blood of innocent people. He made a reference to the 2006 hit movie Blood Diamond, saying that a real life scenario of what happened in the movie, is what is being re-enacted in the state.

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
