Samuel Chukwueze was on song for his La Liga club Villarreal at the weekend after scoring the only goal in their win against Girona.

The Super Eagles winger busted through the Girona defence with a pass from Pablo Fornals, having only the keeper to beat and picked his spot to score a wonderful goal.

Chukwueze's seventh minute strike turned out to be the only goal of the match as the Yellow Submarines moved two points out of the relegation zone.

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.

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
