The Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi ll on Sunday, April 7, called on the federal government to use local hunters to tackle the menace of kidnapping and other crimes bedevilling some states in northern Nigeria.

Emir Sanusi made this call during a meeting with leaders of hunters in Kano organized by Kano Concerned Citizens Initiative (KCCI), said Kano had tested the method noting that it worked perfectly.

Represented by the district head of Doguwa, Dan Amar of Kano, Aliyu Harazimi, Sanusi said in the last four years, Kano South has not record any case of kidnapping or armed robbery.

According to him, “When the issue of kidnapping became worst in Falgore forest in Doguwa local government, we invited leaders of local hunters and formed a special patrol team comprising police, soldiers, civil defence and local hunters.

“We succeeded in destroying six kidnappers’ camps inside the forest. It is exactly four years after the formation of the team and we have not recorded a single case of kidnapping in the area.”

Emir Sanusi suggested that the federal government should form similar team to fight kidnappers in states like Zamfara and Kaduna states respectively.

Speaking at the event, Kano state governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, assured that his government would do everything possible to ensure safety of lives and properties of all residents in the state.

Represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji, he said if Kano is peaceful, the entire northern Nigeria and West African region would be peaceful.

He added: “Kano state government is ever ready to collaborate with any group to promote peace in the state. The present administration will soon unveil series of plans that are geared towards ensuring peace and harmony in the state.”

A lecturer at the Bayero University Kano (BUK), Malam Bala Muhammad, advised federal and states’ governments to introduce stiffer punishment for kidnappers, suggesting that “a death penalty should be applied on any person or person found wanting in kidnapping cases.

Muhammad said: “Whoever is found guilty of committing kidnapping should be killed and government should take this issue with all seriousness.''

He urged all businessmen from northern Nigeria especially those conducting their businesses in Abuja to adopt a new strategy of travelling to Abuja from Kano by contracting the services of security personnel to start escorting them to Abuja in a special convoy.

According to him, “The services of security personnel comprising soldiers, police, DSS and civil defence should be contracted by the businessmen for the purpose of escorting them to Abuja to conduct their businesses.

“There should be an arrangement where our businessmen from Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi and other northern state can be escorted to Abuja in convoy by a team of security personnel after every an hour.”

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
