Meanwhile, the Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Thursday, April 25, revealed why he was absent during President Muhammadu Buhari’s projects commissioning in Lagos on Wednesday, April 24.

The Independent reports that there were insinuations that Tinubu shunned the event as a payback for the president’s absence at the colloquium organised last month to mark his 67th birthday.

However, Tinubu’s special adviser on media, Tunde Rahman, said his principal missed the event because he is currently out of the country.

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
