The Sokoto state government on Monday, May 20, demoted over 30 principals of secondary schools in the state.

The state government reportedly reassigned classrooms to these principals over alleged partisanship.

Daily Trust reports that among those demoted is the president of the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools, Muhammad Musa and his secretary.

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
