Bayern Munich sealed their seventh straight Bundesliga title following a 5-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt at the Allianz Arena.

Kingsley Coman had sent the home crowd into frenzy with his strike inside four minutes but, after Serge Gnabry's goal was ruled out by the VAR, Sebastien Haller levelled for the scores for Frankfurt.

David Alaba responded ruthlessly before Renato Sanches scored his first goal for the club, and Ribery turned home Joshua Kimmich's assist in the 72nd minute to make it 4-1.

Robben was on hand to apply the finishing touch on a clinical Bayern move to end his ten-year career with the Bavarians with a 5-1 win and a league title.

Borussia Dortmund, who threw away a nine-point lead from their rival, needed to win at Borussia Monchengladbach and hope Frankfurt beat Byaern at the Allianz.

Jadon Sancho scored the opener with a volley and Marco Reus ensured a 2-0 win, but their efforts were in vain, giving the Bayern title.

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.

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
