I am not going to train my daughter to see marriage as the most important thing - Akin Alabi

In Nigeria and most African countries, marriage is seen as the ultimate thing a woman can achieve. It does not always seem to matter whether she has attained great career heights or made life changing discoveries.

Despite the fact that many women and men are starting to let go of this school of thought, some ladies still see all their achievements as nothing if they are unmarried.

Well, House of Rep elect for Egbeda/Ona Ara federal constituency, Ibadan, Oloye Akin Alabi, has shared his thought on the issue on his Twitter page.

According to him, a lady’s friends start behaving differently after she gets married or proposed to. He added that this kind of behaviour from ladies fuels patriarchy because men can see how much women want to get married so they misbehave.

Explaining further, Akin Alabi added that he is not going to train his daughter to see marriage as the most important thing.

Akin Alabi is known for sharing his opinion on controversial topics on his Twitter page. The politician and business man recently made the news after he commented on the viral story of a gateman who rejected his boss' offer to build him a house but opted for a borehole in his community.

Alabi expressed that even though Usman’s decision was truly selfless; it was not a wise one. According to him, he would have been able to do the greater good if he collected the house, sell it off and install multiple boreholes in the community.

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.

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
