Schools in Anambra state reportedly dedicate a day to celebrate Igbo culture (photos)

Nigeria is a country of different tribes with beautiful cultures and sometimes, the advent of western education seems to make all these fade to the background.

However, schools in Anambra state seemed to have taken steps to preserve the Igbo culture and tradition.

A Facebook user identified as Agunze Azuka Onwuka shared photos of students in the state wearing uniforms sewn with the popular local ankara fabric.

The excited man further revealed that according to his findings, it was a government policy for schools to dedicate a day for the promotion of the Igbo culture.

Agunze wrote: "I was informed that this is in line with the government's policy now for schools to dedicate one day for the promotion of Igbo culture/language. Kudos to the governor for the initiative."

Just recently, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian man claimed on social media that a woman's education is a waste if she is unmarried.

A Facebook user identified as Destiny Chibuike has sent social media feminists into anger mode after sharing a post in which he claimed that a woman's beauty and academic qualifications is baseless if she is single and without a husband.

In his post, he categorically stated that it is a 'waste'. His rather controversial post has sparked major reactions on social media. While some agreed with him, many others bashed him for limiting a woman to the partner of a man rather than a human who should exist on her own conditions.

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
