We have cleared traffic on Apapa highway - Presidency

Federal government declared that it has cleared up of the Apapa gridlock and the restoration of law and order to Apapa and its environs.

This came after President Buhari ordered the immediate clearing up of the Apapa gridlock within 2 weeks.

The directive mandated the immediate removal of all trucks from the bridges and roads within Apapa and all adjoining streets leading into the Apapa axis.

"The trucks and trailers are no longer on the two diversions of Eko bridge to (1) Ijora 7up, at the Costain axis and (2) to Apapa at the Ijora Olopa, close to Iddo axis.

"As of Sun 26th May, the gradual movement into the Ports has moved the trucks and trailers at the Ijora Olopa axis of Iddo/Ijora Olopa road to the National Theatre gate overlooking the Lagos State water corporation at Ijora Olopa.

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 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
