Otu-Jeremi Explosion: 'It Was Mere Pipeline Rupture', Says Kyari

 

Malam Mele Kyari, Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC), has debunked reports of an explosion on the Abura
Crude Trunkline, operated by the Corporation.

This was contained in a statement signed by NNPC spokesperson, Ndu
Ughamadu, on Saturday in Abuja.

Ughamadu said Kyari faulted the reports shortly after teeing off the
2019 NNPC Upstream Golf Tournament in Benin City.

There were alleged media reports that the pipeline, situated at
Otu-Jeremi town in Ughelli, Delta, was engulfed in flames.

The facility is NNPC’s Upstream subsidiary, operated by the Nigerian
Petroleum Development Company (NPDC).

Kyari described the incident as a mere rupture on one of the
corporation’s pipelines, which would be fixed within three days.

“It was not an explosion. It was a rupture on one of our pipelines.
Our team of engineers has since moved to the site. In three days, we
should be able to fix it.

“We have since contained the spill coming out of that pipeline. There
was no fire anywhere on the pipeline. So there is no cause for alarm,”
Kyari said.

The GMD assured the public that the incident would have no negative
impact on the power supply; and called on host communities to
disregard the rumour and go about their normal activities.

He also stated that the Upstream Golf Tournament at Benin would avail
members of staff of various operations of the Corporation, the
opportunity to work and maintain a healthy lifestyle through the game
of golf.

“Our operations require the support of all stakeholders to succeed.

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
