VIDEO: Lamboginny- Kirikiri Don Full

Overview of Lamboginny – Kirikiri Don Full

Pop artist and prison reform advocate Yinka Lawanson aka Lamboginny has released the visuals for his activist single ’Kirikiri Don Full’.

The video, released on September 17, 2019, brings to life the message of the song, which draws attention to the deplorable state of prisons in Nigeria and the lack of justice that characterizes the experiences of prison inmates.

“Kirikiri Don Full” is the first single off Lamboginny’s forthcoming EP titled ‘240’ which is slated for release in October 2019.

THE CONCEPT OF THE SONG

The album name was inspired by the total number of prisons in Nigeria (240), and as part of the launch project, Lamboginny is working to obtain freedom for 240 inmates languishing in prison over minor offenses because they cannot afford bail or a lawyer.

Speaking ahead of the video launch, Lamboginny said:-

“The song talks about the congested state of prisons in Nigeria where nearly 70% of inmates have not actually been convicted of anything, and we depicted this in the video.

In terms of the wider 240 project, we secured the freedom of 15 inmates at KiriKiri in July 2019 and we are getting another five from Suleja Prison in Abuja on 18th September 2019.

The issue of decongesting prisons that we have taken on goes to the heart of the reforms that are needed in Nigeria’s prisons and criminal justice system.”

It will be recalled that Lamboginny recently spoke on the importance of prison reform and inclusion at the 68th United Nations Civil Society Conference in salt lake, Utah dressed in orange prison overalls and advocating for overcrowded Nigerian prisons.

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
