Woman Protests Child’s Disappearance Inside Popular Ondo Church

A middle-aged woman, Modupe Kolawole, has protested the sudden disappearance of her one-year-old child at a popular church in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

The child, Gold Kolawole, was declared "missing" during a special service held on Sunday at 'Sotitobire Miracle Centre' in Akure.

The church, located at Oshinle Quarters in Akure South Local Council Area of the state, is popular for his spiritual healings.

Speaking on Tuesday, an enraged Mrs Kolawole explained that he disappeared after he was dropped at the crèche inside the church.

According to her, the prophet of the church and his workers are behind the disappearance of her child.

She said, “Church members had always been advising me that I should take my son to the crèche whenever there was service in the church.

"I listened to their advice with the aim that the boy could play with the other children and be able to stand and walk easily.

“When I dropped him that morning during the service, I registered his name on number 87 on the list of the children in the crèche.

“But when I went back later, I noticed that his chair had been turned to a particular lady which I thought was a worker in the church.

“I saw him eating some snack and I told them that if it was not the church that provided it, they should not give my child to eat again.

“I told the HOD of the children's department that my child had his own food in a bag and they could easily feed him from there.

“When it was 11:45am, I went back to check on my child but he was no longer there.

“I was told to look for him among the 200 children that were there or maybe someone had taken him out.

“When it was 3:00pm, they still could not find my son and the service was still ongoing. I began to search for him personally within the congregation.

“I later informed the pastor shortly after the church service at 5:30pm and he told me and my husband to stay calm, that the child would be found.

“I slept over in the church, and the next day I was shouting on top of my voice, hoping that they would bring back my child but he is still nowhere to be found.

“Nigerians should help me ask the pastor of Sotitobire to bring out my child. This is day three that I have been looking for my son.”

Temitope, father of the missing boy, told SaharaReporters that they had been devastated since the disappearance of their child.

Officials of the church refused to speak during a visit to the place by our correspondent.

It was gathered that the incident had been reported at the B Division Police Station of the Ondo State Command.

Spokesperson for the police in Ondo, Femi Joseph, could not be reached for comments on Tuesday over the issue as calls placed to his telephone lines failed to connect while a text message sent to him has yet to be replied as of the time of this report.

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
