Ondo Christians Ask President Buhari To Resign Over Insecurity


The Christian Association of Nigeria in Ondo State on Sunday demanded the immediate resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari over rising insecurity in Nigeria. 

The Christian group that converged at the Evangelical Church Winning All in Akure, the state capital, frowned at the consistent attacks, kidnapping and banditry in the country.

They alleged that Christians worshippers were now targets of attacks and abductions at the hands of Boko Haram insurgents.  See Also Christianity Church Must Rise Against Killings In Nigeria –CAN 0 Comments 6 Hours Ago

Led by Reverend John Oladapo, CAN Chairman in the state, the group demanded an end to incessant attacks on innocent people in the country. 

Jude Arogundade, Catholic Bishop of Ondo Diocese, explained that since the government had failed in its responsibility of protection, Christians would have to rise and defend themselves. 

Arogundade said Christian leaders in the country had agreed to speak out against any unwarranted attacks on Christian worshippers in the country. 

He condemned the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari's government to bring those behind the darstardly attacks and killings in the country to justice. 

He said, "This is the time for us to speak out clearly. If the government can no longer defend Christians in this country, we would defend ourselves.  See Also Politics #BuhariResign: Nigerians Call For President Buhari's Resignation, Sacking Of Security Chiefs 0 Comments 3 Days Ago

"It is our right and its our duty especially when we can see clearly that the system is no longer defending law-abiding and hardworking Nigerians anymore. 

"Every country in the world would defend the defenseless, the hard working, honest and ordinary people but our government continue to look the other way. 

"They would prefer to arrest those protesting against the system rather than those who are destroying the system. 

"We know this too well. We pray for our government so that they can uphold the truth and justice. 

"We pray that they would fish out all these terrorists in this country. This government cannot claim not to know those behind this.  

"If they can not handle the security of this country, let them resign, that is what people of dignity do mostly.  See Also Breaking News BREAKING: Fourth Abducted Kaduna Seminarians, Nnadi Michael, Found Dead 0 Comments 23 Hours Ago

"If all of us suffer, then we all suffered together; if one of us get killed, we all feel the pain.

"We want to see some arrest and if the government cannot do it, then the people would have to defend themselves and we are getting to that now." 

Earlier in a protest, Dele Oyesola, pastor in charge of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Ondo Province 1, asked government to put an end to insecurity in the country and arrest those behind killing of Christians mostly in the North-East.

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
