How Speaker Of Lagos Assembly, Obasa, Clerk Deceived House Members

Contrary to claims by embattled Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, on the floor of the House accusing SaharaReporters of fake news and alleged that the N17m cleaning services monthly allocation was misreported by the news medium, SaharaReporters is in possession of exclusive documents contravening the claim of the lawmakers. 

According to the officers, the Speaker met a monthly allocation of N27m for running cost and reduced it to N17m in 2015 as a mark of his prudence.  Mudashiru Obasa

They claimed that the N17m was for payment of special advisers and other aides of the Speaker.

The latest document in possession of SaharaReporters revealed that the Lagos Speaker received directly to his personal account the N27m met on assumption of office and only collected the N17m office and house cleaning in addition to the previous allocation, which was diverted to his private account domiciled in Wema Bank, Oba Akran branch in Ikeja, Lagos. 

Obasa has been running from pillar to post trying to divert attention from his fraudulent activities. 

Before the latest revelation, SaharaReporters had exposed how Obasa used a number of companies registered under different names to execute contracts and siphon public funds. 

The online news medium also exposed how he spent N17m monthly to maintain his personal residence and guest house from tax payers’ money.  See Also Exclusive Lagos Speaker, Obasa, Gets N17m Monthly For Maintenance Of Personal Residence, Guest House 0 Comments 1 Week Ago

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.

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
