The soldier, who was arrested alongside 26 others, said he was still learning “yahoo yahoo” (Internet fraud) from his friends when he was nabbed. 

He confessed that his friends, who were teaching him, had told him that cybercrime was the best way to make quick money hence his involvement.

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.

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
