Boko Haram Recruiting Displaced Persons, Borno Governor Says

Governor of Borno State, Prof Babagana Zulum, has raised the alarm about the possibility of Boko Haram recruiting new members, mostly internally displaced persons.

Zulum expressed concern that the terror group was luring unsuspecting persons, including IDPs to its side. 


According to him, the IDPs are exposed to the temptation to join if their desire to return to their homes and farms were not met.

He said, “Truly, the terrorists are working on people to join them and it is frightening. 

“For the IDPs, if they could not get what they are looking for especially the opportunity to go back to their various towns and return to the farm, they may be forced to join the Boko Haram sect.”

Speaking during a BBC Hausa Service programme, Zulum said that IDPs were bored staying in camps with no solution in view.

According to him, his administration had facilitated the  return of displaced persons to Mafa and Kukawa, while plans were underway to return others to Kawuri.
 
He said, “It is important that they go back to their various towns because no government can continue to be feeding them endlessly.

“I’m optimistic that the military will make it possible for people to return to Baga, Marte, Malam Fatori and Guzamala.”

The governor also commented on the Baga attack on his convoy, stressing that it was sabotage.

He said, “The attack on my convoy in Baga was shameful.

“I did not mentioned any name, whatever is done to hinder the fight against Boko Haram is an act of sabotage, including failure to buy arms.

“I was not afraid because I rely on God.

“I was attacked with bombs but Almighty God spared me.”

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
