To: The Fools Ruling Nigeria

From: Bayo Oluwasanmi

Subject: Lance Corporal Martins Idakpini And Democracy 101

Tope Akinyode, the attorney of detained Lance Corporal Martins Idakpini, has indicated that he’ll initiate proceedings for contempt against Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, and Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, for refusing to release Martins on bail as ordered by the court. Martins was arrested and detained over a viral video in which he complained that soldiers have no weapons to fight Boko Haram terrorists.

We live in a time and in a Nigeria we have never lived before with fools ruling the country. Speaking of fools ruling the country, I mean people who lack intelligence, direction, and sound judgement to manage the affairs of a country.

Because you lack intelligence, direction, and sound judgement, you have profoundly demonstrated that you don’t understand the meaning of democracy. Because of your abysmal failure in how democracy works, you have deliberately or ignorantly substituted dictatorship for democracy. This has resulted in arbitrary arrest and detention of hundreds of Nigerians who are simply exercising their constitutional rights and civic responsibilities. Nigeria is now in full blown dictatorship. I believe it will amount to dereliction of duty on my part as a patriotic citizen if I failed to instruct you on Democracy 101 and why it is illegal for you to continue to detain Martins.

Bayo Oluwasanmi

To you fools ruling Nigeria in Aso Rock, National Assembly, the Attorney-General, Director SSS, Inspector-General of Police, the Chief Justice of the Federation, your lack of understanding of what democracy means, shows you’re intelligently disabled, morally depraved, uneducated, primitive, barbaric. To summarize, here’s what democracy 101 means:

Supreme power lies with the people.
Democracy requires free and fair election.
Democracy requires respect for law and minority opinion. Government must respect the law.

Democracy means freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of association and freedom of assembly. Democracy respects individual’s rights. State must always protect its individuals whose rights are endangered by the actions of the government and others. In democracy, minorities should not have their basic rights disrupted by the ruling majority. Government must respect democratic procedures.

The judiciary must be independent. Freedom of judiciary is an essential feature of democracy. Judiciary must always be free from any resistor of the executive or the legislature. Judges must be truthful and should deliver justice impartially.

We are tired of your noise and nonsense. We are tired of the poverty and penury you foisted on us. We are tired of your lunancy and looting. We are tired of your blindness and blankness. We are tired of your crude insanity the way you operate a representative democracy. Now that you know what democracy 101 is, and how it works, you have no right to continue to hold up Martins in detention. Obey democracy, obey the laws of our land, release Lance Corporal Martins today!

I hope the tutorial has been helpful.

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
