“Deploy Them In Forests, Not Town”—Nigerians React As Amotekun Operatives Kill Two In Oyo

A number of Nigerians have reacted to the gruesome killings of two people in Ibadan, Oyo State, by the South-West security outfit, Amotekun, saying the officers should be deployed in the forests, and not residential areas. 

SaharaReporters had reported on Friday that the operatives of Amotekun shot dead Afeez Lotto and Akin Owoaga, residents of Asaka area on Thursday.

Saheed Apanpa, the official who allegedly pulled the trigger, also shot an old man, Matthew Owolabi, who reported at the Mapo and Iyaganku police stations.  
However, the incident has generated reactions on social media, as Nigerians condemned the despicable acts of the regional militias.

“What was supposed to be a good idea is now a menace,” Realist @efeCamilus tweeted. “Monsters have been given weapons to entrench the modus operandi of the police, so unfortunate. The original security outfits if not properly regulated, would become another SARS.”

Oyebode Tunde @OyebodeTunde5 tweeted, “Amotekun aren’t needed in towns. Please put them in the interiors and bushy areas. Let them face the militias who torture our farmers. Moreover, they should be trained personnel.”

“At this rate, Amotekun will end up like the defunct OPC and Bakassi Boys,” Akano Oyedayo Phillips @OyedayoAkano said.

“Looks like our local militias are going to be just as bad as the regular police,” Paul @chrismiles78 reacted. “Troubling times ahead. Methinks more formal training as regards modern civil policing should have been mandatory for Amotekun members.”

Emmanuel Akindele @EmmanuelAkind17 said, “@seyinamakinde should pursue this matter to a logical end. What concerns Amotekun with the communal dispute? Weren’t they supposed to focus more on our forests, roads and rural communities where the terrorists raid our land?”

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
