Army’ll Disgrace Boko Haram Terrorists In 2021 – Buratai Prophesies In New Year Resolution

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai, has assured that the Nigerian Army will shame and disgrace the Boko Haram and Islamic States for West African Province terrorists in 2021.

The army chief, in a tone symbolic of a prophet, stated this during an event to usher in the 2021 New Year at the T. Y. Buratai Institute for War and Peace, in his native Biu Local Government Area of Borno State.


He urged the troops to dedicate themselves to the task of eradicating terrorism by maintaining the tempo in 2021 with more determination and action to end the insurgency in the country.

He also urged the troops to work with more discipline and courage, adding that the military had the responsibility to solve the nation’s problem of security.

“I am very optimistic that 2021 will be different, totally different with remarkable difference from 2020. I want you to see it as a challenge and a task that must be done because we are the ones that can do it because Nigerians believe in us and believe that we can do it.

“You should go into the year with full conviction that we can do better to address the insecurity in our country,” he added.

Buratai also promised that officers and men of the army would enjoy a lot of welfare packages in 2021.

Just in December 2020, the army chief had said that Nigeria was likely to suffer the Boko Haram terrorist attacks for the next 20 years.

He had stated this on his verified Facebook page days after Boko Haram terrorists killed dozens of rice farmers in Zabarmari, a community in the Jere Local Government Area of Borno State.

“There is a general misunderstanding of what insurgency and terrorism entail. There is a likelihood of terrorism persisting in Nigeria for another 20 years. It only depends on the level of escalation and the appropriate responses by all stakeholders both civil and military authorities; also by both local and international actors.

“Citizens responsibility is equally important and imperative. All must cooperate to contain the lingering insecurity. Let there be collective action and responsibility,” he had stated.

Some Nigerians commenting on Buratai’s assurance for 2021, however, expressed doubts going by the military’s past failures.

“It has gone from ‘we have degraded Boko Haram’ to ‘we will disgrace Boko Haram’; set of miserable pathological liars. Everything about these unfortunate people for the past six years has always been ‘we will’ and yet they have not been able to (do) anything,” a commentator said.

“Na New Year resolution, give Buratai one week. He go change mouth. We all know say na innocent civilians and unarmed protesters Nigeria Army for dey get power,” another person wrote on Twitter.

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
