Kidnapped Rivers Poly Lecturer Regains Freedom

A lecturer at Ken Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic, Bori, in the Khana Local Government Area of Rivers, James Fenwi, who was abducted six days ago, has regained his freedom.

Finwe was abducted by some gunmen at his residence in Igwurutali, Ikwerri Local Government Area of the State. 


The Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) at the polytechnic, Prince Psudo Nwiyo, said Finwe was released on Saturday. 

Nwiyo disclosed this in Port Harcourt, saying the pressure the state government put on security agencies paid off with the release of the kidnapped lecturer. 

“I had to put a lot of pressure on the police, especially the Officer-in-Charge of kidnapping, who assured me that in no distant time, he was going to be released and I was very happy to hear that my colleague has been released.

“I want to thank the Rivers State Government for the pressure that they put on the security agencies, and the Commissioner of Police, especially the O.C. Kidnapping, who kept to his word to ensure that his men worked assiduously to ensure the release of Mr. James Finwe,” he stated.

Nwiyo said no ransom was paid to secure Finwe’s release even though the kidnappers had demanded an undisclosed amount of money as ransom.

According to him, the amount of money demanded by the kidnappers was shocking. 

He said, “The kind of money that kidnappers are looking for, I don’t think there is any lecturer that has such kind of money. We are civil servants.

“I want to advise those that are still in the business of kidnapping that crime is no longer lucrative because the commissioner of police and the governor of the state have vowed to fight criminality to a standstill.

“So, I want our brothers who are still involved in kidnapping to withdraw from such businesses because they will meet their doom in no distant time.”

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
