Sunday Igboho: Aggrieved Igangan Youths Welcome Makinde With Placards

Aggrieved youths in Igangan, Ibarapa North Local Council Development Area of Oyo State, welcomed the governor of the state, Seyi Makinde, with placards asking him to do more about insecurity in their area.

According to The PUNCH, Makinde arrived in the area on Sunday evening, held meetings with stakeholders in a bid to find a lasting solution to the herdsmen crisis rocking the area.

On Monday, youths in the community greeted the governor with several placards shortly before another meeting.

Some of the inscriptions on the placards read: ‘End Farmers Bloodshed in Igangan’, ‘Fulani Must Stop Raping Our Women’, ‘Ibarapaland Not Fulani RUGA’, ‘No More Seriki, No More Carnage’, ‘Stop Fulani Massacre Of Ibarapa People’.

The youths also displayed photos of victims, including that of Fatai Aborode, a returnee cum farmer who was allegedly killed by Fulani herders because they wanted to drive him away from where he had his farm.

The Convener, Igangan Development Advocates, Oladiran Oladokun, said the inscriptions on the placards contained the specific demands of the people of Igangan and Ibarapaland.

Popular Yoruba freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo (Igboho), had asked Fulani herdsmen, largely blamed for perpetrating crimes in the area, to leave Ibarapa within seven days.

At the expiration of the seven-day ultimatum, Igangan residents, emboldened by Igboho’s presence, had ejected the Seriki Fulani of Igangan, Abdulkadir Saliu, and some others out of the rustic town.

The residents of the town also vowed never to allow Saliu and his men return to the community.

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.

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
