ANAMBRA ELECTION -AN EPITOME OF 2015


    Nigeria is no more a lad when it comes to the area of electoral processes. Since 1960 when the nation has been wearing the sovereign garment which marked the country as the independent one. We manage our potentials, we govern ourselves and no influence as during the colonialism. With three tiers of government, four years in office, as it is written down, there must be poll to fix out the credible leaders. Is all our elections bring credible leaders?
     In Nigeria, except the June 12 1993 election that was marked locally, internationally as the credible one but the credible leader was not on the chair of honour. Only thing we heard afterward was the deceleration of his death. The country managed to live in destitute. It so ironical that a nation that is blessed with both human and natural resources can still bite her fingers at the end of the day.
  With the aim to halt this, Nigerians have been looking for ways of getting out this awful condition. One of the ways is election. Like the one conducted on Saturday in Anambra state, the election did not voice the masses opinion-it had to be canceled  by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC due to its incredibility. But another poll is knocking in 2015, Anambra poll is the epitome of 2015 election.
    Since the leaders are not ready for the masses, let there be a new dawn to appear in the new day. Arise Nigerians! How would you cast your vote in 2015 general election?  If a leader cannot help you, help the leader.

A REVIEW OF DENJA ABDULLAH’S PLAY DEATH AND THE KING’S GREY HAIR - By Olaniyi Abdulwaheed

Image
In every society, there must be a leader. A leader who is ready to refurbish the land, lead by example and abides by the laws of the society. A leader who is respected by his subjects is the one that serves the nation relentlessly and bends for the rule of law. The law of every society defines its power, culture and tradition. The uniqueness of a tradition in a particular nation is reserved in the constitution and how the people of the state respect the rule of law. When the power of a nation is given to a particular person to maintain orderliness, peace and harmony reigns if the ruler or king obeys political culture. Leaders must lead by example lest things fall apart. The play Death and the King’s Grey Hair centres around the ancestral culture of the people of Shakaga village. According to their unwritten constitution , a king rules for a short period of time, it is a taboo for him to live with signs of ageing,.The village only witnesses young kings and short reigns. The law ...

The origin of African Drama and Theatre with Salient Elements from Selected Plays by Olaniyi Abdulwaheed

African drama and theatre started to emerge in Africa continent when British came to make their affairs of life imposed on Africans. They came with ideas; religion, education, business transaction, making Africa a raw material place where their solid land was built up by it. Through this, African lifestyle changed and wore another garment because of the predicament at the advent of British. Though Africans had their normal dramatization (in form of folklore), their experiences for the coming of British always feature in the African drama and theatre that was inherited from Europeans. The origin of African drama and theatre based on traditional, history, and contemporary dramatic forms in Africa which range from sacred or ritual performances to dramatized storytelling, literary drama, or modern fusion of scripted theatre with traditional performance techniques. The diversity in performances is as a result of massive spread of cultures and traditions in each country. A lot of t...

INTERVIEW: A GOOD POEM IS ENTERTAINING, LAZED WITH MORALS

Image
Editor’s note: Poetry is a genre of literature that encodes messages through the condensed language. Through its defamiliarised way of expressing the message, the tone of the poem, many times, appeals to different senses, making it to be musical and as it is injecting morals in the veil of the readers. A good poet is a model. This is an interview conducted by Poets from our Savannah, a Ghanaian WhatpsApp group, promoting poetry and young poets. The guest was Ms. CECILIA AMOAFOWAA SEFA and the host,  Poetess Zulfaw,  Poet Gbepo. Ms Cecilia Sefa is also known as Mom Cee. Poet Gbepo: On behalf of the entire house, I will like to welcome our mother, mama Cecilia to the interviewee seat! Mom Cee : Thanks. Poet Gbepo:  Please, could you introduce yourself to the house? Mom Cee: I am Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia, (I love for my name to be in this order against the norm because of my love for my Ghanaian names, mostly abbreviating the last) I am a teacher, (Tamale Se...
