dc.description.abstractThe written and oral literature in Africa have a common tradition of drawing nourishment and inspiration from oral culture. They are also vehicles of expressing personal experiences, ideas on morality and ethics, human and political relationships, socio-cultural problems in the continent. The assertion of black values or Africanness and nostalgia for his roots pervade Hope Eghagha's poetic trajectory. As a contemporary poet, he has appropriated the resources of his oral traditions and subject them through an individual creative forge, into varied new and interesting forms. Apart from infusion with a strong sense of orality, his poems also serve as an avenue for dissipating animosity against the social ills of the society The study investigates the use of oral resources and devices of repetition used by Hope Eghagha and how he has justified these important aspects of the poet's work in his poetry's collection; Rhythms of the Last Testament; This Story Must Not Be Told; The Governor's Lodge and other Poems; Premonitions and other Poems; Mama Dances into the Night and other Poems and Pepper in My Throat and other Poems.en_US
