Love's stupid now It's seeing so much  Caring is insanity  No hunger belly does it  Pleasure is dead It's our biggest luxury  What's life thereto  Hey Mr. President  Love's gone to grave  Caring is a chimera Pleasure's been hanged  Peace is an idiot  Hey! Hey!! Hey!!! Don't tell me to stop  I want to thank you  Thank you Mr. President #poetry #poetrycommunity @highlight

It's clearly Nigeria against the Igbo man and woman without any exception. Recently, a certain situation took place in Uromi in Edo State of Nigeria. Edo State people killed some people allegedly from the North numbering about 16. The videos asserting the reality of the incident is everywhere on the internet and the certitude of that incident has not been denied so far. Not a single Igbo man or woman was involved in the scenario. None was seen near the occurrence. But guess what? They're already killing Igbos in the North because of the Uromi saga that has nothing to do with Ndị Igbo. What else? The government will never say anything. No Igbo politician will mention it for condemnation except maybe Sen. Enyinnia Abaribe because they're either puppets and criminals held hostage by their corrupt dealings. No Army, no Navy and no Air Force will say anything. No police or any other security portion of the government will say anything. But do you know one thing? They're forc...

Paint me! Paint me!! Paint me with your lips Let me look as an art piece  From the colours of your lips I care of the world no more  I'm numb to stimulus  Because your beauty stun Your heart is so delicate  Your being is a charm  It never lets go of me Paint me and make me an art Nest my head on your breasts Never let me stay bright eyed  Stain my eyes with all the beaut And I'll love you forever

In such situation as the one in Rivers State today, many people are exposed in terms of their limited knowledge or ignorance. But it has become important to use the words the way they should be clearly understood. When people break the law, they have committed crime. And when someone commits crime, the person is punishable by the law or the government. And whoever commits a crime is a criminal. It is therefore left for you to call the president by the name of his action. When we make mention of the principle of separation of powers in government, it does not only mean the demarcation of the three arms of the government - the executive, legislature and the judiciary. It also involves the distinctions between the three tiers of government. Just as the executive cannot usurp the powers of the legislature or judiciary or the legislature taking over either the executive or judiciary or even the judiciary taking preeminence the powers of either of the executive or judiciary, so is the federa...

Koi! Koi!! Koi!!! Hello justice in Nigeria  I am Sunday Jackson As I farm to provide for my family  This herder assailed me He destroys our farms, kills us He desired to kill me with knife I had no weapon and nothing  Seeing death, I tried to preserve life  He ceased my freedom to escape  He died trying to take my life  He died of his own weapon  I merely defended myself  My assailant died, he is dead Dear Sunday Jackson  You should have let him go Or you run away and die next time  Or let him kill you like your kins  You shall be hanged till you die This is justice in our land Our land is Nigeria  Kpom! Kpom!! Kpom!!! Justices of Supreme Court  May my life be spared I'm not a murderer  It was in the course of self defense  I've never killed, I'd never kill  He won't let me escape  He died that I refused suicide He died trying to kill me Dear Sunday Jackson  Death is fundamental right  Self pr...

The idea or information is that the Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo is requesting the licencing of Native Doctors in the state. I assume that this is essentially an approach to the fight against violent crimes and insecurity in the state. This ordinarily should be a commendable action by the government except that a bad route may disfigure a destination. Though in recent times, societal experiences have taught me and many others the truism of a local colloquial adage in our younger age which states that "passing six is not passing sense". Again, such experiences have also made me to understand that leadership has nothing to do with academic degrees though the basic education is necessary for modern political leadership. When Professor Soludo was elected as the governor of Anambra State, like many others, I thought that God Almighty had answered the prayers of Ndi Anambra. But through the experience of this government led by Prof. Soludo, we are learning not t...

It is trite to legal commonsense that no system judges itself. And as the legal dictum states in the Latin phrase "Nemo judex in causa sua" that translates to "no one should be a judge in their own case". It's a fundamental principle of natural justice and constitutionalism that ensures impartiality in legal proceedings. The principle of nemo judex in causa sua originated in Roman law and was crystallized into a phrase by Edward Coke in the 17th century. It is however enshrined and found in legal systems around the world.  When the judiciary, including courts, judges, or lawyers, is accused as a party to a case, this creates a significant conflict, not only of interest but, populates the national social and political landscape with legalistic mines and destructive sands of natural law fabrics. Assuming you are a judge and eventually is caught in a crime, irrespective of the enormity, and the case is brought to you to judge yourself, what do you think you will do...

It's a den like terrible here  It's difficult not to think this Everyone here is a criminal  Everyone is encouraged to be Our money houses are extortionate  Our safe keepers are quiet robbers  Our will custodian is a treachery  The crown looks like a crook  Our lives are in utter danger Justice sings elegy and dirge  Its temple is a bazaar mall Why not call it a supermarket? Judgements are wares in shelves  We hope for a showroom soon  The priests and priestesses war The bounty is prize for the winner  The bench and bar cook us a meal The meal is injustice Shame took a flight  Constable and his masters kidnap  Our weapons to protect are nightmares  The state of nature is a joke  We live in the nature of state  The sovereign relishes all We may never get well, not soon  Wake me up from this sleep The dreams are after my life  It's insipid living in such a time  Livid? It won't serve either  Let...

It's severally too wrong from those saying that Peter Obi wouldn't have dared the reforms that Chief Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is attempting. The point is that the reforms are premature and malicious. They're malicious because the ruler is a tribalist and doesn't care about the rest of the country. He's on the Nigerian table to administer the Yorubas and nothing more or less. The pure and clear knowledge is that Peter Obi would have prepared the ground and make it ripe for the reform such that it won't be like a punitive association where one man is seen clearing the table into his bag while others starve home. Those who are also building the economy of Lagos come from the East, West, North and South. Most times I think the recent leadership of Nigeria lack so much in ideology. They run our communities and society without a philosophy. It was Bertrand Russell who averred that "The man who has no tincture of philosophy goes through life imprisoned in the pr...

Do you know why the African elite, African wealth and African heads of state are at the service of the West? Do you know why apartheid, colonization, neocolonialism and even Françafrique existed? Do you wonder why Africans are poor when their continent is full of so much wealth? Have you ever wondered why the black continent only knows despots who squander public funds without a qualm that they then deposit in the West? Do you know why African nationalists (Lumumba, Sankara, Edouardo Mondlane or Amilcar Cabral) were assassinated? Do you know why the peoples of Africa are gagged or why Western "democrats" endorse dictatorship and roll out the red carpet to welcome with pomp the potentates who govern us? The Franco-Ivorian Mireille Saki found the answer to all these questions at the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium. There she discovered an unpublished document that had long been kept secret: the Charter of Imperialism . In this protocol of 28 articles is th...

A Party Greatly Aggrieved  Few minutes ago, I just read a piece of news that the Supreme Court has finally given judgement settling the long years of leadership tussles in APGA National Working Committee (NWC). I don't know how it feels both ways when congratulatory message is sent to those who have lost a loved one or even lost ones. Do we rather say it's misplaced or erroneous? Whichever way, I think it means nothing except that it's meaninglessly important. The victory and the defeat are all loss. APGA is dead and buried so fighting for the soul of APGA is exactly fighting for the corps of the dead. Of what use is it please? The New APGA  APGA died when Victim Oye, in company of Whilly Obiano led and supervised the blatant rape and violation of our people in 2019. The once strongest party in Nigeria died. The only political party that was both a movement and a faith system lost its strength and waned. It will never be well for those who did that to APGA and Ndị Igbo in g...

Amen, Hallelujah, Glory  It sounds like the Almighty is within  Ouch! You're gone in a moment  Their eyes on your belief and faith  Cassock, Collar, Cross Pendant  The congregation is in trouble  Like peddlers, pushers and hookups  Like gifters, tricksters and sharks  The ritual is the same  The goal is also just one Heaven cries, salvation suffers The cathedral is in flames  Burning from the fuels of lusts  Beelzebub, mammon recklessly feast On oath, crime mongers are here They've subdued whatever  Here's the cathedral  Cathedral is the Holy Ground  Goodness me! Swears, cognition is amiss  Who am I seeing here? Politician, Celebrity or Priest? The difference is no more  Oneness in potency and act  Only the perspective of perceiver They've captured the cathedral  The outlaws!

We're entangled with the confusion  We're in a severely muddled pond It seems like abyss and a pond Nothing is real, nothing is unreal Everything is unreal, everything is real  It's our world and we live in it Olden days bads are norms now Disdains of then are celebrities of now Common will custodians  turn usurpers  Our guards are robbing and raping us Friends of God are living in hades  We're urged to say more? No wonder! Morality left the law The temple of justice's sty of outlaws  My attorney's a head hunter  My Lord is a criminal  It feels like hades is here Our pens are bleeding falsehood  Our gowns are misleaders  Our pulpits tell lies and deceive Our people are eating sands But a few praise the Rock of Aso It's a wondrous world, it's Nigeria  Don't let us mention Africa  Wake me up from this nightmare  It shall be alright one day Waning never on hopes Just one day soon...

Unarguably, the best ever activity for humanity is philosophising. You would not have imagined a province of all. A place where reasoning is done for its own sake, where every problem has a solution, every solution becomes a problem and everything else is in a state of perpetual flux. It's indeed a space to be. This is a bit of what the practice of philosophy can be. I was privileged to sit in a postgraduate defense in a university in Nigeria recently. It took place in their Philosophy Department. In the course of the defense, the candidate sprang to a sub-topic titled "The Tyranny of Merit". Obviously, this work is a moment in the discourse of meritocracy. Of course, meritocracy instantiates a government or the holding of power by people selected according to merit. It takes off its flight on the pads of attempts to establish or attain a society governed by people selected according to merit. Every philosophy student by now should have known that this is an intellectual ...

Today, the 5th of November, 2024 will be in the history of the United States as well as the world for importance. As Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris chase the seat of the US, we remind them of the peace of the world and the significant position of the US. On the foregoing, I enjoin the citizens of the US to go out and perform their civic duty with utmost civility. Just as every other country of the world, the US is populated by humans and we want their choices to be respected and not subverted. Elections, like every tissue of prism through which justice is glimpsed, must be conducted in a manner that shines truth at all minds and renders doubt impossible. In this respect, I admonish all necessary and duty bound corporate and individual persons in this election to uphold the finest of service mindedness and impeccable service delivery. This should be done with tops of the reverence for the identity of the United States which must rest on Justice & Equality. Of this is done, the sh...

In Philosophy of the Sciences, a school of thought led by Karl Popper held that the methodology of the sciences is "Conjectures and Refutations".  But in a general consideration of philosophical methods, we recall a vibrant philosophical methodology called Dialects. Most Philosophy Scholars refer to this method as the Socratic Method. But as an African Philosopher who has the right foundation of Philosophy and have joined the unraveling of the truth of Africa as the cradle of Philosophy and, inferentially or consequently, civilization, I do not bless the crime of Western Philosophy and their jaundiced history with attributing or ascribing that revered philosophical methodology to an intellectual thief as Socrates. No! I therefore prefer to deal with DIALECTICS. So in Dialects, and attending to the application of philosophical super methodologies on the sciences, our intellectual surge adopts a logico mathematical super saunter that moves from thesis, through antithesis to syn...

Rilwan Akiolu  Till that area boy called Oba of Lagos is thrown into prison for his criminal calls during several election periods for the killing of Igbos in Lagos and his threat to murder Igbos in Yoruba land, that crime of segregation against the law of Nigeria, by some outlaws in the southwest, will continue. The law asserts that all Nigerians are free to live in any part of Nigeria and exercise their rights and enjoy their privileges as well. Just saying that an Igbo man can't vie for the governorship of Lagos State alone is a crime punishable by the laws of Nigeria. But what? Each election period we see plenteous crimes from all fours of Yoruba land with recklessness mindless of the law. But the federal government has always looked away. But a Yoruba man is ruling Nigeria which covers Igbo land. Is that conquest or something else? The problem that will consume the entire country (Nigeria) will start from here. The Igbos suffered the most grievous genocide in the history of Ni...

I took a little time out to read the so long a tweet by Mr. James Ibori on X. Beautiful as it may have seemed in his mind before he threw it at the courts of the citizens, they wear every coat of angered respondent who has premeditated to courts while waiting to spank them. Like a man in an ambush, Mr. James Ibori surfaced with such alacrity of a man who has caught his enemy on acts of mortal sin and wishes to believe that his (enemy's) life now rests restive in his (Ibori's) own palms. Mr. Ibori's argument took off from a woeful footing and may sway discussions especially for the unsuspecting and scarcely logically mindful number.  His (Mr. Ibori's) postulation reminds us of the logical difference between validity and soundness. Arguments with false promises can be valid but false. An example will help the understanding of most readers especially those who may not have had the privileges of elementary logic or what logicians will refer to as ordinary language logic. An...

A model to expectant scholars  A signpost to young activists  A dream of professors A hope of truth in the sea of lies  Fades into notoriety  Lying barefaced and unabashed? Now abhorred by teachers? Now the negatives of courage? What no one wants to be anymore? Just fades into notoriety  This 90 years is terrible  This age has been blurred  This chapter of chatter shatters  He turns to his spittle Goodness me! Becomes the scorn of kids All about him is now of jest  Abandoned to sorry tribalism  Leaving the stage in dishonour  Murdering earned reputation Can fame turn notorious? Wole Soyinka, insignificant? Let none of mine age like him  May our age never turn curse Haba Wole Soyinka!
