Alex Ter Adum PhD  The controversy surrounding the purported challenge by the Peace Movement Party (PMP) to the registered logo of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) must be resolved strictly within the framework of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), the Electoral Act, 2022, the Regulations and Guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the registration of political parties in Nigeria, and settled principles of Nigerian constitutional jurisprudence, not through political expediency, judicial overreach or administrative arbitrariness. The Constitution, particularly Sections 222 to 224, lays down the mandatory conditions an association must satisfy before it can qualify for registration as a political party. However, satisfying those constitutional conditions does not, without more, transform an association into a political party. Registration by INEC is the decisive legal act that confers statutory recognition and ...

KEMKA S.

KEMKA S. IBEJI  I've had to pinch and prick myself a few times to be sure it's a real experience and that humans can actually live in the manner of the supporters and followers of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). I've never seen people as shameless and mindless as the supporters of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC. These irredeemably morally dead people are listing the incidents of kidnapping during Mr. Peter Obi's reign as the Governor of Anambra State and are asking why he didn't resign from his position because of that. This is in their defense of Bola Ahmed Tinubu whom Mr. Peter Obi has audaciously asked to resign from the position of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria owing to his failures and crass incapacity in performing the most primary and basic duties of a president - safety of lives and property. To buttress their foolhardiness and lifelong foolishness is to ...

KEMKA S. IBEJI  Don't ride in the sun It might be scorching  Don't ride on ice It might be freezing  Don't ride in the wild You might be devoured  Don't step out on sick day It's a scary fate there  Don't smile in angst  You'll be so mischievous  Don't stop when to start It's a sad bad torture 

KEMKA S. IBEJI  A greater percentage of the Nigerian electorate are not qualified to vote in an election. They're not different from infants and lunatics who can't make informed decisions. They're either swayed by monetary inducement, tribal and religious sentiments or bandwagons informed by fear of supporting someone that'll fail. Instead of making choices on solid and enlightened resolutions.  The history of democracy and indirect or representative democracy especially is replete with stringent measures considered in putting forward those who will choose their representatives. At a time in its evolution, women weren't allowed to vote and weren't even regarded as citizens. That was at its very crude stage. Subsequently and an advanced democracy restricted infants and lunatics from participating in an election. Of course, the most important aspect of an election is the voting which defined someone as a member of the community. Those who can't vote weren'...

Subsidy removal is not a blessing to Nigerians. It is an expression of weakness, incompetence and ignorance of the skills to govern Nigeria and protect Nigerians from criminals and outlaws by the government. Those who celebrate the subsidy removal are largely people who are not enlightened and those who don't know that subsidy was actually a means of sharing the blessings of God with the people and citizens of Nigeria whom God blessed with the crude oil.  Our society is unfortunately led and guided by those who don't love us. Our education and public space are manned and occupied by people who lack both character and learning. It's ridiculous to wake up each day ready folks celebrating the subsidy removal as a good thing. I think we all should be crying for that instead.  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has caused so much pains and cruelty to the citizens of Nigeria in such a manner that even the devil, Muhammadu Buhari, is being appreciated. Such an incredibly dull and unintel...

It's clear enough to uphold the cliché that ideas rule the world.  It was in the famous opening line of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, where he states: "Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim." The Nigerian colloquial will say "who no like better thing?"  Knowledge is not only attractive, it's infectious. Peter Obi exemplifies pure quality existence built with originality, prudence, moderation, courage, focus, discernment, pragmatic and communicating. His life is a communication.  Mr. Peter Obi has lived his life as a trader and the work of a trader is exchange. Every trader is in the business of exchanging something for something every day of his or her life and that's what they do. And for you to be successful in the business of trading you must have one important and ineluctable skill - communicat...

I can, very comfortably, tell you that Dr. Goodluck Jonathan lacks integrity and is not a man of honour. I have said this several times in the past 8 years and I repeated it many times in the 2023 election season. Most people were angry with me and some others felt insulted and abused. But one thing that makes a logician different from the rest of mankind is that they make assertions based on convictions and not sentiments. The convictions are usually adjudged reasonable and valid before they hold on to it and that makes them unrepentant on their opinions and views.  GEJ made a declarative statement which bore the entirety of his substance and destiny as a human being and I took it up and analysed it. He said that all he had achieved in his life came to him effortlessly and he never gets whatever he struggled for. I saw him struggling for the 2015 Presidential Election and I told people around me that if what he said is true then he will fail in the election and he did. That logica...

Chapter 1: The Satanic Sermon of Subsidies Removal and the Exorcism Underway. There's no dearth of accolades as each day we keep reading and hearing the praise singers of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC loudly saying that nobody else has the guts to remove the subsidy if not Bola Ahmed Tinubu.  In fact, some of their campaign allusions these days is that if Tinubu is defeated and ousted as the president of Nigeria in the 2027 Presidential Election, the next president of Nigeria will return subsidy. The subsidies being talked about here are; 1. Subsidy for Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly known as fuel or petrol.  2. Subsidy for Foreign Exchange otherwise known as FOREX.  To put our discussion in the right perspective, it will be fine to clearly explain what subsidy means. So the first question, therefore, is; what is subsidy?  Economically, subsidy is a financial benefit provided by a government or organization to individuals, businesses, or institutions. Designed...

BACKGROUND This intellectual foray is informed by empathy on our people and it's essentially founded on the philosophical concept of altruism. It's painful to see our compatriots being fed with bitter lies, unreasonable lines and illogical submissions served by a mindset to deform the mind of the citizenry, misinform the hoipoloi and mistreat the populace upon all that.  It follows the African wise saying that abominates the parturition of a leashed goat under the watch of the elderly. It therefore behoves on me, especially as a homegrown thinker, to support our people by creating an intellectually clement climate that allows our people to walk into the safety of their minds, willynilly.  Being Philosopher and the gadfly, and having been elevated by the philosophy of artificial intelligence, I shall therefore craft a critical thinking theatre equipped with logical inference machines that will enable our people, who are pushed into "knowledge labour", to walk in and ex...

It's important we keep some of these documents for the future. This senator boy just re-echoed what people like Charles Chukwuma Soludo, Emeka Ihedioha and the rest of them have been telling the rest of the Southeast. They know it's not true but they prefer their convenience. They are selling their land with their own people as gratis. Those supporting Atiku Abubakar in the Southeast are saying he will hand over to the Southeast after his term in office. Funny as annoying!  When it was the turn of the North in 2019, the entire Southeast filed behind Atiku Abubakar and Mr. Peter Obi joined him and gave huge voice and value to his ticket.  This is after the PDP messed the entire Igbo race up by using and dumping Dr. Alex Ekwueme for Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo who just got out of prison. So the Igbos left the front seat to the back bench and were asked to wait for their turn.  After 8 years of Obasanjo power automatically went to the North with the late Umar Musa Yar'adua. And w...

I can assure you with every sense of certainty and clarity that the online membership registration of political parties is rubbish, irrelevant and played into a settled game plan. The touted Direct Primaries is a trap and fixed to defeat the only threat of the APC. That style is already flawed and the best option available for the ADC is consensus. The only thing the APC and Mr. Tinubu are afraid of is having the ADC present Mr. Peter Obi as their presidential candidate. So everything and every machinery has been put in place to ensure that their nightmare doesn't see the light of the day. You will constantly see the identifiers of the game when you see; 1. All Ronus, BATists, APC and Tinubu supporters are supporting Atiku Abubakar to win the ADC Presidential Ticket. 2. APC and Tinubu supporters are the first people to downgrade Peter Obi and tell you that he will be defeated by Atiku Abubakar in the ADC ticket hunt. 3. They are the first people to inform Atiku Abubakar's...

By the metaphysics of the anthropological constitution of the human person, the realm of dualism is rife. Or do I say that I'm more attuned to the dualistic explanation of mankind. By that dualism, human beings are made up of the mind and the body. In an expansive grasp, the mind connotes the soul, the incorporeal, the spiritual and the psychological. On the other hand, the body involves all aspects of the human person that are physical and empirical. By the foregoing, human existence is birthed at the moment of supranational union between the mind and the body. This explanation of life defines death or the ceasure of life automatically. So death means the separation of the mind from the body. In this separation, two things happen; some minds decay while others subsist. Those whose minds decay are the real dead people. But some minds or souls separate and continue in existence and this defines the idea of the immortality of the soul.This death is not death and is the preserve of ...

The world SISTER CHARITY! Let's remember and ruminate on one of your cherished songs; In Igbo language: Mgbe eluigwe na ụwa nkea ga agafe Onye nwe anyị biko chetam  Ka ọrụ niile nke mụ rụrụ na ụwa nkea  Ka ọ ghara ịbụ ihe efu  Translated: When this heaven and earth shall pass away  Our Lord, please remember me  That all my works (labour) in this world  Shall never be in vain. She loved God and humans so vehemently in the purest manner  She lived her life for service to God and humanity with every dedication  She fought demons and defeated evil forces for so many without self expectations  The sick were healed, the bound was loosed, the victims were pronounced victors, slaves gained freedom and unbelievers turned to God through her fervent services to God. The Kingdom of darkness saw terror, trembled and was tamed and destroyed. A Prophetess of The Most High God has set her gaze to God's Kingdom and has returned for a welcome into God's paradi...

Most people have told me that they run away from commenting on my posts on the social media because I always hold strong opinions. Some others say I'm always attacking and don't accept other people's opinions. A few have resigned to saying that I write as if I know it all while some say I insult and abuse contrary views.  I see their points and understand their standpoints; they don't know me and what I stand for.  In the world of philosophy and its tool of logic, we deal with meanings. But meanings suffer grievous misconceptions, various definitions and multiple misinterpretations.  Once in our family meeting, I made a statement and an elder stood up and declared it an insult. I warmly apologised to them but that was a loan they had to repay. I informed them that I apologised for their understanding but what they understood was not what I meant. Again, that elder brother sprang up and he said something remarkable which brought out the skills of philosophy in me to the...

It beats good understanding how most Nigerians think. So humans who are mostly believed to be normal are supporting Wike and blaming Fubara for being ungrateful? Ungrateful for what please?  Ungrateful for wanting some space to govern and live as a human? Will Wike be responsible for whatever happens in his (Fubara's) regime as a governor in history? Will any of the people criticizing Fubara ever be happy to live as they tend to be prescribing for the man? Again some others are saying that president Tinubu saved him the first time and I ask how? Tinubu spoiled his matter which was legitimate. The legislators were already out by law and Tinubu saved them in an unlawful manner using the state of emergency.  There wasn't any division in the PDP when the lawmakers defected and by that they legally lost their seats in the legislative house. Fubara would have lawfully ousted them and replaced them with reasonable lawmakers other than puppets and stooges as are now littered in Rivers...

It seems impossible at noon While the sun blazes rays We disbelieve it like it's unreal  We think it cos we knew it  But it actually seems like nothing It definitely will take its turn  It feels most patient and calm  And before you know, it's here It frightens the stranger  It rests the toiled hands It renews the hope for another  It takes sight from the eyes It doesn't matter if you're awake Hello Mr. Night How do you feel?  How do you sleep?  How do you smile?  My wonderings of you  I don't know when it ends.
