SEX: A ‘FAITH’ Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI


SEX: A 'FAITH'

 It is the dance I call pleasure!
Taking the bodies aflame it burns as though never to end
It has a place of worship, the harps to strike and sacrifices to make
Taking strong minds by wind and fainting them so frail
The adorable silence at the hind of doors
Just as that atmosphere for meditation
The respect it takes down this shrine
Igniting feelings that only an act of discharge can douse
The sense of frenzy and the charms of sight-cast

Many incantations and many more rituals
Many songs it takes and employs to drive the prophesy
Out of the trumpet bells the praises are sung to cheer the hope
Then come the pleadings of the harps men; the prayers in this temple
Songs? Of many genres and tunes
Just as different spirits according moments of this ritual
For praises, for prayers, and for thanksgiving
Oh! Maybe the croon and howl for ultimate pleasure

The music, rhymes and rhythms
The instrument unknown and perhaps the movements
It might severally confuse; the praises and plea

Kids usually become priests and command elders
Yes ma! Yes ma!!
Elders become followers especially servants to their Eros
Pains of joy and the epicurean sorrows
The pains whose extinguishers are graciously avoided
What we mourn keeps our joy; a cry for no death
A time for the ‘Holy Ghost’; a time to receive the grace
The muttering and unaired chattering

When the spirit is taking charge; possessing 
Such sounds that one prays not to come to an end
Many cry, many weep, many shout while others scream
At the end, the clouds are cleared
The bowls emptied and the vessels filled
The bliss that comes as though to stay eternally
But what next?

The spirits have left the scene
Now we are humans once again
But what were we seconds ago?
Gods? No!
Angels? Who knows?
Worshippers? Maybe yes.
A day of worship is gone

Another day of worship must come!

THE OUTLAWS IN THE SOUTHWEST AND THEIR ENABLER: THE AREA BOY CALLED OBA OF LAGOS Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
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...

LET US CLING TO THE OLD SCIENCE TILL MODERN SCIENCE CLEARS OUR SUSPICION OF ITS ILLEGITIMATE GIFT TO FEMINISM IN THE SCIENCE OF REPRODUCTION Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
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...
