THIS PEACEFUL WORLD!

As if I was about thinking!
Ouch! It is as though am casting blames
Our place is great and so nice
Everything is good and kind to all of us
All we have lost is the mind
Just the mind and that alone
What else remains?

Every bit of us is sore unsafe
What a community of shame
The men we pay to save are murderers
Our sleep is maimed and slaughtered
Our peace is sold to dreams
Our welfare has become an expensive imagination
What remains of life here?

Life has lost meaning and values are dead
Culture has become a word of confusion
Just as truth is buried, words have lost meaning
We now talk without communicating
Understanding has left human existence
Crises and wars have become intense reality
They just happen and no reasons are fastened
Is there anything more left for knowledge?

Men of wisdom are almost all gone
The rest are hurriedly getting set to leave
What hope is here for us?
Has death become the only resort?

The happiest days seem already spent
The rest of it is unknown to us
Today is full of fear and awe
Tomorrow smiles so uncertain and bleak
The only day enjoyed is the past
Though it was with tears and grief

Our leaders are un-selfless warriors charging for self
Oh! How are their savings kept by woes!
They run away from life to embrace death
Where has knowledge gone? Whither wisdom!
Only if we can think, we may live awhile in peace
Life is no more!
If it does exist, we may never know anymore
And if we ever know, our knowledge wanes in fear

The world has lost concord
Is knowledge not the bride of agreement?
And nothing makes sense thenceforth
Sorrows are melodies of the present
Arts now mirror death and want of values
The only reality left for the unborn is death and no value
What else?

Is it the same in the land of the dead?
Where is hope and solace?
When will our souls know peace again?
When will human accord return?

Oh! How I wish!

    The world needs to learn love in its true sense. LOVE IS TOUGH!!! Love requires forgiveness. Forgiveness allows for tolerance which births true peaceful co-existence. Forgiveness can be attained through practice & divine grace... no wishful thinking can fix the world. We all must take personal responsibility by being the change the world requires. Living exemplary lives begets admiration & emulation. The bedrock of philosophy... changing the mind by being the change... through LOVE & only love.

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...
