In the Very Memory of My Birth and Such a Day...

KEMKA S. IBEJI
The singsong blasts golden
The jazz frames lovely and alluring
The prayers sound fulfilled and gladdening
What a life to have and to live even as it grows
When my eyes are lit with the glories of the unknown
Just as the love of virgins and the prayers of saints
My heart is warmed of the adore of the gods
My ways are fashioned with the favours of the greatest
As the heavens wake with awe and the charm of all
As the dreams grow into life and reality
Carry me with your grace never imagined
Tend me with the mercies of infants and the joy of beloved
That my eyes may see the abundance of your compassion
Create me with a wondrous spirit...
And let me see the marvels of your being
Set me on the path of immensity that the world may drink therefrom
Humble Kings and Queens at my doorstep
But raise the downtrodden with my hands
Paint my fame in gold and bring your servants to the service
Form me with love and wisdom and take no knowledge away from me
Bless my eyes for the splendid vision and potency
And amaze the world with my being and in my acts
As the days run weak, strengthen me with sound mind
Make great men and women from my existence
Mix me with wisdom, greatness, favour, and honour.
Bless this day and make it famous for my sake.

Your will not mine…

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...
