WHY THE WORLD, AFRICA & NIGERIA NEED PHILOSOPHERS NOW THAN EVER!!!

The world is being overtaken by the idea of terror and suffers the spate of its negative effects which thrive on the lack or bankruptcy of values.
Human values can be found within the precincts of philosophy as a vital ingredient to social existence.
However, one would most sincerely approve of the fact that low or no concentration on the metaphysics of values, and essentially human values, can be blamed on the confirmable huge focus on scientific productions and products without a littlest measure upon man/human/personhood as such.
The reality that impinges on our knowledge and subtle to our subconscious states is that at both paramount and primal ends of science is the human person. For this quiet reason, one can say without fear of mistake that science ought to be a humble servant of man.
How true has the above assertion been? This must be left for your answer.
Yes! Man is the subject of science as her indispensable producer and ineluctable user.
Therefore, the abandonment of the human person and her essential values has further alienated the being of the entire matter - organic and inorganic. The consequence is an abominable awe.
Man has rejected himself first and now the other. This means that if you do not count or see your own life as a worthy structure of value, how therefore and what morals will you have to keep, save, adore or see reason to life of another person.
Now that human beings have lost it all and the world is at the verge of woes, there is no other worthy time to call on our GREAT PHILOSOPHERS than now.
At one time in history THE GREAT PHILOSOPHERS created Religion(s) and they solved certain prevalent problems. At another time they created Laws to guide humans in the society. The Law and lawyers did their bits but then... The PHILOSOPHER also created further Science to enhance life and it has done great and small respectively.
We need not tell a lot more than this fact; that all the philosophical creations of the THINKERS have graciously done service at their good life span sides but grave disservice once their needs are served; they destroy at age.
The gravest destruction at the age of science is TERRORISM among many more.
The GREAT PHILOSOPHERS of our time can help once again to create yet another solution to thunder down terror and re-establish value to human life and human kind...
Only then can we be of healthy heart and mind even to re-echo the humanly faced maxim that "Man is the measure of all things, of the things that are that they are, and of the things that are not, that they are not".

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

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...
