I WON AND WE SHALL FIGHT AGAIN! - Written by KEMKA SOLOMON IBEJI

I WON AND WE SHALL FIGHT AGAIN!

My greatest take-home is the experience. Though very costly in terms of finance but worthwhile for the purposes of times ahead. My stake is to make best use of it! I won and we shall fight again!

Yes, I set out on the mantra of building strength for political morality; I will not buy votes! It got so tempting at some point that my morality was intensely under severe test and pressure. But indeed, I won and we shall fight again!

I won knowledge!

Today I know INEC, I know our electorate, I know our political parties, I know political groupings called structures, I know loss and I know victory.

In the field, I met with friends, I also met foes. I shook the rich and also befriended the lowly. I saw faithfulness and fearlessly slept with betrayals. I appreciated truth and honesty while unknotting insincerity and deceitfulness. I won and we shall fight again!

The sounds of victory is sweet but the wisdom in loss is weightier and indeed greater. This has made me even greater than the jubilant in apparels this day. You can doubt even forevermore but I won and we shall fight again!

I swam through paradoxical antitheses; one could really feel one way but act the other way. I never knew that those who want peace could cherish and relish sleeping at the epicenter of war; our people live in abnormal paradox. You will never understand this even as a prolific researcher without adopting participant observation as a methodology. I won and we shall fight again!

Check inside the poor and you will find either illiteracy, excessive love for money, greed and dishonour. On his or her next vista you will find lowered values and dead or dying value system. Like life-threatening infections, these are the sicknesses of our political existence and spheres. I won and we shall fight again!

I shall put these to work as times come anew as shall be.

I am,
KEMKA SOLOMON IBEJI
UPP Candidate for Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Mbaise Federal Constituency, 2019.

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...
