SUICIDE! Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI


SUICIDE

'Twas a beautiful morning
The day, though yet to break
But light shimmers tears
The smiling morning suddenly darkened
It darkened out of the ears and not the sight
We could hear darkness though we see the breeding light
The air brought the news
One has died!

Died of his hands
And a thousand questions throng
How? Why? And for what?
He is weak, one painfully muted
But I find it difficult to accept this
I rather would think it is strength to kill oneself
No!
It is indeed weakness!

Seems strength when you think the act
Really weakness when you see the reason
Appearance against reality.

Hear some of the reasons;
I'm tired of life
He is depressed
I can no longer face it
It is difficult to continue
I think I can never succeed
The loss can't return

It is weakness to die
And don't doubt it please
Who is strong and can't face it?
Who is powerful but surrenders?
Strength speaks to life
Weakness is for death by self
Yes! Even death as usual will not attempt the stronger
Whoever is stronger will be alive
No wonder it's a shame

It's a shame to die
Whoever is killed is the weak
By death, by the other or by self
Whoever is killed is the weak
Just the weak dies
It's a shame to be weak

Whoever calls for death
That one is indeed conquered
Who will ever conquer me?
Who will even dare me?
I am strength, I am power
I am the most powerful
I shall live
I shall not die
But whenever I will die
Let me die strong
Let me die in the hands of God.

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...
