DESPAIR OF HONOUR. By KEMKA S. IBEJI

DESPAIR OF HONOUR

Call it anything else
Yes I despair
It is on my honour
Yes I despair

They can wed
They're not averse to togetherness
They cohabit and inhabit
Despair and honour
They live in me
Oh yes! They do

Filled with hope I moved
I joined the trudge to liberate
The saunter for the good
I hoped we could win
As we win the tool of service
Where are we?

Envy came on call
Enmity enjoyed her fun
Like thieves booties are shared
Our identity vanished as humans
We're now tribes
In tribes the cheating festered
The hate blossomed
And the dreams died

I despair
It's of honour
Take me out
I don't have of mine
Our nation cries
I don't enjoy the dirge

Don't serve me any relish
I'm not here for it
I'm here for our people
They hunger and thirst
Their future smiles bleak
The cries thunder

Thanks to your joy
The man or men
From the West and North
Our nation is shared
Along winners and losers
Wherever you belong
I don't care anymore
My bid is for all
Give us life that spurred us

That we may sleep with hope
Wake with obi uto
Embrace one another
It's the dream that dragged me in
I despair

I despair in honour
I despair not hate
I despair but support the good
I despair and not withdraw
I despair to say the truth
Our nation is my concern

Don't serve me the porridge
Give all their lives
As deserving to all
That we may say once again
We love our nation

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...
