I FAIL IN LOVE AND ROSE FOR WISDOM. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI


I have failed many times
Much more than all that know me
I have fallen countless times
All in my bids to rise

I'm yet the smallest amongst them
Who measure themselves against me
I've been bruised, battered, worn out,
Tired but never diminished

Each fall has increased me
A thousand more times and they know
Those who pride of their prized accolades
Every failure has raised my sight
To great remarks that change the world
And many others that will impact

I have been mocked by many
More by those who assess themselves
By their temporal  acquisitions
I have also got jeers from a lot
Who place themselves at the center of perfection

They in turn have only been mocked
Shamed by my unabashed acceptance
Yes! Of my weaknesses
My imperfections, my frailties
My ignorance and my being just me

I've got strength in all
It's the zeal to learn, to improve
And to return to the battle front

Never say die!

My ignorance got me wisdom
My weaknesses made me a warrior
My frailties announced me a hero
My imperfections purified me for knowledge

I will keep the fire burning
Burning the deserts where ignorance reign
I will Blaze the set stage
Just to raise humanity from bizarre insanity
I will trudge on all dangers
If it brings home with me the social salvation
It is in dire need where we come from

My dreams are so tall
Even giants are turned dwarfs
The greatests become little
Simpletons may scorn irrepressibly
But look! I'm poised
Possessed by love for wisdom
She's my greatest admiration
I can get amorous for it
Crushing unconcerned
Don't think about time span
Anytime like endlessly
I'm hers
She Conquers dreams
She makes them my maids

Oh spirits of knowledge
Take my arms in love
Be my bride
I'll be your pride
Take me up without dropping
I'm thine and thine at all times
I bleed emotions for thee
My eyes are replete
With uncontrollable urge for thee
Your allure has overtaken me
I'm thine and I'm thine

When we mate finally
We shall deliver peace

I am,
KEMKA S. IBEJI
Lover of Wisdom

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...
