WHY IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT KILLING NIGERIANS? Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

KEMKA S. IBEJI 
Why is the Federal Government bent on killing Nigerians? Why is Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Federal Ministries of Health and Science & Technology so dumb and daft that they can't think of anything else apart from being beggars on the international stage?

Or is there any other thing behind this Coronavirus or Covid-19 pandemic which they are not telling Nigerians? What is really the problem? Mr. President Muhammadu Buhari with his political party the APC enjoying the deaths and sufferings of Nigerians from this Covid-19? What is actually going on?

Having just watched Professor Maurice Iwu who is a professor of pharmacology with specialization in pharmacognosy on a national TV precisely TVC. Same conversation and interview is pervading YouTube and open to the world.

The man (Professor Maurice Iwu) made elaborate explanation on the drugs he already has which has NAFDAC number and in the market which can cure the Covid-19. A product of thorough scientific research which was tested by the Chinese on approximately 8,000 people.

His explanations are so encouraging and the pharmaceutical products are advanced, modernized and acceptable to the world. The professor is not asking for funds from the government and he is not requesting anything else than the the authority of the government on formalization and formalities which only government can give. Why are NCDC, Ministries of Health, Science & Technology and even Information ignoring that?

We read of Madagascar and Senegal but what Professor Maurice Iwu already has is at far advanced level when compared with what these countries have. It is very disturbing to find out that he has made necessary advances to the government. And even if he has not done so, are the ministries and agencies so idle at this crying moment that they cannot research around to find out what is possible? Not even looking outside but inward first.

Please can the DG of NCDC, the Ministers of Ministry of Health, Ministry of Science and Technology and Ministry of Information, tell us why this Federal government is doing this? Nigeria should be feeling so horrible that they have a handy solution for this international embarrassment but prefer to stay aloof allowing lives to painfully waste and the economy to crumble. What type of leadership do we have in this country?

Maybe we have to remind them that the international stage for pharmaceutical business is not an exclusive preserve of Europeans and Americans. India is not better than Nigeria after all.

Maybe they have to be informed that providing solution to this pandemic can help our national image, our economy and save us from the recession and possible depression that is about to hit the world. Maybe they need to understand the impact of this pandemic to our only commodity in the world market - the crude oil. If only the government is knowledgeable enough, they should have known that this pandemic has reviewed the positions of the countries of the world.

Nigerians should be sick and tired of coming online and switching their radios and televisions each day to see folly in the name of announcing contracts and deaths from this virus that already has a remedy from within. The President and the Federal Executive Council should be answering questions from Nigerians by now. What are they doing?

The economy is going down, people are locked in at homes and we all now live in fears and uncertain of the next moment. The government should be aware that locking their citizens in their homes to cut the chain of spread of the virus is merely precautionary and not even preventive or solution. They should realize that even if all Nigerians are tested today and those who are positive either die or saved or both, it is not the end of Covid-19. We may also have more cases whenever our borders are flung open as they must be. So do we have to go through many more regimes of shut down and lockdowns?

If only the government had engage her own domestic professionals who are willing and able, we did not need to close down our economy for a hundred (100) hours. This government would have been celebrated by the world and especially her citizens. They pharmaceutical world would have shipped in some hard currencies into Nigeria aiding to balance our trade and eventually impact our exchange from this comatose in our current experience. It would have turned the eyes of the world to Nigeria and Africa and reduce the ignominy we have suffered from Europe for too long. This also would have helped us a little, if it is not all we need, to get out of the present neocolonialism.

One will not fail to remind the government of the image of Africa and Nigeria in the minds of those they are waiting for help from. This is worldly and internationally exhibited by the French doctors who were keen on using Africa and Africans as Guinea pigs and specimens to test their vaccines. This calls for a national cry when, in the presence of all this, the government has remained unthinking and adamant to procuring the abundantly available remedies to save her citizens.

If this continues, we may mobilize the civil society to sue this government for negligence and genocide. This is nothing less than mass murder of the citizenry by their own government.

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...
