NIGERIA: TELL ME WHO I AM Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

KEMKA S. IBEJI 
1967 to 1970 is a farce
The barrels are blaring
Victims are dying daily
My worry is the fight
Fought from only a side
Fight against an unarmed
Undeclared fight

We're not one people
Our history says this
Our belief agrees to it
Our goals diverge so much
We never had a trust
And it will never be

War fought for unity as said
Won as said by all and none
But there are spoils in hands
What are spoils if there's no victory?
But that war continued
Yes! It never ended

This war has continued
We hear no sounds but victims litter
The missiles must be dumb
Why fight one you claim to love?
What kind of love is this?
Love won at the battle field
I love you by force
Love of a predator!

Alas! It rages
A party is unaware there's war
This party is the victim
Won in the open battle
Now dying from the mute war
The war declared over to him
Don't wars abide by morality?
Why's the victim caught aback?
Where's fairness?
Impurities all the way

Born into this war
I've my parents down from shots
Shots from our enemy
But this enemy calls me son
Why call me son and kill mine?
If I refuse you as mother
You call me a hater
But when I embrace you
You pierce me deep with swords

Please Nigeria; tell me who I am
A Biafran or a Nigerian?

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...
