A DIRGE AT THE GRAVE OF JAMIKE IBEJI Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Spl. Snr. Ap. Jamike Ibeji 
Like the breeze we feel
Life is nothing to hold on
When you think you have it
It strikes venomous to leave
The toiling, the hustles
The bustling and cravings
They're all wishful and no more
Vain as null are all I see

Those who make peace die
Those who wage wars die
Those who save life die
Those who murder also die
Who's friend is death?
Who do I ask this thirsty question?

You gave life and hope
You lifted minds with peace
You made homes gain love
You made worship a fun
Your life was never idle
You were an example
A star that pierced the dark

Woe unto death
It's at peace with griefs
Woe unto death
It laughs when crying louds
But where does death live?
What's her nature?
A thing, being or nothing?
Her movement is blind
It hits as it goes
It doesn't matter where you sit or stand

Hello Power!
Can you still hear your name?
Gentleman of peace
Lover of so many
Meek and wondrous
Those who hate you don't have life
Mightiness of absolutely Gentility
Pain of the evil beings
Killer of peace destroyers
Giant of humility and gusto
Raw material of wisdom
Magnet of romance
The charm of the world

The connector and bridge
The General of networks
Wonder man of relationships
Bond merchant
Social connectivity lord
Business machine
Moral counsellor
Oh preacher by act!

What a way to bow out?
With such noisome silence
You slipped across
What a skillful quiescence
That with so much daze
You stunned the world
How did you do this JamPower?

Goodbye my magic tiger
Goodnight magnificent allure
Go well the mechanic of minds
Let the angels fan you into repose
Oh Power! Please say goodbye to cryers
You kept moving and never turned
Rest in peace Dedem Jamike

It's indeed over with death...

    My dear Kemka, please accept my sympathy and my condolences to the entire Ibeji family. You have said it all. There is no any other way Power can be defined. All we are asking is for God to accept his soul and give him eternal rest. Amen

    What??? Still in shock of our beloved brother's passing into glory. I never met him, but we spoke by phone and I heard so many funny stories about his humour. I also heard he was a man of the people. Oh Death, where is thy sting?.Power Jamike Ibeji, you have lived, conquered and now resting in the bossom of Jesus Christ. I am lost gor words, is this how life is so short?

    Whatever we the living are doing on earrth, do it for God's glory. Life is just nothing. May God comfort all Ibeji family and friends worldwide in Jesus mighty name. Still in shock, just heard this a few hours ago. I am sorry to hear this. God bless his soul. Rest well, dear Brother.

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...
