20TH OF BLOOD! Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

The heavens braced with tears
The rocks trembled aimlessly
The sky got gloom and shy
And fame was set to defame 
Then they came with shame

Yes! The world will
They will honour the young
Those who've just done noble
They lifted hope and sank fears
What is historic even to heroes

And Lekki Gate they Toll was the garden
The souls of young Nigerians were planted
And their blood watered the future of all
Those were the heroes and not victims

The nation is put into mourning
It's by those who ought keep them safe
The throne and the vigil men
They took the lives of their keepers
Casting away lights out of lives
It's a harrowing shame!

These young people are innocent
They prayed for dear country
Wearing courage as garments
They called for justice
They prayed for equality
They asked for purity of service
Requesting life from their fatherland 
But all they got is death

What a father kills his own child
Even with mouth full of the sound
That sound is echoing father 
Even as she calls him father
Oh father!

Look at the floors of the tarred Lekki
It's now a place of history of sorrow
The future leaders wasted here
What a slaughter plane it is
It's indeed a shame!

Peace has left our land
Joy has departed our leaders
They'll lead us no more
They have lost their minds
We must retrieve our wills
Here ends our deal

Get down the saddle
We now need our peace
We need our safety
We withdraw our trust
We need to live but not in fears
But one more; get down the saddle

It's 20th October o'clock
In the year Two Hundred and Twenty
Many hope faded into dims 
Those nights that shall wake
Waking eternally in our hearts

Goodnight heroes of our land
You fed this land with freedom
Freedom won with your blood
We'll surge till your dreams come 
You now will wake twice
Each day in our loving memories
One more day at the end of eternity
Goodbye on the 20th of Blood!

    Touchy
    Pains
    Worries

    Our president is a beast
    PMB is a regret
    He was asked to speak
    He sent killers

    More worried than any
    Do you know I voted him?
    A touchy painful worries.

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...
