NOISOME BREEZES Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI


With so many shades

It flows but not like water

Not like the flood or stream

It's not like fountain either

It cooks sweet and sour

The sweet-sour and soured sweet


Bringing tiny pieces into one

Ticking, humming and more

It consumes the wind

Turning nothing to power


It moves the old and little

Sometimes with jumps

Sometimes with shakes

Smiles and face movements

Isn't it called dance?


What does it do to warriors?

Does it give them power?

Power to kill or what?

The strength to surge

When they say morale


What about lovers?

Why do they employ it?

Many works for lovers maybe

Call them out yourself

It's the food of love they say


And for the rituals

Worshippers are habitual

 And its hold on the spirits?

Of good and bad equally?

In invocations and exaltations?

I don't know what is mystery


Tell me about you dear

Why do you lift a crowd?

Get them from one world to another?

How does ecstasy come?

Their pains gone

Their anger vanished

Their anxiety won

Where are your hands please?


Breezes of charm

How daring you are

Soothing pains and cries

Like the smile of many virgins

You lift souls into joy

When will you come to my abode?

To live with my wife and me forever

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...
