OUR LEADERS SERVE THE SELF Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Just early in the morning
Even as I wake to daylights
From the shimmering morning rays
To the blistering noon shines
Then the soothing departing glimpses
They serve not themselves
It's all about others and all 

It rains on all and sundry
Washing off the unwanted
Refreshing all things possible
Adding strength to nature
And power to humanity
It just serves others and all

The sweet breezes
Sauntering our cardinal points
With grace and glamour
Giving to life all it could offer
It does it so joyously
Just for all matter and all

The trees have done even theirs
Carrying the winds in their arms
Their services are for all
The lilies and roses?
Their fragrance and allure
Who do they not bless

From the butterflies to maggots
Don't they pollinate and farm?
Their works we know are for all
The bee and the termites
They and others feed and nourish us

The sun and moon
They warm and brighten others
The rains water and winds refresh
The tress and flowers spread
Flies and ants do their bits
Can you imagine that?
It's all about others and not self

Why have you not wondered?
Haven't you worried about it?
Do they not seem more reasonable?
Can our leaders be their equals?
Who's better and who should?
Tell it to yourself!

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...
