THE DANGERS OF TRUTH Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI


Proverbially you'll have to say

That's if you're able to see

But otherwise as unassumed

It turns out you'll have to see

If you ever could say a thing

We plant wrongs all farms

We await a harvest of goods

It's a travesty we live in


Our masters are a terror

Correct them to your peril

Condemn them to your grave

Who'er they? Dare not say

Pens have gone silent 

Voices have been muted

Maids of all serve just a few

But don't make a sound


Who sings praises all day

In good and in bad is all

Do it while drowning 

Stomachs are all that matter

Do it once more to be alive

You'll eat or live malnourished

Whichever way, one is certain

Live as dead and die as living 

Certitude of the day


Opposite standers are same

You must agree with them

You'll die if otherwise

Fascism outside temple

Temple of common will's admin

Lest we all die in a swoop

Let's prostrate to might

Justice is dead and no more

We're here just as our beasts

We've lost all differing essences

We're the beasts and beasts us


It's now our ethos

Ethos of those who have slightly

Slightly the voice of truth

Truth to say and be mindly free

Free to die in peace

Peace in your grave perhaps 

And this is our ethos;

If you say the truth, you'll die

If you don't, you'll also die

So say the truth and die

What a dangerous truth?

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...
