THIS MALTREATMENT Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI


Laughing in dark minds

Such smiles that floats 

Talking love but full of hate

Wants respect but disrespects

Murderers relishing their lives 

It feels like hypocrisy or so

Tell me, I don't know please


While in the best mansions

Mansions called cathedrals

In the best of apparels

Garments of cost and worth

The luxuries of priests and laity

No one bothers, no one worries


With sweet winds of sorts

Claps, timbrels, strings and drums

Water and oils in their hands

They visit others with violence

Worshippers of African manner

They're the others and victims 

Turning themselves to lords

They judge all else evil and ill

Them alone are good and none

People of the cathedrals 


African brethren who prides not

Humility is a part of their rituals

Under trees and decors of shrines

Humbly dressed, lowly bending

Undying faith in worship, honour

Praying good and for all

Never saying ill on the cathedral


From the cathedrals they come

With all intents to desecrate

Falling down the shrines

Burning down sacred tools

They live cosy and in peace

But shrines unknown are enemies

They must kill and destroy it


Where is peace, where is love? 

Is this how they must worship?

The gODS of the church

Why this hate and violation?

When shall it stop or end?

When shall Africa gain justice?

Justice from this maltreatment.

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...
