THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA AFTER PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI (1). Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

It is important to begin this message with a measure of meekness and humility to the adequacy of historicity and the ontology of time. This is to state that every leader is unique and an appointee of his or her. To this reality we thank God for His gift of President Muhammadu Buhari at his time and age.

I do not say the foregoing as a praise singer or a hagiographer but as describe of time and chance in accordance with the truism of human existence and the facticity of our political milieu in history. He was elected by Nigerians in his time and he has done his best according to his power, posture, position and capacity. We owe him thanks and our prayers for his services to our country Nigeria.

The time has come for exchange of baton and the processes have begun. It is a fact that in this, the people are saddled with the responsibility of making choice for the next President of Nigeria in 2023. However, the leaders and kingmakers also have the primal duty to present the alternatives to the people.

The questions therefore should be;

What type of leader do Nigerians want in 2023 and beyond?

What type of president do Nigerians deserve in 2023?

In answering the questions above, we must begin to investigate the characters that have rendered themselves for our choice.

Before we make this all important choice, there are certain things we need to bring to light to guide us in our choice making. A particularly important one should be the Nigerian situation and predicaments of the moment.

Our country is sitting on the tip of insecurities. The cost of living has gone too high while inflation bites hard. Our education has gone down in quality and the students have been at home for a while now. We have been consuming more than we produce such that we can be eligibly tagged a consumption economy. Our balance of trade is horrible and our exchange rate is a nightmare. Our crude oil and other mineral resources that are supposed to be blessings to us are unfortunately near curse. The wrong things have taken centre stage and the judiciary has gone down and justice is now a wonder.

With the above realities and much more unmentioned experiences, we can rehearse the questions; who do Nigerians want, deserve and desire as their next President in 2023?

THE OUTLAWS IN THE SOUTHWEST AND THEIR ENABLER: THE AREA BOY CALLED OBA OF LAGOS Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

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...
