THE DIAMOND FROM THE FESTIVAL Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI


Diamond is a priceless stone

It is found as symbolising 

Standing for Strength? Yes

Love is particular with it

Still in Health, it's remarkable

But here comes festival

A time to pick a diamond

We dearly need him

A diamond from the festival 


Diamonds come on festivals

At festivals, they give health 

Our homes are sick of no safety

Frail and starved amidst plenty

Trudging on treasures and so poor

Made wretched by skills of the mind

The mind that leads the way 

Trashing much feed but famished

Our homes are dens of mines

We sleep unsure to wake

We wake uncertain of next

Peace has gone so far away 

We need a diamond, it's festival


Our strength is fainting fast

Our gait is dwindling deeper

Our charm is faltering firmly

The days ahead are wanting 

The nights sleep no longer

Do you know collective power

Daunting dangerously scarce

Weakly in need to rise and fight 

The festival is a gift of strength

We need a diamond, it's festival


We just need to heal

Tell me love is everything

Love gets the sick bed fallow

Love brings more together

The unity brings strength

Unity also births might

Might, here comes the festival

Oh festival of choice

We see diamond in your grip

For our strength, health and love

We need that in your grip

Give us oh festival

Our choice is just diamond

And the diamond is him

He is Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu



Definition of concepts (symbolisms):

Festival is election.

Diamonds symbolise strength, love and health.

Strength, love and health are needs of Nigeria today.

Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu is the diamond

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...
