WHO WILL HELP ME FAST-FORWARD THIS REGIME. Written by Prof. Godfrey O. Ozumba

Image
Before now I had held my peace counting down on the days left for this administration to wind down. Each passing day increased the tempo of my joy. Because, this meant that our days of captivity are reducing. But, you know what, with the opening of the recent can of worms concerning our Accountant General, followed by  NIMAMSA Chair alleged to have cornered our patrimony to the tune of billions and trillions respectively, I became sick and bewildered. The one year left for this  administration now seems an eternity for me. This is why I am looking for someone who will help me fast-forward this regime and bring it to an abrupt close before we all perish.  As if those were not enough another news came that one Nsima Ekere stole his billions, then, came Senator Okorocha now in EFCC for also stealing his own billions. This thriving competition of stealing now in billions and trillions should bother every well meaning Nigerian. This is the reason why our government cannot and will never be

THE CRIMINALS IN OUR UNIVERSITIES ARE THE MANAGERS! Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

I blame the government for their weakness, irresponsibility, insensitivity and crass failure to protect the Nigerian University Students and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). One would have blamed ASUU for fighting the wrong person if he or she doesn't understand the runnings of the university system here in Nigeria. Let me shock you a little with how irresponsible our government is; The government say that our federal universities are tuition free. In fact, in my days in the university, I usually take cognizance of the breakdown of the fees on my receipts. I will always see tuition fees as either #100 or so. That actually was supposed to be all the fees paid by any undergraduate in any of our federal universities. But what happens? The university administration takes all manner of fees running into tens of thousands then and create further avenues for more money like, remedials, consultancy, Diplomas, and so on. They take exorbitant fees across departments and facil

WHY SEN. BOLA AHMED TINUBU AND ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR WILL FALL AT THE RISE OF MR. PETER OBI IN 2023. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

I said it earlier that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is here in 2023 to learn national politics. Nigeria is definitely not Lagos State. He doesn't have the national spread and exposure. Appointing people from different tribes or states in Nigeria is not having the requisite knowledge and exposure. Boom! He chose Sen. Kashim Shettima as his running mate. This man has heavy baggage on his back and will complicate issues for Tinubu. He was on the national TV talking like a teddy bear before the presidential primary election where he was busy insulting the Vice President of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo. While those who don't understand sanity were clapping, some of knew it was already a bad omen for whoever he is drumming support for. And to worsen all, the arrogance he shares with Tinubu made them to take Nigerians for granted by fielding Muslim-Muslim ticket. Same faith ticket is not acceptable to Nigerians and especially at the moment. Maybe at some other time when religion is

MY UNCHANGING STAND ON THE IPOB, ESN AND THE EVILS OF UNKNOWN GUNMEN. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

I am unapologetic to the world on my biases towards the consciousness of Biafra and the pursuit of her dreams as a people. I say this as an Igbo son whose life, at one point or the other, has been touched and affected by the idea of Biafra. Along my genealogy, fathers, uncles, aunties, brothers and sisters were killed, raped, dehumanised, humiliated, subjugated and rendered to the earth in ignominy by the reality of the Civil War - the Biafran War. Every Igbo son or daughter has something to say about Biafra, good or bad. We grew to have our identity shaped and woven around the happenings and activities of the Biafran people who were massacred by Nigerian soldiers during that war. We were told that a few soldiers, in their actions, killed people and fellow Nigerian citizens who were in the hold of political power. The Nigerian government and people turned around to blame it on a race - the entire Igbo people in the world. They moved out for destruction and annihilation of the tribe an

WHEN DEATH IS DEAD Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Speak to me oh wind of love Take your grip deeper to my essence Feel my heart with the burning fire Such flames that melt the heart for good That I met set my eyes on humanity And see just good, love and kindness If I see today, let the light be love The power of my sight and the guts Consume me and tender me to good Do not defile my being with hate That which kills from its birth Grow my heart upon the grasses Such grasses the raise seeds Oh spirit of love, if you must be evil Get me a fool that harms no heart Make me a slave to just a lover That my organs fill her cup Time and again with lives as fruits I shall sing you a song That which fades not in an age As the minds burns it forever Let me dance to your heart beat Oh beautiful being found in my heart  That we sing, dance and fade off Fade into eternity and live forever

ON ASUU AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: THE GOVERNMENT IS THE CULPRIT PLEASE. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
I do not blame the unclear intentioned ASUU in any way. This is not to exonerate them. I do not know what ASUU wants, I do not understand the depth of their cleanliness and I do not have so much blame for them, if any. ASUU members sell admissions, they publish unresearched pieces in the name of handouts, they sell the empty handouts to students, they force their students to buy the books, they extort students, they sell results, they sleep with their students for marks, and much more. The university administration does not account to anyone of the school fees paid by students, they do not account to anyone for the several fees and bills paid by the students, most universities have no accommodation for the students, and the universities net in billions of Naira from the fees and bills paid by the students. Every now and then, we hear and read university Vice Chancellors being in EFCC cells for financial crimes running into billions and they end up walking home and nothing happens. ASUU

A REAPPRAISAL OF HITHERTO EXPERT APPRAISALS OF THE 2023 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN NIGERIA Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
The political analysts, bookmakers and pundits who have put down their checks and outcome of their ideas on the 2023 Presidential Election have gone one way. It has therefore become unavoidably necessary to reexamine their minds, factors, facts hypotheses and premises and thereby making sure to find either corroboration or falsification of their pontifications. Let us tell ourselves some particular realities about their deposits to wit; 1. They all have done their analysis based on very wrong hypotheses. They are all wrong. 2. Their various experiments ran on sentiments and are therefore illogical and non sequitur. They held their heads up on what seems to be popular sentiments since they hinged their minds on the views by majority of partisan folks. These predictors willingly went on committing the fallacy of argumentum ad populum.  3. All their predictions so far have remained premature as many factors that will impact the election are yet to be activated. They excluded middles and c
