OUR GOVERNMENT IS A CRIMINAL; WE NEED RIGHTS EDUCATION. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

The level of institutional crimes in Nigeria is too high. Unfortunately, the government and her law enforcement agencies are into crimes as well. Of course, failure to do your job is corruption and when it has to do with going against the law, that is clearly criminal. How on earth do you explain why petrol stations shut down and do not sell fuel on the pretence that they do not have products but touts and illegal people are selling fuel around. We normalise the abnormal in Nigeria and we give them names to accept them. Please, what is black market fuel directly being sold in front of the petrol filling station that has closed shop for lack of stock? If only our so called anti-corruption agencies are working, these should be the first call to curb crimes and criminalities. But what do we see? These folks have no licenses, they lack knowledge of the risks involved in the trade, they have no safety measures and indeed are engaging in purely illegal activities. Our government looks elsewh

WHY I MAKE MY KIND OF POLITICAL SUPPORT.

Image
Many a politician have called in to ask me how and why I usually make the kind of decisions I make in terms of the type of candidates I present to my audience. A lot more friends have also chosen to see me as an enemy because of how I press hard on my candidates and choices. For them, I do not allow any other views. It is tyrannical to them and unaccountable. One of the essential difference I have with other political class is that I do not support with victory at the polls as the end. Winning in an election for me is a means to an end. And guess what the end is to me? I will tell you as we drive down.  In my deepest consciousness and subconscious state, I have tried countless times to apply the tools of philosophical objectivism on myself using the scales of phenomenological epoche or bracketing of phenomenology. I have searched myself and my mind to find out why I do what I do and why I decide to support the type of candidates I support. I could find only one answer to the reason why

ANGER AND VIOLENCE IN MARRIAGE: THE DUTY OF REASONING BEFORE ACTION. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Marriage loses its meaning the moment a husband or wife lifts his or her hand against the partner. The question before that should be; what is marriage and what's the import of love in it? I pray each day that no matter my sins, God should please let me live sane. Again, please what's the essence of beating someone? A child, student, or ward is beaten for correction. Even at some point, it's useless and meaningless to beat for correction. Let's also accept that beating is punishment. But again, why do we punish? What is the reason for punishment if not to correct except for capital punishment? All punishments are for either incapacitation, deterrence, retribution, protection, restoration, rehabilitation, reformation, reparation or restitution. In the foregoing are also found the reason for death sentence. If no punishment is reasonable enough to deter the offender, protect the society, rehabilitate, retribute, restitute and recompense for the offence, then such offence

NIGERIA IS THE MOST BADLY MANAGED ENTITY IN THE WORLD TODAY: THE ESCRAVOS WORLD RECORD CRUDE OIL THEFT (CRIME) AT THE SPOTLIGHT.

Fellow country men and women, a none state actor and private security outfit led by Tompolo has just discovered a sophisticated channel and platform through which millions of barrels of crude oil are illegally acquired and stolen from Nigeria everyday. This has lasted for slightly above 40 years now as stated by an industry expert. Bear in mind along with me in this journey of mind that these young locals are not professionals, they have not been trained by the Nigerian government, they have not enjoyed the luxury of training and suchlike as relished by the retinue of Nigerian security offices like the Nigerian Armed Forces (Army, Navy and Air Force), the Nigerian Police Force (NPF), the Department of State Security (DSS), the Immigration Service, the National Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC), etc. But let us continue.  So from the discovery of Tompolo & Company, it means that Nigeria has lost approximately one million (1,000,000) barrels of crude oil per day for the last 40

OBIDIENTS: A NEW NIGERIAN IDENTITY Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

From the ashes of Nigeria From the abandonment of the olds From the destruction of the land From the relics of our frazzled greatness From the trampled sum of our grace From the disgrace of our pride From the desolate feat of our heroes It's yet a time to resound hope It's yet a time to rekindle allure It's yet a time to rise up in wisdom To the youths of Nigeria I give it To our mothers and fathers I say Turn not your love from your children Never abandon the salvation call Nigeria on her way to being saved Let Nigerians now think along this; We shall henceforth produce We shall turn our strength away From consumption to production Let this be our new creed and song This is a sound of peace and unity  And the wind of greatness blows Nigeria shall be great again Nigeria shall be greater in our time Rise up oh Compatriots! It's a time to be sure ours counts In our decision to rebuild Nigeria It's our collective resolve that matters From the ruins of this land Its gre
