WHY I MAKE MY KIND OF POLITICAL SUPPORT.

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 I struggle each day to support anyone I support in politics.

At all the time, my answer has dragged me back to the crux of utilitarianism which is a philosophical school of thought with the great charter; "the greatest interest of the greatest number".

That consistent answer to my unending self-examination has, perhaps since politics is a species axiology, been attuned and acclimatised to ethical utilitarianism. And to this end I can gladly tell you that the determination of my choice of leaders, and especially my presidential candidate in this presidential election of 2023, is just "the greatest good of the greatest number of Nigerians".

I have, maybe, been fascinated by philosophical utilitarianism on this all important issue because I do not want to be as undemocratic as truth. Of course, I have taken to this submission because I understand the latitude of choice and the freewill of the rest. It is for this reason that I go with the greatest number.

Call it anything you wish, but as a Philosopher I go with the tyranny of the majority (or majoritarian tyranny) in the sense of the "quantity of good to the quantity of persons". I take up and imbibe this idea for a reason; I know and agree that the minority should always have their say while the majority must always have their way.

But note that when I say the majority, I only intend to mean the amount of good therein for the largest number of our people. I am also therefore not unmindful of sadism and sadists. They are not my concern because they will remain in the minority since they fall within the labyrinthine of the abnormal. Those who wish evil upon themselves exist but they can be counted on your fingers because abnormal things come in singles.

In conclusion therefore, my choice is a factor of more good to more of our citizens. A better and greater society for all... 

God bless Nigeria!

I am,

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...
