THE COLONIALIST IS AT THE DOOR Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI


Africa, my great Africa!

The cradle of civilization

The first light sighter

Africa, the giant humiliate

Wake up dear Africa


Africa broke the chest of wisdom

Africa smacked the lock of lights

Africa gave knowledge to the world

Africa trained all Thinkers of the world 

Africa got humiliated in repayment


Our fathers were made slaves

Our mothers, sisters and daughters raped

Our children were destroyed before us

Our freedom called but halfway


Africa fights for the half freedom

Nearly a century now, we've fought on

The gains are much but about to go


Who do we want to serve in Niger?

The enemies are lurking like vultures

They feast on carcasses and spoils

The African carcasses they relish

Their meal for years uncountable


The colonisers are here again

The colonialist is at the door

The colonialists knock so deafening

Keep this door shut now

Where is our wisdom Africa

Our ancestors were so witty

What has happened to their offsprings

Do we now die in ignorance?

Let's not get into the open arms

The arms of our colonisers are ajar

Their teeth are yawning for ours

Let's not crumble


Africa oh Africans

Rise up to wisdom and awe

Defend our land with wits

Let our reasoning blaze as blade

Send the enemies home in shame

The colonialist is at the door.

Shut this door and forever shut it


Rise up oh Africa!

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

Image
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...
