IS IT NOT ABSOLUTELY UNLAWFUL FOR THE NIGERIAN JUDICIARY, THE ENTIRE COURTS AND JUDGES IN NIGERIA WHO ARE A PARTY TO THE CASE TO SIT AS THE ADJUDICATOR AS WELL? A CONTEMPLATION OF A LAW OF LAWS IN THE CASE OF DELE FAROTIMI VS AFE BABALOLA. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
It is trite to legal commonsense that no system judges itself. And as the legal dictum states in the Latin phrase "Nemo judex in causa sua" that translates to "no one should be a judge in their own case". It's a fundamental principle of natural justice and constitutionalism that ensures impartiality in legal proceedings. The principle of nemo judex in causa sua originated in Roman law and was crystallized into a phrase by Edward Coke in the 17th century. It is however enshrined and found in legal systems around the world.  When the judiciary, including courts, judges, or lawyers, is accused as a party to a case, this creates a significant conflict, not only of interest but, populates the national social and political landscape with legalistic mines and destructive sands of natural law fabrics. Assuming you are a judge and eventually is caught in a crime, irrespective of the enormity, and the case is brought to you to judge yourself, what do you think you will do...

INSIPID NIGERIA Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
It's a den like terrible here  It's difficult not to think this Everyone here is a criminal  Everyone is encouraged to be Our money houses are extortionate  Our safe keepers are quiet robbers  Our will custodian is a treachery  The crown looks like a crook  Our lives are in utter danger Justice sings elegy and dirge  Its temple is a bazaar mall Why not call it a supermarket? Judgements are wares in shelves  We hope for a showroom soon  The priests and priestesses war The bounty is prize for the winner  The bench and bar cook us a meal The meal is injustice Shame took a flight  Constable and his masters kidnap  Our weapons to protect are nightmares  The state of nature is a joke  We live in the nature of state  The sovereign relishes all We may never get well, not soon  Wake me up from this sleep The dreams are after my life  It's insipid living in such a time  Livid? It won't serve either  Let...

THIS IS NOT A WAY TO LEAD A PEOPLE. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
It's severally too wrong from those saying that Peter Obi wouldn't have dared the reforms that Chief Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is attempting. The point is that the reforms are premature and malicious. They're malicious because the ruler is a tribalist and doesn't care about the rest of the country. He's on the Nigerian table to administer the Yorubas and nothing more or less. The pure and clear knowledge is that Peter Obi would have prepared the ground and make it ripe for the reform such that it won't be like a punitive association where one man is seen clearing the table into his bag while others starve home. Those who are also building the economy of Lagos come from the East, West, North and South. Most times I think the recent leadership of Nigeria lack so much in ideology. They run our communities and society without a philosophy. It was Bertrand Russell who averred that "The man who has no tincture of philosophy goes through life imprisoned in the pr...

The Charter of Imperialism. By Samuel Malonga

Do you know why the African elite, African wealth and African heads of state are at the service of the West? Do you know why apartheid, colonization, neocolonialism and even Françafrique existed? Do you wonder why Africans are poor when their continent is full of so much wealth? Have you ever wondered why the black continent only knows despots who squander public funds without a qualm that they then deposit in the West? Do you know why African nationalists (Lumumba, Sankara, Edouardo Mondlane or Amilcar Cabral) were assassinated? Do you know why the peoples of Africa are gagged or why Western "democrats" endorse dictatorship and roll out the red carpet to welcome with pomp the potentates who govern us? The Franco-Ivorian Mireille Saki found the answer to all these questions at the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium. There she discovered an unpublished document that had long been kept secret: the Charter of Imperialism . In this protocol of 28 articles is th...

IT'S ALL SENDING CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BERIEVED

Image
A Party Greatly Aggrieved  Few minutes ago, I just read a piece of news that the Supreme Court has finally given judgement settling the long years of leadership tussles in APGA National Working Committee (NWC). I don't know how it feels both ways when congratulatory message is sent to those who have lost a loved one or even lost ones. Do we rather say it's misplaced or erroneous? Whichever way, I think it means nothing except that it's meaninglessly important. The victory and the defeat are all loss. APGA is dead and buried so fighting for the soul of APGA is exactly fighting for the corps of the dead. Of what use is it please? The New APGA  APGA died when Victim Oye, in company of Whilly Obiano led and supervised the blatant rape and violation of our people in 2019. The once strongest party in Nigeria died. The only political party that was both a movement and a faith system lost its strength and waned. It will never be well for those who did that to APGA and Ndị Igbo in g...

THEY'VE CAPTURED THE CATHEDRAL By KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
Amen, Hallelujah, Glory  It sounds like the Almighty is within  Ouch! You're gone in a moment  Their eyes on your belief and faith  Cassock, Collar, Cross Pendant  The congregation is in trouble  Like peddlers, pushers and hookups  Like gifters, tricksters and sharks  The ritual is the same  The goal is also just one Heaven cries, salvation suffers The cathedral is in flames  Burning from the fuels of lusts  Beelzebub, mammon recklessly feast On oath, crime mongers are here They've subdued whatever  Here's the cathedral  Cathedral is the Holy Ground  Goodness me! Swears, cognition is amiss  Who am I seeing here? Politician, Celebrity or Priest? The difference is no more  Oneness in potency and act  Only the perspective of perceiver They've captured the cathedral  The outlaws!

ISN'T IT NIGERIA IN OUR EYES? By KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
We're entangled with the confusion  We're in a severely muddled pond It seems like abyss and a pond Nothing is real, nothing is unreal Everything is unreal, everything is real  It's our world and we live in it Olden days bads are norms now Disdains of then are celebrities of now Common will custodians  turn usurpers  Our guards are robbing and raping us Friends of God are living in hades  We're urged to say more? No wonder! Morality left the law The temple of justice's sty of outlaws  My attorney's a head hunter  My Lord is a criminal  It feels like hades is here Our pens are bleeding falsehood  Our gowns are misleaders  Our pulpits tell lies and deceive Our people are eating sands But a few praise the Rock of Aso It's a wondrous world, it's Nigeria  Don't let us mention Africa  Wake me up from this nightmare  It shall be alright one day Waning never on hopes Just one day soon...

THE TYRANNY OF MERIT. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
Unarguably, the best ever activity for humanity is philosophising. You would not have imagined a province of all. A place where reasoning is done for its own sake, where every problem has a solution, every solution becomes a problem and everything else is in a state of perpetual flux. It's indeed a space to be. This is a bit of what the practice of philosophy can be. I was privileged to sit in a postgraduate defense in a university in Nigeria recently. It took place in their Philosophy Department. In the course of the defense, the candidate sprang to a sub-topic titled "The Tyranny of Merit". Obviously, this work is a moment in the discourse of meritocracy. Of course, meritocracy instantiates a government or the holding of power by people selected according to merit. It takes off its flight on the pads of attempts to establish or attain a society governed by people selected according to merit. Every philosophy student by now should have known that this is an intellectual ...

PRESS STATEMENT ON THE US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION BY KEMKA IBEJI VICTORY ORGANIZATION (KIVOrg).

Image
Today, the 5th of November, 2024 will be in the history of the United States as well as the world for importance. As Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris chase the seat of the US, we remind them of the peace of the world and the significant position of the US. On the foregoing, I enjoin the citizens of the US to go out and perform their civic duty with utmost civility. Just as every other country of the world, the US is populated by humans and we want their choices to be respected and not subverted. Elections, like every tissue of prism through which justice is glimpsed, must be conducted in a manner that shines truth at all minds and renders doubt impossible. In this respect, I admonish all necessary and duty bound corporate and individual persons in this election to uphold the finest of service mindedness and impeccable service delivery. This should be done with tops of the reverence for the identity of the United States which must rest on Justice & Equality. Of this is done, the sh...

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...

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...

ON THE SUPREME COURT JUDGEMENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTONOMY AND THE BITTERNESS OF MR. JAMES IBORI: A LOGICAL PICK AND PUNCTURE. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
I took a little time out to read the so long a tweet by Mr. James Ibori on X. Beautiful as it may have seemed in his mind before he threw it at the courts of the citizens, they wear every coat of angered respondent who has premeditated to courts while waiting to spank them. Like a man in an ambush, Mr. James Ibori surfaced with such alacrity of a man who has caught his enemy on acts of mortal sin and wishes to believe that his (enemy's) life now rests restive in his (Ibori's) own palms. Mr. Ibori's argument took off from a woeful footing and may sway discussions especially for the unsuspecting and scarcely logically mindful number.  His (Mr. Ibori's) postulation reminds us of the logical difference between validity and soundness. Arguments with false promises can be valid but false. An example will help the understanding of most readers especially those who may not have had the privileges of elementary logic or what logicians will refer to as ordinary language logic. An...

WOLE SOYINKA FADES INTO NOTORIETY Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
A model to expectant scholars  A signpost to young activists  A dream of professors A hope of truth in the sea of lies  Fades into notoriety  Lying barefaced and unabashed? Now abhorred by teachers? Now the negatives of courage? What no one wants to be anymore? Just fades into notoriety  This 90 years is terrible  This age has been blurred  This chapter of chatter shatters  He turns to his spittle Goodness me! Becomes the scorn of kids All about him is now of jest  Abandoned to sorry tribalism  Leaving the stage in dishonour  Murdering earned reputation Can fame turn notorious? Wole Soyinka, insignificant? Let none of mine age like him  May our age never turn curse Haba Wole Soyinka!

NEVER DISSIMILAR Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
It's too early in the morning  Please don't cry or wail  The pressure is getting to neck You can grin or make face Yes! Feel free but never cry At the land of bar beach  I lived, loved and earned  Yes! I learnt so much yonder  I know the land like my home  He was popular and worked null  Don't cry yet, let's get to dusk  I said of Papa 8 signature cap He knows no good thing of it  Leading by dragging and taking  Painting heavens with empty words I mean Bala, Blue, Bulaba  It's on you brethren whoever you think  Early in the morning tomorrow  Just as I check myself and you  Let it be true that I'm intact  The extortionists are here  They came at night I know not why  Don't cry please, I hate tears  One day soon  If nothing is done  I mean as soon as now  Our breathing will be taxed. But I told you this  Still early in the morning  Don't let me see tears  It's never diss...

IF FREEDOM DEFINES CITIZENSHIP THEN NIGERIA IS A COUNTRY WITHOUT A CITIZEN Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
Bringing ideas from the ivory towers down to the marketplace has always been an idea I support intensely. It does not matter the quality of your grammar or the polished phonetics to render your speeches with, I am always attentive to the facticity of its pragmatism. Let it be realistic and solution based. It is for the foregoing that I severally referred a question to economists here and other authorities in international trade, commerce and foreign exchange market. Like I have said many times, their theories which submit the determination of exchange rate of currencies to the strides of balance of trade are seriously wanting in logical validity owing to our commonsense experiences. And I have severally asked them this question; what if Nigerian government today makes a proclamation that henceforth, Naira shall be exchanged for #1 @ $I, what will happen? Many a time, they have remained silent and never answering anything and those who manage to make some response go directly to beg the...

CAN WE NOT EXIST? Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

I remember the myth That of Sisyphus The hues and cries Getting up all struggles  The success at the tip The snatch of the devil And the fall to floor That fight to rise again Fearsome and fierce The strength and the guts Here again to the tops What is this another time?  Here at the feet of failure This will happen forever It's a futility to live It's a futility to die It's backwardness to start Much dangerous stopping Whatever we say Life means everything and nothing Just be a stone!

NIGERIA IS STUPENDOUSLY BLESSED WITH A BARRAGE OF ILLEGALITIES EXPOUNDED BY IRREDEEMABLE ILLEGITIMACY. Written By KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
Mr. Peter Obi has just pointed out bitterly the illegal #28 Trillion "ways and means" loan of the Buhari government from the CBN and its illegal #8 Trillion securitization by the Tinubu-Shettima government. So about 26 days to the end of that administration, Buhari's government applied and got a whooping #28 Trillion loan from the mindless Emiefele led CBN. And this madness was graciously granted, endorsed and approved by the senseless and perishable legislature. And now in less than 7 months Tinubu-Shettima administration has wickedly requested to securitize such inimical loan with another insane amount of #8 Trillion. This is also was flippantly approved by the doomsday National Assembly unreasonably led by mischievous personae. This is one bad government after another and it seems we are speedily moving from frying pan to fire. Clearly, nobody is worried and partisanship is now a dogmatic exercise. It feels like being a political party members entails sheepish backing ...
