THE CRIME OF SELF-PRESERVATION Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI


Koi! Koi!! Koi!!!

Hello justice in Nigeria 

I am Sunday Jackson

As I farm to provide for my family 

This herder assailed me

He destroys our farms, kills us

He desired to kill me with knife

I had no weapon and nothing 

Seeing death, I tried to preserve life 

He ceased my freedom to escape 

He died trying to take my life 

He died of his own weapon 

I merely defended myself 

My assailant died, he is dead


Dear Sunday Jackson 

You should have let him go

Or you run away and die next time 

Or let him kill you like your kins 

You shall be hanged till you die

This is justice in our land

Our land is Nigeria 


Kpom! Kpom!! Kpom!!!

Justices of Supreme Court 

May my life be spared

I'm not a murderer 

It was in the course of self defense 

I've never killed, I'd never kill 

He won't let me escape 

He died that I refused suicide

He died trying to kill me


Dear Sunday Jackson 

Death is fundamental right 

Self preservation is a crime

Till heavens fall, this is just 

You shall be hanged till you die

This is justice in Nigeria 


Oh justice!

Where have you gone to?

Our judges have gone mad

Your lordships lord for death

It's wrong to be right, right to be wrong 

Your temple is desecrated 

Return now to cleanse our land

Let our land know peace again


This poem is a protest against the Nigerian judiciary's act of injustice against Sunday Jackson who is a Christian farmer in Adamawa State of Nigeria. While farming in his farm, Sunday was attacked by the killer herder who tried to kill him. In a fierce fight to preserve his life, Sunday Jackson overpowered his villain and was able to kill him by herder's own weapon 🔪. But the Nigerian judiciary has sentenced Sunday Jackson to die by hanging for self preservation.

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...

PROF. SOLUDO AND THE ANAMBRA NATIVE DOCTORS' ISSUES OF THE MOMENT. Written By KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
The idea or information is that the Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo is requesting the licencing of Native Doctors in the state. I assume that this is essentially an approach to the fight against violent crimes and insecurity in the state. This ordinarily should be a commendable action by the government except that a bad route may disfigure a destination. Though in recent times, societal experiences have taught me and many others the truism of a local colloquial adage in our younger age which states that "passing six is not passing sense". Again, such experiences have also made me to understand that leadership has nothing to do with academic degrees though the basic education is necessary for modern political leadership. When Professor Soludo was elected as the governor of Anambra State, like many others, I thought that God Almighty had answered the prayers of Ndi Anambra. But through the experience of this government led by Prof. Soludo, we are learning not t...
