MAROONED BY VISION Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI


Just got up the bed feeling lost
It's midnight, black skies and wind
I'm all thoughts and nothing 
I'm lonely in my world, obviously 
It feels no one cares, none will 

Guts drove me in here 
Dreams of changing our world 
Maybe, to impact it significantly 
Being employed? Not me anymore 
I'll create opportunities, make wealth 

This country bites, it bites harder 
Feeding feels like a luxury 
Clothes're merely to cover the back
It's tough now to venture or learn 
The earth's roofs must be crumbling 
Probably on myself alone

I've got not the wealth
Not the fame or name
Knowledge is harder to chase
This is just a midpoint dilemma
Dready to go on or get back 
Ashamed to see loved ones 
Is this failure or temptation?
Like I'm abandoned by dreams 

Been shouting, no one hears me 
Been asking but help's nowhere 
To fight on, hope sounds dead
Just vision led my way here 
But has abandoned me, likely 
Or that's what my mind thinks 

My eyes are fixed on victory 
My hope's run out of urge 
My heart beats with mixed zest
Help or not, I'll fight on
But here is yet a wonderland

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...

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...

AS THE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE OF NIGERIA BUILD THE MOST DREADED BEASTS UNDER THE SUN IN NDỊ IGBO... Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
It's clearly Nigeria against the Igbo man and woman without any exception. Recently, a certain situation took place in Uromi in Edo State of Nigeria. Edo State people killed some people allegedly from the North numbering about 16. The videos asserting the reality of the incident is everywhere on the internet and the certitude of that incident has not been denied so far. Not a single Igbo man or woman was involved in the scenario. None was seen near the occurrence. But guess what? They're already killing Igbos in the North because of the Uromi saga that has nothing to do with Ndị Igbo. What else? The government will never say anything. No Igbo politician will mention it for condemnation except maybe Sen. Enyinnia Abaribe because they're either puppets and criminals held hostage by their corrupt dealings. No Army, no Navy and no Air Force will say anything. No police or any other security portion of the government will say anything. But do you know one thing? They're forc...
