TWISTED NIGER AREA Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI


Chiaso earned his pay today

Sickly thin and frail pay it is

It's a round of 30 days work

His bank behind smiled

Yes! His back pocket ate

He's right on the bus homeward 


Oh poor Chaiso!

Sat beside him is Ole

Ole takes what's not his

He did what he does 

Chiaso is his latest victim 

Chiaso is now empty

Emptied by Ole as Ole 


Service pay time called

The ferryman beckoned 

It was for Chiaso to pay

He ran to his bank behind 

Chiaso touched emptiness

Bewildered, his joy vanished 

Ye man! Neighbours chorused 

He was scorned visibly 


Poor Chiaso is lost

His innocence and sin mixed 

He's apparently blue faced 

Angel Ole quickly helped 

Ole paid off Chiaso's debt

Neither pity nor for charity

Ole bought fame to bury suspicion

Ole was drenched in praises 

Prayers for more of his kind echoed 

Ole's victim joined, worshipping him


Like Ole like these folks

Folks that masses follow

They lead them very Olely 

Oles of Niger Area

Let's keep clapping for Ole 

Like a dream but we're awake

Let's pray to wake up one day

Wake into being real claimants 

Claimants of our rights

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...

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...

PREMISES AND CONCLUSION TOWARDS IMO SUPREME COURT REVIEW: MNEMONICS FROM BAYELSA SUPREME COURT REVIEW. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
KEMKA S. IBEJI  For those who think the Imo Supreme Court is done and dusted upon the debacle of the APC outing today should read the lines below. The following snippets from the trashing of the APC/Lyon's call for review today is worthy of consideration ; ...the applicants failed to point out errors, stating that the judgment is final for all ages. #JSC ...vexatious, frivolous, and constituted a gross abuse of court process. #JSC ...granting the applications would open a floodgate for the review of decisions of the Supreme Court. #JSC ...the applications amount to an invitation for the apex court to sit in appeal on its earlier judgment in violation of the Constitution. #PDP Counsel The common take home from the proclamation of the Supreme Court today are; 1. Approaching the Supreme Court for review of her judgment is not unlawful and unconstitutional 2. There are conditions under which the Supreme Court can be prayed for a reconsideration of her own judgment ...
