KEMKA S. IBEJI  A greater percentage of the Nigerian electorate are not qualified to vote in an election. They're not different from infants and lunatics who can't make informed decisions. They're either swayed by monetary inducement, tribal and religious sentiments or bandwagons informed by fear of supporting someone that'll fail. Instead of making choices on solid and enlightened resolutions.  The history of democracy and indirect or representative democracy especially is replete with stringent measures considered in putting forward those who will choose their representatives. At a time in its evolution, women weren't allowed to vote and weren't even regarded as citizens. That was at its very crude stage. Subsequently and an advanced democracy restricted infants and lunatics from participating in an election. Of course, the most important aspect of an election is the voting which defined someone as a member of the community. Those who can't vote weren'...

Subsidy removal is not a blessing to Nigerians. It is an expression of weakness, incompetence and ignorance of the skills to govern Nigeria and protect Nigerians from criminals and outlaws by the government. Those who celebrate the subsidy removal are largely people who are not enlightened and those who don't know that subsidy was actually a means of sharing the blessings of God with the people and citizens of Nigeria whom God blessed with the crude oil.  Our society is unfortunately led and guided by those who don't love us. Our education and public space are manned and occupied by people who lack both character and learning. It's ridiculous to wake up each day ready folks celebrating the subsidy removal as a good thing. I think we all should be crying for that instead.  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has caused so much pains and cruelty to the citizens of Nigeria in such a manner that even the devil, Muhammadu Buhari, is being appreciated. Such an incredibly dull and unintel...

It's clear enough to uphold the cliché that ideas rule the world.  It was in the famous opening line of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, where he states: "Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim." The Nigerian colloquial will say "who no like better thing?"  Knowledge is not only attractive, it's infectious. Peter Obi exemplifies pure quality existence built with originality, prudence, moderation, courage, focus, discernment, pragmatic and communicating. His life is a communication.  Mr. Peter Obi has lived his life as a trader and the work of a trader is exchange. Every trader is in the business of exchanging something for something every day of his or her life and that's what they do. And for you to be successful in the business of trading you must have one important and ineluctable skill - communicat...

I can, very comfortably, tell you that Dr. Goodluck Jonathan lacks integrity and is not a man of honour. I have said this several times in the past 8 years and I repeated it many times in the 2023 election season. Most people were angry with me and some others felt insulted and abused. But one thing that makes a logician different from the rest of mankind is that they make assertions based on convictions and not sentiments. The convictions are usually adjudged reasonable and valid before they hold on to it and that makes them unrepentant on their opinions and views.  GEJ made a declarative statement which bore the entirety of his substance and destiny as a human being and I took it up and analysed it. He said that all he had achieved in his life came to him effortlessly and he never gets whatever he struggled for. I saw him struggling for the 2015 Presidential Election and I told people around me that if what he said is true then he will fail in the election and he did. That logica...

Chapter 1: The Satanic Sermon of Subsidies Removal and the Exorcism Underway. There's no dearth of accolades as each day we keep reading and hearing the praise singers of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC loudly saying that nobody else has the guts to remove the subsidy if not Bola Ahmed Tinubu.  In fact, some of their campaign allusions these days is that if Tinubu is defeated and ousted as the president of Nigeria in the 2027 Presidential Election, the next president of Nigeria will return subsidy. The subsidies being talked about here are; 1. Subsidy for Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly known as fuel or petrol.  2. Subsidy for Foreign Exchange otherwise known as FOREX.  To put our discussion in the right perspective, it will be fine to clearly explain what subsidy means. So the first question, therefore, is; what is subsidy?  Economically, subsidy is a financial benefit provided by a government or organization to individuals, businesses, or institutions. Designed...

BACKGROUND This intellectual foray is informed by empathy on our people and it's essentially founded on the philosophical concept of altruism. It's painful to see our compatriots being fed with bitter lies, unreasonable lines and illogical submissions served by a mindset to deform the mind of the citizenry, misinform the hoipoloi and mistreat the populace upon all that.  It follows the African wise saying that abominates the parturition of a leashed goat under the watch of the elderly. It therefore behoves on me, especially as a homegrown thinker, to support our people by creating an intellectually clement climate that allows our people to walk into the safety of their minds, willynilly.  Being Philosopher and the gadfly, and having been elevated by the philosophy of artificial intelligence, I shall therefore craft a critical thinking theatre equipped with logical inference machines that will enable our people, who are pushed into "knowledge labour", to walk in and ex...

It's important we keep some of these documents for the future. This senator boy just re-echoed what people like Charles Chukwuma Soludo, Emeka Ihedioha and the rest of them have been telling the rest of the Southeast. They know it's not true but they prefer their convenience. They are selling their land with their own people as gratis. Those supporting Atiku Abubakar in the Southeast are saying he will hand over to the Southeast after his term in office. Funny as annoying!  When it was the turn of the North in 2019, the entire Southeast filed behind Atiku Abubakar and Mr. Peter Obi joined him and gave huge voice and value to his ticket.  This is after the PDP messed the entire Igbo race up by using and dumping Dr. Alex Ekwueme for Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo who just got out of prison. So the Igbos left the front seat to the back bench and were asked to wait for their turn.  After 8 years of Obasanjo power automatically went to the North with the late Umar Musa Yar'adua. And w...
