WHY IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT KILLING NIGERIANS? Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
KEMKA S. IBEJI  Why is the Federal Government bent on killing Nigerians? Why is Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Federal Ministries of Health and Science & Technology so dumb and daft that they can't think of anything else apart from being beggars on the international stage? Or is there any other thing behind this Coronavirus or Covid-19 pandemic which they are not telling Nigerians? What is really the problem? Mr. President Muhammadu Buhari with his political party the APC enjoying the deaths and sufferings of Nigerians from this Covid-19? What is actually going on? Having just watched Professor Maurice Iwu who is a professor of pharmacology with specialization in pharmacognosy on a national TV precisely TVC. Same conversation and interview is pervading YouTube and open to the world. The man (Professor Maurice Iwu) made elaborate explanation on the drugs he already has which has NAFDAC number and in the market which can cure the Covid-19. A product of tho...

MY COVID-19 EXPECTATION FOR/FROM IMO STATE. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
KEMKA S. IBEJI  Attn: HE Gov. Hope Uzodinma Prof. Maurice Iwu Imo State Covid-19 Task Force For whatever reason, Imo State has not been shown to Nigeria and the world for what the state is. It is the Eastern Heartland, yes, but indeed it is. Many may still be wondering why I say so but be pleased that I, at least, know what I am saying. Imo State is blessed with abundant human capital ranging from talented people from the academia, to industry, to craft, eloquence and wit. It is implanted in the history of Nigerian academics that at some point in Nigeria, Imo maintained over 50% of JAMB intakes and such other intellectual feats. In the business world, Imo State may have not built many top-flight names but for every successful business in Nigeria, Imo State citizens had considerable number in the areas of ideas, organization and administration. And for those who rose briefly above the bar, they built their businesses into institutions. I may leave you with the name men...

IF I AM IN GOVERNMENT TODAY... KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
KEMKA S. IBEJI  It is important to remind or state that I contested in the last general election in 2019 to represent Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Mbaise Federal Constituency in the Federal House of Representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This is important to set my definition of self and the intent of my submission within this deposit of idea. It is also pertinent to point out that this is not any political campaign. There is, of course, no election going on now but the experience across the world which is putting humanity in serious wonder. Significant in this is that the world and humanity are presently facing a huge challenge with the Covid-19 pandemic which is ravaging the globe. It is in this wise that I wish to drop my idea and especially as to what I would have done differently if I was successful in the 2019 election. Without blame against any of the people who are currently in government, I am convinced that my idea and poise would have impacted particularly o...

AS THE COLD WAR RESTARTS; WHERE IS AFRICA? Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
My views may also be counted within speculative diplomacy but its veracity and currency will have a space of honour within shelves in world libraries in the years ahead. Do we require inquest into the building and emerging world of international politics? What do we expect as the result of the current happenings in the world stage? It was Bernard Baruch, the multimillionaire financier and adviser to presidents from Woodrow Wilson to Harry S. Truman, who on April 16,1947, coined the term “Cold War”. With the coinage, he was to describe the increasingly chilly relations between two World War II Allies - the United States and the Soviet Union. This war was to rage from 1947 to a time in the 1990s when it was thought to have ended. However, it seems to have begun in earnest. In trying to give meaning to the concept "Cold War", Wikipedia defines it thus; "A cold war is a state of conflict between nations that does not involve direct military action but is pursued prim...

ON COVID-19 AND THE ARRIVAL OF THE CHINESE MEDICS: WE SHALL HOLD THIS GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBLE. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
Chinese medical team It has become very important for us to remark where we are today so as to be clear of the responsibility of this government led by President Muhammadu Buhari especially as we battle the Covid-19 pandemic which has ravaged the world. Today being the 8th day of April, 2020 is the arrival date of the Chinese Medics who arrived to help the government of President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC fight the coronavirus in Nigeria. Usually, before people start work, it is necessary for records purposes to remark and describe the job to be done by the people. This does not go without marking out where they are beginning from and where they are expected to reach. It has become more reasonable to do this as many Nigerians are already showing disapproval of the coming of the Chinese medical team to Nigeria at this time. The Nigerian masses and the domestic medical industry believe that Nigeria has capacity to handle the situation in the country. For them, all that is nee...

COVID 19 AND COCONUT (Cocus nucifera). Written by Comr. Isaac Obinyan

Image
Comr. Isaac Obinyan  I have found four plants with powerful antiviral effects and I am quite busy right now running trials, as at today we will begin with the very simplest and safest but equally very potent. We are not just interested in the coconut, we are particularly interested in the raw/fresh/ unrefined coconut oil or coconut milk(the type you use for your coconut rice). I will start by telling you some of the things most people know about coconut, things you can read up in books and search on the internet then I will tell you what I found out through my private research. A lot of people know that consuming coconut and its oil improves; liver function, digestion, heart heath,…slows aging, improves hair growth…controls blood pressure and blood sugar. I have however discovered that coconut milk/coconut oil has very strong antiviral capacity and may be useful for treatment of COVID-19 and this is why I think so; Coconut contains several fatty acids, caprilic, capri...

Coronavirus: Is The World Dying? Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

What is wrong with the earth? What has offended our world? Why is the earth is fast crumbling The world seems to be shutting down Why is humanity being humiliated? Is the world dying? Are the heavens, the firmaments The sky, fire, air, water and earth At some war of some sort? What's going on please? Is the world dying? Schools are shutting down Air, water, road movements Handshakes, hugs and pleasantries All are going mum Is the world dying?

AS CHIEF CHEKWAS OKORIE GETS OLDER... By KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
Chief Chekwas Okorie (Oje Ozi Ndị Igbo)  OJE OZI NDỊ IGBO (THE MESSENGER OF THE IGBOS) Birth is a mystery of equality in gradation. It marks a common beginning for all but loaded with discrepancies so large and most subtle. It was William Shakespeare in one of his plays that said, "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em." I wasn't there when you were born but as a thinker, our ideas usually have a way of moving from the known to the unknown. And so from where we met, I can say of your birth and your future. Upon this I can most vehemently say that you were born great, you have achieved greatness, you also have and will have greatness thrust upon you. Like a company of stars, you have remained so conspicuous in the eyes of discerning consciousness as a man stout on principles, conviction, resolution and sound choice. Your logic has remained valid and founded on truth. Your vows are law which you have earned reput...

AND FINALLY, HERE COMES THE AWAITED DAY... Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
KEMKA S. IBEJI  Let me begin by thanking God Almighty who has made it possible for me to be a witness to this remarkable day in the life of the entire Imo State and Nigeria at large. It's a day of history. Today, the Supreme Court of the Federal Republic of Nigeria will make a declaration about the government of Imo State with regards to who governs the state in this dispensation. For months now, this impasse has kept Imo State at a standstill. This has affected Imo State negatively and it is not our wish. So far, I have given all my support to Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha. This is not done out of hatred against Sen. Hope Uzodinma. My decision is, to the best of my knowledge, for the good of the entire Imo State. My idea here is that Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha is more prepared and ready to give better and qualitative leadership to Imo State. This is my personal view and conviction though I do not arrogate omniscient to myself in this judgement. In this support to Rt. Hon. Emeka ...

WHETHER LOGIC, MATHEMATICS OR THE LAW; IMO SUPREME COURT REVIEW HAS MERIT AND THE SCALE IS HERE PONTIFICATED. By KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
KEMKA S. IBEJI  If justice enjoys safety in the hands of the Justices of the Supreme Court of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I will stake my most treasured asset for this; Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha has a good case, very valid and sound argument and so the judgment will tilt to his side on Monday 2nd March, 2020. Two (2) factors grant Emeka Ihedioha's case the desired and requires merits; A. The issue of spread was overlooked and omitted in the judgment. When the Supreme Court in her judgment asserted that Sen. Hope Uzodinma having polled the highest number of votes cast and having met the statutory requirement of spread is therefore returned as the winner, it failed to consider the veracity of her premises granting the conclusion. In logic however, only true premises can give true conclusions. For every valid statement therefore, the premises and conclusion must be either true (through and through) or false all through. No valid argument has false premises and true concl...

The Supreme Court has no Difficulty Anymore. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
KEMKA S. IBEJI  It won't be difficult to remove Sen. Hope Uzodinma but it will be difficult to return Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha. No one among them has won the election. Though Rt. Hon Emeka Ihedioha would have been said to be nearer to victory than Sen. Hope Uzodinma, there is no nearness to reality. The proclamation of the law in the instance operates exclusively within two-valued Logic. So it is either true or false and no middle ground. None of the two had won yet and the Supreme Court knows this, at least now if they never knew so. The points are very clear; 1. Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha did not win according to the statutory requirement of the spread being the 25% of ⅔ of the 27 LGAs of Imo State. His announcement was a farce. It was a full case of *runoff* 2. It may have not been reasoned or imagined by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that there can be 70 candidates in an election as such even while they were creating political parties like sands. Nob...

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 ...

A 2ND FILING FOR REVIEW WILL CRUMBLE THE NIGERIAN JUDICIARY: SUPREME COURT BEWARE! By KEMKA S. IBEJI

Supreme Court of Nigeria should save herself the huge embarrassment by reversing the Imo State Governorship Election judgement to something else between a supplementary election in the 388 polling units/ a rerun in the 388 polling units and cancelled polling units/ or a full runoff between the top 2 candidates. The bigger embarrassment will come when there is filing for a review the 2nd time. Trust Gov. Emeka Ihedioha he will go it infinitely. He knows the truth and he will pure it to the end of this earth. He will bring his case to the world stage for all to see. He has the language, the knowledge, the wisdom, the courage, the zeal, the support of his people and most of all the legitimacy to push on. He will bring the judiciary to the muds and make it an object to laughter to clowns. This will crumble the judiciary and put the entire Nigeria in grave mess. Don't dare him! I bet you, Gov. Emeka Ihedioha will ask for more reviews if the Supreme Court fails to do justice in this...

IMO: THE DEN OF DESPERATE POLITICIANS. By KEMKA S. IBEJI

The losses of desperation; Uche Nwosu (Rochas Okorocha) and Sen. Godwin Ararume. Let me begin by reenacting the moral maxim that "anyone who has nothing to die for, has no reason to live". The above is all about character. It is a virtue of inestimable value. This is strongly lacking in Nigerian political class and especially as seen in Imo State in the recent experience. In the last general election of 2019, Imo State witnessed a large number of aspirants turnout. While many political analysts and commentators may wish to condemn that, I very sincerely commend it. My reason is that it shows a very growing level of political awareness, education, involvement and concern. This also implies that the number of citizenship is heightening in Imo State. One will recall that the cradle of the state system is the Greek political experience through City States and the polis. For the Greek political thinkers, to be a citizen is to be involved in the leadership of the land. It is...

APPLYING ELEMENTARY LOGIC TO THE SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT OF THE CASE OF GOV. EMEKA IHEDIOHA AND GOV. HOPE UZODINMA. ON THE SCALE OF THE LAWS OF THOUGHT: LAW OF IDENTITY AND THE LAW OF EXCLUDED MIDDLE. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
KEMKA S. IBEJI  I was attracted to this discourse by the words "using the common sense approach to common law" as used by my brother Endy Ezenwata somewhere while he adduced reason to what he thinks should happen at the Supreme Court on the review of Ihedioha and Uzodinma case. One will be right like him in arguing that the Supreme Court judgment on Uche Nwosu's matter on dual nomination has little or nothing to do with Sen. Hope Uzodinma but not totally. Such argument will be right to the extent of advising the PDP not to have that as their only point when approaching the Supreme Court for a review but I will also assure my readers that if it were a place where justice is the crux and concern, the point is mature enough to disqualify Sen. Hope Uzodinma. Of course, the PDP wouldn't have argued that at the Tribunal and Appeal courts because the judgement hasn't come by then. The Supreme Court ruled on that few days or weeks before the Ihedioha judgmen...

Exclusively How Justice Can be Served in Imo State by the Supreme Court. By KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
KEMKA S. IBEJI  Just like I honestly told all Imo State electorate that fateful night that the result of that day was a runoff, while Uche Nwosu was still in the race, and not declaration of a winner yet, I'm also saying that the Supreme Court's decision on reviewing their judgment should be a rerun in the 388 polling units as the number of registered voters in those polling units can impact on who emerges winner of that election. Any other judgement order different from the above will be a wrong and bad judgement and definitely unjust. Time ticks off, and the land awaits peace in Imo State. However, the crying being in all this experience is posterity. For this brazen aberration to form part of our national statute through judicial precedence is a nightmare and the Supreme Court is under obligation to wake us from such. Justice will grant peace and harmony in the state and ultimately guarantee security for all citizens of the state - Imo. It was an injustice decla...

WHY 18? Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
KEMKA S. IBEJI  Yes! Why 18? Why must people be 18 years before they are eligible to vote or be voted for in an election? The answer has always been that at such age, one is or will be rational enough to make informed choice. He or she should be able to weigh options available and choose appropriately. But now I ask again, WHY 18 when rationality is no longer the point but the ability to receive higher amount of money? Every child in the primary school is acquainted with the figures and can always distinguish between greater numbers. So WHY 18? WHY 18 when the judiciary is a lonesome supermarket where justice is murdered and judgements bought and sold? If after the wrongs and unlawful actions at the polls, the judiciary validates the illegal and everyone will chorus "as the court pleases". So WHY 18? WHY 18 when the Electoral Umpire goes blind on her duty and allow the rule to be "everything goes"? When they are paid not to do their legitimate jobs for ...

Morality of Leadership. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
KEMKA S. IBEJI at Orphanage Home  Men and brethren, if we as leaders look at what our people are and what they do, we will all become devils. Sometimes it pains to say that our people don't seem to deserve anything good by their actions. However, as leaders our morality should be hinged on courage and strong will. This will only stand out when faced with challenges. Just like Socrates on Philosophy of Education, extricating the people from ignorance doesn't go without the violence of the beneficiaries. The people you fight to save from destruction will be fighting to destroy you at the same time. Ignorance is a big fat disease. Be that as it may, we who have passed through the crucibles of leadership have come to wear a different but far strengthened morality. This has a lot to do with knowledge to laugh at your intended killer who does not know your impregnable immunity against his finite imagination. In the main, we should be able to defend the common will no matte...
