Indices of Corruption! By KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
Please fellow compatriots and especially the professionals in the house, can any organized institution run without a budget? Is it right for any institution to make expenses or appropriations beyond and outside the budget of such such institution? How do we explain expenditure beyond the budget of an organisation, institution or government in a fiscal year? Now why do I ask these questions above and why it is important that I get your answers to them? The Federal Government of Nigeria keeps making annual budgets which are turned into law by the processes of the legislature. These budgets have their sources of funding with benchmarks especially from the Crude Oil which is, as we are made to believe, the major source of funds for the country. Most of the time, these benchmarks are overshot and we have excesses. Whenever there is downward shift in the price of the Crude Oil, the budget will be rebased. Yes! But in recent times as in many years of our experience, we have not h...

WE CANNOT BE BARBARIC AND BEASTS LIKE THE WHITES! By KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
KEMKA S. IBEJI  You know I have grown with the pains of the experiences of our fathers, mothers, forefathers and maybe those who can be called now, our ancestors. These pains mostly were so irrational to be suffered by any human from any of his or her kind except from beasts, barbarians and cannibals. Most of the pictures of these times are gory and most of all very stupid. Dehumanising as they are to the sufferers, it is much more to their oppressors. Whenever I glance through some of those pictures, the scorn they raise in me develops so high and mighty that it quickly stifles jestful inclinations. It most hurriedly gets me mad and sore angered. Yes! They inflict beyond foolishness every iota of hate and anything worse. I may tear up my Bibles one day and perhaps encourage the Muslim folks to do same the Quran! Who are these idiots who came into our lands, destroyed our places of worth, values and worship stand therein all manner of mundane and immoral matter?...

Inside Aso Rock: The Day Abacha Died. By Orji Ogbonnaya Orji

Part 1 Friday June 5, 1998, was a cool bright day. Before we left the Villa, the Press Corps was informed that the leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation, Yasser Arafat, would be making a brief stop-over at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, enroute Morocco. And he was expected to hold a brief discussion with the General Sani Abacha. We were therefore expected to be at the airport to cover the event on Sunday, June 7. It was a topical assignment in view of Nigeria's neutral position in the Middle East conflict. Besides, the rest of us were keen to meet Mr. Arafat, the man at the centre of the storm. That Sunday morning, the Press Corps headed for the airport to await the arrival of Yasser Arafat. We did not have to wait for too long before the Palestinian leader arrived, accompanied by a very modest delegation. President Arafat and General Abacha immediately went into private discussion at the VIP lounge of the Presidential wing of the airport. The Pre...

MEMORY IS AN ENIGMA! Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Your power is amazing How you deal is still a mystery Your strength is a wonder How silent and so charming You refresh the past Bring it to life You wake the dead Bringing it to near life You win distances Doing that without a sound You've not been at the fronts Doing it though at ease Yeah! Even pains and angst Unforgiveness; you help Yes! When you play wrong Unending experiences You're good and ungood Respecting love and hate You carry joy and pains Relish and repugnant Time is nothing When you come to work Tilling all grounds into fertility Weary worthy and hungered In classrooms, you're prayed At wrongs, you're unwanted In merriment, you're a bride At all times, you've two sides For your sake, we hope Without you, we despair Furthermore, we shall keep you Wittingly, for good or bad By KEMKA S. IBEJI When thinking about memory; how it works and performs for both good and bad. 

CRUSHING ON TWO. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Possess me oh spirit of wisdom Take over the streams of my blood Make thyself my garments and my cover Overshadow the thoughts in me Be turned into all the words of my mouth And be situate on my tongue Interpret the sights into my being And empress in my heart the real See through my eyes and listen from my ears Abide in me that I have no other time without thee That I may build a nation of peace In the times of woes & wars A house for the uncommon wonders to ponder upon That I may rise even among Kings of reckoning unblemished Turn my heart into your tool to brew without end Order my feet and Guide my steps along the roads Even in the wilderness of knowledge Be the grass around me Nourish my being and beingness Let me be that oasis of you Within the strongest deserts Above all, Grant me thy power of language That I may tell clear Even to the understanding of the fool The awe of innocence And the charm of most difficult foolhardiness. Bear me acr...

30TH OCTOBER! Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Stars are known by their acts and spectra Greatness is surely of birth and being The heavens are full of showers in armies Just as the earth bows in utter veneration Let the sky be lifted and its charms glow And the earth blaze in sweet fires To melt heart together Get the fabrics and horizons Even of life trembling Shake the foundations of human stay Even let them be in awe It is all about the reality One that burdens even the wisest Remarkable as this day in your life More remarkable it becomes Today I ought to make a vow Such which follows life along pathways Spending life in two and above one in singleness Alas! It's not our fate Your birth gladdens my heart It granted that noble help I celebrate you nilly willy I celebrate this day as particular The blessing you have been is lifted Founded further with light and life NMA-DI-OGO!!! 'Twas with an immeasurable LOVE I wish you a wondrous living memorial That we gather in tens of years to come...

OUR ENEMIES ARE HERE AGAIN! By KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
KEMKA S. IBEJI  Our enemies came then Yes, they're here again! Our masters in our land You know them maybe I think  They came with valour Matching down sacred places They placed their God(s) therein Matched us to pray by force. Yes! They came with pretence Of friends who traded goods They talked sweet with wares Oh! That wasn't their goal. They brought us down But we received them with love They gave us nothing but took all Believing such as exchange? They either killed to come in Or they cheated to stay They're our enemies from then  All around again they're coming Their colours don't matter What they do identify them Don't take their gifts anymore What else'll you learn? We're their betters Only a fool begs his inferior When it's not for forgiveness Or did we offend anyone Our enemies are here again Lurking with gifts at hands Luring to gift away our goods Our goods a...

NIGERIA: TELL ME WHO I AM Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

KEMKA S. IBEJI  1967 to 1970 is a farce The barrels are blaring Victims are dying daily My worry is the fight Fought from only a side Fight against an unarmed Undeclared fight We're not one people Our history says this Our belief agrees to it Our goals diverge so much We never had a trust And it will never be War fought for unity as said Won as said by all and none But there are spoils in hands What are spoils if there's no victory? But that war continued Yes! It never ended This war has continued We hear no sounds but victims litter The missiles must be dumb Why fight one you claim to love? What kind of love is this? Love won at the battle field I love you by force Love of a predator! Alas! It rages A party is unaware there's war This party is the victim Won in the open battle Now dying from the mute war The war declared over to him Don't wars abide by morality? Why's the victim caugh...

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...

Get down your warheads End your search to kill Stop your evil ideals Save humanity from this We all live in fears Our feet and beds tremble Diseases take great rise Humans are losing worth Your wisdom is stupid Your being is a curse Humanity is imperiled Why learn how to kill?
