Goodbye, Dr. Obadiah Mailafia – by Farooq Kperogi

Image
Dr Obadiah Mailafia The death of Dr. Obadiah Mailafia on September 19 touched me more deeply than I thought it would. He was an exceptionally smart, conciliatory, and gracious man who, in spite of appearances to the contrary, had no space for hate and grudges in his heart. He and I publicly clashed on at least two occasions. On both occasions, it was he, a much older person, who privately initiated reconciliation with me. Our first clash happened in 2016 at an online forum called the USAAfrica Dialogue Series where he expressed what I thought were unfair, conspiratorial, facts-free, anti-Muslim opinions. I challenged him with counter facts. Dr Farouk Kperogi Instead of responding to me on the forum, he reached out privately and admitted that said his thought-processes were probably distorted by the personal tragedies he had suffered in the hands of mass murderers who were Muslims. He shared photos of his relatives who had been murdered but assured me that he had...

Image
(The death of the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital Gwagwalada, Abuja,  this morning came to us as a great shock. As someone who relentlessly participated in the activities of the Middle Belt Forum (MBF), his untimely death has dealt  a deadly blow on ethnic nationalities of not only the Middle Belt but the country at large. Arising from various enquiries from Nigerians over the circumstances of his death, the Forum wishes to state as follows: That Dr Mailafia arrived Abuja last Sunday September 12, 2021 from Akure and was received at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport by his wife. On arrival at home, the wife noticed he was not in the best of health conditions and seemed to be suffering from malaria. After three days of treatment without signs of improvement, he went to the CBN Hospital on Friday September 17, 2021 where he was shabily treated. It took the intervention of a senior medic w...

  ROTOCOLS. 1. We, the Indigenous Peoples of Nigeria gather today at the Headquarters of the United Nations in New York to alert the UN, and the rest of the Global Community that the Union of Nigeria has failed irredeemably; and is now at the verge of a Violent Disintegration with Catastrophic Consequences for Global Peace, and Security as our population of over 200 million would become an Instant Global Refugee Nightmare.  2. Amidst the extraordinary difficulties inflicted by the imposition and enforcement of Sharia by a section of Nigeria in a supposedly Secular Union, the immediate reason for this looming catastrophe is the Cocktail of Mass Killing, Kidnapping and General Banditry being orchestrated against the Indigenous Peoples of Nigeria by an invading Fulani Militia masquerading as Herdsmen in an undisguised Ethnic Cleansing Campaign that progressively demonstrate the Complicity of the Federal Government of Nigeria headed by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, a Fulani man,...

The Basic ideas in Philosophy of mind (By: Dabo Euclid Ammel)

Image
Introduction. The subject matter of philosophy of mind is the mind-body problem other issues are addressed, such as the hard problem of consciousness, and the nature of particular mental states.: the problem of reconciling man’s understandings of the causal structure of the physically described world, including our bodies and brains, with the apparent capacity of our conscious thoughts and efforts to cause our bodies to move in consciously intended ways. Due to a faulty understanding and application of a relevant part of contemporary science, philosophers of mind have encountered many difficulties in analyzing man, and this many call the quantum mechanics. Philosophy of mind is a vast field, so to make my task manageable I shall limit my remarks to the opinions and arguments presented in two recent books, John Searle’s Freedom and Neurobiology: Reflections on Free Will, Language, and Political Power, and Physicalism, or Something near Enough. This naturally created causal link e...

BY:  COMR. DABO EUCLID AMMEL Introduction It is important to distinguiged between a person that is a homosexual and a gay base on the distinctions been provided by some professionals. A Homosexual is anyone who enjoys sexual attraction to persons of thesame sex. “only few NIGERIA CHALLENGED ON TECHNOLOGICAL ENHANCEMENT are gays as claimed by this psychologist because, A man who recognizes that he has a homosexual problem and struggles to overcome is simply a homosexual and not gay”. Gay or lesbianism is a self identity chosen by some homosexuals. “the gay-identified person, identifies with the idear that homosexuality is as normal as heterosexuality”.  Gays/lesbians are therefore homosexuals who morally approve same sex sexuality or sexual activity and regard such acts as normal and desirable. There is both legal and cultural rejection of homosexuality. This many had associated with the acts of nurturing it and the meaning of nature in human life. Gay science an...

THE PROJECT METHOD OF TEACHING (BY: DABO EUCLID AMMEL)

Image
    The project method is a medium of instruction which was introduced during the 18th century into the schools of architecture and engineering in Europe when graduating students had to apply the skills and knowledge they had learned in the course of their studies to problems they had to solve as practicing of their trade, for example, designing a monument, building a steam engine etc. This method was been derived from John Deweys ideas on education which emphasizes that education should not just be an attempts of preparing the child for a future that is unknown, but rather, it should be able to fit the child into the society that he or she is living in. In the early 20th Century, William Heard Kilpatrick expanded the project method into a philosophy of education. His device is child-centered and based in progressive education. Both approaches are used by teachers worldwide to this day. Unlike traditional education, proponents of the project method attempt to allow th...
