This essay explicated what is generally meant by spirituality. It says that throughout the world human beings believe that if they lay aside their ego self concepts and empty their minds of all concepts made by the ego that they would tune into a different self and its world, a self generally called spirit.  The paper delineated the nature of spirit and its world, as opposed to the material world of space, time and matter. The essay says that traditional African societies had spiritual practices that led Africans to devise their profound religions. Unfortunately, in the extant world, Africans seem…

When you are around Africans their talk is almost always filled with what the colonial masters did to wrong them; everything is always the fault of the colonel masters. Even when African leaders kill their people they blame their former colonial masters for their mayhem. It is neocolonialism this, neocolonialism that. Talk is cheap so the brothers talk away and blame away but seldom take responsibility for their actions. It is action that is difficult and counts. So far Africans are missing in action; they do not translate their talk of how Africans are angels before white men corrupted them,…

Fiat Justitia! Ruat caelum. This adage of ancient provenance is a heart-rending plea for justice to pour like the rain! It supplicated justice to deluge our world like the Noachian deluge of old did in the fertile minds of the ancient Jewish Yawhist-tradition writers; even if the pillars of heaven are to collapse in the process. And time has proven over and over again, that Truth is the grand essential for justice. Without truth, justice is eviscerated of meaning and significance. This piece is the contribution of our feeble voice to course of truth and justice. This is an inscription…

1. Empires and Lynching Empires have always lynched dissidents. They have always murdered those who could not swallow their discontent, or let empire get away with the strangulating and toxic impact of its debaucheries. They have always bludgeoned those who refused to be intimidated by imperial impunities; and buried those who challenged their monumental indiscretions. They have forever banished and brazenly barbecued their opponents out of existence, with all the medieval cruelty, and inquisitorial wickedness in their arsenals. Empire has always crucified those who offered any resistance to its impious excesses, or those who couldn't bear imperial jackboots patiently. Jesus,…

Robert Mugabe is being lynched by Britain and her allies. And BBC is drafted into soft-bombing public opinion and public discourse with sleaze against Mugabe; even to the extent of Stephen Sackur using his daily platform Hardtalk of 8th July, 2008, with Fredrick W. der Klerk, as a guest, to openly call for military invasion of Zimbabwe to oust Mugabe and install a lackey of the British on Zimbabwe's corridor of power. This is against all international principles and protocols that made it a law in international relations to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of every sovereign country. This…

(This paper is an addendum to my review of Dr. Woodson's, book, the miseducation of the Negro) Ozodi Thomas Osuji I am an existentialist thinker (if you do not know what existentialism mean begin by reading Sartre, Camus, Jasper, Heidegger etc.). Existentialists say that man is that animal creature that is self-aware. Let me personalize this discourse instead of leaving it at the wooly abstract level. I am aware that I am a part of the universe; I am able to study and understand the universe. I am the universe trying to understand itself. Alas, I am also aware that…
