The Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Owerri, in 1989, where I studied Finance and Banking but consider myself someone who can write and a master of the encyclopaedia in my dreams was the turning point and I was invted to join The Campus Union of Journalists when The Students’ Union Secretary of Information did not agree to put my first-ever article on The Students’ Union Notice Board . The inconsistency in services for students, electricity and water, gangs on campus, and a series of injustices was the reason why I had decided to write an article to be read by all the students. I did not consider it necessary to join The Campus Union of Journalists but that was the Union I became a member of since I had been cst out by the Students’ Union. <br /><br />Writing. Tens of thoudands of pages and still accumulating manuscripts- I felt I have to add this, setting the records straight. I have had a working-tour of 25 countries in 13 years and have come to the conclusion that there was never anything ‘modern’ in the world so far, which makes ‘post-modernism’ the fray of con-artists posing as academics in universities, magazines, publishing companies, bands, countrysides, countries, in the global village, cyberspace etc.<br /><br />If I have to propose the idolatric enshrinement of institutionalization in our constitution in my work titled ‘Full-Employment and The Invention of Peace, Equal Rights and Justice’ – then we are everything but modern in Africa and elsewhere. The Proof: That the impossibility of full-employment is a myth since a high demand creates a high supply just like excess bread in Lagos, excess DVDs in Hong Kong or excess Coca in Bolivia and Afghanistan. So, people want jobs and it is the duty of the government running ‘this’ country to provide the jobs just as the Marshall Plan sponsored by the US helped Europe recover from the devastating War*: authority must go hand-in-hand with responsibility. If you can throw her in jail, you should also be ready to give her a job when she comes out or give it to her so – whatever she needs – so we eradicate crime and juvenile delinquency<br /><br />*It wasn’t a Second World War Hitler’s Nazis, Fascists or National Socialists wanted to take over Europe, simple, however, if it is, then the ones in Colombia, Viet Nam, Korea, ex-Yugoslavia, Congo, Darfur and now, Iraq and Afghanistan are World Wars too.<br /><br /><br /><br />I later sought to ‘canonize’ the rights and duties of the citizens of our global village in a trilogy: <br />The Supa Dupa Human: <br />1. ‘The Democratic Machine’ <br />2. ‘The Anarchist Machine’ <br />and <br />3. The Creation of Paradise’ <br />where I proved the importance of administering our world and monitoring people with GPRS(?) which are obligatory, to be in everyone’s system till death. This will put away all doubts about rebels, thieves, people or governments who aren’t doing what they should be doing (to rest); no one can accuse you of what you did not do – goodbye to alibis and we will know who carry out massacres if there wil ever be ‘two’ in The Phillipines or the same old ‘one’ Nigeria, EU, UK again. People who kill wolves with a GPRS(?) and hang the heads in their homes get caught easily, and so it will be for those who commit atrocities against humanity.<br /><br />Just as modern as a Madison Garden Party compared to the primitive Boston Tea Party, that is my impession of the world when we use ‘The Democratic Machine’ I invented. The constitution of the world including the rights, duties, benefits, all expenses-paid ‘trips’, right to education and duty to work upon graduation if the citizen is fit, will propel the world to a modern and matured anarchy where people know their rights and are protected by it, not by some quasi-humanitarian aid organization indistinguishable from the mafia, senator or president like we have in Haiti today. It’s time to spend the reserves for the people after the earthquake; it’s time for Gaddafi to get modern and stop talking- what is your right as leader of the revolution, what if I want to become the leader of the revolution too? It’s time for Mandela, Mbeki and Zuma to remember that Nigeria was the first country to create an official agency for the abolition of Apartheid and Africans are being oppressed, tortured and killed in South Africa while the supporters of Apartheid stil have the quasi-priviledge. Their oppressors seem to be more ‘modern’ in supporting Apartheid than Nigeria which is now being portrayed as a developing country, to some extent, until the grip of the elite, police, military, religious societies, and anti-African grapevine in Africa and worldwide.<br /><br />The concept of the least-developed country, developing country and developed country ‘assumed’ by the UN in it’s job descriptions and field reports is a preposterous miscarriage of the truth which we are ‘used to’ now in Fiji vs. Australia, Honduras vs. The World (when we can’t say “To hell Coup d’etat’ers, g oto tatters’; the US vs. Al Qaeda in the holy war, which the US is fighting in against the world but peple don’t get it – protecting your country from terrorists does not actually ‘equalize’ with having your soldiers in mine – why not lt your soldiers do what they should do? Protecting your country {and the funniest is North Korea, whose officials you do not address by saying or using the word, ‘North Korea’, you have to say, ‘Your Country’. OK. My country, his country, her country, ourcountry, I shit in your country is a perfect expression in A Beginners’ English Lesson without Literature, but in modern times, it carries all the weight of ‘World History To Date’ including your county, mounty, bounty, hounty hounty, canton, manton, wanton, baston, canton or Dalton with a firm believe in The Big Bang and Malthus, Keynes and Tobin Tax for A New Resource Allocation For World Modernization per se… ha ha, I’m out of here My country want to do business with your country and I have decided to invite 4 other countries to the meeting…}; Yar’Adua vs. Niger Delta Rebels or erupting Religious fanatics; North Korea versus its people; Racism, Fascism, Poverty, Unemployment, Injustice, Fraud, Ignorance, Effontery, Empty Pride, Visa-Free vs. Visa-Less Passports, Reparations for Everyone as it was paid to The Jews - starting in Congo, Russia, Viet Nam, US, Brazil, South Africa or Belgium etc.<br /><br />Someone from the dream schol of thought may ‘wish’ to ‘tell’ ‘you’ that these visa-free people travel by right and with cash, so do visa-less people, the differenes are not in th constitution of their respective countries and the bi-lateral agreements signed by these countries and more but the gegraphical area the ‘traveller’ or ‘victim’ is coming from: remeber, anyone can get a bullet in the back of the head in ‘their’ country and ‘most especially’ in visa-free country. Read ‘Ya Basta’ by Commander Marcos or listen to Commandress Schizophrenia Simplex when she surrouned the prick of Societal Hardex. <br /><br />A world where people die of hunger in the so-called developing and the developed countries /Switzerland or Swaziland/ (countries are a farce, that’s another topic) and where both the good and/or the bad country does not seem to have the ethics of conflict resolution common in, for example, Yoruba history, The Aroko, a sign sent by one king to another friendly or ‘enemitic’ king in order to understand the ways to continue the wild monarchical party or at which war-front Obama must meet Osama and let’s call the duel one shot or one strike: as Jon Stewart of ‘The Today Show’ invited Osama to the basketball court near his house, another “Showdown in Little Tokyo” or an “Hell Raiser” in this galaxy, being the biggest and known from the smallest area used to such conflicts – bketballers carrying guns – but (Jon Stewart) immediately inviting the CIA (a joke) to come and grab Osama on the next day. I think the CIA should grab Obama! Why? He’s serving ‘their’ interestS. He won’t end-up like JFK. I’ll ask how long it takes Osama to record a 5-minute tape and send it by a cosmopolitan camel to Al-Jazeera. Answer: Minutes… but 3 weeks is a Sham and Shame and I give all the glory to Wham! Why? If there as no break-up no one will forget the name of George Michael’s group ‘guy, as I do now and conspiracy theories will miss a valuable song like ‘Careless Whispers’… what 20/20 Fission cannot do to you or the case at hand… conspiracy aganst the people… why bomb a white plane when you can bomb a white house… attack on fascism takes time, destroying it in ‘propaganda’ in ask Stalin.<br /><br />On the other side, the list is endless, from the eternal illusion based on a providence which did not construct any hut or house/palace in the world to protect people from the vagaries of natural phenomena and disaters like rain or snow. The weather and the situation will usher in borderline psychopathy, angels in the skies of hallucinogenic drugs-infested brains preying on schizophrenic ideas coming out of the mouths which do not notice the approaching Spine Flu in The Illegal Security Council of The United Nations and The United Nations, The International Court of Justice, The African Union, The European Union, Asia-Pacific Union, Organization of American States, The Non-Aligned Movement, NATO, G20, NGOs, The World Economic Forum, The World Social Forum, Monarchists, Remnants of Kings-Queens-Chiefs-Lords-Knights- Lodges-Free Masons, Anarchists, Fascists, Conservatives, Puritans, Ideaists, Republicans, Democrats, Fundamentalists, Envionm-entalists, Laughing Associations, Peper Soup Joint Talks, Social Activist My Ass, Revolutionaries of Big-Small-Original & Fake Sizes, Drug Sugglers and Money Launderers, They, We, You, Me, cannot come to terms with the simple metamorphosis of a primitive world based on A Simple Case of Paradise Misconstrued into A Modern State. <br /><br />Probably the best world I see that qualifies our observation of ‘the necessity for modernity’ is The Global Village. That’s where we are and the town, city, metropolis, cosmopolis, modern, more-modern, most-modern, ex-modern, ex-libris, modern libero-connundri that can only be understood in their relation to the principle of propensity to promote the dissolution or solve the problem of the common-man as Wihelm Reich wrote in ‘Listen, Small Man’. <br />Before, a modern psychiatrist and psychanalyst will write a book with that title, then we are missing something in civilization. A civilization which bails out banks and leave oppressed regimes<br /><br />BACK TO THE BASICS: The Birth of This Work<br />1. I was on facebook.com and had just added a friend. We were chatting and I proposed an article on the myth of Utopia, Dystopia and Myopia in Post-Modernismetc for African Spirits International.<br />2. What ‘gave birth’ to this topic is the continual ‘fucking’ of the truth and the, albeit, humanistic conscience of the people by the governments, the African Union and the academia in Africa: they believe that Africa had become modern and was undergoing a post-modern phase. This is a delusion of the utmost effontery to the memries of all Africans who fought for ‘modernization’ and ‘freedom’ from ‘colonial mentality’. Gwari, Ijebu-Ode and Nekede are living examples of our conection to antiquity, moreso Ayangba where electricity was lit in the 21st century.<br />3. There are communities without electricity, water, schools, universities, hospitals-dispensaries-public health centres, not to talk of a universal health insurance schemes, unemployment benefits, rural and urban housing plans, legal aid, social asistance, unemplyment assistance, traffic rescue systems, temporary housing (not short time, 1 hour in hotel rooms for sexual gratification but a YMCA kind of place, free food kitchens or sustainable human, animal or environmental development plan with logic in its title or objective- to put all the world’s problems in one basket and carry it to the global village through the cyberspace but there are terrorists on the way in Algeria, Morocco, Western Sahara, Egypt, Tunisia, Equatorial Guinea, Central Africa Republic, Angola, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Mauritius, Mauritania, Comoros Islands, Seychelles, Sudan-Darfur etc and you are so modern in the past. <br /><br />Oh! African Union members, that in your post-modernity, you fly in an airplane to Saudi Arabia for medical tests; that no one understands what ‘Wole Soyinka or Nelson Mandela said, our heroes? My hero will have to support one man, one woman, one house, one job, one alma mater, one health insurance, one trip around the global village with a visa-free passport as the fake United Nations proposed in a resolution signed by all countries in 1964: That people basically have the right to live and work anywhere in the global village. T’hell the Green Card Lottery!!! *When a resolution passes, it means all countries signed it but n a sick UN soe countries will tell you that they are not signatories to this or that.<br /><br />Oh really?<br />I can work on earth! Thank you, Moron Morozhoronhoroz!<br />I’m neither planning to work on Mars nor in Shock, Şokolokobangoşe!<br /><br />Michel Foucault said many things, and that language was designed by the who spoke it in order to prevent them from being oppressed and that it was designed to help them oppress other people. That’s a valid quality of language. <br /><br />“I should have known that” by Ken Saro-Wiwa’s character in Mr. B is a good qualifcation for what I feel now, my mood. <br />She told me too: My heart.<br />We also sing and love with songs and language will propel us to modernity. <br />We are still in the middle-age.<br /><br />When we become modern animals,<br />I’ll let you know.<br />People love travelling around the world<br />We all know our limits.<br />People are not civilized enough to forget what your fathers did: <br />Take war hostages and call them slaves in The United States.<br />The Apaches are coming to get you: See Palestine, New Mexico.<br />I want my land back!<br /><br />Where you gonna go!<br />Where you gonna go!<br />To Post-Modernity, of course!<br /><br />When we become modern animals, no one will write an article like mine- this one, because it will be as clear to you as it is now, that you will never get a fair trial in Johannesburg or Lumumbashi as long as Burantashi was socialized in a primitive society where wealth, gold, a beautiful house, a nice, fast car, playing professional football, acting in a serial comedy, owning a shop or kiosk, being a doctor, lawyer, engineer or politician and lately an Okada rider for publc transportation purposes or bus conductorship means an higher salary… we are in The Transition Period TO Modernity that is why these professions or opportunities count… but where does it say that being Mrs. Windsor or Mr. Abdullah is not enough and being replaced with the High title of Queen and King means wisdom or modernity because of the tie you are living in which is a simple ‘middle-age’. <br />3. Getting High, Getting There and The Impact of Amsterdam, The Netherlands on The Achievement of Modernism: Lessons For Africa.<br />A change in landscape does not signify the birth of modernity and certainly not because someone said it and others confirm that they heard it by supporting or arguing with him about the efficacy of a world with a Queen in Buckingham and a Parliament in Whitehall.<br /><br />Memories of Cromwell, Baudelaire, Kuti, Geronimo, Abu Jamal, Mesrin, Soyinka, Keregbetu, Zapata, Chikaloon, Patagonia, Bahia, Bahasa, Ridjamiriril, Celtics, Saami, etc linger on to show that if the confused United Nations= all countries think we still have to talk about the supremacy of indigenous people, then what’s modern that’s modern in that mode…<br /><br />Since Africa, have failed along with the world to institute a modern community, we shall take a look at some ideas ‘just’ like perfection around the world.<br />Maybe, this is premature, considering the progression of this work but some countries have an elite who support the utopian myth while others embrace the dystopic myth. Malcolm X, Frantz Fanon, Tosh, Marley, Toussaint and Fela Anikulapo-Kuti have spoken for the eventual ‘christening’ of modernity but that call has yet to be heard, respected or adhered to.<br /><br />The Human Freedom Index, The Press Freedom Index, The Wikipedia, Your Country’s Constitution, Art, Science, Dialectic, Intuition etc versus The Free World Review, a literary review, an analysis of our freedom and bondage in fiction and reality which I founded in Geneva, Switzerland and still edit.<br /><br /><br />Wikipedia must be out of its mind when it defines <postmodernism> like this:<br /><br />Postmodernism literally means 'after the modernist movement'. While "modern" itself refers to something "related to the present", the movement of modernism and the following reaction of postmodernism are defined by a set of perspectives. It is used in critical theory to refer to a point of departure for works of literature, drama, architecture, cinema, journalism and design, as well as in marketing and business and in the interpretation of history, law, culture and religion in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.<br />Postmodernism is an aesthetic, literary, political or social philosophy, which was the basis of the attempt to describe a condition, or a state of being, or something concerned with changes to institutions and conditions (as in Giddens, 1990) as postmodernity. In other words, postmodernism is the "cultural and intellectual phenomenon", especially since the 1920s' new movements in the arts, while postmodernity focuses on social and political outworkings and innovations globally, especially since the 1960s in the West.<br />The Compact Oxford English Dictionary refers to postmodernism as "a style and concept in the arts characterized by distrust of theories and ideologies and by the drawing of attention to conventions."[1]<br />The term postmodern is described by Merriam-Webster as meaning either "of, relating to, or being an era after a modern one" or "of, relating to, or being any of various movements in reaction to modernism that are typically characterized by a return to traditional materials and forms (as in architecture) or by ironic self-reference and absurdity (as in literature)", or finally "of, relating to, or being a theory that involves a radical reappraisal of modern assumptions about culture, identity, history, or language".<br /> <br /> - Culled from www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/postmodernism<br /><br /><br />Postmodernism is even more preposterous than ‘modern’ in the mouth and books of the advocates of modernism. According to ‘wiki’ both have a literal definition, so we can argue forever about their existence or non-existence in reality and in fables.<br /><br />With Apartheid in South Africa and The North Africans holding their Maghreb Congress while the South, East and West African countries having their own blocs; human rights are still a long shot; freedom of expression still means the fear of the bullet; Murtala, Sankara or Awojobi could only have been killd by maniacs and their states are more engrossed in drug-induced manic depression when soldiers smoke weed and burn Fela’s house where he fought for the right to keep it too; where the kings and queens hold the fray over their local governments and magistrates; where governors rule like feudal lords; where travelling at night is suicidal; where university students cannot hold a meeting; where the state bought the union of journalists; where lynching is still fresh in everybody’s mind…<br /><br /><br />Where our Nobel laureate must try as much as possible to be modern in fighting for the right to food and food alone if democracy or modernity will eventually become postmodernity in the distant future.<br /><br />The following has been a cause for concern to me since 1995. It shows the extent to which Non-African academics are ignorant of the facts as it relates to Africa. It’s not suprising, seeing the wave of miscalculations that have plagued academic expression since it’s so-called domination in ‘the eventual mix of ‘café talk and the subjects of university thesis’ by the so-called ‘western thought’. Everliving Dr. Timothy Leary and ex-Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice won’t agree on the role the US must play in educating its people and sticking to solving its own unique problems – ignorance, guns, mono-linguality which is fast becoming illiteracy these days or equal to having only primary school education – youdon’t seem o be waiting for everybody to learn your language before they come to a coctail, barbecue, meet you in an airport, on the web, wait for a translation of yourbok or utterances in our hyper-reality, not postmodern or modern getting higher at a very fast pace Listen to Nazdrovie by Greta Gratos. (Nazdrovie, Cheers in Polish)<br /><br />I’m saying that a parallel school of thought exists in this world which could lead the world to excellence on all fronts, at least, not one which ends up with a problematic about a clear and holistic issue, even in the ‘morality’ of hallucinations: that ‘injustice’ is a form of ‘crime against humanity!’ being fought ‘tooth and nail’.<br /><br />An academic from ‘Africa’ had engaged in a series of discussion with ‘western’ academics and their folly is unlimited to their ignorance but spilled over into their so-called professorship as they made a pretty mess of African history, current affairs, philosophy and the modern-postmodern utopia, which I saw as an embarassment of intelligence.<br /><br />TO BE CONTINUEDOlarotimi Onayemihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02581689664437718261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903546750850511437.post-56139941438367520832009-11-17T08:03:00.000-08:002009-11-17T08:22:52.445-08:00Intro to my workI became active in human rights and advocating anarchism + eradication of poverty + full employment as a way to a peaceful world since 1989 while I was a student in Nigeria, studying Banking and Finance at The Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Owerri..<br /><br />Reading wide and research into what rocks the bottom of my heart from childhood - eradication of poverty and the propagation of intelligence - brought me to writing my ideas.<br />The first thing I wrote after graduation in 1991 was a play titled 'The Hostages of Life', later various poems, another play, 'The Glory Of Their Times' and 'Parvenu' + 'Coup d'Etat' + Sustainable Development Vs. Arrested Development etc.<br /><br />I also founded The Nigerian Environment Network in 1990, a working partner of the defunct Centre for Our Common Future, Geneva, Switzerland, which is now known as Environment and Development Network, a NGO working on environment, sustainable development, human rights, women's rights, travelling, migratory and workers rights and rights to housing medicine and education.<br /><br />I founded and edit a newspaper and news review called the Free World Review - an outlook of my various engagements (as well as the work ofother authors, journalists and individuals) in the free and oppressed world on the defunct geocities.com/updowncentre to propagate this cause while working as a freelance journalist in Geneva, Switzerland in 1999. I described the publication which I launched at the Maison des Associations, Geneva, Switzerland as 'an analysis of our freedom and bodage in fiction and reality'. The newspaper always advertised free development of websites for individual and community projects, for people and organizations whocannot afford it.<br /><br />I've been very active in anti-fascism, anti-racism and anti-discrimination initiatives with SOS Racisme, Switzerland; Workers Party, Nigeria, US and Switzerland; Ozgurluk ve Dayanişma Partisi - Freedom and Solidarity party Istanbul; Turkish Communist Workers Party in exile in Switzerland, Kurdish Movement, International Federation of Human Rights, Paris; United for Intercultural Action, Amsterdam and African Movement, Holland. I've been in 25 countries for work as a freelance writer and journalist (the only work I've ever done apart from working in a bank for a few months) and for physical and literary demonstrations<br /><br />I've written texts on 'The History of Stealing', 'The Redefinition of Everything', 'Schizophrenia Simplex' relates to the malaise of riches in governments and poverty of the people, even the Obama administration is now guilty 9 months is a long time; 'The Anarchist Machine' and presently working on 'The Third Kind', 'Jagabajantis' which literally means 'nonesense' in Yoruba as I relate it to the mess that Nigeria has become and will be for a very long time and 'The Corresponding Theory' that people tend to identify with what's around them, so we should scrap religion, the military, police and big business so people don't identify with this while applying 'benefitism' which I call the 'providing everything from free social infrastructures till we all die'.<br /><br />Others are Full Employment and Lasting Peace, Utopia, Dystopia, The Grandfather of Nonesense, A lady: The Prime Minister of Paradise and The Creation of Paradise…<br /><br />I'm working on a new website on wix.com/freeworldreview... and lightstalkers.org/olarotimi-onayemi as well as Africans Without Borders and World Without Borders registered in Geneva, Switzerland and has an online society on facebook.com.<br />Contact: 'Timi Onayemi, freeworldreview <at> yahoo.comOlarotimi Onayemihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02581689664437718261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903546750850511437.post-72915958071249753952009-10-28T10:18:00.000-07:002009-10-28T10:22:58.525-07:00The Goddess of Super Freaks (ongoing)THE GODDESS OF SUPER FREAKS<br />By ‘Timi Onayemi<br /><br /><br />We’re sailing to a land that is wild and free<br />Yesterday is gone<br />Baby desole,<br />Baby desole.<br />- Mark Knopfler<br /><br /><br /><br />Something approximated to an introduction<br />The Goddess of Super Freaks traces the life of Bose and Ronkee, mother and daughter; and their friends Tanri, Sango, Nikki, Jan, Mama T and Klein through their dreams, aspirations and use of drugs to heal their pains or just for fun.<br /><br />It details the effect of the long use of cannabis, lamb’s bread, ecstacy, crystal meth, amphetamines, LSDs, MDMAs, mushrooms, heroine, cocaine, crack and the hallucinations accompanying their use.<br /><br />The novels show that not all drug users crash as friends and people in the medical profession and charity organizations could help out.<br /><br />It include sequences: review of psychiatric treatments, therapy, legalization (laws applying to passive drug users) and addicts.<br /><br />Research have shown that the illegalization of drugs induce its widespread use especially among adolescents in places where there’s easy access to it, and adults in communities where it’s harder to get.<br /><br />Whatever the intention of the illegalization of drugs was meant to achieve; it has not been a success: it’s use is growing by the seasons and there’s more violence attributed to alcohol users than crack addicts.<br /><br /><br /><br /> ‘The Goddess of Super Freaks’ is about a lady, Ronkee, in the future Nigeria 3045AD who uses drugs like crystal meth, LSD, MDMA and cannabis’ white bread. She goes through extreme raves and waves of halluciinations which are certainly schizophrenic but her job as a rocket scientist and her hobby – wikipedia maverick makes her feel she’s just ‘feeling differently’ until her friends found out and help her while the neuropsychiatrist could not. It shows the inadequacy of popular psychoanalysis. It’s a critique of the psychoanalysis currently used. She’s becomes a writer and she writes: I write out her works which are a bang: Like ‘God keeps coming… tell him I’m gone’ and ‘What we do now is beter than what angels are doing if they exist’ and ‘Someone tell full-employment we’re ready!’. She quotes Wilhelm Reich who wrote: Give the ill all they need.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I<br />Wednesday, 9 May, 3045<br />Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria<br /><br />“God left a bad taste in my mouth today. I can’t stop him, he’s used to it now…”<br /><br />“Mum,” Ronkee cut in. “When are you going to cut down on this stuff, it’s killing, that what they say.”<br /><br />“The only authority on such things is Tim Leary. I believe in him more than in detractors. He’s a doctor, remember?<br /><br />It’s the drugs and Timothy Leary is the doctor who prescribed Lysergic Acid Diethylemide (LSDs) for everybody.<br /><br />“I’m leaving Mum, Tanri’s coming over for diner tonite.”<br /><br />“OK. Please put these books in my bedroom. Got to clear this table up a little.” Bose’s going to sniff heroine and really want to clear the table. A clean woman despite how everything turned out on her glass table and stained-glass lifestyle.<br /><br />Ronkee took one look at the books. Three of them.<br /><br />Screeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmm!!!<br /><br />“What the hell!” Bose jumped out of the sofa. “You scared me”<br /><br />“Self-Hypnotism?”<br /><br />“I used recorded CDs to ask questions, record utterances and wake up too.

The humour and the political affiliation. I love that guy!”<br />“Who doesn’t?”<br />“Ha! That asshole who own his record company’s still holding him to ransom and it’s killing him.”<br />“Yes, commercialization kills when you’ve got no government to bail you out with legal or financial aid. I better be going, it’s midnight already.”<br />“Bye!”<br />“Waiting for someone?”<br />Mama T did not give any sign. She did not hear the question asked at the same time that the heroine got to her heart. The whole world must have stopped or went to blazes. It’s the same feeling, according to Prosper Merimée, the French 19th century writer,<br />Jan knew she had to be left alone and amazingly he wasn’t afraid that she may never make it back to life as we know it<br /><br /><br />Mama T and Jan used to date.<br /><br />Their relationship is now based on the beautiful law of friendship. More people believe ‘guinea pigs’ from the opposite sex have to fuck themselves to achieve that kind of intimacy.<br /><br />I believe they just have to know what’s down there before both can be objective about what’s up there.<br /><br />They are both founding members of:<br />THE LEGALIZATION OF POT PROJECT, one of thousands of pressure groups around the world, from Africa and The Americas to Asia and Europe.<br /><br />Here in Central Amsterdam or Amadama as I call it, history’s about to be made: The Netherlands will be the first country in the modern era, whatever that means to you, to legalize some stupefiants, hallucinogenes and drugs.Olarotimi Onayemihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02581689664437718261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903546750850511437.post-26340005623249561572009-10-28T10:16:00.000-07:002009-10-28T10:17:43.311-07:00The Tie and Blu' Jeans RevolutionThe Tie And Blue Jeans Revolution<br /><br />By 'Timi Onayemi<br /><br />Our societies need a revolution.<br />We support our societies and our peoples<br />With some spontaneous reaction of the same<br />Equal Rights and Justice.<br /><br />There is or there is no design on the body of the people!<br />But you cannot dress up the soul!<br />It does not exist!<br />What we have and will always have is the body!<br />We must do everything to make it live with dignity!<br /><br />Their philosophy is not yet solid<br />That is why it destroys. -‘Timi Onayemi, 2000<br /><br /><br />At dawn, everybody in the world were naked like teeth, and the siren of the norm which survived in the majority of the peoples in all parts of the world was blowing civilization like wild winds wailing behind a ship that is about to lose its bearing, until it gained more steam and it did its worst…<br /><br />This made more people from both sides to curse God and Goddess, ancient and modern myths. Now we know that we all come from the protoplasm, the result of a reaction between lifeless material and toxic waters, muddy waters: a revolution.<br /><br />There were people on the side of nature and the natural sequence of things and on the premises of genetic engineering of the same, just like that: the creation of money and jobs out of thin air by central banks for all the people.<br /><br />People want a change, actually, another one, after democracy, the federation, the confederation, the unions, the republic and their failures.<br /><br />On the one side: War, crisis, invasion, deaths, life in relative abundance in the rythm of water everywhere and none to drink, famine, unemployment, market crash and no bail out. Anger!<br /><br />On the other side: War management and finance, propaganda, life in real abundance in the melody of savings that will last for a hundred lifetimes, overweight, emoloyed, market crash and bail out. Pleasure!<br /><br />One is up against the other,<br />Where push is coming to shove…<br /><br />There are so many trains in this tunnel.<br />The traffic problem is endless.<br />We can find another way to get there.<br />Authority in the blue-chip. Now we know where everyone is at all times.<br /><br />The world is free, of course, it costs nothing to be here and people die of hunger and cold? We will work for food but heaters should be free in temperate regions.<br /><br />If we have had any form of success until today, the United Nations (UN) must have all authority and responsibility to bring the whole world up to the standard of living befitting humans.<br /><br />The land is free and people fight over it? The UN must divide the land into two or more (unlike the system whereby some countries have more than one vote in the UN), warn the ‘warriors’ against ‘war mongering’ and keep watch forever; or tell them to live together in peace and take the arms and ammunitions away.<br /><br />The UN security council consist of 5 countries who claim to have nuclear weapons? You can be in this council: only when you don’t have them; only when I laugh at the reasons why other countries cannot have them. We put all weapons where George Bernard Shaw, Steve Biko, Marie Curie and Albert Einstein say they belong: the trash can. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the necessary agent, should produce fuel for civil purposes.<br /><br />All our societies have been infiltrated by organic ‘povertical’ mechanisms, only work or the government which has authority and must be responsible for the welfare of its citizens can insure people against its effects.<br /><br />Poverty kills but work does not.<br />So, onwards to full-employment revolution.<br />But, oh no…<br /><br />The people-traffic problem is endless in Pas de Calais, Tijuana, Tamanrasset, Istanbul and Darwin.<br />There are citizens of the world with political identities without financial insurance in South Africa.<br />There is racism and torture in Lagos, Los Angeles, Lahore and Geneva.<br />Who cares about The Geneva Convention?<br /><br />An endless series of grafitti can make it all look very sober like Miro, freaky like Salvador Dali or jazz it up like Satchmo, Sven Vath, Laurent Garnier and Oluwe for the high effects of the ties and blue jeans revolution in ‘Big, Blind Countries’ – ‘BBC’ just like Fela Anikulapo-Kuti sang.<br /><br />AN EFFECTIVE REVOLUTION<br />In old times long ago, it is fashionable to watch the effects of cycles experimenting with the limits of our extensions and resistance. Some people drive the instincts of the new-born through the bliss of that smile which evolves into the mud of a vulgar snarl as reality sets in.<br /><br />It sticks and we have children walking around with experiences of old-age without a shock and a reaction.<br /><br />Unfortunately, when individuals or groups have ideas, they can’t be destroyed. This one leads to paradise on earth and has no plans to destroy its children.<br /><br />The pro-creation of the way of the world knocks out of the prison rolling like rum-barrels on the way to our party. Our meeting talks in dialectical drives between a little bit of passion in reality and pure frenzy in the thespian art.<br /><br />The true-path of high fashion in our lifestyles hopes to bring ‘knowledge is power, when feeding is not a problem anymore and poverty is gone’, as close to the ground as it can get and deeper to the grassroots. Where philosophy, the United Nations and international relations have made no beneficial impact at all and terrorism is the focus of the new propaganda where…<br /><br />…wealth multiply<br />and people decay. – Oliver Goldsmith.<br /><br />There are so many people treating the ground as their bed and their lover. They have learned to keep their heads out of the sky in private, but feign adaptation to this society in public, sometimes through shoes, flying at symbols of oppression.<br /><br />SPIRIT REVOLUTION<br />It all came into conjunction with the spirit of the revolution.<br />The spirit off the revolution is crying for nothing.<br /><br />We erased eternity because people can understand pressure, oppression and life, only as a function of time, space, work and resources or re-allocation of resources.<br /><br />As the theory proceeded to the practical stage. We re-oriented sports to our taste and state. Our situation. Our ordeals. We summarized our proceedings on the Internet and in your favourite garden. Our movement is very strong. You have to see it in action. No miracles.<br /><br />SENSIBLE REVOLUTION<br />Sensible people who would not have anything to do with or plan for the future on the bases and basis of racist mythology felt that the colourful revolution must be over in a minute.<br /><br />When the same conditions now apply worldwide!<br />Which? The UN 1964 resolution: that people have the right to live and work wherever they chose; of free entry and exit into any city or countryside, worldwide. Well, reality’s bizzare.<br /><br />SENSELESS PROCESSES<br />Her advice: do not continue to meet about a primary issue from 64 years to centuries. It becomes boring and you will make us jack it out. We did. We removed the shock absorbers, people who vote for fascists or are nationalist sympathizers. They discriminate, bomb and kill by throwing people out of windows, trains and airplanes, shoot them up or cut their throats, tongues and baby’s pleets. If this is peace, then we should try anarchism: free movement of people, animals, goods and services.<br /><br />There are more peace processes than the Israeli-Palestine version and as senseless as it is. Amazingly, the people have no say in the bloody process.<br /><br />The descending, ascending or juxtaposable order of torture, tyranny, massacre or genocide, war, occupation is Hitler’s Nazi Germany replaced by the European Union (EU) – Jew – African - Yoruba – Arab – Peulh - Caucasian – Asian – Apache – Aborigines – Zulu - Miacchu Piacchu – Latino - Lingala – Igbo - Mina – Tiv – Ogoni – Xhosa – Swazi – Maori – Tuareg - etc.<br /><br />Somewhere else in the world, far from Israel where the Israelis want to lord it over Arabs and Falashas - describing governments and sometimes the people, the crisis looks like this:<br />Arabs want to lord it over Africans;<br />Africans want to lord it over Mexicans in America and in another Intra-African crisis;<br />Americans over the Apaches, Canadians, Latinos, Turks, Iraqis, Afghans; Canadians over Arcadians;<br />Turks, Arabs and Israelis over the Kurds, Armenian, Arameans, Iranians; Chinese over the Tibetans;<br />Australians over Papuans; Hispano-Italiano in Venezuela and Bolivia over the people; Dutch over the Indonesians and Indonesians over Bahasa; Russians over a wide range of peoples;<br />Europeans over the Saami, Magyar, Rroma (used to be called ‘Gypsies’); Serbian over Bosnian; Hutu over Tutsi;<br />G20 countries over anyone they can find; G77 countries and they can’t organize what they can find; The African Union (AU) and they can’t provide food, water, jobs, schools, hospitals and electricity to their citizens.<br /><br />The result is always a bloody conflict, because of some flimsy turn-out of events in history<br /><br />Whatever we feel about America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Polynesia, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Panama today the indigenous people have decided in UN resolutions that everybody got to go back to where they came from. Other UN resolutions want everyone to stay where they are and have freedom of movement and right to return which is non-existent because of the poverty level, this is where the mafia into people trafficking get their bite.<br /><br />Talk of Mauritania – Africans versus Arab invaders.<br />Think about Mauritius, Reunion and Comoros – when France and UK sell Islands to Multinationals who kick out the people. You want a war or what?<br />Cry for beloved Lumumba’s Congo-Kinshasa or Congo-Brazaville – when Belgium and France use citizens to disrupt governments and elements who are used to the profit call themselves ‘rebels’.<br />Uighur, Tibetan or Chinese in China according to the Communist dynasty. In Maghrebi where Arabs want to take care of the Kabylie.<br /><br />There’s one form of oppression or another in: Sudan, Somalia, Niger, Nigeria, South Africa, Nepal, Tibet, Brazil, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Cape Verde, Gibraltar, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, France, Spain, Cote d’Ivoire, Bolivia, Venezuela, Uruguay, Paraguay, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Guinea-Conakry, Guinea-Bissau, Suriname, Martinique, Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, Falklands, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Russia, Central African Republic, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Switzerland and everywhere we find people.Olarotimi Onayemihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02581689664437718261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903546750850511437.post-80340946422426937582009-10-28T10:14:00.001-07:002009-10-28T10:15:52.341-07:00The Democratic MachineTHE DEMOCRATIC MACHINE<br />By Olarotimi Onayemi<br /><br />Karel Capek, a Czech playwright explored 'the mass production of automata' in R. U. R. a drama published and performed in 1920 before the first set of modern computers were built and a detailed format owe its existence, not invention, to this play. Capek is considered the inventor of the robot.<br /><br /><br />Introduction<br />The human version of democracy has disappointed us<br />I plan to make The Democratic Machine.<br />A democracy and rights dispending machine.<br />It will enforce the development of politico-socio-economic infrastructures and<br />ensure they function at optimal levels.<br /><br />When we have the next general elections there must be a free-for-all system that will eliminate the supernatural powers of vetos, presidents, senators, bureaucratical labyrinths, rigging and forgery.<br /><br />Every citizen of the world will have access to The Democratic Machine. The programme referred to as The Democratic Machine is as close to artificial intelligence as we can get today. It will be on a lap-top computer, given to all citizens who can use it, while those who cannot will be aided by volunteers. There will be work for everyone.<br /><br />One, it will make us achieve a fully-technologized world; two, full-employment; and three, every human will carry a micro-chip and GPRS sysyem in their body, so we can all know where we are. This will also reduce crime or completely eliminate it as a machine is at the helm of affairs.<br /><br />The Democratic Machine is intended to carry out the intentions of the constitution to the last letter. Separation of powers will be exact.<br /><br />Humans are known to make mistakes or interprete the articles in the constitution detailing democratic principles in their own way and according to their own intentions. Successive governments claim to be working for the benefit of the people and progress of the country but their policies have shown no relation with such laudable objectives. In fact, review of such policies after such governments are gone have proved the contrary, since they are protected by the ‘diplomatic immunity’ while ruling.<br /><br />It will be working non-stop while parliaments and governments always go on holidays.<br /><br />The Scientists…<br />Scientists of the world have decided to work together with me to create The<br />Democratic Machine for the purposes of dispensing democracy everywhere on Planet Earth, and wherever its occupants have connections.<br /><br />For the benefit of doubt, all components and programmes of The Democratic Machine will be scientifically proven.<br /><br />Like six of its most interesting predecessors- the constitution, Robot, Babelfish, Space Stations, Satellites and the Internet, it is normal for detractors and ignorami who have come of age in anti-human beliefs to roll out into the streets and criticize The Democratic Machine.<br /><br />The old generation are still here in old robes but we need new blood to run the free world. We have a philosophy to accomodate criticisms of The Democratic Machine and to always update it’s function and reach.<br /><br />Public Democratic Machines<br />Doing the peoples', workers, bureaucratic, and public works from issuing the most frequently requested papers to passport renewals.<br /><br />Our Democratic Machine as The Public Democratic Machine will be called. It will be made of the highest quality iron, steel, fibre, calibre and timber. It’s<br /><br />Designed in the shape of the Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs), it will be made available on every street, squares, alleys, lanes, forests, mountain tops and farthest reaches of the world.<br /><br />These will be fitted with computer programmes, downloadables from the Internet, cameras, mobile phones, satellite phones, e-mail, websites, printers and artificial intellgence.<br /><br />It must be hanged out at a height that gives access to kids, adults and senior citizens.<br /><br />In future, when there are doubts about the identity of a citizen; if we can’t trust the courts to determine where she was when the riots erupted or where he was when the crime was committed, we make the concerned citizen appear in front of The Democratic Machine to clarify all issues.Olarotimi Onayemihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02581689664437718261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903546750850511437.post-81104698376613925902009-10-28T10:09:00.000-07:002009-11-17T07:43:23.337-08:00Scizophrenia SimplexSCHIZOPHRENIA and SOCIETAL SIMPLEX<br />By 'Timi Onayemi<br /><br /><br />We are me.<br />We are going to where we shall never be afraid anymore.<br />The thin line between the natural with the 'supernatural':<br />Societal Simplex.<br /><br />The system is crazy<br />It is rich and the people are poor.<br />An eternal distinction in this form is:<br />Schizophrenia Simplex.<br /><br />Going mad and getting better<br />To help others get better.<br />He looks at the World like a pack of cards.He plays games with it.He can heal the madness of Mankind, Taking Womankind to greater lengths unknown now<br />- ‘Timi Onayemi, 2001<br /><br />(Comparison pg governments to mad people as their policies keep plunging us into disaster. Comparison of sexual education and preferences to freedom at an early age. Comparison of a world of equal rights and justice giving out corresponding equal rights and justice. Q. E. D.)<br /><br />PrefaceThis story is a detailed overview of our past, present and our future. My belief is that authorities and the people live parallel lives. The ‘authority’ which is now known as the ‘government’, ‘intergovernmental’; ‘international agency or system’ like the United Nations (UN), African Union (AU), European Union (EU) and the equivalents of the last two in the Americas and Asia, are schizophrenic because the people suffer and die ‘dumb deaths’ daily from preventable medical ailments, political miscarriages and social malaise. The authorities today exhibit traits of Schizophrenia Simplex – a state of schizophrenia where ‘return to normality’ is impossible; by extension Societal Simplex is a situation in which we attain equality and justice, where a ‘return to inequality and injustice’ is impossible.<br /><br />For the purpose of this book, I will use the definition of schizophrenia given by Dr. R. D. Laing: a situation where the left side of the central nervous system does not receive messages from the right side and vice versa.<br /><br />This book is based on real life experiences in the past and the present while projections of the future are ambitious but not exaggerative, punctuated with phrases from several schizoid, schizophrenic, psychotic, egoistic, idistic, holistic and hallucinatory minds. A systematic and anti-systematic progression of the present by the wise, pragmatic or ignorant mind gives us a true picture of the future with small or wide margins of error, at least in close resemblances and according to the spectrum of our individual and group expectations, however intuitive, based on facts or fallacy as they may be.<br /><br />The general nature of the existential and biological life of all mankind is what we shall be considering, including the impact of slow and unmanifested cases of madness in all of us, machines and things around us in this universe and beyond; which is shown in our relations, actions, reactions, inactions, re-creations, destructions and aspirations, however, in a schizophrenic or schizoid state, we must not forget, that, so far, the existence of mankind on Earth has been a failure.<br /><br />If we get to forever and construct the present in the shape it must be<br />- by an inited guest on Al Jazeera TV<br /><br />There has been no success in our transition from feudalism to monarchy and on to capitalism, communism, militocracy and democracy. All political and social systems to date are always charcterised by autocracy, oligarchy, dictatorship, favouritism, oppression, treason and diplomatic immunity which shows loss of connection with reality between the people and authority.<br />More needs to be done in order to achieve a peaceful existence under a universal form of luxury in our experiments with life and the loss of lives in our societies: our global village, global society, civil society, criminal society yearning to be a legal society.<br /><br />The world is one and we are one people!<br />Why am I this and you are something different!<br />If only we had a global city where the same conditions apply!Can you see our anti-schizophreny now!<br />We shall enjoy it! Trust progress at least, from a society to a universal cosmopolitan city!There is no way to dissociate our lives from our beliefs, although what we encounter in our daily lives is unbelievable and unpredictable to the unseeing eyes and the unfeeling body, and what we shall do when we meet what we do not know or have never heard of as an idea, figure or faith is the mystery, always schizophrenic.<br /><br />She heard the voice of or he spoke to the Goddess or God they imagine.<br />Of course, one of the two is sick if the other is invisible.<br /><br />What we know before we meet this ‘whatever’ does not matter in our relationships with it or wars against it will be. We don’t even know what the third kind is. It may eventually be classed as human or animal.<br /><br />He saw a kind of God or he came to her while she was alone or vice versa<br />Things from heaven, purgatory or hell are hallucinationa in utopia<br /><br />She told me: my mind.<br /><br /><br /><br />I<br />The Announcement<br />Attention, ladies and gentlemen, guys and babes, this is your Commander, Schizophrenia Simplex speaking, the World is in a Şekunrunmeşeunşeun¹ State and we explode… Now…In history, madness has been treated in various ways from neglect, hypnotism, sorcery –if it exists and therapy contrary to the will of the patient, until the work of some psychiatrists, like R. D. Laing and Wilhelm Reich, better than Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, improved the way mad people are treated and how the society relates to them. Unfortunately, we are all afflicted.<br /><br />Laing will dress up or be naked just as his patient was and cured many schizophrenics. He had moved from London to Chicago after his right to practice medicine was revoked in the UK on the publication of his book titled ‘The Divided Self’ (1964) an exposé on his form of therapy in which he claimed to “think like them” and highlighted his achievements in the cure of psychosis, schizophrenia up to the boundary between problems with normality and the point-of-no-return which is Schizophrenia Simplex.<br /><br />In a landmark example at The University of Chicago, Laing was invited by the most senior psychiatrist who had earlier refused to work with him, to come and treat a girl considered to be schizophrenic, who was naked and had not uttered a word for three months. When he came to the door of the room where the girl was with the other psychiatrists he removed all his clothing. Everyone was surprised. He entered the room and sat beside the girl on the hammock where she was hanging out, and the girl started to talk, saying:<br /><br />“They are not like us”<br /><br />This paved the way to therapy and he eventually cured the girl.<br /><br /><br />II<br />You fall within our Specified Level of Societal Simplex<br /><br />I wish to say that in future, madness will be a 'normal' thing or case in the way making love in public is viewed in human societies today, as a normal thing in the abnormal place. There will be people who shall consider madness and sex in private and in public a normal thing as I consider it here.That is why you are within our boundsOur SocietyWe are not bound by the cloudsWe can fly out of it too.A particular distance from the way life is being lived in the mainstream, say the hypocisy of one's society or another may be easily interpreted as signs of immorality in the concerned individual, and we shall consider the right aspects of habits viewed as immorality or sickness, where culture, when perceived as wrong is disrespected and rightly so.<br /><br />III<br />The Noise<br /><br />The Noise of Cultures<br />Now, what kind of culture is this?<br />It’s common!<br />It’s the norm!<br /><br />The Noise of Religions<br /><br />The noise from the mesjid!<br />The noise from the cathedral!<br />The noise from your beliefs!<br />The noise from the demontrations against the war!<br />The noise pollution!<br />Can you keep it all to yourself?<br />Not so, when equal rights and justice is always on the line!<br />Thanks to sound-proof walls and doors!<br />Acoustic adaptation in architecture!<br />Why blow your belief out of proportions, wake up and make everyone feel uncomfortable?<br /><br />IV<br />Common Senses<br />I have learned some common-sense. Common culture. This way never ends. It is so beautiful. Going on in our culutre. With and without tears in your eyes.Here, we are going to explore ways of breaking out of cultureWrong cultures, normal culture, ssuperstitions, norms and so and religions Considered as manifestations of schizophrenia.<br /><br />V<br />We are schizophrenia simplex<br />Worldwide!<br />Everybody?<br />Not quite!<br /><br /><br />VI<br />Schizophrenia: The African ExperienceAfrican Affairs can be interpreted as a wild case of schizophrenia in governments, that is, in a situation where 54 countries on the same continent cannot develop in the bad-good sense of our kind of humanity while counterparts explore and create the bad-good sense in a different way and not a better one.<br /><br />Bombing the Poor.<br />Bombing Rights to blazes.<br />Bombing the local language.<br />Bombing the Jihad.<br />Bombing remnants of the crusaders.<br /><br />If you are a crusader what can you do about that?<br />If I am an idol worshipper, will I burn all the churches and the mosques and go home feeling happy.<br /><br />Two sides of a world coin cannot be worse.<br />Why do you want to preach to me? The contrast is more important than the comparison of Schizophrenia Simplex to Societal Simplex. When a society cannot get past the hypocrisy of poverty induced by governments! Why are they different?What kinds of similarities do they have?That and the here?He is compleketedly, completekly different from the past.He is no more what you know.He is something else.She is high-spirited.She is driven.She is Compulsory.This is Weird.The truth must be told, even at a detriment to the self, the society and the World.<br /><br />VII<br />Another One.<br />From Commandress Schizophrenia Simplex<br />This is your Commandress, Schizophrenia Simplexist speaking in my female voice.<br />Sleep on me. Take me out like Franz Ferdinand, the so-called Österreich Prinz and the musical group. All together now, call and response. I will push your ass back in if you leave it at the other. When I can’t find it I masturbate. I must have it now and forever. The world is what man does not know. Let’s sing a new song for the old ceremony as Irina Ratushinskaya wrote in her poems and Leonard Cohen sang it in another way.<br /><br /><br />VIII<br />Quote Commandress Schizophrenia Simplex.<br />We Open and Close as in:<br /><br />This is a new dance called Open and Close<br />Bend your yansh (butts) like Black Man<br />Chorus: Open and Close<br />Put your legs and arms together<br />Chorus: Open and Close<br />Throw your legs and arms away<br />Chorus: Open and Close<br />By Fela Anikulapo-Kuti & The African ‘70<br /><br /><br />Open and Close and Just like That are songs of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti who lived and died for Equal Rights and Justice, another song of Peter Tosh. So brave he lived, worked and criticized successive military junta in the heart of lawless Africa, Nigeria: enduring the beating, tear gas, politically motivated prison sentences, torture (the police and the army beat the saxophonist and pianist on his fingers).<br /><br />Open and Close, in the poem of J. P. Clark, another Nigerian poet from the Niger Delta region, referring to the mood in which the woman opening and closing her legs have and recreate in the man looking at what’s in-between, the vagina, which makes the penis hard and willing to enter the pubic region in private or in public.<br /><br /><br />IX<br />The Kegites Club as The Palm Wine Drinkards Club is popularly called in all Nigerian universities have this song:<br /><br />Windi no blow<br />The thing no go open<br />The thing (s)he no open<br />The thing no go hun (hard or stand)<br />The thing he no hun (hard or stand)<br />The thing no go enter<br />The thing he no enter<br />Belle (pregnancy) no go come<br /><br />If you wonder about the explicit description of some sexual organs and intercourse or if surprisingly includes pregnancy. I will try as much as possible to relate a Redd Foxx anecdote in a stand-up comedy somwhere in the US:<br /><br />Some people ask me why and criticize for speaking about sex in my jokes.<br />I tell them: I think I’m making jokes for adults.<br /><br /><br />X<br />What do we make out of children or adolescents who have just found out the truth about birth and sex?<br />Encourage them as Wilhelm Reich, a psychiatrist and psycho-analyst confirmed.<br />The thick line between the young and the old is disappearing<br />Now, there are children who grow up with a wild sense of adulthood.<br />Children growing up with war and poverty; discrimination and television depicting the crisis, hiding the intellect which says the world is free and asking why it all became so expensive!<br />Where Free-On-Board (FOB) or Free-Out-Of-Board (FOOB)<br />Becomes debt and bankruptcy?<br /><br />In İşe Omode or Child Labor in Nigeria and the so-called Commonwealth;<br />Borniche in France, Monaco, Luxembourg, Belgium and Switzerland;<br />Bonne Çocuk İş in Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan;<br /><br />There’s a thin line between the schizoid and the schizophrenic.<br />There’s a thicker line between the rich and the poor.<br />The middle-class keeps up the disappearing and re-appearance acts.<br />There’s a thick line between the government and the people.<br />The government is rich and the people are poor.<br />Bokassa, Mandela,<br />Obama, Yar’Adua.<br />Papa Doc or Baby Doc.<br />Chavez or Sarkozy.<br />Toure or Calmy-Rey.<br />Gül or Cul.<br /><br />Co<br />The depth of some love and lust in my feminist schizophrenia<br />Grinds as I brush one wall against the other all my life.<br /><br />The children in some secondary schools in Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria came up with un autre faison de parler; another way to speak, compose and sing. One example is:<br /><br />Obo (Yoruba word for Vagina) is a dangerous thing<br />Smelling like a rotten potato<br />Everlasting sore<br />Covered with a very big bush<br />İşu Gongo (Big Yam)<br /><br />In the same city and beyond, the vagina is referred to as my uncle told me as fish.<br />Soup (It’s lickable.)<br />Mortar (Can be pounded like Yam for the Pounded Yam dish.)<br /><br />The children call penis various names: Oko (Yoruba word for Penis.<br />Iron Rod.<br />Bender.<br /><br />What we cannot tell you we tell ourselves.<br />It is proven that people are used to tell one another what they will never tell the government official.<br /><br />She went through plastic surgery through the Silicon Valley (The Internet) to get to and go through the gates of the cheapest plastic surgery you can find in the world in 2009 Anno Domini (?) in Salvador de Bahia dos Santos, Brazil in order to get to the beautiful lady in her mind.<br />Unquote.<br />Commandress Schizophrenia Simplex<br /><br /><br />XI<br />Salvador de Bahia dos Santos, Brazil, is the main city of the Yoruba, West African and other African slaves brought to Brazil by the Portuguese. It’s the home of Ifa or Candomblé, the Yoruba traditional mysticism, religion, medicine and philosophy compiled in a book or texts often referred to as 16 Cowries based on a belief in the creator Olodumare and 400 other Gods.<br /><br />One of these Gods came down to Earth on a gold chain made from the jewellery of all the Gods with a rooster and sand. (Well, a way to explain that the rooster came from heaven, but where’s the hen it will fuck before the egg ...?)<br /><br />Finally!<br />Now you know of primitive thought without hell and eternal horror!<br />Heaven without a corresponding Hell.<br /><br />There’s no hell in the Yoruba language and belief!<br />There’s paradise!<br />Of course, we’re in Paradise on this Earth!<br />In this beautiful world when we did not pay to get here!<br />Do you ever ask yourself why we pay to live here.<br />Yes we gotta work.<br /><br /><br />XII<br />Full Employment Simplex<br />Where we all work as men and women did in the times of subsistence.<br />We’re all employed<br /><br /><br />XIII<br />Madness in the UN Again Like All-Time Losers<br />The government must go through a revolution of rights and justice; of the universal provision of food insurance, health insurance and unemployment benefita for every citizen in the so-called developing world according to The United Nations Conferences on Least Developed Countries.<br /><br /><br />XIV<br />Beyond Societal Simplex<br />Waiting for a world of sane and insane people as we always had it but living in luxury, equal rights and justice.<br /><br /><br />XV<br /><br />Roll on in Cashee, Roll on in Gbangudu, Roll on in Carousel<br /><br />Roll on in Carousel now<br />Some thoughts are now expressed freely<br />Without the threat<br />Of treason or<br />Of the ultimate death penalty.<br /><br />Three arrests with canabis in some US states is a felony.<br />Felony for smoking the greens.<br /><br />Roll on in Carousel<br />Riding a motor-bike in Europe without an helmet<br /><br />Roll on in Gbangudu<br />You can ride Okada, the name of the founder of Nigeria’s first commercial national and international airline which later ran into financial troubles and packed up.<br />You can ride another Okada, the name of the troubled airline given to commercial motorcycles.<br />You can ride Okada, the motor-bike, without helmet until 2008<br /><br />Now we all roll on in a Carousel and Okada mix!<br /><br /><br />XVI<br />Welcome to Coup d’etats! Goodbye to Coup d’etats for a while.<br />Welcome to Chasis! Goodbye to Chasis!<br />Civilian Madness and Military Madness!<br />Chasis Madness Turns to ‘Belgium’ Madness when it passes through the reaction of mad rogues in governments with what’s known as ‘The History of Stealing By Government’<br /><br />Nigerian citizens were used to buying new cars called chasis from the 19th century until 1982, when Shehu Shagari, the so-called Executive President introduced Austerity Measures. His cronies including Meredith Akinloye, chairperson of the defunct National Party of Nigeria (NPN); Richard Akinjide, Attorney-General and Umaru Dikko, Minister of Communications loot the national treasury. Shagari’s ruled from October 1, 1978 to 31 December, 1983 when he was kicked out by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari and company. That was the end of the so-called second republic because of the break-in-transmission caused by a coup d’etat in on January 15, 1966 which put an end to the first republic which started on October 1, 1960. The day of Independence from the Brits.<br /><br />There were lots coups and military-cum-civilian deaths in 13 years.<br /><br />The first, 1966 coup was planned by Colonel Nzeogu, who wouldn’t salute the corrupt civilian rulers. He had been schooled in socialist military tactics while fighting and serving in Burma as a British colonial army officer. He had decided to put an end to the mess in governance; but former UN Blue Berret Commander in Congo and Nigerian General J. T. U. Aguiyi-Ironsi became Junta leader or Commander-in-Chief of The Armed Forces, claiming the well-known reasons for military coups or civilian, for example, Hitleric reasons for taking over the government by force.<br /><br />Ironsi suspended the constitution, ruling by edits, decrees and force.<br /><br />Second Coup d’etat: The Madness Rages On in Udoji’s Salaries in Advance from Oil Wealth<br />Another school of army officers led by Colonel Yakubu Gowon killed him in July 1966 in the office of Colonel Fajuyi, the military commander of the western region. Fajuyi told the coupsters something like you have to kill me before you kill the leader of the military junta.<br /><br />The Udoji commission told the junta to give people salaries in advance and prices sky-rocketed. Junta’s Gowon visited India and paid the salary of the Indian civil service.<br /><br />Third Coup d’etat: Getting Used To The Madness In Socialist Military Juntizm<br />General Murtala Mohammed kicked out Gowon in November 1975 while he was on tour in some foreign country.<br />3 months later...<br /><br />Fourth Coup d’etat In Form of Murtala’s Assassination<br />Colonel Bukar Sukar Dimka, military sharp shooter met Gowon, 2nd coup leader in exile in London on his way back to Lagos from Military Games in Portugal.<br /><br />That was one stop-over too many!<br />He shot Murtala on February 13, 1976. The Federal Military Government’s Police Commissioner, Bisala, leading the conspirators told him to go away. Dimka was drunk! He thought Bisala told him to go kill him tomorrow. Even if he told you to go away and you think he wants you to kill the ‘socialist’ junta tomorrow, what are you gonna do afterwards!<br /><br />He went to the British embassy in Lagos and the Brits won’t let him in.<br />It’s not yet time sucker!<br /><br />The 27 conspirators were shot. One of them attended the same private kindergatten and primary school I attended: Childrem’s Home School, Molete, Ibadan, Nigeria.<br /><br />Fifth Coup d’etat or Palace Coup<br />General Olusegun Obasanjo, Murtala’s deputy, took over. He completed his or Murtala’s Nationalization of foreign businesses and started his own capitalistic plots. He handed over to the civilians in 1978 before he will be shot dead in the raging madness.<br /><br />The Abortive Copus, Corpus, Corpsus and Coups In-Between the Succesful Ones<br />Well, my mother Aşabi told me in 1982, I was 14, when we were talking about the madness raging around us that abortive coup leaders and conspirators are killed because their coup was not a success.<br /><br />Fair enough!<br /><br />My grandmother, Towobola, told me in 1991 that one eventful night at the Dodan, seat of the military juntas, there were gun shots all night!<br />From the grapevine she heard that abortive coupsters were being shot all night.<br /><br />Fair enought!<br />Oh really?<br /><br />Not an unfortunate night by military standards.<br /><br />Coup d’etat: Schizophrenia Simplex in Kangaroo Miltary Governments<br />Austerity measures introduced by Shagari in 1982 were like the IMF’s SAPs or something that looked like it introduced by General Babangida in 1988 (?) after he bacame Military President by Decree in 1986<br />: the government removes subsidies, local industry collapses and the government allow the importation of cheap goods and services. Cheap at first but inflation or hyper-inflation rocks in. Used imported goods have to fill the vacuum and the first set came from Benelux countries: Belgiım, The Netherlands and Luxembourg.<br /><br />Chasis madness turns to ‘Belgian’ madness.<br /><br />Welcome to the Hell on Earth<br />After a brief spell in paradise on Earth!<br />Nigeria has come to that!<br />Welcome to Ghana!<br />Or vice versa!<br />Nigeria has come to that!<br />Welcome to Bangladesh!<br />Or vice versa!<br /><br />Their Schizo Sings!<br />Chasis madness go away!<br />Tricycle madness ready for you!<br /><br />Now you can roll on in Tricycles from India and Bangladesh<br />Keke Marwa in Lagos.<br />Marwa’s the Minister of Transport who introduced the tricycles to Nigerian streets and peoples.<br />Keke Mufu in Ijebu-Ode.<br />Mufu’s one of the sick officials in the Ijebu-Ode Local Government.<br /><br /><br />Schizophrenia in South Africa and Switzerland<br />From Invasion by Dutch, English, Germans, Poruguese, Spaniards and French<br />To Calvinism from Geneva<br />The basis of Apatheid!<br />There’s a chapel-like meeting place in the old city of Geneva called something like the Calvin House!<br />I shivered when I saw it.<br />Not quite where a Nigerian must be.<br />Calvin, not the cat is still revered in Geneva!<br />The Geneva Convention and what happened when I was recording the arrest of 3 Nigerians by Swiss policemen in Genevea in 2001.
