Please do set it free, and assure you, you will be glad you. I have had such experience a couple of time, although, could not narrate the out come here now. Thanks indeed, l know you surely let it go.

Hey, l think whatever their bitterness about Mr. Obi should be put on hold for now. This is simply because of the current political climate. Indeed, it would amount to a hight of distraction not to be aware of what l may call- a delicate and uniquely- Nigerian- political- imbalance without paying attention to the most fundamentals of politics without limit.

Human Dignity must takes the first place when taliking about humanity. This is because every human being possesses an inherent worth and must never be treated merely as a tool, object, statistic, or instrument of another person's ambition, and this is sino quano.
The same is true , because human dignity is the foundation upon which a humane society come to be built. No political position, economic interest, or social status, ideology, institution, or technological achievement should be allowed to diminish this basic worth of a human being.
What could be the implications, the impllication could be found when a system produces prosperity at the expense of human dignity,of which that system must be subject to be questioned.
Therefore, reason becomes a Responsibility, because the capacity to think, question, examine evidence, and change our minds is one of humanity's greatest responsibilities.
We should not surrender our judgment to propaganda, prejudice, fear, tradition, authority, or popular opinion. This is because, Reason does not mean that human beings have all the answers; it simply means that we are willing to search honestly for a better answers.
Make no mistakes, that the practical implications is lay bare when , before accepting a claim, ask: What is the evidence? What assumptions are we making? and Could we be wrong? which must becomes a Sino quano.
The same is true that Freedom Must Be Joined to Responsibility. Why?
Because Freedom is not simply the right to do what we want, on the contrary, it is the responsibility to understand the consequences of what we do.
A society that demands freedom without responsibility eventually turns freedom into a weapon against others. Therefore, a genuine freedom requires maturity, self-discipline, respect for others, and the recognition that our choices exist within a shared human world.
Therefore, exercising your freedom without deliberately destroying the freedom, dignity, or wellbeing of others.

And about the question of Authority, we must know that no human authority should be considered beyond examination, criticism, or accountability. because respect for authority must never become blind obedience. The same is true that leaders, institutions, governments, traditions, experts, and even our own assumptions must remain open to reasonable questioning.
The practical implications is often found in the asking of a difficult questions—not because authority is always wrong, but because unchecked authority can become dangerous.
Hence our knowledge Must Serve Humanity and Knowledge becomes truly valuable when it expands human understanding and contributes to human flourishing in our advancement,in Science, education, philosophy, technology, and research to give humanity extraordinary power. But the ability to do something does not automatically make doing it right but we must continually ask not only "Can we?" but also "Should we?"
Therefore, the measure of progress by how much knowledge improves human life, could not merely be found by how much knowledge we accumulate. But it must begin With Responsibility for Yourself, that lay the foundation for a better society, that begins with individuals willing to examine their own conduct.
It is easy to condemn corruption, injustice, dishonesty, or incompetence in others while participating in smaller versions of the same behavior ourselves. Humanism therefore demands self-awareness before moral judgment and not without implications that demands that before asking "What is wrong with society?", also must ask, "What part of the problem am I helping to create?"

Humanity as an Unfinished Project.
We are not finished as human beings, and civilization is not a completed achievement rather it is an ongoing.
Humanity remains capable of learning, changing, correcting its mistakes, and to becoming more humane. The purpose of the Contemporary School of Humanity is therefore, not to claim that we have discovered the final answer, but on the contrary, to create a culture in which human beings continually seek better answers.
Practical implication:- Do not ask only, "What are we?" Ask also, "What can we become?" because it is a process and reality.
WHAT WE BELIEVE;-
The Contemporary School of Humanity believes that human beings possess the capacity to reason, learn, create, cooperate, love, question, and indeed, reform, and improve the conditions of life.
We believe that human dignity must be protected,and reason must be cultivated, while freedom must be accompanied by responsibility. And the same true, that knowledge must serve humanity, and power must remain accountable.
We believe that progress should not be measured merely by buildings, wealth, technology, or economic statistics.
On the contrary, progress is ultimately measured by the quality of human life and the quality of human beings we produce in the process.
WHAT WE REJECT;!-
We reject the idea that human beings should be treated as disposable object or materials.
We reject blind obedience.
We reject the abuse of political, economic, social, intellectual, and technological power.
We reject corruption as a normal condition of society.
We reject the deliberate manipulation of ignorance.
We reject intolerance that turns human differences into reasons for hatred.
We reject the belief that tradition should automatically triumph over reason.
We reject the idea that technological advancement automatically constitutes human progress in the process.
And we reject the comfortable belief that someone else has to be responsible for changing the world, without our taking responsibility.
We are participants in the world as criticize.

The humanist citizen is not a perfect person.
The humanist citizen is but a person willing to think, learn, question, listen, accept responsibility, admit mistakes, and act with regard for the sake of the dignity of others.
Such a person does not surrender personal judgment to political leaders, social pressure, fashionable opinion, and if like, inherited assumptions.
The humanist citizen understands that citizenship is more than possessing rights.
Citizenship is participation in the very responsibility of building a sane and healthy society.

Often time when I made a mistake, I do ask myself why the blunder. Soon after, I did come to remember of the Greek philosopher Thales, who asserted that to know oneself, although comprehensible but is not an easy task.

It remain so, because we often tends to resist the very task to do so. This is simply because, it is a learnable skill that required an effort and time through which we can get better at it and therefore, it is an ongoing process of a life time .

But the attainment of self-knowledge is but a demonstration of impersonality and if you like humility in a way. And impersonality is a factor in the practical life with a circle of development and experience of the most varied and often perplexing character. Indeed, it is the quality of being detached neutral without showing personal feelings and identity.

As it were, impersonality has many level that ranges from the minor detachment exercises to that of the extreme spiritual aloofness that is often time very strikingly and yet natural. But in whatever level it plays out, there is always in its exercises, something that is exceedingly arresting and influential to those who can afford to witness it in any individual life, but very really.

The reason is that the nature of the concept of impersonality of any individual is so unique and so contrary to the ordinary well known law of personal expression, the reason is simply because we are so use to our everyday life Without paying much attention to what has nothing to do with us. What I think we don’t often realize is that our fleeting impressions and if you like, the accidental associations have no fixed counterpart in a ‘real’ and stable world. The real world of phenomenon, often develop its own logic and leave us to yearn for a firm metaphysical anchor that we often find difficult if not impossible to grapple in our daily life.

The same is true, that anyone who tends to engages in its culture and practice will quickly and mutedly be distinguished from his fellow individuals.why ? Because it is a complete departure from the ordinary and everyday common existence. This stern from the fact that, it has its origin from a plane outside of that of everyday observation and thoughts, because it is the very manifestation of which ordinary consciousness almost refuse to sanction. And there is a reason for this and it is simply because it makes us aware of the divinity that overshadows our human consciousness that invite us to our heart surrender to its beneficen, of which we often continue resist.

It must be observed, however, that there is no evidence to suggest that apart from human being, there could come what looks like a prepackage mechanism for a meaningful self-appraisal, to ask such question as to -what and why certain situation is taken place, be it personal or collective.

The task no doubt, rest in human ability that allows us to examine closely the very process we come to think, feel and react to everyday occurrences. The process and concept of impersonality tends to upset any preconceived ideas and action as it reject any form of limitation and pride of the intellectual self as to falsify the well ground maxim of liberal education.

This however, is one of the reason so many few individual are disposed and willing to tread seriously upon the culture whose nature has more or less a forbidding aspect. Because often, it tends to oppose so much of that which is firmly established and prized in the personal life of every individual. However, it remains a condition and a force of supreme value in the evolution of individual consciousness and it is imperatively acceptable from everyone that seek to walk on the partway of self-knowledge.

It is unfortunate that Davido is said to be insulting our Governor. It is unceptable, because l think Davido, is a great guy and respectable singer and we love him. The same is also true, no one should disrespect his uncle, the Governor.
We all need some level of discipline, to respect everyone, irrespective of our defects, politically or otherwise.

There are people who may question the need for philosophy, although, this may come to depend on the environment, of why studying philosophy when you cannot get something doing with it, as for when it has to do employment.

But currently due the rise of AI, there are some school of thought, who viewed the subject differently, for the fact philosophy has a stake in the word of AI, hence, with such assessment, it has beginning to be as important .

There is cogent reason for that ,simply because as machines are growing at better in producing information, the same is true, that there arise the very challenge humanity has to face which is , no doubt, raises the question, of, no longer of how to find answers, but how to judge which answer have what it take to be believed.

It will be observed that,often times , when people thought of philosophy, what comes to mind, is Plato and Aristotle, the ancient Greek Philosophers, that could be pictured debating some abstract questions in the town hall.

This is so because, philosophy is rooted from that
tradition as we all know and it is much more than isolated academic exercise, as it were. It must be observed that philosophy at its core to teach us how to think critically, evaluate evidence , if you like , how to recognize some level of flawed in the faculty of reason, as it never stopped to question the assumptions that shape the very understanding of the world.

The same is true that currently, these very skills, if you like, are becoming valuable in the arena of AI system generated information that often seems unprecedented in speed.
As it were, it is not without a challenge, which is not that of simply accessing the knowledge, but also determining what could be true and reliable, and make no mistake, that this is shift that has not gone on unnoticed in the system.

Therefore, because of this singular facts, some major AI industry , no doubt, are beginning to sort philosopher to address some of vital questions that may has to do with social consequences in emerging technologies.

This is because, the development of these technology of AI, in particular ,not only has technical challenges but also has that of moral issues and indeed, philosophical challenges as regards an ethics where philosophy becomes important.

This is also true, because the very task of philosophy has always to preserve the conditions of human judgment and critical reflection which is essential in any Democratic setting.

In this perspective, a political philosopher, Hanna. A., did worn about the danger of separating technical knowledge from a genuine thinking.
This is simply because, if it turn out to be true, that knowledge and thoughts have parted company for good, no doubt, human being, would indeed, become the helpless slaves.

Accordingly, it is not so much about the machine, as of our know- how, the thoughtless creature, we have become at the mercy of every gadet that are technically possible, no matter how murderous it may sound. According to Hanna, we must acknowledge that it would not actually the machine, solely in this case, AI, which could make us helpless slave, in the way it tends t reveal everything, that is technically possible to the newest advanced and freely available to use.

Because really, it can do virtually everything. But the reality is that we are less to question the information it gives as we become the thoughtless creature, we are, as we pluged the Prompt into the ChartGPT, which does not require much thought.

It must be observed that for years philosophers have debated about the question of - Truth, Responsibility, Justice s, and indeed, Fairness for thousand of years, and today, it is becoming obvious that those same questions are re- emerging at the very center of the discussion Sorrunding artificial intelligence. This is because, the challenge is not about building a machine to produce an answers, but to ensure that human being retain the capacity to question those answers and think.

As it were, philosopher would no doubt, offer to resist such drift, as it demand that we question, reflect, and indeed, justify our belief rather than just remain passive to consume every answer placed before us.

When speaking really, of "the Purpose and Meaning of the journey of life" , one must bear in mind of the perspective of which one is speaking. In my my humble opinion, I think, that would come to depend a great deal on the material and spiritual perspective that may come to eventually influenced any individual in such understanding of what this could really means. And this no doubt, would come to raise such basic questions of the like , of how an individual come to get a purpose of life, that tends to encompassed the three essential area of our existence: Life, Death and Time.

In addressing this topic in general terms, one would suggest that one of the difficulties is that we often come to imagine it as something we discover rather than what we make of it, hence, we speak about finding our purpose. as if is something hidden somewhere awaiting us with the answer to be find before we take what might called the necessary action. In this perspective, it would suggest that Meaning tends to grows in the opposite direction. Indeed, we become interested, and get committed to something and involved with people or ideas , and even places, only later we come to realize that a sense of purpose has already gathered around such experiences. Therefore, starting something or anything rather than waiting for a sense of purpose can be said to be Meaningless in our life journeg .

The same is true, there may be another difficulty, which is much of about our lives purpose which has arrived already attached to whatever circumstances we may be finding ourselves at any given time . For instance, education, no doubt, gives us a goal to work towards and may be to solve some of our existential problems: of the like of job, children, parents growing older that need us in turn. At this point, we may come to complain about these obligations we tends to be carrying along with our daily existential journey, as it may also come to spare us from another question entirely, of the like of what shall we do with our freedom. Indeed, this is the reason why some times, the very concept of retirement can make us to feel so disorientating, while almighty freedom that come with it, could tends to be presented as uncomplicated blessing at the same time .

But philosophers have often come to regard it more suspicious than that, because according to -Jean-Paul Sartre, one of the French Existential philosopher, would described us as a being "condemned to be free", that tends to mean that once external structures fall away from us, we become responsible, of who must decide the sort of life we are going to lead of which such responsibility, no doubt, could remarkably make us feel and put us in state of anxiety. And another German- philosopher -Erich Fromm, in his "Escape from Freedom , in the same vain, would write to argue that people often imagine they want freedom until they possessed it . But when they get it , they soon discover that freedom comes, not without uncertainty and responsibility that would soon make us to began to search for somebody or something to tell us how must live our lives. The question once again is, are we suffering less from lack of purpose than from an excess of almighty freedom, this remain the question.

It must be observed, however, that there is no one telling us what come next, and no obvious script is left for us to follow and no one is out there to hand us an instruction and guess what, often time, loneliness began to knock on our door and if you like, there will be possibility with the habit of disguising itself, as almighty emptiness. Therefore, instead of awaiting to be assigned a purpose, it is often advisable to risk our anxiety our loneliness to get involved in the creation of something . In this perspective, there seems to be nothing like philosophy when it comes to searching for Meanings, as one Frankl Viktor who survived the concentration camps and emerged with the idea, that life often ask for something of us rather than the other way around, of which "Meaning" no doubt, emerge through creating something, through loving something outside ourselves and indeed, through the attitude we bring to our experiences we could not avoid.

In the understanding of the value of knowledge ,it has to do with a broad concept that tends to encompass facts and information and skills acquired through, if you like , an experience or education. Because it is like data stored in a book, and if you like, of the like of database , that tends to reside within an individual's understanding and indeed, ability. This is true, such that for any individual looking to make an informed decision , in respective of the type of decision, such knowledge ,no doubt, serve as what one may called a foundational element. This is true because it tends to come to empower you to analyzes the situations, understand the complexity of the topic as to navigate the terrain, so to say, effectively. In this perspective, investigation is carried out through the knowledge acquired that lead to a better outcome in its various aspect, that may has to do with career choices and even, personal wellbeing. Of course, no doubt, that education tends to be a partway, because it tends to provide a structured curricula, and indeed, expert instruction ,if you like, and a recognized credential that could tends to signify the level of understanding in the field.
Therefore, pursuing a degree, or any form of certification of any kind, no doubt, can be a significant investment at any given time in a life time . And this may eventually come to be an open- door for a specific career path that could provide a comprehensive foundation in any chosen subject area in the long run. This can be in the consideration of the specific skill and information that one might need, and in particular, in the area of research programs that may align with our goal and learning style. The same is true, that through what one might call the -self directed learning and resources, there is a vast knowledge accessible in this area of the like of - reading books, articles, and indeed, online courses and tutorials, in this age of internet.

The most humble Nigeria Politician, Peter Obi, happy birthday, with the best wishes with long life a d prosperity.

Man is naturally active in the face of any challenging situation. But when devoid of knowledge, there still will always a remain in him some form that is inclined to his self-realization as a man, he is created to be.
This man created to be, is endowed with intelligence through which his inclination tends towards his object of apprehension. We mean by apprehension, that feeling of fear or anxiety about something that might happen, which is the minds early warning system. And this is the very source of his free activities and his will, of which, the main object of his will is always the good as such. But what do we understand by the (will)? the will is that force that makes our intention move from idea to action.
As it were, when the intellect of man present some images of his will, there is what one might call, an immediate or spontaneous embrace or response in the acceptance of the will.
Simply because, the will of man seek only those form of good, which is fundamentally the good in itself through which all the particular form of good always tends to participate at any given time.
Therefore, the human intellect is always ready to offer the known object, as the sovereign good in itself , of which the will would always seize it with an immovable-grip as an act of it's most perfect liberty or freedom.
But unfortunately, man with his natural limitations, do not often has the capacity to directly see the supreme perfection before him, and because of this shortsightness, he results to what one might call, a tentative effort- in his process to grapple with his process of reality.
And he do this with incessantly renewed effort in his intellect to determine among the form of good.
These forms of good are the one bound to the sovereign good through the necessary connection wherein, consist the liberty or freedom of man. It must be observered that man's unshakable adherence to the sovereign good is very often come to denied him, hence, his will must direct his attention to the particular form of good.
The reason for this could be found in his fundamental problems of morality. Now what is morality?, In fact, morality is the system of principle, that tell us what is right or wrong and what is good or bad. It said that morality is not invented, it is revaed on our heart. The same is true that, it is mentioned in the scripture 84 times- " Fear not, do not steal, love your neighbor as yourselves ". The problem of morality- is cented on the like of how to determine the particular good he could choose. And when eventually known, of how to determine the acts in view of the ends in process.
As it were, there is always the question of man's "intention "-in the process. We mean -intention, the why behind what you do before you actually do it, which is the motion of the will, if you like, that tends to move itself, and all other power of the soul toward a particular object, which is the object of intention, and the reality of certain end in view at this point.
It must be observed that to reach an end, there must be a means to desired such an end. But what do we mean by desire?, the desire is the pull you feel towards something before - intention and will actually show up themselves in the process. Therefore, it is the same intention that must always tends to run through the successive volition of the different means in the process.
The same is true, that it is always the "intention" that "will" the means in view which is the "object" of the end in view. Therefore, it is "Sino - quano" - and imperative, that since the human acts in various form needs to deal with singular cases and objects, it therefore , must requires an act of deliberation necessary to establish an appropriate means required, in view of such end.

Caligrafic error of Slavic journey, instead it was to be written, - Salvific journey. The journey we are to be saved or delivered.
Thanks.

The development of science and technology cannot actually free humanity from the very obligation to ask the ultimate existential questions. On the contrary, it actually could spure to face the most painful and sometimes, decisive struggles of those of the heat and the questions of moral conscience. Make no mistake, that the contemporary man tends to have the greater need for inner- self as well as the out-self in order to know God and know himself .
The same is true, that with such knowledge, man can authentically, nurture the sense of dignity and respect for others. Indeed, through such knowledge man, no doubt, may come to know the true meaning of the value of life and work through the part of true freedom, Justice and Peace.
It must be observed that, one of the Christian truth, is not about ideology but in the recognition without any iota of doubt, in the changing of the social and if you like, of the political reality in favour of man, which cannot be confined to any rigid political structures. Make no mistake, it call for a deep reflection of the very need for a constant re- affirmation of the Transcendental that encompasses the dignity of the human person.

In the evolutionary Salvific journey of man, there have not be lacking of numerous advocate of genuine emancipation of humanity. The emancipation, that inspire, not in passive acceptance, but in authentic and firm resolve to work effectively in the way of truth. The way of truth that inspire to assist man once and for all, from any form of oppressive and violence forces and indeed, from the shackle of poverty of our time, that tends to pavade the current political system.

As never before, there is the need for a shift of focus towards a firm resolve to return humanity to his rightful place in the scheme things as to maintain his dignity. At this point, it is also a moral issue, because out there, are a bunch of haggard and hungry folks of the like of Lazarus, in spite of the scripture education over the centuries
hanging around us.
Of course, this is nothing but the hight of moral defficency of which majority are deprived in the mix of plenty, as results of self -centered and distraction, hence, the need of the shift of focus, of which the current political value system could be held responsible and accountable.
Indeed, the current value system, is asking for a shift in focus, for the sake of balance and moderation, without drifting in either political extreme, in the quest for authentic regulations towards man's rightful place in the system. As it were, it call for urgent need to strive to balance the material well-being and spiritual well-being, and indeed, the self and others without anyplay of act of political indifference, of which posterity will not leave anyone accountable.

Despicable and shameful indeed. A very bad image of a state called Edo State, an act of indiscipline to treat Children as adult. There is no words adequate to explicate the high level of indiscipline and incompetency that is infesting the society at large. May God save Nigeria and save Edo State.

The development of Character, no doubt, will course strong inner living and to an extent, to the facing up to our daily challenges. In this context, our doing becomes what might be called, the overflow of being, I. e, we do things with our whole mind without blaming anyone, as long as our inner self- is growing and not without focus, of which the outward living, takes care of itself.
According to the scripture, in Prov. 23:7, ( "as man thinks in his heart, so is he". Therefore, often times, our outward living is the reflection of who we are on the inside. Unfortunately, due to distraction, the what l may call the modern ambitions tends to consume our focus. In reality, our fliving should have been focused on the deeper and fundamental questions of the meaning, purpose and indeed, the spiritual dimensions of our living. In fact the scripture speaks of the changing of the heart, the inner attitude, the core of our being of the individual of which such changes, works it's way to the outside- as we put on a new self. It must be observed that it is the love of Christ that can truly change what is inside us, not our own will and our ability.
Therefore, our inner growth, no doubt, will always results in our external growth. Of course, it is only the hypocrite, who their inner world and outer world do not match. The same is true that we are in an age of which many are busy cultivating a life of pretence, developing a false public image , not without a great vigor and yet failing to give adequate attention to the heart. But such failure, not doubt, his it's implications, positive or negative, as the case maybe. As human, we are made up of three parts, to put it kindly, which is - our heart or spirit, our body and indeed, our our mind. We are always being saddled with the responsibility to balance them, for our own sake. It will be observed that with our body, we relate with the physical world, with our mind, with the intellectual world, and indeed, with our heart, with our inner dimension of character and the spiritual.
Unfortunately, many of us, no doubt tends to put the bulk of our time and energy only into that of the mind and body to the neglect and detriment of the heart. What seems to be at stake here, is not letter or scholarly degrees, but about our heart. The reality, is that character is what we have on the inside, and indeed, of who we really are.
Therefore, our character matter a great deal and it demands that we explore our inner selves to experience authentic and successful living.
According to St. Augustine, God created without our our help but he will not save us without our disposition to be saved.

The purpose of this write up is to see how culture sometimes affect the level of productivity in an environment where people care about productivity,and indeed, where people are increasingly working across culture. In working across, l mean, where individual working together, come from variouse backgrounds with different cultures that differ from one another. And often times, we take no cognizant of the underlying difference that may exist, which though, unintentionally is not without a baggage of some sort of sabotag in the system, it is meet to protect, for whatever reason. It must be observed, that often, aware of it or not, we are griped with the assumption that working in the same environment and speaking the same language, means we have the same goal and objective. It must be observed, however, be that as it may, and make no mistake about this , that the part to getting to such end often take many Hazardous
wist and turns.
There are some effective method, not only may tends to increase productivity level but may also come to enhance some level of communication skills across culture, as it come minimanze any likely misunderstanding at any given time. Here are some of the key issues that must follow up.
1. In any Verbal and Nonverbal language, clarifications must always be sort, because often, what one may think, and honest way to bring up an issue may turn out to be a misconception, due to the direct approach, that could create distrust, as it come to strain any future interactions in the process.
It must be observed, however, that one must not assume to understand gestures,this because, what may come to be acceptable in one culture, may turn out to be insult in another culture. Therefore, the need to strive to adapt the use of verbal expression to explicate the non- verbal gestures in use.
2. The Avoidance of taking others mistake, as a personal one, because, in any project execution, for instance, we must not forget, every culture has, to some extent, its method of applications. Therefore, what one may come to perceive as a grave error, due to style or method of Applications, may not be, but an act of cultural method of understanding. Hence, the need, to always be prepared for an explanation to understand the reason behind every single gestures, as to learn from other culture.
3.The acceptance, that we do not understand, what we do not know. This is because, we are often with what l may call the makeshift believe that we are competent and highly skillful in all areas of the work we do. But contrary to this assertion, there always remain an incognito, which is the unknown part,in both the practical knowledge of understanding and the differences in meaning due to cultural diversity. It will be observed, that in any behavior, this may appear appropriate, though, time may be required to diagnose any such action instead of hasty assumption based on personal own cultural filter or outlook.
4 The need for increase awareness, together with personal experience, that we carry with us a cultural baggage, that prescribe our behavior, value and how we come to perceive and the world around us. The same is true, this cultural baggage, is often what come to allow use to categorize people and situations, put in context. Therefore, the more we are aware of what one may call this individual biases, the easier, it may assist in the acceptance in the understanding of our differences, that unite.
And this may ultimately, help to breakup what l may called, the stereotype, and if you like, the false and negative generalizations about people and theirs culture.

THE SCHOOL OF HUMANITY:-
‎A Founding Text on Power, Personhood, and Political Meaning

‎PREAMBLE:-

‎Every civilization is governed by an idea of the human being.
‎When that idea is weak, power becomes cruel.
‎When that idea is absent, power becomes meaningless.
‎The crisis of Nigeria for instance, —and of many post-colonial societies—is not first economic, ethnic, or political.
It is what l come to call -anthropological.
‎We have not agreed on what the human person is worth, whether is just animal with instinct or animal with both instincts and reason, is human being.
‎and therefore we have not agreed on what power is all about in itself.
‎The School of Humanity arises to correct this failure, and if you like this misconceptions;-
‎
‎I. FIRST PRINCIPLE: THE HUMAN PERSON
‎The human person is the irreducible moral unit of a society and Not tribe, Not region, Not party and indeed Not state.
‎
‎Every system—political, economic, cultural— and what have you, is justified only insofar as it enlarges human dignity and possibility to improve and progress.Therefore, any power that degrades the person, even in the name of stability or unity, is illegitimate.
‎
‎II. THE ERROR OF NIGERIAN POWER.
‎Nigeria’s dominant political logic treats power as:-
‎Possession rather than Responsibility access rather than obligation
‎Survival rather than service
This logic no doubt, produces:
‎Fear-based politics
‎Extractive leadership
‎Fragile institutions with Short moral time and indeed, Power, stripped of moral purpose, as it turns inward and consumes rather than creates.
‎
Make no mistake that , this is not a failure of character alone, but a failure of philosophy. From , this l will argue , that we must institute the teaching of philosophy,right , from the secondary school.
‎
‎III. POWER HAS A TELOS:-
‎A purpose driven, which is central to Aristotelian philosophy, as it refers to the inherent purpose or ultimate goal of something.

‎Therefore, Power is not self-justifying and
‎Power exists for a purpose beyond itself, hence. —its telos. The same is true in this perspective that the telos of power is:
‎> The protection, development, and flourishing of the human person through just and enduring institutions, of the like of Nigeria.
‎It is also true, that where power lacks a telos, it becomes mere force. Where force governs, fear replaces trust. Where fear rules, society stagnates.

I live in a world that often feels loud, unstable, and uncertain—a world where confusion competes with truth, where survival sometimes overshadows compassion, and where chaos threatens to harden the human heart. Yet, it is precisely in such an environment that my humanist convictions find their deepest meaning without fading.
Humanism, to me, is not an abstract concept of philosophy reserved for calm societies. It is a practical commitment to human dignity in the midst of disorder at any given time. When systems fail and institutions falter, what remains is the human person—thinking, feeling, hoping, and struggling and overcoming. I do believe that every individual, regardless of circumstance, carries an inherent worth that chaos cannot erase in our life time.
In a chaotic environment, fear easily becomes a guiding force, no matter how challenging. Although, people may retreat into tribalism, selfishness, or despair. Humanism challenges this instinct. It asks me to see the “other” not as a threat but as a fellow human being, navigating the same storm. It calls for empathy where suspicion dominates, and for reason where emotions are manipulated. But make no mistake,
I do not deny the reality of suffering. Poverty, injustice, violence, and moral confusion are not illusions; they are daily experiences. But humanism insists, however, that solutions must be rooted in human responsibility rather than blind fate. Progress begins when we accept that the future is shaped not by miracles alone, but by education, ethical leadership, and collective effort.
In chaos, as we find it today, truth is often distorted. A humanist approach demands critical thinking—the courage to question narratives, challenge dogma, and resist ignorance. Reason becomes an act of resistance. To think clearly in a confused society is already a moral achievement.
Most importantly, humanism restores agency. It reminds me that even when the environment is broken, I am not powerless. Small acts of kindness, honest dialogue, and moral consistency still matter. They may not immediately transform society, but they, no doubt, come to preserve our humanity while we work toward change.
In the end, my humanist view is simple, which is that, chaos does not absolve us of our responsibility, rather, it deepens it. When the world is unstable, choosing compassion, reason, and dignity is not naïve—it is but a revolutionary. Humanism is my way of affirming that even in disorder as we find it today, humanity can still choose to find a space to be humane.

The Nigeria Humanism, the way l come to view it , for the sake of the collective well-being.
Fellow Nigerians,
I stand before you today to speak on Nigerian Humanism—a philosophy deeply rooted in our history, culture, and collective conscience as a people.
Humanism, at its core, is the belief in the worth, dignity, and potential of the human person. It emphasizes reason, compassion, justice, and responsibility, without denying spirituality, culture, or community. Nigerian Humanism is not an imported idea; it is an African philosophy lived long before it was named.
In traditional Nigerian societies, the individual did not exist in isolation. Among the Yoruba, we say “Eniyan ni aso mi”—human beings are my clothing. Among the Igbo, “Onye aghana nwanne ya”—let no one abandon their brother. Among the Hausa, “Mutum mutunci”—a person is dignity. These expressions reveal a worldview where human life is sacred, communal, and meaningful.
Nigerian Humanism teaches us that:
A person is valued not by wealth or power, but by character and conduct.
Leadership is a moral responsibility, not an opportunity for exploitation.
Society thrives when justice, fairness, and empathy guide our actions.
At its best, Nigerian Humanism rejects oppression, corruption, tribal hatred, religious extremism, and social exclusion. It reminds us that no ethnic group, religion, or class is superior, and that Nigeria’s strength lies in her diversity united by shared humanity.
In a time when our nation faces insecurity, poverty, political tension, and loss of trust, Nigerian Humanism calls us back to first principles:
To place people above profit.
To measure progress not only by infrastructure, but by human well-being.
To educate not just the mind, but also the moral conscience.
Nigerian Humanism does not oppose religion; rather, it challenges all belief systems to uphold human dignity. It does not deny tradition; it refines it to serve justice and inclusion. It does not reject modernity; it insists that development must have a human face.
The future of Nigeria depends not only on policies and constitutions, but on the values we choose to live by. If we embrace Nigerian Humanism—compassion in governance, integrity in leadership, respect in diversity, and responsibility in citizenship—we can build a nation that works for all.
Let us therefore recommit ourselves to a Nigeria where:
Every child matters,
Every voice counts,
Every life is valued.
That is the promise of Nigerian Humanism.
That is the Nigeria we must build , never too late.
Thank you, and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

According to (Romans 12:2) ,it said do not confirmed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Therefore, it speaks of a transformative impact of mindset that shift for our personal growth. The renewed mindset that leads to a fresh perspective and innovative solution in any environment it find itself. With a disposition to assist and to navigate any challenge and uncertainties. It is a renew thinking that inspire and empower any team to achieve it's aim and objectives at any given time.
The silent power of renewed mind, tends to be disposed to achieve a fresh perspective and innovative solutions. The perspective of self- awareness, of emotional intelligence and indeed, of that of resilience in any given situation.
Therefore, the silent power of any renewed mind, is not without the result of disappearance of any kind of fear. When there is this disappearance of fear, there is the rise of faith, as boldness becomes it's companion to walk side by side with realities. And there emanate, in the process the inspiration and empowerment of others through the transformations of thought and actions that aligned with values and purpose, such purpose of a new done and clarity.

It must be clear the Traore is not alone on this, in what looks like a test on the Nigerian diplomacy. This is indirectly reminding those internal conspirators that it is time to do away with their political differences and face up to the Nigerian reality.

When we say we have Experience of something, we are simply saying we have -intelligible experience of an Object. The same is true, according to Kant, the Germans 18th century philosopher, that for anything to count as an experience, we must be able to identify what is that object or something that actually was responsible for that experience. The experience must have to do with the interaction between our mind and the object in question. The same is true that the object we see must be able to make our understanding of the world seems sensible and indeed, acceptable for what it is objectively. For instance, one cannot doubt, that there is a link between the object we see, for instance, of the like of onion (the onion) and the idea, we have of it in our mind- (the idea of onion). It must be observed that, how we gain the idea of onion, no doubt, may be more
complicated than just seeing it. According to Kant, in order to see the letters, we need to have some level of the very concept of Unity and meaning. Such that,- in the concept, one thing can be separated from another, before we can then identify what the thing really is. In this perspective, we have experience of things when we can interpret it with our mind. The same is true that the very act of having a sense of impression and experience is an act of interpretation. This also come to suggest that there is no such thing as (fixed)- world or environment we all come to experience, on the contrary, the world as we experience it necessarily come to involve an act of interpretation.

When we say we have Experience of something, we are simply saying we have -intelligible experience of Object. The same true, according to Kant, the German, 18th century philosopher, the for anything to count as an experience, we must be able to to identify what is that object or something that actually was responsible for that experience.

When we speak about the word or concept of incompatibility, we means two ideas or actions, that are incompatible. Therefore, that they are not acceptable or possibly to be together due to some basic differences that cannot be managed. But compatibility means, two ideas or actions that neither is impossible to be together due to non- existence of any basic differences. The concept of incompatible and compactible exist everywhere in our daily life.
We can find this in the like of among individuals, places, environment, and indeed, in activities that does not align with who we really are inside out. But more often, than not we intentionally or consciously make up our mind to confirm to the reality as we see it. We often do this consciously or unconsciously without the passion or interest, necessary to galvanized and motivate us along the way. But make no mistake that, often the human mind is incapable of seeing things in a completely honest, and straight forward manner.

The reason often stern from the fact that we hide things from ourselves due to Mr. Denial and it's companion Mr. Blame. Always on the standby, who are often the very cause of our lack of self- awareness. They remain, the ever present forces that tends to thwarts our ability to dissect and see ourselves of who we really are in an evolving realities. It must be observed that the very essence of denial is that you ignore the obvious simply because you do not want to confront it.

There is this freedom of choice that often times land us into a wrong decision taking of which a lot of factors come into Play. These factors are diverse of which the most common is the concept of conformity, in contrast to incompatibility. The reality is that, when our external reality is not in sync with our inner self, the result is resistance with the very feeling to escape or to jump the fence, in avoidance of the circumstances, instead of confrontation.
The sticking point here, is the choice to do away with anything incompatible with our nature. And the same is true, that as we fill ourselves with discrepancies, we must strive to tolerate for the sake of moving on, but note that tolerance is not acceptance.

In the current dispensation, a lot of things have tends to have gone wrong.The reason for this, no doubt, seems self evidence and if you like, l a distraction in itself because of what l may call the " misunderstanding of the basic or primary truth of our time.
And what are these primary truths, we are actually talking about here. We are told, there are three of such primary or basic truths which are in the investigation of of our knowledge and truth, of which are, in the first place (1) the fact of our existence, then secondly (2) the principle of non-contradiction, and thirdly (3) the mind to know the truth.
The same is true, that these basic concepts as it were, we are told
are inherent and indeed, such that cannot be validated with positive proof simply because of their a prior nature. And this means what come first, not through our experience, but as the first fruit of being a human being.
Therefore, the fact of our existence demands that , we are aware of what is right to do and what is wrong not to do.
In the principle of non contradiction, we are told that what is good or right and what is wrong cannot simultaneously take place at the same time. On the other hand our mind is always there to recognize the truth when it sees it.
We must make no mistakes the we saddle with responsibility to pay attention to this basic or fondamental attribute of man, without which it is without its consequences.
It must be observed that the truth can be attributed to judgement we often come to expressed through our preposition that observed the lack of any agreement between two or more of our ideas.
It must be observed that when attention is given to this basic attribute of man, some level of mistakes can be avoided individually and collectively.

The development of science and technology cannot actually free humanity from the obligation to ask the ultimate existential questions. And it spur us to face the most painful and sometimes, decisive struggles of those of the heart and the question of moral conscience. The contemporary man tends to have the greater need for the inner-self as well as out-self in order to know God and himself.

It is true that with such knowledge, we can nurture the sense of dignity and respect not only for ourselves but also for our environment. It is through this knowledge we can also know the true meaning of the value of life and work in tandem with the sense of true freedom, justices and peace. One of the Christian truths, is not about ideology but in the recognition that without any iota of doubt, is the changing of the social and political reality in favor of man that cannot be confined to any rigid structure.

Therefore, is the calls for a deep reflection of the very need for a constant re-affirmation of the transcendental that encompass the dignity of the human person. In the evolutionary salvific journey of man, there has been numerous example of the advocate of a genuine emancipation of humanity. The emancipation that inspire, not a passive acceptance, but in the authentic and firm resolve to work effectively in the way of truth in order to free man once and for all from any form of oppressive and violence forces that is raging so assiduously and the shackle of poverty of our time.

Through such resolve, we can return humanity to his dignified platform of existence, through which he exercises his full right in the scheme of things. Although, there is the gospel prosperity talks of material abundance as a sign of divine favor of which, what they seems to be silent about is the very purpose of this material abundance in the life of man.

Because, at this point, it has becomes a moral issue in particular, when there are bunch of haggard and hungry folks of the like Lazarus hanging around us. Of course, it must be said, that this has become a moral deficiency the contemporary setting of which majority are deprived in the mix of plenty. The same is true that it is all about the issue of self-contentedness and distraction from the very issue of heart and value of which the existence of man is accountable.

But there must be a shift of value system that asks for a balance and moderation without drifting either extreme in the quest to positively regulate our perspective of the current system. It must be the shift of value to balance our material well-being and the spiritual well-being and the self and others without recourse to the extreme as the current extremist nature of things seems to depict.

It must be observed, however, that in the 18th century, there arose a movement of the intellectual thought in Europe. And their sole aim was a rejection of the external authority as they enthrone what come to be regarded as personal subjective judgment. Although, they were known to be called enlightenment and was celebrated in their intellectual individualism. Their main objective was also to seek to banish any idea of living by repository of wisdom beyond one’s own intellect.

This post-Christian era also known as the age of reason or secular culture, was with the view that any rational being must be able to work out the truth about life for themselves, which seems to rain supreme at the time. However, it was not without an element of misconception, and if you like, a misplaced concept, because it take for granted all matter of basic belief, i.e. the strong feeling that exist or is true in every individuals. The outcome of this was an outlook that appears to control the opinion makers and information disseminators of the time. The consequences of this were a sort of anti-Christian, a type of mindset that seems to move against the very value and dignity of man, peace and justices, and indeed, the interest of the collective wellbeing.

The reality is that, for any given society to truly have a human face and take its rightful place in the scheme of things and look to the future with confidence, it is necessary and imperative for an orientation of man from within, which implies healing of wounds and achieving a genuine purification of the heart. Such heart contaminated by negative past memories of mutual misunderstanding and forgiveness.

The same is true that there is no darkness of error that can totally act as a replacement of man in the scheme of things in the light of his creator. In the depth of man’s heart remain the yearning for the absolute truth and a thirst to attain the full knowledge and understanding of his creator. But the reality is that he must be disposed to the grandeur and the sublime thought of the Divine mind to fill him with the inspiration and comprehension of his real place in the scheme of things. Of cause, which also, implies a genuine relationship and love with our fellow being.

But unfortunately, this genuine relationship and love remain in the radar of the greatest deceptions in the contemporary setting. A sort of an illusion that one get everything one wants, if you like, happiness without God. The same is true, that it is also an illusion that we can find authentic freedom by excluding moral truth and personal responsibility. But responsibility is not always a choice we make, rather, it is an inevitable act that happens before we ever consider any such possibility. In the past decade we must have witness an ever increasing emphasis on the need to develop a new ways of doing thing, if you like, in what may be termed a leaning culture. Which could be the only way to sustain a competitive advantage over the long term, in an increasing complex and turbulent environment the contemporary setting have no an immediate answer. The learning culture is characterized by a continues learning from experience and history, and indeed, by learning to learn. The basic assumption on the belief of a learning culture can be described along two dimensions which are that of flexibility with regard to external environment and commitment. And the flexibility with regard to environment, often act as a facilitator and ease, in uncertain situation where there are tolerance of ambiguity and functional orientation. But as regard to commitment, it has to do with the sharing of responsibilities and information in support with a sense of participation toward a change of mindset.

The shared basic assumption in the contrast of flexibility with regard to external environment is but the rigidity in the status quo. While the basic assumption that contrast commitment is but a parochial orientation. But the integration of these concepts did allow for the development of a model of preparedness for a genuine transformation. The learning culture is a model that reflects the basic assumption of flexibility and commitment with a disposition and wiliness to decisively deal with any form of transformation without procrastination.

But the level in the ability to avoid any procrastination is reflected in a versatility to effectively cope with any demand presented by the environment in question. However, the wiliness and disposition must be demonstrated in an integrated manner of any system with high level of commitment in the continues wellbeing for the interest of the collective. Any competitive culture can also have the basic assumption that reflect flexibility, although, not without a parochial and vested interest in orientation. Such culture, however, is able to deal with any transformation, irrespective of the complexity of which the disposition alone can always afford to weather the storm.

The willingness and disposition must be demonstrated in an integrated manner in any system as to function with high level of commitment in the collective wellbeing of the system. The ability to impact any transformation must be expressed in a well balance perspective with regard to the demand of the external environment. Because such wiliness often manifest in the ambivalent functionality of the system. The same is true that there is always the ambivalence about the benefit that any such transformation may bring about in the various invested groups.
