They were also influenced by Jacob Bohme and being pantheists they experienced the notion of divine ego in nature.If Descartes and Hume had drawn a sharp contrast between ego and extended reality and kant too left a sharp contrast between cognitive ' i ' and nature itself,the emergent Romanticists crusaded that nature is nothing than one big 'i'.They also popularised the expression"world spirit or world soul.Schelling(1775-1854)a leading Romantic philosopher craved to unite mind and matter and that all of nature physical reality and human soul is the expression of one absolute or world spirit.He concluded that nature is visible and spirit invisible nature.Refer bac

He became a don in Heidelberg,the Center of national Romanticism,but first became an asistant professor in Jena.It was in 1818 when he was appointed a Professor in Berlin when the city was spiritual center of the movement and Europe.Prior to his death in 1831 by cholera, Hegelianism had become a household name in almost all German Universities.Though he united almost every idea of the movement but he was sharply critical of them too.This including Schelling,like other Romanticists who enthused that life deepest meaning lay in world spirit..

PHILOSOPHERS' STONE.PART 122

Remember in our real part 122 we discussed dialectics.Here is a reminder that this process he called dialectical process.When the Eleatics had proposed a claim,Hegel regarded the standpoint a thesis and then the rise of contradictory thought to oppose that claim,he called it negation.Herarclitus for instance and he was the negation of eleatic philosophy.Now the tension between these contradictory thoughts with the emergence of empedocles who argued both were partly right and partly wrong.The standpoint of the Empedocles was what he called negation of the negation.Then he called the three stages of dialectical process mainly thesis,antithesis and synthesis.For instance,Descartes'rationalism was contradicted by Hume's empirical antithesis.

Plead the readers to go back to philosopher s stone to relieve this piece;that is art music and folk music.The former is controled by a composer such as Bach, Mozart and Beethoven.Whereas folk music not written by a particular group of persons.Given the lack of clarity of the origin and date of numerous folk melodies,or folk tales and art tales,the best norm of how to exploit them,as they knew it was to help refine the mordern times'art and reparkage their use,for cultural and economic development.The fairy tales genre was activated by the Romantics and we know E.T. A. Hoffman as popularised in his works,The Tales Of Hoffman was acknowledged as one of the German masters of this genre of absolute spirit.Another art tales was written by author Hans Christian Andersen and a host of other folklorists.Indeed fairy tale was the absolute literary trademark of the Romantics,the way theater was the absolute art form of expression of the baroque era.The artistry gave poet the audacity to play God in a fictional universe and a platform to fully e

The attainment of optimal economic growth and debt price equalitarian stability.This is pure socialist system where the lowest rung of the market percentiles top the wealth table chart of market economy in contrast to pure market neoliberalism or pure capitalist system and it simply means an increasing proportion of debt goods and services are provided by the lowest rung percentiles made possible through government support in addition to what pure capitalist system can provide.Hence the role of debt price system is critical in attainment of this basic task.We can then adjust our sovereign wealth distribution formula through SONACA and precisely should favour the poor population bracket and hence close the gap,banish inequality of wealth and mass poverty forever from the human society.Then fruits of mordern technological and economic freedom would b

THE BLOGGER'S NEW DIRECTION.part 1

The hardship of blogging in Nigeria should not be compared with other climes or elsewhere around the world not in terms of quality of bloggers,posts,articles and the logistics or the environment to support good blogging that constitute major concerns here but the wherewithal, or survival rate or the passion that enhances the blogging spirit itself that is my bone of contention and which  is  grossly lacking.
Our country is not a fertile soil for the smash hit or apotheosis of good blogging.Imagine a population of over 200million people have been able to produce only one Linda Ekeji whose blog has been a force to reckon with beyond this shore.I doubt in the next six decades we shall be able to break that jinx.

My lamentation at this point in time like an elegy to the death of blogging passion was informed by my experience and hardship to churn out good content.On June 1 i posted 12 essays and on the second i desired to post 20 and lo i was out to charge where it was lost and i saw hell just because of the loss.I have faced challenges of malfunctioning system,bad phone,poorly connected Wifi etc.Every blogger is faced with that challenges especially when you are still building traffic base.

will keep at bay preventable diseases while cultivating basic hygiene standard,know right medical personel to patronise and not quacks.Enlightened women with adequate antenatal care during pregnancy will be well delivered of their babies.This will help leads in the long run to help reduce the nation's high infant and maternal mortality rates estimated to be second highest in the world.A lot of good provisions were made with the promulgation of universal basic education law of 1999.It guarantees all children free and compulsory education for the first 9 years of school age.This included 6yrs of primary schools and 3yrs of junior secondary school education.These are glaring opportunities provided by law that the northern oligarchy instead of taking advantage of them are bent on destroying the implementation of free and compulsory primary and junior secondary school program in the country.The Almajiri schools built by the erstwhile goodluck jonathan regime were neglected for many years under lock and keys .

He lamented and partly blamed the British for deliberately discouraged western education in the north.This i considered an inapropriate excuse considering huge chunk of federal allocation that flowed to the region since return of democracy.For instance,between 2007 to 2016 in a breakdown of allocation,states in the northwest,northeast and north central to be precise collected 3tr.;2.5tr.;and 2.2.tr.respectively.This means that out of over 10tr.naira allocated to 774 Local Governments during the period the northern states collected over 50%.Between 2005 to 2016 19 states,in the north collected 153billion for universal basic education compared 115b.for the 17 states in the south.With exception of Adamawa,Plateau,Kogi and Niger states that did not access funding in 2015and 2016 all northern states had accessed UBE Intervention fund.Northern nigeria inspite of the funding,still lagging behind and there are 10million Almajiris or beggars in the north begging for alms and food.The truth is with basic education,you

Whereas in the south less than 3% of children in the age bracket of 6 and 16 are not in school.They recorded 10%,8%,6% for Ebonyi,Oyo and Ogun states respectively.while for Abia it is 1% and 2% recorded for both Lagos and Enugu and same trend reverbrated on numeracy skills where it is higher in the south than the north according to NEDS report.There is no doubt that the highest illiteracy rate in the whole world is in the north.According to literacy index published in 2017 by National Bureau of Statistics,states in the North west,Northeast and North central have the lowest literacy rates in the country.Yobe,7.23% has the lowest;Zamfara,19.16%;katsina,10.36%;Sokoto,15.01%;Bauchi,19.26%;Kebbi,20.51% and Niger 22.88%.The report claim Taraba at 72%has the highest literacy rate in the north.In contrast to North,the highest literacy in the south and the country Imo state put at 96.43%. In the top 10 literacy rates in the country when compared to the north,the gap is frightening.Lagos state follows Imo state closely

from 142m to 67m.Whereas in the case of Nigeria it is retrogressive.The Nigerian minister of state for education Nyesom Wike during the period under review,in an appraisal of the country's performance in the Education For All goals,put adult literacy rate in the country at 56.9%.Millenium development goals monitoring statistics put the figure of Nigerian children between the age of 15 to 24yrs that cannot read and write at appalling 71.8%.When we compare the six geopolitical zones,where the odds are glaring the north fell behind.The Nigerian Educational Data survey 2010 presented in May by National Population Commission shows North east and North west respectively lagging behind with the highest illiteracy rate in the country.NEDS Report also shows 72%of Borno state children within age bracket of six and 16years out of school while the figure for Yobe state and Bauchi state were put at 58%and 52%respectively.Then in North west,Zamfara,Sokoto,Kebbi states put at 68%,66%,60%respectively for out of school kids.

LITERACY RATE IN NIGERIA.PART 1

Certainly Nigeria for close to sixty years of independence has not made significant progress in reducing her high rate of illiteracy.It is a common knowledge that majority of the 60m to 75million illiterates in the country are in the north and the challenge of halting high illiteracy prevalence in the north does not seem to constitute immediate priority of the northern cabal deliberately bent on holding the country perenially backward.Pathetically,still compounding the malaise with frightening dimension and dire implication or likely effect on poverty,health,life expectancy and other human development indicators.According to Punch Editorial(December 20,2011,pg.18)which juxtaposed Nigerian literacy scorecard with other countries and fellow entrants into E-9 group unveiled the appaling rate of her literacy backwardness.It noted that other countries made attempt to reduce their non literate population.China for instance,made startling improvement to her nonliteracy population cut by half between 2000-2010......

and provoke moral agitation and launching their golden resolve that their rights should be respected.This would not go down well with imperialists who intensify suppresion tactics,massacre and heighten deaththreats to their captives.The purpose of moral agitation is to wrestle for environmental freedom to avert imperialists from undermining their control.First,liberty of the will summons liberty of the mind upon the birth of an idea to initiate deliberate proceeding of intellectual freedom.The first tripod of the great charters is under mandate to strategically demand wisdom or ideological freedom as the only metalanguage recognised by the imperialists.There is no free pass nor free port for the slaves nor the subservient for the price of freedom must be paid.To the wise it is affordable and to a fool if wit is applied,it can equally be affordable.The freemasons fight for their people and when they effectively leverage this first tripod,to procure ideological freedom,then imperialists begins to pay attention.

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES.PART 65

The most influential gadget of development,a cardinal element of developmental enterprise and the keystone of development system for the entire stretch of mortal history is indubitably the school of imperialism.It strikes impudently the simple and the reckless and were it not for its scholarship and its selfincurred omnibus ideological freedom none of mankind would have been freed nor ever deemed possible to birth or rebirth human civilisation procured at the spectrum end of slavery terminated from this school.The insecurities of previous generation create buffer and security for successive generation freed from this hodgepodge.During the wilderness period,the interaction of various modes of freedom and every form and class of freedom politics or master slave politics must be experimented for freedom by all ramification to be procured.The imperialist politics of environmental terrorism opens the floodgate of erudition for slaves and by the law of nature of the great charters,is a legal precedence to arouse

in the great charters of liberty.The ethical system of great charters that guides freedom politics invariably begins by diplomacy and duplicity.This fired salvo however should be seen as a ploy to capture the environmental freedom of the unsuspecting prodigy.It hardly dwindles its intensity until the power broker has captured the intelligence,the hidden secrets of the insensitive.Heypresto the language of diplomacy and persuasion could be usurped by the instrument of terror and there is war,then conquest and once upon a time equal patner changed drastically to make one a slave and then another his master.It is of the blackest dye and the most complex form of slavery master politics popularly known as imperialism.In another context it is strictly diplomacy and deceit all through the trough which keeps one subservient to the other.The third form begins with war and ends with conquest and then the winner takes all.History recognises this tripod.Does the imperialism creates any better incentive to the slaves?

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES.PART 63

History provides empirical evidence and establish a legal precedent so to say a natural law that you consume one generation of freedom,a type or class of freedom being desired goal at a given period to procure the actual freedom at another period.But to be articulate to communicate substantial effect,it has to be nurtured in the wilderness period and the school of oppression.We extremely underestimate and underate the power of freedom until we have been freed.The imperialism of power brokers in due time tends to appreciate the optimal value of freedom.It begins by unconsciously provoking tardy liberty of the wills and liberty of the mind or psychological freedom.True forms of freedom,nature,mode and types are motivated and inspired obsessively by the school of imperialism.The critical responsibility of this school under influence of mothernature wisely deploying scientific time investment is to oppress and suppress the liberty of the environment and then restrict fundamental liberties as enshrined by history

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES.PART 62

Not to be frozen into obscurity of history and build commensurate capability to logically demand for freedom,we should be endeared to learning.We can build up stakes to consistently grow optimal learning being the size of what should be known and appropriate enough to open up passion and sharpen critical awareness and thence makes the positive leap.A giant leap of faith commences golden feet with killer information to traverse the downright impossible.The tension between positive leap and negative leap endows the presiding artist with the right choice to grow optimal learning and therefore supply the mental and physical energy including the environmental discreet preferences to fight for freedom one desires.It takes liberty of the wills for the liberty of the mind to be grown at appreciable mass to first and foremost demand for intellectual freedom.It is much maligned resource and dark age societies barely demand for it.This scarcest commodity often demystified holds the torch to defend all freedom types.

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES.PART 61

Our ultimate quest is human freedom to show the liberty of manliness and the manliness of manhood.It is the prestige of man and it does not make any sense if economic freedom is not mated with it.Man is glorified with this golden prestige when we are armed with the awareness that this axiom strictly matters.Not to be armed with it and still subconsciously passes the test makes an ordinary man an extraordinary man.It cannot be differentiated from a wise fellow who being mindful of this fact gets same result.The moral appeal of growing expertise and human technology influences the strategic demand of freedom in the most ideal direction.So,it can be argued that the search for true freedom is indeed a sectarian pursuit and not all mankind have the capacity to evenly demand for it.To majority it is an uphill task and barely few are not frozen on its everest struggle.It is not only those without wherewithal and the extremely gifted but most importantly fellows with decrepit strategy or total lack fall by way side.
