The Rise of AI and the Looming Crisis of Human Cognitive Extinction

Written by; Moses O. Igharo  In recent decades, artificial intelligence has evolved from a distant scientific dream to an integral part of everyday life. AI algorithms now drive everything from search engines and personal assistants to medical diagnostics and autonomous vehicles. This rapid rise brings unparalleled convenience and power but also ignites a profound existential question: Is humanity on the path toward cognitive extinction? The Risk of Cognitive Atrophy in the Age of AI The human brain, a marvel of evolution, thrives on challenge, problem-solving, creativity, and learning. Historically, our survival and progress depended on these very faculties. However, as AI increasingly takes over tasks once requiring significant human effort—calculations, data analysis, navigation, even decision-making—there is a real risk that our brains may begin to atrophy from disuse. Think of it like a muscle: if we stop exercising our critical thinking and problem-solving skills because mach...

STATEMENT ON THE COURT OF APPEAL JUDGMENT IN THE EDO GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION PETITION

  STATEMENT ON THE COURT OF APPEAL JUDGMENT IN THE EDO GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION PETITION 29th May, 2025 My good people of Edo State, Today, the Court of Appeal delivered its judgment on our petition challenging the declared outcome of the September 21st, 2024 Governorship election in Edo State. As with the judgment of the Tribunal, we have received this decision with deep disappointment, but also with unwavering resolve to continue our pursuit of justice. While we acknowledge the Court’s pronouncement, we believe that this judgment, like that of the Tribunal before it, failed to address the grave concerns we raised regarding widespread acts of non compliance with, and clear violations of the Electoral Act. These decisions appear, worryingly, to validate a dangerous pattern of electoral impunity that strikes at the very heart of our democracy and continues to erode public confidence in our electoral process. Our struggle has never been about personal ambition. It has always been about ...

The Christmas They Never Expected

The Christmas They Never Expected In the small, quiet village of Umuofia, the Eze family was known for their kind hearts despite their hardships. Chike and Amara, parents to three children—Ada, Ife, and little Nkem—worked tirelessly to make ends meet. Chike was a subsistence farmer, while Amara wove mats to sell at the village market. Their income barely provided for food and shelter, leaving no room for luxuries. As Christmas approached, the air was filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread and roasted meat from wealthier homes. The children in the village chatted excitedly about new clothes and gifts, but in the Eze household, the holiday was just another day to survive . One evening, while the family sat around a dim lantern eating a simple meal of yam and palm oil, Nkem, their youngest, asked innocently, "Mama, will Santa come to our house this year?" Amara's heart broke as she looked at her son. "Santa visits those who believe in love and kindness, my son...
