KWENU! Our culture, our future

It is time to part

The year was 2001, when an article “The time has come” published on the www.kwenu.com website rang the bell of the necessity and importance of a separation from Gento-Nigerian, ignorance dictates. That was exactly forty-one years after the tie of the unceremonious marriage that saw the “unification” of three major nations whose rivalry and hatred continue to grow as the country grows. The same year, to the ignorance of many, was the year when the light was roving across Nigeria and the world as an entity, exposing and revealing the evil of men just as the case in the first millennium after creation, when the spirit of light opened the nakedness of Adam and Eve and the wickedness of Cain unto Abel.

Nigeria is now forty two years older. Did I hear you say hurray? Sorry, they say “a fool at forty is a fool forever.” This is more than forty years and the signs in the sky are not deciphered. The same article “The time has come” revealed how the U.S. dollar ($) rose and crossed the 100-naira (#) landmark and at a point was sold at #145-the situation has not changed. It was also revealed how food stuff witnessed its highest increment of 150%; yet the situation has not changed. This is one year after the article and one would have thought the matter would get better, yet it has only come to a state that is beyond repair except in the case of a supernatural intervention. Even Cameroon francs in now being sold at 0.190 as against 0.135 just a year ago, while the pounds sterling has only but make a mockery to our newly introduced “Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello” #200 note. Still on the socio-economic aspect, pump price of petroleum product rose from #22 to #26 in less than a year. Who knows, maybe we risk our “isi Zik” (#500 note) in the next ten years... going by the rate of inflation.

People no longer feed on the relatively poor #100 meal per day but has fallen to #50. This is not fiction or an exaggeration of reality; I will advice doubting Thomases to take a trip down Southeast of Nigeria and see for themselves, instead of stopping at a town which is serving as a coverage for Nigeria’s wretchedness and poverty --Abuja. Pay even a visit to the famous A. J. city in Lagos, which you so well know of and tell yourself the situation. People have been socially excluded from the Nigerian society thus forming the culture of poverty.

The socio-political terrain has turned to reflect a battlefield. I used to ask: “Est-ce que la politique es la gaie”? One may wonder: Would the incomer's will heal the wounds caused by the incumbent? Many have already indicated their interest for the presidential race, otherwise known as the race to “Aso Gold.” Hear their names; John Nwodo, Edwin Ume-Ezeoke, Dr. Chuba Okadigbo, Rochas Okorocha, Abubakar Rimi, Alhaji Shinkafi… If I should continue, the list will take most of the article. Nevertheless, one thing very noticeable as has always been the case is the majority of Igbo names. One is then poised to ask whether history will repeat itself or will the jinx of always presenting the highest number of candidate yet failing to grip the goal to "Aso Gold" be broken? Well, that is not really the point I am trying to make, but let us stop making caricature of our Igbo nation.

The intrepid and callous attitude adapted by some of these candidates is another serious problem in the entire process. How can one kidnap and ritually kill his fellow human being all in the name of winning an election, which in most cases -- if not all -- has always been ill-luck to the candidate... as in a case where a virgin girl was buried alive by a gubernatorial candidate in the heartland of Igbo nation, a race he did not win! Why shake your head in dismay? Instead, ask yourself: Why all these atrocities in my homeland? The most recent being a beggar with a hunch back, kidnapped in the broad daylight in Anambra State, thus ending the sad history of the poor destitute. There are many more incidents of kidnapping, but I can’t go into the full details in this article.

In the same article, The time has come, I stressed how the socio-cultural terrain remains the major instrument towards disuniting this country, stressing further how the Igbo race have always remained the scapegoat in the event of any ethnic or religious disturbances; and, I concluded that no Igbo president will emerge to rule under this Gento-Nigerian social structure and that unless the Igbo return to their culture, they will continue to be perpetual slaves under the Gentile rule via the Hausa and the Yoruba of this land. Thanks to time, we are at another election season. Let us keep our fingers crossed and see the hand of the Most Holy One of Israel in the affairs of this Nation.

We are now in the year 2002, the year of Peleg (separation). The period when the waters from the heavens were separated from that of the waters below. We saw how Noah was separated and was called out of the society in which he found himself in the second millennium from creation. Nigeria has thus concluded her first season of forty years of light and has entered her second season, which is the season of separation -- also in the second year of the season, which is a sum total of the final separation. Can someone tell me why the separation will not happen?

IT IS TIME TO PART!

I am not talking of a separation that will eventually see Nigeria in confetti; but, if it happens, who will not be happy if not the initiators of the modus operandum -- The Brits. I am talking of CULTURAL CONVERSION, the complete transformation from the present garment of western civilization or lifestyle to our preexisting lifestyle, and teaching our children the way of our forefathers, instead of embarking on mass sensitization towards educating our children on how to be kidnappers and ritual killers -- all in the name of becoming a president in a Nigeria that was baptized by a woman.

Who then are you? Did I hear you say an Igbo? Then know that you are from a different society that never saw or witnessed the abovementioned atrocities. You came from a society that was chosen and dedicated by the Most High unto Himself. The sea and the land are two different and parallel societies. We have our own culture which is the ONLY solution to our nemesis and predicaments, contrary to Christianity that has tagged it devilish.

The role of Christianity in the domination and destruction of our cultural heritage was ruthless. The role in the matter is so shameful that no matter how you look at it the picture is negative. Christianity came from the waters, and King Ansa of Ghana in the year 1482 in his response to the commander of the Portuguese expedition meant his words “…the waters and the sea being always neighbors are continually at variance and contending who will give way; the sea with great violence attempting to subdue the land and the land with equal obstinacy resolving to oppose the sea.” Was he not talking to one of the ten nations that brought down the Roman Empire that has today sprang to be seven nations that will stand to challenge the rising force of Joshua, as was the case in the first take over from Egypt to Canaan where Joshua was meet by seven nations?

Patterns cannot be broken; they must fulfill accordingly. Read about the ten horns of the Bible in the Book of Revelation and tell me whether tree horns were not broken i.e. the vandals, the ostrogoths, and the heruli. Leaving behind alemani (Germany), franks (France), Burgadians (Switzerland), the Suevi (Portugal of King Ansa’s speech), the Anglo-Saxons (Britain), the Visigoths (Spain), and the Lombards (Italy). Nevertheless, my joy is that Yahoshua Messiac is back or we would have been like Sodom and unto Gomorrah.

You are not from the sea like the seven nations that rose from the sea, but from the land that was caused to appear and which was given to your forefather Abraham for eternal possession. The divine rule of Odinani states that a child must inherit his father. The men from the waters have not had this rule and cannot have it because they are from a different society that mortgages; leasing is what you get. Abraham had it because he obeyed and came out from the waters. This is thus our day and time to shake off and get rid of the all the naïve attitudes we have towards ourselves, towards our culture; and words like civilization which is misused anyway. At least it is clear now that the true test of civilization is not the amount of people that make up the society nor the crops or infrastructure, as the case in Nigeria, but the kind of man that the society turns out or produces. We have also seen how contemporary civilization even though it has dragged out for a considerable period, at least Nigeria at 42, is growing less and less vital due to the moral degradation it is suffering from. Is it not still clear to us, Ndiigbo, that we have taken a wrong course?

How can we abandon our rich cultural heritage for an outlandish lifestyle that has only driven our forefathers far away from us? How can we prefer meaningless names to us like Stone, Bush, Agatha, Polycap, Sand, etc. to our beautiful and meaningful names like Chizota (God our savior), Chinedu (God is leading), Chukwudi (God is alive), Ngozi (Blessing)? How then do we expect our request to be granted by the Most High when all we say today is “Hi God” and “Hello Jesus” instead of Chukwuabiama, Chukwuokike, etc.? Why should we even believe that monogamy, which to me serves as coverage to promiscuity, is better than polygamy? Didn’t David our Ancestor marry 17 wives and yet sang praises with the angels, of whom you are reading today in your various Sunday gatherings? Or was Solomon not the wisest man mankind has ever witnessed, that married 1000 wives and yet did the most fundamental part of the sketch work of the Most High towards actualizing a permanent government here on earth?

Think twice, polygamy is ideal for it is the one and only provision for salvation to the Gentiles who are fighting it today; after all, Christ married seven wives in order to save the Gentiles--the Europeans.

Did I hear you say you are a civilized Igbo and cannot go the way of your forefathers? Sorry, for many years you have decided to “whitemanised”; then, how come you don’t now how to take the powers of the white man away from him? Oh! Sorry, they failed to teach you that white people never educate you in how to take their power away from them and that their school cannot give you the kind of education you need. You have to make it or take it, Mr. Civilized Igbo! Take it from me: By the time you get the kind of education you need, you will surely discover the green fields of your rich cultural heritage, and you will need not come down to improve it because that is where you belong but will have to start with your community and yourself and then you will begin to see and decipher revolutionary change. Summon courage today and throw away contemporary garments which have had their days and no longer fit the requirements of the new wind of MESSIANIC HEBREWISM INSTITUTION that is blowing.

IT IS TIME TO PART!

I sound this trumpet from Mount Zion where the hope and salvation of Israel and the multitudes lie in wait for you to run for your safety. Soon! There shall be no shelter even to you, a Jew by blood -- I quote authoritatively from the bosom of an unchallengeable authority. The spirit of the day is moving; the spirit of Peleg (separation), liberating and separating the sons of EL from the water that has so covered the earth to a place that they will no longer worship him in a foreign tongue for He shall wipe all the foreign languages in their tongue ( ). I am not asking you to believe me either, but I am merely preaching the truth and message of this generation as authorized by the Most High through His son Yahoshua Messiac to the remnant of Israel that must be saved (Jer. 23:3), for I know the authority on which I stand and proclaim these words.

I therefore come to a conclusion that it shall only come to pass that the Most Holy One of Israel does not exist if these words that you read do not come to pass.

LET THE LIBERATION CONTINUE.

SHALOM.
