It's matter of choice thundered EPETIKE the benovelent god from Umunnachi ,he was tensed and also charged ,the sweat coming out from his Albino body is salty and smells like expired egg.
Then UGO EBENAJA the god in charge of Dioka in Umudioka, thundered "this is why I don't attend meeting, everytime all this toy gods will be making noise ka Mkpi agbabero amu (uncircumcised Goat) ".
All this while I was busy watching WWE on my Tablet ,too busy to get involved in the altercation of the gods, after all our own problems in human world are more and greater, if they have our type of Leaders, they won't be fighting on trivial issues, but I was jerked back to reality and involvement when I saw the gods trying to use EKPENTA, UKWALA NTA,IBI,OTOLO,AJU,ALA ADIGHI NMA (Leprosy,Whooping cough, Elephantiasis of the scotrum, Stooling, Staggering and Calamity) to settle dispute, as they brought them all out ready to throw them around as Javelin or weapons of War, I knew that all the things will settle on physical and we will be at the receiving end, so I brought out my OJADIKE and chanted "obu mu ka ina abalu mba, obu mu ka ina efe aka na isi, agam emegi ula aga na anya, me gi ezi na adi nma na aka, agam ezi gi nke mjiri bulu dike "
That was what brought total order and silence of the gods, then I stood up with ANUNUEBE on my left hand and OFO NA OGU on my right, and I warned them with a silent but measured voice "if any of you cross me, I will send the god to the pillars of Hell and allow him to be chained to the bossom of that man who caused Kwashiokor (Satan refused to have him in Hell fire ,so they created another Hell for him which is thousand times worse than the place Satan lives).
Now OCHUDO the god from Idemmili South spoke to me "Pen of the gods, can you mediate on this issue, which is. ..we the gods think that burial on Earth, especially in Alaigbo is now a ceremony and we demand for extra appeasement the same way they appease the church, the Kinsmen meeting, Village meeting and Town meetings, we want some of the settlement or we take it by force ".
That was when I turned round to face EGBE BELU and I speak to the audience,,, I know that you all know that Dibia choba igbu Nwoke akaya di ocha, osi ya nye ya Ikpu (When Native Doctor wants to kill a man that is innocent, he will demand his Vagina as payment).
I told them that I have heard them but since fa chelu eche welu juam, agam eche eche welu zaghachi fa (They thought about it well enough before they pose the question, that they should give me time to think over it and respond).
When I left the meeting, I know that what we face now is not just the APC LEADERSHIP DISASTER, that we are about to meet a quandary "ira mbejiaku na Ikwu Udo ).
Now I come to us with such a great burden in my heart, maka tabugbo, if we want to stop a fleeting disaster that may do us untold and unheard off harm.
Now I ask us, why do we all behave like ceremonial Daft when it comes to mourning and internment of our lost ones?
Our parents will be living with abject and alarming poverty, we abandoned them in that old age, scorpion filled house in the village, the don't get to ride in air-conditioned car, the highest money you have given to both parents in one swoop is not more than twenty thousand naira.
When they are sick and needed medical attention, you refer them to herbal doctors and local medication , but if our own children ,wife or self is sick we advance to Hospital and get looked over by a qualified Doctor.
Hunger Will be wiring our parents and we will be too busy to notice, the last Bag of Rice you bought for them was because you traveled with your family and the left over is what you gave them.
Some don't even give them monthly stipend that will take care of those who took care of you as a child, youth and half adult .
When they are so sick, your character will be "mmadu enyekwonam nsogbu, after all they have lived their live, if they die, I will bury them ",truth to your wish, they will die a broken, poor and abandoned parents, then as OSEKA (Prodigal Child), you will pick the corpse, shove same in some Fridge like ICE fish then start building or renovating the house they died inside, which means they are not worthy to live in a clean or new house.
Then the OSEKA children who abandoned the parents while alive will start preparation for a Befitting Burial, the same people they did not offer a befitting life.
The parents who never tasted clean house or New house, who they never carried in Air-conditioned Car to avoid messing it up for them, the same parents they never give a BUNDLE OF 500 NAIRA NOTE talkless of 1,000 NAIRA NOTE and they will ask Ogini ka oji ego eme? .
Look at Thunder that will fire you as it is doing Press up at Owerri....
What is your business what they will do with the money?
Do they worry what you did with the money they gave you as a teen, Youth and while growing? Moving on and thinking...
Then the burial will become a competition of who spend highest, you start with making Sizes of TV commercials, Radio Jingles, then ASO EBI of many colors both for those who never met the dead person, both those who will ask the road to the burial will wear ASO EBI as what kwanu ?
Akwa UJU is strictly for the immediate family of the bereaved but now we have turned it to merchandise.
Then we have Canopies for class of invitees,,,,the money we waste for 2 days burial will pay school fees for 500 poor but brilliant children, and we boast later that we gave them a beffiting burial, but ask me what I think about it and I will tell you Rie Nshi Aboki, what you did was showing how mean and crude you are. If your parents did not enjoy your money, if you did not mark their birthday or do something that they will celebrate while alive, then when they die, just turn the money into Charitable deed, use it to set up a foundation in remembrance or pay school fees for the less privileged and they will be thankful that the late PA or MA brought them open doors.
We now make APAMS and other undertakers to use our death parents to learn how to throw Javelin, we allow those who never met them alive to carry them and throw them around, dance in celebration and also the corpse will be driven in Executive Car, such my old Man will call Itube nsi ugo (putting a crown on a pile of shit ).
People, the gods are angry, soon they will start the same madness the church is practicing when a member dies, instead to weep and help the family to bid the member farewell, the leaders will now brought out the FILE of Devil and kponye afia Na isi the children, they will ask you for clearance that will take half of the burial budget.. It makes me to wonder, did Christ ask us for clearance before he paid our price?
What then is the difference between ndi ama ALA and they Church?
If the Church will keep malice at death, tell me what difference they made in all the preachings ?
Is the church not suppose to contribute toward the burial of a member to show the person love and bid same farewell?
What benefit will a member get as a church member?
Your wedding they will scrape your head with fines and demands, then you will be paying tithes and offerings until death and even at that they will demand CLEARANCE from the Children, if you ask me, if the church can't bury the member just get any of this Brand new pastors of PAINT COSTING sorry Pentecostal and allow them bury the death and change your allegiance or membership or just pay them as PAY AS YOU BURY, then know that the church is just another KALO KALO.
We should stop this attitude of burial, let's show some respect to the death and let's bury with reservation.
Some sold things to bury the death and live after in abject poverty.
Sure when one dies they expect you to give a beffiting burial, but if those expecting such will not help financially, then cut your Coat according to your cloth and not size.
Having said the above, I am off but on as I move down to Nke Chioma to preach to her and play for her as well.
Mazi Odera POg is high spirit after taking a hot tea..
