Sunday Sermon..

Ndigbo Ogini melu Uche anyi na Ndoro Ndoro by Mazi Odera POg JP.

The Political Thuggery which gave birth to Balkanization of Ancient Dynasty, an ancestral Pathway that held us as people before the advent of those British Hunters who came to Hunt for Slaves, Cheap Labour, virgin and effective gods, and to exploit the Mineral Deposits in our Soil. 

Sure they came bearing Greek Gift but wrapped with Salvation Foil, as we extend our hands to take it even though it was given at barrel of a Gun which they used on those that refused to accept the foreign teaching, that way it was a detterent to the stubborn ones..

 We took the gift of their foreign culture and religion and they took away our dignity, unity, culture and God's the Very Bad Bad ones which we reffered to as Egbu ara Obala (Blood suckers) .. 

Same god they called deity with twisted condemnation, was  same they bought with high volume of money. 

Taking them home, they placed them in research places with conditioned Air and environment, feed them blood from Blood Banks (against the blood we fed them here which is direct from the Living, we snuff life off people, but technically the Brutal invaders fed them same blood but with less casualties but with same result, and in exchange the deities gave them what they had which ordinarily we wouldn't have extracted or put to better use.. 

It was after they grabbed our gods that they invented What we know and call Computers, Digital world and innovative ideas.. 

So we kept their tradition which includes ways of worship.. We sacrifice to our gods and they taught us to sacrifice to Pastors.. 

They made us believe in their ways of wedding which includes Church wedding and make our own which is same like the Jews and in the days of Jesus, which is Traditional Marriage as he attended in Galilee, but out of our confusion, after we have wedded our way, they will make us to still feel guilty that we are not married until the white wedding, whereas they don't even have.. Dowry, Bia malu ani, iku aka na Uzo and Igbankwu, which we will observe and bond the two families in relationship, but their own includes.. 

Meet your Fiancee in the Club or street , take her home and next is Court Registry, they No longer Wed in the Church as we speak, yet we do all of our own and also do their to later.. 

But moving on even with the confusion hovering over our heads as we APE them to our detriment .. 

Do not ever buy into the Iliterate sales that MUNGO PARK discovered Niger or the River , that is lie from Pit of Hell... Niger, the River and people around has been in existence before they born that Thing called Mango and Park, so there is no way, a son will say he begat Son before his Father.. 

The truth was that River Niger  recovered the floating Mungo Mugu and for the Fact that he wants to impress the woman who held them to Bondage as Queen , instead for him to be grateful to the Land that rescued him, he turn around and say he discovered an existing place..before the advent of that Pink Skinned Man, people have been going to Onuicha to trade, that was how we named them...Ndi bi na Onuicha Mmiri (People living by the River Bank) which they corrupted as ONITSHA.. the Anglicanized name made no meaning both in English and Igbo, the real name is ONUICHA.. same. Way they Anglicanized ENU UGWU to ENUGU, OKA to Awka, Okuzu to Awkuzu, Ama Obia which also is known as Ama Ndi Obia to Amawbia instead of AMAOBIA.. Moving On.. 

Well as much as the Amalgamation was devious and authored by Satan himself, the deed written in Hottest part of Hell,signed by Principaities.. That was how they yoke three distant in all ramifications Tribes and say they have Amalgamation, it did not work then, won't work after and wasn't made to work even in next millennium. 

The Yoroba believe that nothing works without the say so of certain deities, and they have absolute trust on such Deities and it works for them. 

The Awusa believe that nothing works without the approval of one Emir, Alhaji or somebody who controls the faith of entire Village and town, it was fashioned that one person must hold the wealth of the people and offer them calculated welfare and they do his bidding without question and it works for them. They have controlled freedom, they can wander from Start point of the Nation to. End point, hewing woods, fetching water, doing menial duties, polishing shoes but all still goes back to one Boss and they are comfortable with the setting.. 

Ndigbo believe that a man must be able to make Garri in his house, also cook soup in his house without going to any man to beg for firewood and that has been the reason they travel unto hinderland where they face persecution and hatred, yet they prevailed because they do not want any man to decide how anyone thinks or behave, that makes them Republicans to the Core..and if has worked and working for them, making meaning to idiomatic rupples "Okwa MBA na asu na olu na olu" (Different strokes for different tribes). 

Today's Sermon is only addressed to Umuigbo, but if you are not An IGBO but wants to read, it is Eithier you have some relationship with us or you are favored... But moving forward... 

Back in the days before the invasion of the British who came to Colonize our Father's with Gun Powder they stole from China which caused the OPIUM WAR in Hong Kong when Chinese exiled them from Shanghai, Guangzhou especially from Shamian , and after the War, they signed MOU with China that they will stay only in Hong Kong for 100 years, the exchange was the Drugs for Gun Powder and previous Stones with anything the British can get from all the places they conquered and placed in bondage, places they called COMMON WEALTH OF THE QUEEN,, moving on, the 100 Years trade lease expired in 1997 and they left Hong Kong , albeit grudgingly. 

We had system of Monarchy that worked in Igbo land, a Dynasty.. But when they forced on us Warrant Thieves which we mistook for Warrant Chiefs, that started the Balkanization of  sacred stool. 

Today only a minority has existing monarchy and that kept the town sacred, but others has broken even the bonds and peace our ancestors enjoyed.. We have buried the age long saying "adiro azo Eze azo".. 

Taking me to the event at AGULERI, how an Igwe died and by Century aged tradition, the King Makers choose a replacement and Politics choose another. 

The Governor in Politics has the right to choose who he think will play for Him, that is what Politics is all About, but tradition is sacred that anybody called to such position should know that his generation may become the stew of the gods, if he venture into pissing off the gods.. 

Come With me, let me show us why Ndi Awusa are smarter and superior to us both Politically and Traditionally,... Read what happened in Kano where GOV Ganduje decided to teach EMIR of Kano, Sanusi lessons, a lesson he deserved anyway for trading Politically when he would've faced his throne, so he wandered into terrain that is mightier and pay back is measured and good.. 

He crafted the divisions of the Emirate and share same to others, meaning they will have additional 4 Emirs,  which had it been in Alaigbo, Aka Adi na egbu mmadu Maka onye ga abu Igwe, but read the following.. 4 people approached to be crowned the New Balkanizied Emirs all refused and not only refusing they quit the Government Jobs.. But not Igwe Ndi AGULERI who before the Governor finished proposing, the man has grabbed the Crown and shove same on his head.. 

. In quote and I provide.. 

"The four who pulled out are Aminu Daurawa who resigned as the director-general of Kano state Hisbah board, 

Abba Koki left as chairman of Kano State Pilgrims Board,

 Abubakar Kandahar and Nazifi Inuwa walked out from the office of permanent commissioner at Kano state Shariah Commission and permanent commissioner II at Zakkah and Hubsi commission." end of quote.. 

Which amongst Ndigbo will reject this kind of offer from the Government?.

AGULERI still maintain certain Monarchy and it sweetened the heart, but politically it has been reduced to ogini di ifea... Same thing played out in KANO and see how maturely they handled it. 

I now remember a scene from things Fall apart, where..

I will end this piece to the actors and projectors of the Nso Ani, I will. Quote the age long Things Fall apart.... 

"[Ezedu to Okonkwo) “That boy calls you father. Do not bear a hand in his death.” (7.15)

It is considered a crime to kill a member of your own family. Even though Okonkwo isn’t Ikemefuna’s father by blood, the boy thinks of Okonkwo as his father, so it might as well be the case as far as Ezedu is concerned."

POg is off to Church with Ekpere na Abu tucked under his armpit and with Akuilu I have been chewing since last night to clear my voice, so I can sing Abu..

Abu 258- I jekuru Jisus n'ih'ike nsacha.

Verse 1

I jekuru Jisus n'ih'ike nsacha?

Asawoi n'obara Nw'aturu?

I natukwasi obi n'amara-Ya?

Kọrọs:-

Asawo i . . .n'obara . . .

N'obara nke nasacha obi?

Uwe-gi di ọcha, ha nenwu ka nzu?

Asawo i n'obara Nw'aturu?.."
