Zuma's Statue -- Rochas Chapter 6 Vs 1-21 (the Graven Image) by Harmoneasy: 7:35am On Oct 25, 2017
It was actually posted on facebook, found it interesting and shared it here, read along with me and share your views about it..




1. And it came to pass that a certain
Governor from the East by the
name Rochas the son of Okorocha
who ruleth over the province of
Imo, sent a messenger to the
kingdom of the Southern country
of Africa.

2. And he said to the messenger, in
this manner shall ye speak to the
king, "long live the king! thou art
highly favoured in the the eyes of
my Governor, even among the
people of the province of Imo,
therefore come this day to meat in
my kingdom that though mayest
be honoured"

3. And the messenger did according
to the words of the Governor.

4. And it came to pass that the king
of the Southern country of Africa by
the name, Jacob the son of Zuma,
entered into the province of Imo,
even into the city of Oweri, the
dwelling place of the Governor.

5. And Rochas the son of Okorocha
made a great feast and prepared a
banquet before the son of Zuma
that night. And he called all the
noble men of the province to meat
in his Palace, even in the court of
the governor, they made merry.

6. The Governor hath also hired
men of craft that they made a giant
graven image of Jacob, the son of
Zuma. And the height of the image
thereof was ten cubit and two span
, and the weight thereof was
equals two thousand measure of
brass. And the garment thereof was
that of the noble men of the West.

7. And he placed the graven image
at the Centre of the city of Oweri.
And unto Zuma, the king of the
Southern country of Africa, was a
title given which was higher above
any other in the province of Imo.
Also, the Governor nameth a street
of the city after him. These was the
manner with which king Zuma was
honoured.

8. All these things happened on the
tenth month of the sixth year that
Rochas the son of Okorocha reigned
as Governor over the province of
Imo.

9. But it came to pass that when it
was told the people that the
Governor hath spent five hundred
and thirty million shekels of gold
and silver for the graven image of
Jacob, the son of zuma that they
were wroth with anger.

10. And it grieved the labourers of
the province and they took counsel
among one another and saith, but
how shall this thing be? Is Jacob
the son of Zuma also among the
righteous men?

11. Howbeit that the son of Zuma
was honoured in this manner in the
province of Imo? Is not he the
same king that dealeth
dishonorably in the manner that he
spent the gold and silver from the
treasury of his country? Is not he
that the magistrate put a charge
against for taking bribed?

12. Is not it under the reigns of this
king that his people persecute our
brethren who dwelleth in their
country and even put many to
death and rendered their
businesses desolate?

13. Howbeit the Governor treat us
with great disdain? For we
laboureth for over ninety days
without wages and he said unto us
"be thou of long suffering for there
is no gold and silver in the treasury
that I may pay thee thy wages".
And yet he spent millions of shekels
to honour the son of Zuma.

14. And the head of the labourers
declared according to this words
unto the people saying, "arise this
day and gird thy loins for we shall
march across the city of owerri,
even unto the gate of the Governor.

15. And they march across the city
and declared according to this
words unto the Governor, "thou
dealeth treacherously with us in
the manner thou sayeth 'there is no
gold and silver in the treasury that
I may pay thee thy wages'.
Wherefore thou honoureth the son
of Zuma with so much riches from
the treasury?

16. This thing shall ye do, oh
Governor: remove the graven
image of Jacob the son of Zuma
from the city that there might be
peace in the land".

17. And the Governor replied them
in this manner. "Harken unto my
voice oh ye inhabitants of the land.
I shall not be careful in the manner
with which I answereth thee on
this matter.

19. Go back to thy tents, for I, even
the son of Okorocha hath repenteth
not that I made a graven image of
Jacob the son of Zuma. For many
more of this statues shall ye see in
the city of Owerri in the days
ahead".

20. And the people lamented and
said "woe unto us! behold, the evil
spirit from devil hath entered into
the Governor. And yet many saith,
verily verily, the Governor is
afflicted with insanity.

21. But the Governor doeth not
according to the words of the
labourers, for unto this day, the
statue of Jacob the son of Zuma
remaineth in city of Owerri
