TESTIMONY !!!

Day Father Olumba Revealed Himself As Omnipresent To Biakpan People

Eyo Charles

Despite countless supernatural feats performed by Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, the Sole Spiritual Head of the Universe, as a child, in His native Biakpan, the people never believed Him. They rather saw Him as a strange child that was possessed by some forces. At different times during His growing up days He performed several wonders that saved the Biakpan people yet, at a particular occasion His life was sought!

It was as recent as 1954 when He was well grown up and had already settled in Calabar, running His textile business that something happened in Biakpan that forced the people to remember and agreed to send for Him to intervene. That incident made them to realise that their Son was supernatural and Omnipresent.

In order to resolve the crisis that plagued the community, the people had tried every other thing and persons to no avail.
The crisis was of monumental proportion. The youths and women were angry. They had accused the elders and leaders of the community of corruption. They said all the monies they had contributed for developmental purposes and welfare were misappropriated by the village elders and leaders. And so, the youths reacted and became violent, insisting that their leaders must come to table and make proper accounts else the violence would not stop.

The elders pleaded with the youths. But they would not listen. They set up committees after committees to broker peace. These yielded nothing. The insolence against elders and violence persisted. It got to a point where elders were afraid to move about. In order to avert a more chaotic situation where the village would be deserted, they came to an agreement that since they have Somebody who was known for supernatural feats, and whom many in the village respected and listened to, they should look for and invite Him to intervene. The youths also agreed that they would only listen to Olumba Olumba Obu who was not part of the wide scale corruption in the village.

They jointly raised a small party to travel to Calabar where He was resident to invite Him. The delegation met with Him, told him their mission and pleaded that the people believe in Him to resolve their crisis and bring peace.

Olumba told them that He was aware of the whole saga, and agreed that He would be in Biakpan for the meeting. A date was agreed. He asked them to warn the people that palm wine would not be allowed during the meeting; that the palm wine tappers and farmers must not go to farm that day.

Soon the party returned to Calabar to pick Him to follow them to Biakpan for the meeting. They had met Him in His shop, which situated in the Eton Street neighbourhood, close to the waters. They asked Him to be set since they must leave in time to be able to arrive Biakpan in time.

But He told them to leave, and begin the journey that He will be there with them. But the people persisted, saying the Biakpan people had insisted that they move with Him. He did not mind them. He kept arranging His wares in the shop, and instructing the boys that were His shop attendants. He kept encouraging the delegation to go that He would join them in Biakpan, but they persisted in their plea, saying they will not leave without Him. Now He did not mind them anymore but continued to chat with His shop attendants, and to arrange the shop.

When the delegation got tired and believed that Olumba will not make the trip after all as He had earlier agreed to, they were not happy. They left him and returned to Biakpan.

But unknown to them, Olumba, while He was yet speaking with them and arranging His shop, He had already arrived Biakpan!!!
As early as 5.30am on the agreed day of the meeting in Biakpan, the palm wine tappers and farmers who had rushed to their farms in order to finish up in time and return home to meet the meeting, saw Him on their way into their destinations.

They were very shocked to see Him at that time and place. He called them, asking why they had to violate the instruction that palm wine tappers must not bring wine that day to the meeting, and farmers must not go to farm but must assemble at the village square. He ordered them to return. They obeyed.
Even as they walked with Him on their way back to village centre, they could not meet up with His pace. The next they heard was that He was already arranging the arena for the meeting, having entered each of the homes of the elders and village leaders to wake them up!

They all came out for the meeting billed to start early that morning. After hearing from Olumba, each of the village leaders that had misapplied the community funds, mentioned how much they stole and promised to return same.

Thereafter, He spoke at length on need for them to forgive offenders, peace, unity and honesty. He prayed and bless them before bidding them farewell. That was the last time He physically visited Biakpan.

As He left them, that evening the Calabar delegation arrived to report that Olumba did not follow them after all for the meeting. They asked if the village could fix another date, and send another team to plead with Him to come.
But the whole village told them that Olumba was with them in flesh and blood; that He presided over the peace meeting and the conflict had been resolved.

The Calabar delegation said it can not be true; that having pleaded with Him and He was not yielding they had left Him in Calabar. They did not believe that the Man they had left in Calabar was in the village at about the time they were returning to Biakpan. But the people doubly confirmed that Olumba was with them, and had resolved the crisis amicably, and was back in Calabar!

Later when some members of the delegation returned to Calabar, they enquired from the shop assistants if the Father had travelled to Biakpan on the said date they said He did not but was with them throughout!!!

Who then is this Man
