Chapter Six
1. When Anoni did not cooperate with the popes and bishops, they took him back to Aferk in a ship, for they said, we shall not return you to Anghloz where we took you from.
2. And they returned Anoni to Yande, which was a city around the place where he was taken from. And some homos of the land saw Anoni by the rocks. And they went to call for his parents. Now while they were departing, Anoni knew that they shall come and have him by force.
3. For such thing did his parents to him in the first time of his existence in the world, when he was dwelling among the anakims. For his parents of those days came with whips and took him back home forcefully.
4. And Anoni said, I shall not let the event of the past coincide with the present event this particular time. Therefore he climbed a tree and remained there. And he saw his parents coming for him from far away.
5. For they came with objects of which they would tie him. For they thought that he was mad.
6. And when they came closer, they did not see him at the foot of the rock. And Anoni remained quietly upon the tree until they had left.
7. Now Anoni went to fetch the Bezui fruit which had pink liquid in its flesh. And Anoni squeezed the flesh of the Bezui upon a woolly plant. And he began to make impressions upon the rocks.
8. And Anoni wrote words around a great rock. And the things which he wrote became a mystery to the people of the land all through the days of Anoni. And many of them feared that some evil beings had come upon the earth to destroy it.
9. Now the things which Anoni wrote upon the rock are these: you rock, a time will come when you shall be broken into pieces. And you shall not remain forever upon this spot in Yande.
10. For useful you shall be upon the land of Yande, from Kiu to Bamada. For your energy shall be changed from one form to another. And they shall cure sicknesses with the stones which you shall produce.
11. And your stones shall become objects of meditation.
12. Now Anoni left the place and went towards the sea shore. And there he became totally fixed into other realities, but his body remained alive in the reality called earth. For his past friends who were with him on earth thousands of years back did call for him to join them in their spaces of realities.
13. And Kumi, one of those whom he spoke with said, why do you choose to have your mind in this reality while your body remain alive on earth? And you do not know how people look pitiably at you at the moment.
14. For they see you as mad already. Now go back into the earth reality, for the sake of your parents who have seen you and are crying everyday that you should be restored. Or you should come here to us permanently.
15. For the things you tell them whenever they ask you questions are like the words of a sleep-talker. But here, you speak intelligently with us because your mind is here and not there.
16. Therefore return to the earth with your mind, rather than leaving it here and leaving your body on earth to constitute a nuisance to the people on the earth reality.
17. And Anoni said, I shall do as you have said, but what shall we make to be like the cause for the cure of my madness to the homos of the world who are narrow-minded?
18. Then Akash said, let us play with the minds of the foreigners who believe that they can achieve all feat by praying to their god.
19. Now in those days, Grego the son of Mulla and Berch, the son of Tomas, two foreigners who believed in Zeusus Krista came forward. For the homo of the land had requested that they should cure Anoni.
20. And while they prayed and meditated deeply, Akash and Kumi made them to see the image of Anoni in a flash. And when they woke, they said, indeed our god have revealed to us that we should go ahead and cure Anoni.
21. And they came to Anoni and said, you demon tormenting this homo, come out of him in the name of Zeusus Krista. And Kumi and Akash waved to Anoni to tell him goodbye. And Anoni waved back at them after kissing them.
22. And the mind of Anoni returned into the physical world. And he saw his parents and said, father, mother, where was I? Where am I?
23. And his parents took him happily. And they accepted Krishtanite so well in Yande, because of the thing they thought Zeusus Krista had done for them.
24. And they accepted the foreigners more into their land.
25. Now when Anoni saw the bishops and priests praying again with all zealousness, he laughed privately and said, Kumi and Akash who answered your prayers are no more anywhere near the earth. Therefore it is only at the mercy of the consciousnesses and light waves to bring your requests to pass.
26. And Anoni said, Rastus of old did say that the prayer of one man can be answered coincidentally or intentionally by the actions of another man who does not even belong to the same ideology of god with the praying homo.
27. For human beings are connected to one another and they are the answers to the prayers of themselves, being the gods needed by one another.

Chapter Seven
1. Now Anoni began to say, I have come to the world to create homos. For GOD ALMIGHTY created me by his imagination, so shall I create many homos by my own imagination too. For the homos of the future are the creatures of the homos of the present.
2. Now I say, let there be a soul in Negre and let him be a great player at the games. Let him excel and do Negre great. For that which they cannot win shall be won in his days.
3. Let there arise a homo with six fingers on his right hand and on his left. And let him be very special in the matter of art. Let him do great things upon the land of Aferk.
4. Let there be a homo with a hunchback, but let him be full of the knowledge of science. And let him manifest in a very amazing way. For that which he has deficiency in shall be made an efficiency for him in the matter of the head.
5. Let there be a homo whose skin could be shed like that of a snake, but let her be so wise and intelligent in the matter of oratory. Let her be a good singer also. And let her songs move the world into tears of emotion.
6. Let there be a homo who sees numbers in his sleep often. And let him be naturally blessed with the interpretation of the numbers which he sees. Let there be those who knows how to arrange broken bones by the use of a bird and chants. For they shall break the bones of the bird and arrange them back. And they shall do so to the human whose bones are broken to arrange their bones back also.
7. Let there be a homo whose skin colour changes like that of a chameleon. But let him have supernormal intelligence. Let there be a homo who knows all the history of the Universe from the beginning to the end.
8. For as Otem knows this, so let the homo also know it too. And through this homo shall the regard of the mother of the earth be brought back again.
9. And let there be a homo whose bones could fix themselves back again when they are fractured. And let such become miracles upon the earth if by coincidence a priest was praying for such homo when the bones fixed themselves up again.
10. Let there be some homos whose hearts can pick up again within one to five minutes after stopping. And these shall be called miracles to the doctors and priests, peradventure the restart of the heartbeats happened in a temple or in a church.
11. Let there be some homos who cannot die in disasters or wars or in a building collapse or in the machines. And if such homos pass through deadly diseases, let them survive those diseases.
12. And so shall it be for them, whether they believe in a god or not; or whether they are religious or not.
13. And let some homos be made who achieve success very easily, either by praying for success or not.
14. Now when Anoni had spoken so many homos of the future to life, he went and lay still to imagine all his creations. And they existed within his head. And while he continued to visualise them, he lost consciousness and found himself with all the homos whom he had created.
15. For a great bang occurred and all the creations came to life. And Anoni said, God Almighty, the highest consciousness shall give you souls and you shall all exist on earth in the time-space called future, but I know that you already exist, even now, in your own reality.
16. Now many homos came to Anoni, saying, we want to create homos too. And Anoni said, imagine the kinds of homos you want to create and the highest consciousness shall give souls to them.
17. And the whole town began to say one thing and the other. And one said, let there be some homos who shall suffer because of the beliefs they practise. And let such homos only be free from their sufferings immediately they change their beliefs.
18. Let some homos be able to see words frequently. And let the words they see be the guide of their lives. Let many homos be able to access the content of their brains and the content of the brains of others.
19. And let them be able to tell what is in the minds of many individuals.
20. And some of them said, let there be some humans with humped backs like as of a tortoise and of a cattle.
21. Let some have little or no chest at all. Let some homos exist without any space for the eyes. And let some homos grow abnormal bones all over their bodies.
22. Now a homofal called Sumi said, I want the world to be filled up with homos who are very wise and intelligent. And all the great things which we cannot think about now should they think about and achieve, for the world should be fashioned like a paradise and not like a wilderness.
23. And Anoni said, you are wise and intelligent, O Sumi. For you have created a future world of goodness and it shall exist in the outer universe here.

I'm writing down the revelations I'm getting from Atum, the brother of Yahweh, Allah, Moloch, Mazda, etc.
The summary of it all is that human beings should wake up and USE THEIR BRAINS, Worship no god and DO GOOD TO HUMANITY. It has to be written down, that's why I'm writing it down. And whoever reads it shall cease the worship of any god and focus more on his own brain.

Aworawo
Chapter One
1. I set my eyes on the stars at the cool of the night.
2. I watched the arrangements of the stars up above. How about the pattern of arrangements of the cowries made upon the ancient leather bag of our ancestors?
3. At little age when I asked, it was said to me, watch the stars in the sky and compare with the pattern made on this bag by the cowries. If the patterns look exactly alike as the stars of the sky, then know that the birth of Otem is near.
4. For it is not only in Aferk this is known, but in all the places in the world. For the purpose of Otem coming to the world is to make it more natural within the natural world. And to make it supernatural within the supernatural world.
5. For the natural matters do not have influence over the supernatural things, neither can the supernatural element harm the natural beings. But they can meet one another to share ideas and gain experience from one another.
6. All these shall Otem come to proclaim. And he shall help the naturality of those who believe only in the natural things. And the spirituality of the spiritual shall he also make solid.
7. And the voices of thousands of voiceless souls shall be brought alive. And they who died for declaring the truth shall have their voices brought back again. All all they whose scrolls have been destroyed shall have their scrolls revealed again.
8. And the whole world shall experience evolution of the mind. For the cry of the world shall change from saying it is end time to saying it is mind evolution.
9. And the evil philosophies of fire after death shall become a thing to joke about. And the gullible people shall reject sheepishness and gullibility which the writers of religions have brought upon their minds.
10. And the ministries of the cheaters shall become depopulated. And the homos of the world shall know themselves to be a part of God rather than the forgotten creatures of God. And billions of souls shall make meditation a daily affair, rather than shouting and crying to the gods of religion for help.
11.Do we call all these petty things inventions? I say no, for they are a shadow of what is to come. And the homos of Aferk shall join in the process of Earth development. For they shall meditate and see great things.
12. And with the things they see shall they make inventions. And all races shall be involved in the matter of inventions and discoveries. For the brains of every race on earth are on the same plane of intelligence at birth, but the difference came about when some races use their own far lesser than the others.

Chapter Two
1. In the fifteenth year after many parts of the lands of Aferk was colonised, I Mona saw the visions of the past. And I saw the beginning of the land of Kougi and how the homos in it went apart and joined themselves to other lands.
2. And to Bini and Oyo and Edeosun and to Ileifesi and to all the land of Oduduwa did the homos of Kougi my land go.
3. And my lineage and genealogy was shown to me in a second. And I knew my position upon the earth. And I traced back my origin from the genealogy. And it fell back to Ojo, who was the brother of Ohomorihi. And Ojo left the land of his origin to other lands around. And he dwelt around the lands of Oduduwa.
4. And the intonation of the language of the people of Ojo began to sound like the intonation of the children of Oduduwa. And Eneojo the son of Ojo became a great homo in Bini.
5. Now Eneojo had four children: and the names of his children were Enyo, for they said that he was a blessing to them. And the second was Ojamalia; and the name of the third child was Eneojo, for they said that she was a gift. And the name of the last was Acheneje, which was a cheater. For when he was still in the womb, they consulted the Oracle, saying, what gender shall be our child?
6. And the priest said, it is a girl. And when Acheneje came as a boy, the father said, why have you cheated nature to come as a boy? And they named him Acheneje.
7. And Acheneje left the land of Bini and came to Edeosun. And the homo of Edeosun took care of him and his wife and his children.
8. And they called him Igala, which by interpretation in the language of the people of Oduduwa was an animal who loves to travel from one place to another. For the children of Igala had also come to Edeosun before. And they had departed not long before.
9. And Acheneje loved the land of Ileifesi. And he visited the place often. Now Acheneje gave birth to Ajifa and other children when he was in Edeosun.
10. And the first son of Ajifa was Atta. And Atta gave birth to Uneku. And the genealogy continued until the days of I, Mona.
11. And in my days, I saw a vision, saying, return to your land O Mona. For many of your blood and the blood of your fathers have returned to their lands of origin. And the name of that place is Kougi.
12. And they are living together in peace and harmony. Now it is your turn to return also to the land of your forefathers. And you shall be welcomed well and given lands to farm.
13. And I gathered all the homos of Igala together, both young and old. And they were more than three thousand in number.
14. And the people of Edeosun and Ileifesi did not want us to leave their land. For they said, we have not done any hurt to you. Stay with us and do not depart. But I Mona said, we shall go to be with our people.
15. And when we had journeyed from Edeosun to Ofa and to Ijeba, we saw some homos like us also. And they spoke our language. And they followed us.
16. And we were more than five thousand in number, who journeyed to the centre of Negre. And we got to our destination after sixty days.
17. And our people received us well. And a feast was made for our reunion. And everyone ate and drank. And we ate elegede and isapa. And we drank emu and our hearts were glad because of the reunion with our people.
18. Now after we have come together, we knew that we had acquired different tongues and languages from the other lands where we had gone to stay. And some homos who were of the origin of Oduduwa even came with us to Kougi and we allowed them to stay with us.
19. For when some of us also went to their lands, they accepted us wholeheartedly.
20. Now, not very long after our reunion, the foreigners came and overtook our land by force. And they overcame us.

Chapter Three
1. Now when it was the setting of the sun at a certain time, I saw in my trance, a revelation. And it was revealed to me the revelation of the genealogy of Otem. And a voice said to me, write down the genealogy and go to the land of Ebir your brother.
2. And find one named Agidi, for he was the favourite of the people. And he loved them so much. And through him shall Otem come forth. For he shall make him known in all the land.
3. And take also the bag which had the pattern of the cowries with you. For every night, they shall check the sky over their heads and compare the pattern of the cowries with the pattern of the stars in the sky.
4. And in whichever day the patterns coincides with the pattern of the stars in the sky, a celebration should be made all over the land of Kougi. For it shall be a sign of the coming of the god of truth.
5. For through his coming shall billions of souls be saved from the bondage of religion. And through him shall the noise of end time be suppressed for the true use of the head to think. And those who fear their aged parents, calling them witches shall know the truth and love their parents when they are of age.
6. Now when I woke up, I went, a day journey to Okerune to find Agidi. And when I saw him, I bowed my head to him. And he said, you are of more age than myself, why should you bow your head before me?
7. And I said, no matter how old the hand of a human is, shall he not pay respect to the white beards by stroking it gently?
8. For the hands of a homo is older than his beards, yet the beards deserved to be treated with respect by the hands.
9. Therefore great Agidi, let it be so, for you are greater than me in both stature and achievement and in the matter of respect. But only in age am I greater than you.
10. Now Agidi said, may you be blessed by our ancestors. Now take a seat and sit down. For I shall fetch you palm wine, but take this handful of gorigo first and chew them to show that you are satisfied with me.
11. And I thanked Agidi as I ate the little grains. And the servant of Agidi came with a big gourd full of palm wine and an empty calabash. And I drank to my satisfaction.
12. And Agidi said, now have I sent all my servants away. Tell me even now the reason why you left your land and came to see me.
13. And I said, I saw in a vision the coming of a saviour of the world from fear. For he shall come to present the world and the whole universe as a place of love and fearlessness, rather than a place of spiritual battle and god-worshipping.
14. And to the natural people shall he make the world more natural. And fear shall be destroyed in the minds of the people at his coming. And the worship of foreign gods shall be made into a joke.
15. And he shall declare many great words of wisdom to cast shadow of the words spoken by the gods of these colonizers.
16. And from his time forward shall many homos in Aferk lose their religions and embrace naturality or spirituality without religion.
17. And the gullible sheep and goats shall be awakened and changed. And they shall become thinkers, according to the will of the highest consciousness whom we call God Almighty.
18. Now Agidi said, when shall Otem come and what is the precursor to his coming? And I said, take and keep this leather and compare the pattern of the stars with the pattern of the cowries on this skin.
19. And in the day when the pattern of the stars of the sky shall appear like this, know that the day of Otem has come.
20. For Adinoi shall his birth name be. And he shall do great things. For unlike all the gods before him, he shall neither go to Egypt to learn wisdom nor to Roma to read the ancient scrolls.
21. But his wisdom shall be greater than the wisdom of both Zeusus of the Krishtens and Murhamid of the Ishlamites together. And they shall be astounded at his wisdom in all manner of art and psychology, who went not to any school to learn them.
22. And the parables of Otem shall be many and uncountable. And no book shall be able to house all his proverbs. And the fear of death shall be erased in the minds of many. For the bringers of the messages of hell fire shall be seen as liars, even as they are.
23. Now O Agidi, take this leather and keep it. And gaze at the stars every night to see if the day of Otem is around. And at your old age if the stars have not appeared, you shall give the leather to another homo, who is your firstborn.
24. And such homo shall check for the appearance of the star of Otem also. For this cowry at the center is the star of Otem. For as it is bigger and bolder than the others here, so shall appear a brighter star in the sky. And it shall be the brightest of stars ever.
25. And the grey painting which you see at the other end of the leather signifies the shadows of the gods of religion, who wish for humanity to continue worshipping them forever without developing their world.
26. But the light of Otem has cast a shadow of them all. And the gods of findings shall be made known to the world. For the gods of science are greater in all respect than the gods of religion. For the gods of science gives you hidden knowledge freely when you meditate. And they do not even need to appear to you before giving them to you.
27. But the gods of religion demand continual worship from you.
28. Now Agidi received the leather from me, saying, you are blessed among all homos of Igala. And many shall name their children after you, Enedumona. And from generations to generations shall your genealogy succeed.
29. And Agidi gave me five cows and three goats. And he gave me necklaces and coins also, saying, take them all. For what you have done for me with this leather is greater than a million cows. And Agidi gave me twenty skins of Une also, saying, I killed them at will in this bush, for they are very many here.
30. And I departed from Okerune to Anpa again. And I went every ten years to Okerune to see if Agidi have seen anything in the sky.

Chapter Four
1. In the fiftieth year after our first colonizers attacked our land and settled upon it, some other colonizers came and they were accepted also.
2. And they came to tell us that Zeusus Krista whom our first colonizers called Issa was actually the son of God and not just a prophet. And these homos came in peace and not through wars at the beginning.
3. And I, Olubojo, the first son of Mona said, which of you should we believe? For the first came and said that Murhamid was the last prophet and many believed it so. And they told us in those days, saying, if any other religion come to you to say that Issa is the son of God, do not listen to them.
4. Now as they warned, some homos have come to say so. And I Olubojo, the son of Mona resist both the first and the second religion brought to us, saying, let us rather go to our own root.
5. For we have our own gods before all these gods or homo-gods are brought to us. Let us go back to the worship of our ancestors, for our forefathers who did such things did say that they got revelations sometimes after doing so.
6. And my own people took me and bound me and kept me in prison for telling them that our own ancestors are better to be worshipped than foreign gods who do not even write of us and our lands in their books.
7. And while I was in prison, I seek in my meditation to see the sky that is outside. And I do see a sky like the similitude of the physical sky. And I flew in that sky.
8. And I could not tell whether it was the physical sky outside or a mere hallucination. And I remembered the patterns of the skies I saw in my meditations. And I said, I shall draw them out on leaves and on wood whenever I am let out of the prison.
9. But I was not let out of the prison. For Edoeje my son came with furs and ink into the prison and I made the description of the pattern of stars I saw in my meditation. And he drew them on the furs.
10. And I told him to continue the culture of gazing at the sky every night to see if the stars shall be in the fashion of the cowries which my fathers have made on the skins of leopard hung on the wall.
11. And the other one did my father give to Agidi whom I heard that he died shortly after the death of my father Mona also.

Chapter Five
1. When I, Edoeje heard the news of the death of my father in the prison, I wept bitterly. And I went with twelve homos to fight against those who held my father in prison and killed him there.
2. And on my way to Kukia where the homos lived, I slept and had a revelation. And I saw like the ghost of my father. And he said, di owo kadi edo e.
3. And I touched my edo and he said again, di edo e kadi orooro. And I did so also. And he said, go back to your land, for you should not fight for the dead. For he who is dead is happy and do not need anyone to fight for him except the law.
4. And when I awoke from sleep, I told all the homos with me the things I saw. And they returned reluctantly after much persuasion from me.
5. Now I went to Okerune to see if the son of Agidi had seen the pattern of the stars which was similar to the pattern of the cowries on the leather. And I met Omini, who was the first male child of Agidi. And Omini said, my father and your father were friends and we are to be friends also.
6. And our friendship should bring friendship between our lands also. For if Bini and Tampa and Akokedo and Edeosun and all the lands of Oduduwa could accept our people peacefully into their lands when we scattered everywhere all over Negre, how then should it be impossible for us to be friends with one another in Kougi?
7. For if Idom and Igala and Ebir and Bede and all the lands in Kougi come together as one in unity, casting away ethicity, we shall be known as a great land in the whole of Negre and in the whole of Aferk.
8. And if our culture is peaceful and our land is friendly to strangers, they shall come here to study about us. But if not so, we shall be spoken of as evil people. And the outsiders shall make mock songs for us. And they shall be wary of our daughters.
9. And they shall be fearful and careful in having business dealings with us.
10. Now I and Omini went to the hill of Gohi and drew a symbol of unity upon it, for the hill stood between Ida and Ima, which were the two towns of significance in Kougi.
11. And Omini said, as long as this hill remains, it shall be a witness of our agreement of peace.
12. And I stayed with Omini at Okerune for three years, observing the pattern of the stars made in the sky every night. And none of them came close to the pattern of cowries in the leather. And I felt disappointed and tired of doing it.
13. Now Omini said, you being called Edoeje do not have as much patience as I have. For if the god of truth does not come in our time, shall he not certainly come in the times of our children?
14. And I left Omini with more courage, for I have received strength from the words of his mouth.
15. And when I returned to my land, my first son Ojonuba said to me, father, I have accepted the religion of the foreigners. For they spoke the truth to me and I believed it. And now, do not call me Ojonuba anymore, for I have been buried under water. And my spiritual name is now Ebiloma, being the father of many nations.
16. Now when I heard this confession, I said, it is your wish, for I shall not force any religion upon you. For I shall not be like Onuchojo who killed his son because he accepted foreign religion.
17. Neither shall I behave like Ojochide who disowned his son when he embraced the religion of Murhamid.
18. However, deep down in me I was sad, saying, how does my child change the name given to him by us to a name of foreign people for no good reason?
19. For we knew how we asked in meditation from our ancestors for the most befitting name for him before we named him.
20. However, the change of Ojonuba affected his mother, my second wife so much that she soon got ill and died after a short while.

Chapter Six
1. After the death of my beloved wife, I went upon a rock and looked at the sky, weeping. And the tears beclouded my face. And I said, why do you death take my wife away? For she is the seed of happiness in me. You should have taken me instead of her.
2. And I wept more, saying, let me go the way of death. For what is life when the most precious thing in it has been taken away?
3. Can anyone live without blood? My wife is my blood and the strength of my bones. She is the power of my vacuums.
4. Let death catch me in its wings and take me to the place where my beloved has gone. Let it swallow me like the throat of a fish.
5. Ojone, my eyeball, my dimple, the sweetness of my skin, the freshness of my breath. Do not leave me to myself. Come and have me with you forever, for I know you cannot cope in the abode of the dead without me.
6. Lay your hands on me in my dream and take my soul away. Have my soul in your embrace. Take me away tonight in my sleep. Kiss my spirit body and do not let it go.
7. It is true that Ojo owns everything but it is also through that we own each other. Therefore let me come to your place and be together. Keep me close to you forever.
8. The love of my heart.
9. Why is it so sudden? Why did you hide your departure from me? Nature, you are guilty in that you did not arouse my suspicion before taking Ojone away. You did not send a note of warning that Ojone shall soon depart.
10. This is wickedness and cruelty. For if you have notified me that my sweet Ojone would soon disappear, I would have prevented it.
11. For it is a shame that I could not go with her.

Chapter Seven
1. Now after my long lamentation, I slept in the emotion of my mind and a vision appeared before me. And I saw like the image of my father. And the image pointed to the sky. And when I have gazed at the sky, the pattern of the stars in it appeared similar to me.
2. And I awoke and went to check the furs on which my father made some patterns while he was in the prison. And the pattern on the fur was exactly the same as the one I saw in my vision.
3. And I went to check outside in the dead of that night. And I was surprised to see that the pattern of the stars in the sky was also the same as the one on the fur and the one I saw in the vision, yet father saw the same pattern some years back in his own dream.
4. And I was surprised, for I did not know the meaning of all these things.
5. Now when I went to sleep again, I saw the stars exactly as I saw them in the reality. And from one of the stars came a radiation down into my heart. And I was filled with great love as if I was engulfed by it.
6. And when I awoke, I knew the meaning immediately. And the meaning was that Ojone my wife has returned to her constellations, from where her soul came. And my father saw it first while he was in prison, but the interpretation was not known by then.
7. Now my soul desired even more that I should die, for I want to meet my wife before she vanished away.
8. Now I could not sleep for two days, for I felt that I needed to be with Ojone, the love of my life. For the first wife has left my house to marry another man for more than two years before. And I had no child left.
9. Now while I was in deep thought, one named Arome, a beautiful lady began to come around me. And I observed that she did not even know that she was coming too close to me.
10. And my life began to go towards her. And I wondered how it should be so. And I began to feel as if I should speak with her. And I approached her and spoke with her, saying, shall you be my wife?
11. And Arome laughed so much and left in shame without giving me her word back. And I was downcast. And I felt guilty within me, saying, why am I suddenly losing grip of Ojone my wife?
12. For she shall be offended in this, saying, why have you settled for another wife?
13. And I wept into sleep and saw a number which was four hundred and fifty-one. And I wondered what it was.
14. Now after a week, I saw Arome with a container of water. And I did not want to speak with her. And she called me with respect but I did not answer. And she was frustrated.
15. And when I slept again, I saw the same number appear to me. And I woke up and wondered what it was.
16. And afterwards, I saw Arome again. And when I called her, she did not respond. And she went the other way until her shadow was no more visible to me.
17. And on the third week, I went to see a wise man. And he said, what is the matter with you, Edoeje, son of Olubojo? And I said, it is the matter of a number I always see in my sleep. For I have seen it more than ten times now since the death of my wife.
18. And Ikani the wise homo said, have you been trying to make a decision recently? And I said, yes father. I love my wife but she died suddenly. And I always feel guilty whenever I was trying to marry someone else.
19. And the Wise man said, did you swear to any oath that you shall not marry even after each other's death? And I said, we did no such thing. And Ikani said, why then do you feel guilty?
20. Now Ikani arranged some stones and meditated on them. And he said to me, Edoeje, the dead do not use all there strength to speak with the living, neither do the spirits do so.
21. Now listen to what I shall say, for it is a message from your guardian angels, who are your ancestors. And your dead wife has become one of them. And she is the one who reveals that number to you, saying, the decision which you are making at the moment is the right one.
22. Now when I heard it, I said, wise one, you are wrong this time, for my wife shall never support that I should marry another wife after her, for she was even a little jealous while she was alive, making sure no other woman comes too close to me.
23. How then shall she support me in the decision to marry another wife?
24. And the wise one said to me, son of Olubojo, keep your ignorance in your head and reason like a learned homo. For the dead do always have a change of mind and character. For when a homo is dead and his or her soul knows a more perfect knowledge, the character of him or her changes.
25. For it is the same with those who died and came back to life also. For no one who died and came back to life always take life or death too serious. For such people have seen the realities of two worlds and they are no more strict on themselves or on anything again.
26. Now Edoeje, your wife has given you the go-ahead, therefore find Arome and marry her.
27. Now I arose in anger and went home, saying, Ikani has spoken foolishly this time. Indeed, the interpretation of his name in the tongue of the yooba is whom he is--a wicked person.
28. Now when I lay my back on my bed, I saw a shape of an homofal turning her back at me. And I went closer to see her face, for I thought that she was Ojone. And when she turned her face at me, it was the face of Arome.
29. And she smiled at me in the brightest manner. And her teeth shone like gold. And I hissed at her and turned around to gaze at the sky. And I saw the patterns of stars in the sky arranged like the ones I saw before, which had the star of my wife among them.
30. And the star shone towards the direction of Arome. And the number four hundred and fifty-one appeared again in a flash.
31. And the stars vanished immediately. And I awoke from my sleep.

Chapter Eight.

1. Now I could interprete the vision by myself, for it was very clear and easy. And I went to Ikani to commend him, saying, truly you are a wise homo. And your wisdom is more than the wisdom of the foreigners.
2. And I gave Ikani three white c.ocks as a gift for his great advice. Now when I went to see Arome, I found a homofel with her. And I turned around in jealousy. And she saw me and left the homofel and came swiftly after me.
3. And she stood at my way and said, I am here for you. And I said, go back to your lover who speaks with you at the branch of the tree. And Arome said, Ikojo is one of my many suitors, but I do not love him.
4. And I said, whom do you love? And Arome said, you. For even before you got married to Ojone I have loved you, but I could not show it towards you. For it is uncultural for a homofal to spread her wings around a homofal.
5. And since you homofel did not spread your wings around me, I had to look elsewhere. But the death of Ojone seemed to have opened a door for me.
6. Now I breathed deeply and said, indeed the death of a homo could open a door of opportunity for another homo. For Ojone herself wish that I get married to you.
7. Now I married Arome and paid all the prices levied against me. And we had a male child after two years. And the name of the child was Omokwo, which by interpretation was a child with spiritual powers. For when he was born, he did not cry, but he laughed so much that all they who were around wondered greatly.
8. And Ikani the wise man said to us, he has come to make you laugh, O Edoeje. And he has come with great spiritual strength.
9. Now when Omokwo was nine years old, he began to much interest in things pertaining to wise sayings. And he began to speak like a great sage. And when I told him of a coming god whose name shall be called Otem, he said, I have heard the name somewhere before.
10. Now Omokwo made some impressions in the soil. And he called me to come and see what he has made in the soil. And when I went to see it, I found that the impressions were the exact one made upon the leather with cowries.
11. And I said, indeed you have a thing in common with Otem, for you have drawn the exact patterns of some of the stars in the constellation where the soul of Otem belongs.
12. And who knows if you also belong to the same constellation as he? And I went to seek and I knew that the constellation of Omokwo was Aries. And I said, maybe the constellation of Otem is the same.
13. Now Omokwo loved to gaze at the stars more than anyone. And he said that he always saw the stars in his dreams and even whenever he shut his eyes.
14. Now Ojonuba who had changed his name to Ebiloma, my first son, hated all the things I do. And he went into my secret chamber when I was away in the meeting of the elders. And he took my leather and roasted it. And Omokwo saw him and told me when I returned.
15. And I called him and said, why did you roast away the ancient leather of my forefathers? And he said confidently, light and darkness cannot be together. For you hide in darkness to do evil against me and against my family.
16. For it is five years now and my wife does not have a single child. And I know that it is you who is enchanting my family, because I turned away from the evil religion to the way of God.
17. And I said, your ignorance is more than what you know, Ojonuba. For I do not know how to hurt anything or anyone. Now tell me if you have seen me hurt anything before?
18. And Ojonuba said, as long as you are not a krishten, you are potentially evil and no matter how long, you shall perform evil.
19. Now few weeks after Ojonuba destroyed the ancient leather, he came to me with Ochide his wife and said, she is now pregnant. For I said that you are evil, father. For you were he who bound up the womb of my wife with that evil leather of cowries.
20. And I said, I swear by all our ancestors that I know nothing about that. For the leather has existed even before the birth of Ochide your wife.
21. And Ojonuba said, I have warned you father that you should not call her Ochide anymore, for her name is Shala and my own name is Ebiloma. Now Ojonuba departed with his wife, saying, I shall go far away from you father, for you are a wizard.

Chapter Nine
1. Now when I went to the Bush of Ufe, I killed an animal and came home with it. And I obtained a leather from it. And the leather and its fur did I make very dry. And I hung it in the house.
2. Now Omokwo made of it the prototype of the cowry patterns like before. And I was amazed, saying, the arrangements of the cowries on this leather are exactly the same with the one which Ojonuba destroyed.
3. Now I continued the culture of gazing at the sky to see if the patterns of the stars in it shall be the same as the patterns made by the cowries.
4. Now when Omokwo was eleven years, Ojonuba came with a cutlass to kill me. And many homos came quickly to stop him. And they said, why have you come to kill your father, you careless soul.
5. And Ojonuba said, he is the wizard behind all my problems. For he held the womb of my wife from giving birth. And I destroyed his charm, then my wife got pregnant. And for two years now, she could not deliver the baby.
6. And the elders of the church said to me that he is definitely the soul behind the mystery.
7. Now I said, I do not know anything about all these things.
8. Now while we spoke, Omokwo said to his brother, Onuku mi, is it only a child that makes the stomach swell? For it is not everything inside the belly that should be considered as a baby. For even food makes the stomach swell also.
9. Now let us call baba Ikani to find out more from him. For he has taught me so much that I think that this matter should be too easy for him to handle.
10. Now I sent for Ikani and he came. And when Ojonuba had ended his story before baba, he said, you are a f.ool Ojonuba. For you lack knowledge and wisdom.
11. Now here and be wise, for firstly, your belief shall determine your manner of life. And all the occurrences which a homo encounters are made for him according to your belief. For you, saying that you are powerful, still believe that you are under enchantment.
12. Where then is that power you say that you have? For I laugh at the ignorance of many like you who ran back to this village with cutlass to kill their parents, saying, you are the cause of my ill luck.
13. Now I say, you who think that you are more powerful than us in the name of the god of Juda whom you believe on, why do you still run back to us with physical weapons, lamenting that you are being bewitched or enchanted?
14. This indeed is a sign that your belief is not complete and powerless. For only a less powerful belief system is it which makes you believe that you are under a spell by an adherent of another belief system.
15. Now Ojonuba, this secret shall I tell you today, for it is the secret of eveything; we give strength to what we think or believe. For every physical object carries some strength in them. And he who knows how to use his belief to bring out the strength in them shall have the world to himself.
16. Now go Ojonuba and bring your wife to this place. And I tell you that the thing which you call child in her womb is not a child. For I have learnt modern knowledge and I know that it is uju.
17. Now Ojonuba did as he was told. And he brought Ochide his wife before Ikani. And Ikani said, I shall cut her body and bring that uju out of her. And Ikani gave her a leaf. And she lost consciousness. And Ikani said, the leaf is it which makes one not to feel much pain.
18. For many warriors have come to ask of it from me before they go for wars. And some of the oje from the leaves were squeezed into the incisions made on their skins. And they drank some of it and chewed some of it. And they feel only lesser pains in wars and hard labour.
19. But there are consequences which are not very good. For many good things have bad consequences in the long run. For life is like the taste of a sugar which gives both sweetness and pile.
20. For pleasure can end up bringing sorrow.
21. Now Ikani cut away some skin just above her womb. And he inserted the wider end of a horn into her through the cut. And Ikani began to suck up the other end of the hollow horn and he obtained an object as large as a tuber of yam from her body. And he said, this is what you call a baby. For ignorance is like an upended empty pot which is believed to be so full of knowledge.
22. For hundreds of people have been accused of holding back the days of delivery of pregnant women. But I tell you, it is not so. For they are not pregnant with child but with uju which shall not even allow the formation of a real baby.
23. Now Ojonuba went away with his wife and after six months, she got pregnant. And she delivered a baby. And Ojonuba named the girl Ofune, saying, she is the seal of reconciliation.
24. And Ojonuba did good to me till the days of my old age.

Chapter Ten
1. When I Omokwo took the books of my ancestors after the death of my father, I was glad, seeing how it was so easy for me to learn of real happenings of the past within a few seconds.
2. And I said, it shall be a pity for the generations who shall disrupt this culture of passing down true history from father to children. For with the look of things, the belief of the foreigners brought into this land shall make our descendants have a broken link from their source.
3. And we shall seem to them as wicked souls who have no morality at all in our own days. But what morality can be greater than the morality of Edoeje my father and that of Ikani my mentor?
4. For they did not even take any religion very serious, yet their morality was brighter than the brightness of the sun.
5. I pity the future of Igala, for I have seen a time when the children in it shall not even know the meaning of their traditional names, for the names of foreign religions shall they be called even as some of them are called already.
6. But those who stick to the names of their origin are the wise ones among them.
7. But I see a time after the time of this Otem when many homos of this land and all surrounding lands shall put off the names of the foreign lands and wear again their traditional names.
8. For they shall do so when they feel that the gods of foreign lands whom they worship have not done any help to them when they called earnestly for their help.
9. And they shall begin to use the organ of their heads to think deeply and bring solution. For even Ojo shall not help anyone who have brain in his head to think.
10. For there is no help from elsewhere except from the brains, which things are the only link between God and the homos.
11. And through it shall the world cure their sicknesses and diseases and make the world a beautiful place. For from the organ of the head comes music, artworks, inventions, ideas and all things which are upon the earth.
12. And whatever is done without the organ of God shall end up in failure. For he who loves another with the whole of his heart and does not apply his brain shall be exploited.
13. I shall teach my children how to use their brains from childhood and at the time of their youth, they shall not be able to fall prey of extortioners, cheats, sweet talkers, tricksters, hypnotists and all manner of people who make the world a complex place to be.
14. For the wisdom which Ikani taught me is that which has made me whom I am today. And I do not believe in the sweet mouths of the religious leaders and sweet talkers who sway people with sweet talks. Neither do I take the exaggerators of events serious.
15. Why should I believe in an external god separate from the one in me? Did I not learn by revelation of the light that the link between every homo and the highest God is the brain?
16. For when the lower gods make all organs of the body, they do not know how the brain got there. And from then till today, the brain has not ceased to be in the head of every homo born.
17. If the brain of a homo is missing, then he does not have a soul. For the brain code is the soul of a homo and it is a very complex code.

Chapter Eleven
1. Now while I muttered many wise words, one of my pupils called Ekele looked at me and said, teacher, you are very wise. And I said, no matter how many wise people are in existence in this homo erectus reality which we belong, some homos of the future shall think that we were just mere deaf and dumb animals who could neither speak nor hear.
2. And they shall think that we go naked like animals and we do not have any intelligent ones among us. But Ekele, this is not true, for even in millions of years to come, there shall be many who think that they are intelligent but are actually of lesser wisdom and knowledge than some of us in this era.
3. And if peradventure some of the words we speak get to them, they shall be so amazed at the great wisdom in those words. And some shall even accept to worship our words and make us their gods.
4. So shall it be, for the words of some ancient homos and higher beings in the foreign lands are the gods our people are now worshipping. And so shall our own words be to the homos of the future.
5. But the creator of the universe is separate from the things which are worshipped, for he cannot be worshipped as a whole or directly. And he does not delight in worship, neither does he want his ego boosted by his creatures.
6. But his children are they who love worship as if they cannot live up to the next minute without being worshipped. But the art of worshipping brings little or no good, but the art of making findings has unlimited benefits in it.
7. Give your mind to investigation and observation and deep thinking and do not step back from the congregation of thinkers, whether they have different view or things from you or not.
8. For there should be one or two things to learn from one another for the purpose of obtaining a better brain code.
9. For a brain is made to learn and let go older knowledge and then learn again. For the right things of the present shall be the wrong things of the future. And the wrong things of the present shall be the right thing of the future.
10. An open minded soul shall grow in the head eleven times more than a close minded soul.
11. Now Alami said, wise one, how can one become a god? And I said, a god is not just a creator of homos, but a creator of words can be a god also. For almost all the gods we have are not gods because they created homos, but because they created words.
12. And these gods honour their words more than even their own personalities. For their personalities are nothing to be reckoned with. For many of them, being too evil, have created words of threats and terror. And they shall have followers in billions who follow after them by fear.
13. But when a god called Otem shall come, he shall make their threats appear like the threats of a drunkard who himself cannot stand erect, but is threatening to throw down a wrestler in a game of wrestling.
14. And a giver of birth is a god also. For your parents are gods by procreation.
15. You are gods also, but you defy the power in you. And you think that it is humility to say that you are not god. For he who does not know himself as a god is like a hand separate from the rest of the body.
16. Therefore now that you have known yourself to be god, go and manifest like the god whom you are. Or else another god shall cheat you of your time and your money and give you only sweet talks in exchange for your money.

Chapter Twelve

1. Now I Omokwo have five children. And the names of my children were Ajanigo, Alolo, Ufedo, Ariga and Ebo.
2. Now before my face, four of my five children changed to the religion of the foreigners. For when they went to the school of the foreigners to learn, they were taught their religion, saying, after death shall be heaven and fire only.
3. And those who believe in Zeusus shall go to heaven while they who do not believe in him shall go to the fire to be there forever. Now I called my children and said to them, where do you think that your distant great grandfather Mona shall be now as we speak?
4. And they said, he shall be in the fire because he did not know Zeusus in his days.
5. And I said, why should he go to the fire because he did not know Zeusus? Does he have any fault for not knowing Zeusus? For in his days, Issa was he whom they told him about. And they did not even say that Issa died for the world. But he did not believe all their stories because there are greater stories here also which we pass from mouth to mouth to our children and grandchildren.
6. Now Alolo said to me, father, we do not wish that our ancestors should go to the fire, but the reality is that they shall be there forever. And Omokwo said, you children are making me laugh. For it is as if you are drunken with emu.
7. Now Ariga said, it is not an excuse that they do not believe in God while they were alive. And they shall by now be wailing in the fire. For they shall not be forgiven, no matter how they now plead for mercy. For there is no mercy in the fire of God.
8. Now Ufedo, being the last child of the family, who did not know much of the things which they spoke, was called apart by me. And I said to him, you are the youngest of my children, but I have made you greater than your four elder brothers.
9. And you alone have I accepted as my only child. And you are my first and last born. And all the things which I have are yours. And only through you should anyone come to me. Now have the key to my room.
10. Now Ufedo was very glad. And when his brothers sought after their father for food, he said to them, you are not worthy to be seen in my presence. Go and see Ufedo your little brother and accept him as your Lord and master. And if you do not accept him as such, you shall see my wrath.
11. For I have put in his charge all powers of this house. And through him alone can you be reconciled with me.
12. Now when the children of Omokwo went to Ufedo that he should give them the key to the storehouse so that they might take food and other things which belonged to the father, he said to them, call me Lord.
13. And they took him and beat him up in anger.
14. Now when Omokwo heard how they had maltreated his only acceptable son, he went after them and caught them. And he beat them with the rod and locked them up, saying, you shall be in that room forever. And I shall neither give you food or water.
15. Now the children of Omokwo thought that it was only a joke. And they cried out for help for three days, for they were very hungry. And Ufedo entered into the locked room after three days. And they said, now we have accepted you as the firstborn and even the only son of our father.
16. Now give us food and water to drink.
17. And Ufedo said, it is too late to do so. For the time when this was possible has long past. And there is no forgiveness for you.
18. Now at that time, Adeiza the grandson of Omini came from Okerune to see Omokwo. And he said, Omokwo the great one, I have come to do to you what Mona your ancestor did to Agidi my own ancestor. For in those days, Mona came even on foot to see Agidi my ancestor.
19. Now I have deemed it fit to come to see you in this place and share with you some experiences which are disturbing my minds. For even now, I have lost hope of the coming of anything or any god called Otem.
20. For rather than a saviour of our land from the religions of the foreigners, what we have is the massive conversion of our children to those foreign religions while they burn our own objects of meditation, calling them the objects of the devil.
21. Now I think there is no hope anymore. For even as I speak, my children have become Ishlamites. And they touched the ground with their foreheads to worship that which they call Alla.
22. Now I Omokwo said, I know that you Adeiza are an influential homo in Okerune and around. And you have much fame. And if you say that there is no hope, who am I to say that there is?
23. For even my own children are now Krishtenis and they see me as a demon and a devil now. And they say that my ancestors their ancestors are burning now in the fire. And they say that if I do not believe the story of that Zeusus who died in the land where I did not know about, then I shall be cast into fire when I die.
24. Now Adeiza said, let them come here so that I may talk to them so that they might change. For it is for the purpose of taking you to Okerune to talk with my own children have I also come.
25. Now let our hands help one another.
26. Now I said to Adeiza, I cannot bring those children to you here, for they are locked up in the room as a punishment for their wickedness. And they shall remain in that place forever.
27. When Adeiza could not persuade me to release them, I said to him, follow me. And he followed me to the place where my children lay. And Ufedo followed us also. And when we were in the place, we coughed greatly because of the ground pepper I had sprinkled there.
28. And Adeiza said, for how many days have you kept them here without feeding them? And I said, for three days. And Adeiza said, you are the most wicked being I have ever seen.
29. For what offence could have been so great committed against you to warrant starvation of your our creatures which you gave life to?
30. Now while Adeiza spoke, they groaned in pain and said, let us accept Ufedo as our lord now. Let him be everything and anything you have made him to be, but take us out of this hot room and feed us. For you are our father.
31. And I said, no, for it is not my principle to let you out forever. And Adeiza said to me, you are mad, Omokwo. Shall we chase a bad child to the tiger to prey upon?
32. Now set them free or else I shall set them free myself and go apart from you forever.
33. Now when Adeiza said this, I wept. And my children wondered why I wept. And I said, it is only the third day, but I cannot withstand the suffering I put my children to anymore.
34. How then shall there be a god who shall cast his homo in the fire forever without feeding them or forgiving them. Behold I say, such god should be given a chieftancy title in the kingdom of the monsters. For it is not possible for a father to subject his children to starvation and confinement for petty things done, let alone leaving them in a fire forever.
35. Therefore Ajanigo, Alolo, Ebo and Ariga, go and think about that idea of a fire burning your ancestors forever and relate it with the experience you have had here today.
36. For I tell you the truth, whoever makes an afterlife of fire for humanity is a devil and his rivals and superiors who are better than him shall not allow such kind of fire to remain burning. For even as Adeiza forced me to end this punishment, so shall the higher beings who are wise stop whoever that being is who made an eternal fire as a place to be after death.
37. For foolishness is the portion of Yahweh if indeed he ever nursed such kind of afterlife in his mind, let alone making it real. Therefore my children, forgive me for subjecting you through these three days of fasting and heat. For this I do to save you and your future from becoming useless to yourself by wasting your time worshipping a god who is a terrorist.

Otem...I know that flesh did not reveal these things to you. For I had tried and followed you from the first page, I could not read everything but from the many pages I was able to read, I saw wisdom not of this world, because I am also a seeker of truth and many religions of different cultures have I studied. However I do not know the spirit which reveal these things to you, however if they are from the ALMIGHTY GOD, then nothing can stop it.

May ALMIGHTY GOD, the maker of the universe direct our ways.

Ase! Thanks for your words of encouragement
