17. And when I asked my parents this, they feared for their lives. And they came before the mountain to make sacrifice before it, saying, great god, do not be angry with Omezi our son. 18. Do not kill him in your terror, for he is immature and inexperienced. And my father forced me to bow my heads seven times before the mountain. And I did so to please them. 19. And now that they are no more, I said to myself, I shall not worship the mountain anymore. 20. And I have kept to my promise, but I still come here yearly to see how the ignorant ones worship it. And I feared to confront them and say, do not waste your time worshipping the mountain. 21. But now I have seen how you Adaviruku speak against it and your words are already making impact in their lives. 22. Now Adaviruku said, I know that it is through the words spoken by our ancestors the people live by. And if I declare now against the worship of this mountain, when I also become an ancestor to some homos, they shall live by what I say. And they shall no more worship it. 23. And the land which Uga the son of Okuha found was Okengoa. And he was the first Ohindase of the land. And Obaji the son of Okuha found Ehika. And some of their brothers followed them to dwell in those places. And their wives and children also dwelt with them in those lands which they had found. |

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-One 1. The children of Ayaki were Odumi, Ure and Ohongoa. Now Ayaki did not marry more than a wife. For he loved Onyeche very well. 2. Now Odumi was a name translated to mean 'my name', for the land where they dwelt was populated with the Igala tribes. And the costum of the land had demanded that the firstborn of anyone must be named in the Igala language. 3. Now Odumi was very good in the wrestling game. And he had won the former champion of the land who was an Igalite. And the homos of the land became jealous, saying, how does an Ebir come into our land to defeat us? 4. And they sought how they would kill Odumi. 5. Now some of the homos came and took Odumi away secretly. And they pushed him into the river called Ofu so that he would die. 6. And Odumi was held under water for ten minutes. And they left him and fled. And Odumi coughed out water all by himself. And he managed his way out of the water. 7. And he went home and became very calm. For some of his friends were among those who buried his head under water. 8. Now when Ayaki saw that his son was not active as he used to, he called him aside and asked him why. And Odumi said, I have seen the light. And my purpose of returning to the earth is not to strive and struggle with those who operate on a lower vision. 9. Now when Ayaki asked him for details further, he said, tribalism can turn a friend to an enemy overnight O father. And to fight against tribalism is the purpose for my return to the earth. 10. And Ayaki said, why do you speak of a return when you did not die in the first place? And Odumi said, I was dead ten hours ago. I was drowned by my friends and my enemies. Ikani was my friend as well as Agude. And they both led my enemies to the place where I was so that they could kill me. 11. And when I drowned, I saw the light. And the light revealed the past and the future to me at once. Now the past which it revealed to me is this: Ikani and Agude were true friends of mine until an elderly woman saw us together. 12. And when I have departed, the woman called them both and said, why do you children relate so closely with an Ebir boy? Do you not know that they are bad people? 13. And they said, we have been with Odumi since childhood and he has never done bad things to us. We know his parents also and they are good people. 14. How do you now accuse these people falsely? And the elderly woman laughed and said, you are very ignorant, young children. Sit down and I will tell you the truth about the Ebirs. 15. When they had sat down, the elderly woman began to tell them tales of the bad things the Ebirites had done to the Igalites. And she kept away the bad things any Igalite had ever done to the Ebirites. 16. And she said, the Ebirites are chameleons. For they shall change their attitudes towards you suddenly and do harm to you. They hate you but they pretend to love you. 17. Now when Ikani and Agude had digested the seed of hatred sown into their minds, they began to take action. And they made friendship with my enemies. And they plotted how they shall get rid of my life. 18. And they said to my enemies, we know where Odumi shall be at this hour of the day. For every time after breakfast, he always go to relax under a mango tree. 19. Now they led them there and took hold of me while I refreshed myself under the mango tree. And I could not wriggle myself off because they were many. And they took me to the Ofu and drowned me there. There I saw the light. 20. Father, here is the future which I saw. Ikani and Agude came to report the matter to you of how I got drowned while I was swimming. And you went with them to the river to look for my dead body but could not find it. 21. And the whole land thought that I had died. And on the day of the wrestling final, I appeared before them and there was confusion. 22. While Odumi was still talking, the door sounded. And Odumi said, father, they have come. And Odumi went to hide while his father went to open the door. 23. And Ikani and Agude entered and shook. And Ayaki asked, where is my son? For I have prepared myself to come to your house to seek him. For I have not seen him since the time I returned from the farm. 24. Now the two of them burst into tears. And they said, we went to swim in the morning and Odumi got drowned. When Ayaki heard it, he burst into tears. And the three of them shed false tears together. 25. Now Ayaki followed them to the river to search for the corpse of his son but did not find any. And he returned to his house. And so Ikani and Agude thought that Odumi was dead. And when they told the elderly woman about it, she was glad. 26. Now the day for the final wrestling game began. And a homo was chosen to represent Odumi whom they thought that he had died. And the homo would fight with one of the enemies of Odumi who drowned him. 27. Now when he who drowned Odumi had fought, he won easily. And while everyone cheered him up, Odumi appeared in front of him and said, I have come from the land of the dead to fight by myself. 28. And when that enemy saw him, he fainted. And Ikani and Agude fled also, because they thought him to be a ghost. 29. And many homos fled also. 30. And Odumi said, return for I was not dead neither am I a ghost. And he explained the thing which had happened to him. And Ikani and Agude accepted what he had said as true. And they said, it was the grandmother of Enefola who spoilt our mind towards our best friend. 31. And Odumi said, she told you that the Ebirites are chameleons, but today you have seen that neither the Ebirites nor the Igalites is a chameleon but you Ikani and Agude who changed from being a friend into being an enemy within a blink of an eye. Is this not the doing of a chameleon? 32. But I do not blame you but I blame the grandmother of the trouble maker and I blame tribalism also. For by telling bad stories of the past shall tribalism be fueled. But by ignoring the past evil tribal stories and dealing with the present homos of the other tribes peacefully shall peace reign. 33. When Odumi had ended his speech, the homos of Ebir and Igala came together in Ofu. And throughout the time of Ayaki and Odumi till the fifth generation, there was no tribalism in that land. 34. For they promoted the stories of Adajinege and those of Oricha and other stories of good relationships between the Ebirites and the Igalites rather than telling the stories of bad relationships. 35. And Odumi and his two friends became closer than before until their death. |
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty 1. When Uga had reached a junction where two roads met, he was not sure which of the three new roads he should follow. And he took a stone and cast it up, saying, I shall cast lot now. Let my ancestors choose for me the right place to go. 2. For I am confused and I know nothing. 3. And the stone rolled to the road on his right hand side. And Uga said within himself, the right hand side is thick with bush ahead of it. Shall I go there and be swallowed up by the bush? 4. And Uga threw the stone again and it rolled to his right again too. And Uga said, surely there is a good thing lying ahead. And he went to that path. 5. And Uga saw only two huts as he moved along. And he settled in a place which was very close to the river. 6. Now after ten years, Uga saw a homo and a lady talking together at the bank of the river. And he went close to hear the thing they said. And the young boy said to the lady, my mother is getting old and worried. 7. Accept me quickly and let me bring you to my mother so that you could become my wife. And the lady said, I cannot get married to one who has a very big navel. And she pushed him aside and left. 8. And the boy sat beside the river and wept. And while he wept, he felt a touch on his shoulder and heard a voice, saying, Ayaki, son of Onyare, arise and be strong. 9. And when Ayaki had lifted up his head, he saw Uga but did not recognize him. And Uga said, the navel which someone rejected is what another homo has been watching out for in the past ten years. 10. Now go home and return with your mother. Go and tell her of the man by the riverside. And when he comes, you shall know more about yourself which you have not been told. 11. So Ayaki went and told Onyare about the man he met by the riverside. And Onyare took an axe with her, for she was ready for a fight. For she thought that the brothers of Uga had come to have her child as they planned a decade ago. 12. And Ayaki and his mother awaited the man at the riverside but they did not see him. And they heard a voice which said, Onyare, daughter of Alabara, what do you want to do with an axe? If I am for evil, I would have hurt Ayaki your son when I first saw her. 13. Now Onyare knew that it was the voice of Uga. And she said, where are you Uga the father of my son?. 14. And Uga came out from the back of a boulder and revealed himself. And Onyare ran with full strength and gave him a tight embrace. 15. And Ayaki was proud of himself when he knew that he had a father. And when he loved himself and thought well of himself, the lady who pushed him aside before came to him again to beg him, saying, now take me back Ayaki, for I was ignorant when I pushed you aside and rejected you. 16. And Ayaki accepted Onyeche and took her as his wife. And they had children, both boys and girls. |
Chapter One Hundred And Forty-Nine 1. Opayin and Alabara went to a valley and there they rested. And they began to make tents in that valley. 2. Now the children and the wives of the two homos found shelter for their heads. And the name of the village was called Opala when they had compressed their names together. 3. Now Opayin and Alabara had not thought of which of them shall be the village head. And they lived together without considering it. 4. Now when the population of the place had reached five hundred after the death of Alabara, the people came to Opayin and said, we shall ordain you the village head traditionally. 5. And Opayin said, when I was a youth I did not strive to be called a village head. Shall I now do so when I am past the age of my strength? Now if you shall choose village head, go among the youths and make a choice. 6. Now Alabara had only female children whose names were Onyare, Asimi, Onize, Omata, Ozioma, Epemiro and Ozimi. And all his children were warriors. For they helped to guard the land against attacks. 7. And Onyare kept the name of his father. For in those days, if there was only female children born to a homo, the females shall keep on to the names of their father. And they shall go and have children without a husband. 8. And they shall both be the father and the mother to those children so that the name of their lineage could be kept. 9. Therefore Onyare sought one who shall make her pregnant. And when she was pregnant, she rejoiced until the day of her labour. And her sisters rejoiced with her. 10. Now he who impregnated Onyare was not known, according to the culture of the land. For in such cases, the father of the child was made to be unknown. 11. Now when the people of the land had come together, they made Uga the firstborn of Opayin the village head. 12. And Uga was a good homo. And he ruled the land well, but he had no child from all the homos whom he had married. 13. And Uga began to seek after Onyare very well. And he took care of her child who was named Ayaki because he had a very big navel. And the homos of the land began to notice the closeness of Uga with Onyare. 14. Now Opayin called Uga and said, what do you often go and do in the house of your cousin? Do you know that the custom of the land does not permit you to marry her? For she shall be the head of her own family so that she would be able to keep the name of his lineage. 15. Or else the lineage of Aduho shall end with her. 16. And Uga said, father, the child which she has is mine. For I was the one who made her pregnant before I was made the village head. Now let me pay my responsibility to the only child whom I have. 17. And Opayin said, this is an uncommon issue. Now do it secretly and let no one spot your movements anymore. 18. And Uga heed the advice of his father. And he did not go and see his son in the daylight anymore. 19. Now two of the brothers of Uga found out that Ayaki was the son of Uga. And they sought how they would kill the child so that he would not fight for the headship of the land in the future. 20. And when Onyare knew of their plans, she took her child and fled the land. And Uga became sad when he did not see Ayaki anymore. And he said, I leave the position of the headship of this land today. 21. I shall no more be the ruler of it. 22. And Uga went and paid the last respect to his father Opayin who had died two years before. And he said, father, let good fortune locate me. Let me not end up childless. Lead my path aright and let good luck be my portion. 23. And Uga departed towards the south. And his brothers fought over the rulership of Opala and killed one another. And the villagers arose and restored peace to the land. And they made a wise stranger named Obu the village head. 24. And it became a proverb in the land of Ebir, saying, if all the indigenes have no manner, then shall a stranger be made king over them. For good manner is the best quality of a king and not citizenship. |

A song of Goddys: Time and Reason 10. Here comes a baby so tender and sweet. His body so slender and mild His brain so blank and bleak His fist so clenched and weak 11. Here comes a toddler so confused and naive His eyes so open to learn about life His mouth muttering wordings as he heard His brain being fed with things of life. 12. Here comes a boy so smart and sharp His brain so witty and wise for a chap His body and mind so fed with knowledge That he forgets what awaits at the old age 13. Here comes a new baby turns Old His hands and feet so weaken by age His brain eaten by disease of old age His body so fragile as he hopes for death. 14. Here comes a life so deep and arcane The wise dies with their wisdom The fool dies with their folly Time and Reason happen to all in existence. |
Chapter Thirteen A song Of Otem: Be Your Soul 1. Don't struggle to be the soul of another. You've got your mission to fulfil upon the earth. You alone have the power to be what you are. There's no god that can make you anything. And when you die, you go to the place of your choice, your choice, if you have not submitted your soul to another. 2. Be your soul, never try to be another. Be who you are at any time. Lay claim to what you do. Do it well, that's the purpose of life. But try not to do what will harm other souls. 3. Many struggle to be like the soul of another. They don't go near what they come to do. They think that whom they are is inferior to another. They want to be like another god and they ended up in the imagination of that god. 4. Be your soul, never try to be another. Be who you are at any time. Lay claim to what you do. Do it well, that's the purpose of life. But try not to do what will harm other soul. 5. I'm a soul covered up in flesh. I have come to fulfill the wishes of many. What are you? it's the time to know yourself. Look inward, you shall know whom you are. A song of Otem: Help The World 6. Help the world in your own little way. Don't come to the world to make it worse. We alone can help the world get to the place where it should be. What part of the world do you want to be? It's all your choice. Be the part that helps the world. 7. Help the world in your own little way. Some neglect to make the world a better place. They say to them that they should not love the world. If you don't love something how do you make it better? So love the world. Observe nature and help the world. 8. Care for the world as much as you can do. Unite the world and make it great. Some people say world peace is evil. If there's no world peace how can the world be better? Build the world. Care for the world and unite it. 9. Create a world of no worry. Don't come to the world to make your life miserable. Have fun in the world and make yourself happy in it. Some people condemn all music of the world save the songs of their gods. Without music how do you feed your soul? Sing secular songs and be balanced. |

MTKbudapest:Honestly do you wish that hell fire must be there forever? That thief who stole your phone, do you wish that hell fire should be his portion forever? That person who kept malice do you wish for him to die and be inside a fire forever? Buhari, Obasanjo, Goodluck Jonathan etc who embezzled Nigerian money, do you wish that they should go and learn their lessons forever and ever in a fire that cannot be quenched? If that is your will, then you are a reincarnate of satan(Yahweh) who imagined hell fire with his mind. Read the book of Danyal and be wise. |
This thread doesn't make sense. That you are a christian doesn't mean you can't keep some stuffs secret. Some love messages you want to keep away from the eyes of just anybody, some private stuffs you don't want others to see without your consent, etc. OP, you should have said, why do Christian put on cloth? Why do christians have doors in their houses? Why do christians even have houses at all? ![]() |
Either way, just make your money. |
Hier:Faulkin(Yeshua) didn't die for the world, but he died when he was humbled for his theft. After his Humiliation, he went to Sodom-Egypt and died there. Here is an account of his stealing. DOCTUFOS: : Batimeus 7:1-8 |
Not all our forefathers accepted the doctrine of Hell fire sheepishly as many of us did. The reason was that, they heard it when they already had the experience and know the truth. But we were indoctrinated at birth so we had no choice. Here is what our Forefather said when his children were preaching hell fire to him. DOCTUFOS: Aworawo 12: 36-37 |
MTKbudapest:You are there wishing them hell instead of working hard to make sure the law of the country is made strict and justice here in Nigeria and on earth is meted out. Hell fire has been gotten rid of by the GREATEST LIGHT OF GOD ALMIGHTY so forget that stuff and focus on how our law wouldn't be broken free in Nigeria here. BTW, Yahweh who imagined hell fire is useless, according to the DOCTUFOS OF TRUTH, our forefathers even detected his uselessness those days: DOCTUFOS: 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. |
Goodlyhrt:God don't send people to hell, it was Yahweh who did such evil back in those days. But currently the gods who are his brothers have captured him and kept him in a spiritual cage. Read what a wise person said about Yahweh(Satan) who poses as God Almighty. DOCTUFOS: 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. |
Edowonyi:Yahweh the hell maker is currently held in a spiritual cage by his brothers. DOCTUFOS: 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. |
MrPRevailer:Hello, the pix you posted, which of the sheeple are you? |
Ken4Christ: DOCTUFOS: 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. |
GoodMuyis:Prison is for criminals, hell is for people who aren't even aware of the law of Yahweh, e.g your great grandfather and your great great grandfather who haven't heard about Jesus. Jesus was made known in the last 100 years, so your ancestors from 1AD to 1900AD are in hell now because they didn't know fictitious Jesus How does that sound to you? Do you put people who didn't have your law into your prison? DOCTUFOS: 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. |
Originakalokalo:If Yahweh actually destroyed the world with flood, don't you think he is a monster for doing such nonsense? Cc: YahwehPenis |
Originakalokalo:How did African Elephant get into Noah's Ark? Did they fly with wings to that place? And how come our history didn't know anything about world destruction through flood? Even India and Egypt who kept history didn't experience such flood. The flood only happen inside fictitious dubious bible story. Think. |

Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Eight 1. When Utohu ruled the land of Unchere, two of his sons named Alabara and Opayin said, let us go and make a kingdom of our own. For by so shall we cause the spread of Ebir. And Utohu said, it is not a bad thing for you to spread far. 2. But you shall accept my blessings before you go, so that it may be well with you. 3. And Alabara and Opayin his brother knelt before their father. And he laid his hands upon them. And after he had poured libations, he said, let our ancestors go with you in your journey. 4. The teeth of the lions and the leopards shall not touch your flesh, neither shall the snake poison and snake bites be for you, for you shall reach your destination peacefully. 5. For as Adijo left his people and lived in Ubini in the very ancient times, so shall you also leave and be successful wherever you go. 6. Let the remembrance of the good children whom you are be in your mind. Do good to anyone, even if they do not recognise Ohomorihi our first god as their own god. Do not force your god upon the people of the land which you shall go and found and fight no fights for any god. 7. Be peaceful and moral, so shall your land also be peaceful and moral. But if you are not peaceful, your land shall become unpeaceful to you. And this shall continue from generations to generations. 8. The gods of other lands are not above your own ancestors, therefore do not be swayed whenever anyone brings to you his own god. Rather, tell them of your own ancestors also. 9. Those who are in need should not be neglected. But check and know if truly they are in need. For many pretend as if they are in need. And when they get from you, they say, this is a good thing to do to fetch money. And they continued to be perpetual beggars. 10. Be careful of such. But give to those who are worthy of receiving from you. 11. Let there be no battle between you. For unity is better than battle and dialogue is better than unending conflicts. 12. Whatever you do now shall become histories to the homos of the future. Therefore do good so that you could be written as a good homo. 13. If you err, redeem yourself before it becomes impossible. Look towards what you want to achieve rather than looking backward at your failures and stumbling at the present. 14. Let superstitions and mouth-sayings be weighed and if they are found untrue, let them be rejected. 15. Do not be engaged in human ritual killings, for no gods or ancestors shall require that if they are good. 16. For only the gods who are bad shall say, sacrifice your fellow homo to me. For this is not a good thing to do. 17. Be gentle on the land where you are. Do not take the lands of other people by force, for how shall you feel if others come to take your own by force also? 18. Let your children and your children's children be honest and truthful. Let them be hardworking also. For dishonesty is both evil and unacceptable. 19. Do not fall into the errors which some of our fathers fell into, but avoid them by all means. Let the history of your land not be taken away from you. For you are like a house without foundation if you have no history. 20. Go in peace and the spirits of our ancestors shall go with you. |

How does a deaf person use a phone?
How does that sound to you? Do you put people who didn't have your law into your prison?
