Yes. Que sera sera. The altered destiny is also the future that was predicted to be.

Whatever happens on the course of your destiny is also what was supposed to have happened in your future. That's my point.
you deserve a gold medal. What will be will be and "what is" is what would have been. It's simple logic!

I ne'er said you should write in flowery language with vocabularies, what I intend is that you use specific imagery to pass your message, most of what's up there are cliché, the images are old and worn out.

I don't mean to abase your piece, criticism if welcomed helps to improve literary works. Peace

The so-called "Lemba Jews" are not Jews either. All that is known about them is that a minority of them possibly have small dna traits from several generations ago of someone who might have migrated down south from the Levant and bred with natives. All the Jewish traditions they adopted are recent additions to their culture. They're just another group of shameless, inferiority-complex ravaged niggas, who think claiming the heritage of a superior culture somehow uplifts them.

And who are these black Igbo couples who gave birth to white children? grin
Shameless people who appropriate the heritage of other people and drag their own in the mud.

I have questions;
Unanswered questions
What is life?
What is love?
What awaits after life?
Destiny they say
Lies in the palms of men
I look into mine for a‎nswers
But all I see is a web of‎ patterns
Intricately embedded in great d‎iscord!
I look into the heavens for answers
But all I see is a sea of blue
Flowing into the depthless trenches of infinity
Life is a helical maze
Woven to beguile mankind
The birds mock us in flat pitch

I appreciate good poems and good writers
Your lines are well arranged and aptly describes the heart of some people right now... Many have lost the will to go on and Anubis seem to have become tired of having new entrants into the hereafter...

I imagine what could be passing thru the minds of loved ones left behind. No matter how useless the dead person had been on earth, he/she is still missed greatly cos we all have a purpose.

I can only but pray that life conditions change and the rate at which Anubis and other deathtly hosts received new and unfulfilled members...

How did the Lemba Jews of Zimbabwe also arrive there? Igbos are not Jews, but they have a Judeo-Egyptian origin. Clues to this exist. Even ancient Igbo scholars like Olaudah Equiano acknowledge the Igbo links to Hebrew.

Why is it that every few years or so, two perfectly black Igbo couples give birth to white babies who are discovered not to be bastards after rigorous DNA and other tests? It is as a result of what Igbo historian Prince Charles Offokaja calls 'the sign of Eri' in his book, History Of The Igbo World, https://www.amazon.com/History-Igbo-World-Ancient-Civilization-ebook/dp/B01K4AIUO8
a sign according to him of an Igbo past that came about by an alliance between Eri Ben Gad and Black Nubian chieftains from the Saccarra area of Egypt.

This white baby talk is balderdash cos jews are not even white. The Edo, yoruba and Igbo share a common origin. The jewish history of the lembas you speak of is still hotly contested.

Politics / The Need To Protect The History Of The Igbo Race by chronos: 1:13am On Jun 17, 2017
There's this storm that's been brewing for some time now, which might locomote into a tempest if left unencumbered. This politically motivated misconception about the origin of the "Igbo" race peddled by selfish miscreants looking to profit from the monstrous ignorance and sheer imprudence of the people.
  Firstly, Igbos are not Jews, let's stop disappointing our fore-fathers!. They'd be turning in their graves right now. I know the thrills of Christianity would have many wanting to align with the "chosen" people of Israel, leading to this futile attempt at connecting nonexistent dots. 
The stories of migration by "Eri" the son of Gad after the invasion of Israel by the Assyrians to south eastern Nigeria is an embarrassing farce. It defies standard reasoning and as such lacks veracity. How did they make it through the most uninhabitable desert in the Universe; the Sahara which had hindered the Roman, Ottoman, & Macedonian empires from penetrating further than North Africa into sub Saharan Africa? How did they travel over 5000km through the Sahara and yet no account of "wandering" Hebrews or Jews by any of the sephardic populations of northern Africa?. How did the supposed people of "Yahweh" start worshipping , Ani, Amadioha,  Agwu , Ikenga and Owummiri?. It is pertinent to note that Pantheism or belief in numerous gods was alien to Hebrew culture. How come ancient Igbo land was still medieval and had no form of formal education when the supposed jews who instituted the society had attained a certain level of education?.These are important questions which the Igbo "Jews" should ask themselves.
Probably the argument that is used the most as “proof” of a Jewish origin of Igbo people is the fact that they circumcise their infant males:‎ Unfortunately, what they forgot to mention is the fact that circumcision on the 8th day is NOT universal in Igboland. There are places like Afikpo where it could be done as late as the teenage years. Furthermore, the burial of the umblical cord (ili alo) actually has far more significance than circumcision and actually does represent a covenant, between the child and Ani (the Earth deity), as well as the ancestors.
Lastly, the two methods of circumcision are extremely different. Especially since in the Orthodox Jewish circumcision tradition, the mohel (the Jewish priest doing the circumcision rite) performs what is known as metzitzah b'peh, or oral suction, where he takes a mouthful of wine and then puts his mouth around the base of the boy’s penis and uses suction to clean the wound. This is a ritual that is NOT done anywhere in Igboland. ‎
Another claim that is made amongst the Igbo "Jews"is that they share the same dietary customs as those prescribed in the Levitical code. The following is a list of the foods that Igbos traditionally have eaten that are specifically banned in the book of Leviticus:
“Unpure” animals that Igbos eat:
Snail (ejuna), Lizard (Ngwere ), Bush pig ( Ezi ofia/ohia ), Crayfish (Isha/usha) , Crab ( Igbeni , nshiko), Beetle ( ebe), Rabbit (ewi ), Snake (agwo)
‎  My brothers, let us not be fooled by power-thirsty individuals who are ready to mortgage our history for their self aggrandizement. The Igbo race is blessed with rich heritage, which we should embrace and protect from being tossed into the frigid depths of extinction by pursuing this fleeting thrill of Messianism.
Igbo kwenu!

Poems For Review / If You're Reading This, It's Too Late. by chronos: 12:45am On Jun 17, 2017
Chaos looms in the mines of the mind 
I feel the walls caving in
I watch the bricks collide  
Sleep eludes me
Dreams delude me 

Sins from the past 
Trouble the calm of the night 
Lost in the confines of solitude 
I cast a benign glance 
Unto the ends of the earth 
My sight clouded by a raging storm 
Swiveling in the depths of my psyche 
Distorted visions 
A slave to paranoia 

I toss my Rosary into the bin 
Along with faith and fate 
For thy unkind 
Silent in the face of despair 
I seek an end to this pain 

The rubber pills 
Offer fleeting relief 
I feel my lungs deflate 
With each passing breath 
My heart grinds to a deafening halt
I feel the cold grasp of Anubis 

A tiny note in my palm 
Letter from my heart 
I Hope she understands 
Why her son had to go 
The lab results attached 
Tells the story within 
I couldn't live with this pain 
Too big a cross to bear. 

At my grave 
Let a Dirge not be sung 
Nor black robe worn 
Let no one mourn 
Or place petals on my tomb 
For I am gone 
Gone with the tide of the wind
Culture / Re: Alusi: A Study Of Igbo Gods by chronos: 2:23pm On Jun 13, 2017
NDEBUNZE
Ndebunze, or Ndichie, are the deceased ancestors deified into
Alusi. In Odinani, it is believed that the dead ancestors are invisible members of the community; their role in the community, in conjunction with Ala, is to protect the community from epidemics and strife such as famine and small pox.

NJOKU JI
Njoku Ji
Alusi of Yam
Njoku Ji is the guardian deity of the yam for the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria. In parts of Igboland there are still annual rituals in honor of the yam deity known as Ifejioku In some parts children who were dedicated to the service of the deity were named Njoku. As adults such children were expected to become prosperous yam farmers which made them into nobility.

IKENGA
Ikenga
Alusi of Time, Success and Achievement
Planet: Mars
Symbol: Ram’s Horns
Color: Red
Number: 3
Ikenga (Igbo literal meaning “place of strength”) is a horned Alusi (deity) found among the Igbo people in southeastern Nigeria. It is one of the most popular symbols of the Igbo people, and the most common cultural artifact. Ikenga is mostly maintained, kept or owned by men and occasionally by women of high reputation and integrity in the society. It comprises someone’s Chi (personal god), his Ndichie (ancestors), aka Ikenga (right hand), ike (power) as well as spiritual activation through prayer and sacrifice.
Ikenga is specially found among the Northern Igbos of Anambra, Enugu, Delta and some parts of Kogi State. It is exclusively an Igbo symbol. Nevertheless, various peoples of Southern Nigeria have slightly different notions of the components of an individual personality, but all agree that these various aspects can only be affected through ritual and personal effort. Some variants of it are found in Ijaw, Ishan, Isoko, Urhobo and Edo areas. Among the Isoko people, there are three types of personal shrine images: Oma, which represents the “spirit double” that resides in the other world; Obo which symbolizes the right hand and personal endeavor and the lvri which stands for personal determination. In the Urhobo areas it is also regarded as Ivri and in the Edo areas it’s called Ikegobo.
Functions of Ikenga
God of Achievement
Ikenga is a personal god of human endeavor, achievement, success, and victory. Ikenga is grounded in the belief that the power for a man to accomplish things is in his right hand. It also governs over industry, farming, and blacksmithing, and is celebrated every year with an annual Ikenga festival. It is believed by its owners to bring wealth and fortune as well as protection.
God of Time
Two-faced Ikenga is the oldest concept of Ikenga in Igboland. It is a two-faced god, with one face looking at the old year while one face looks at the new year. This is the basis of the oldest and most ancient Igbo calendar. As a god of beginnings, it has the praise name of Ikenga owa ota.

Anyanwu (Igbo: Eye of the Sun) is an Igbo deity that is believed to dwell in the sun. Anyanwu was one of the principal spirits for the Igbo, often associated with Agbara, the holy spirit as they both dwelled in the sun. This deity was seen as the perfect image of what a human should be.
Anyanwu is a surname given to people the Ibo, Igbo ethnic group in Nigeria.

AMADIOHA
Amadioha
Alusi of Thunder and Lightning
Associate: Anyanwu
Planet: Sun
Symbol: White ram
Day: Afor
Color: Red
Amadioha (Igbo literal meaning “free will of the people”) is the Alusi (god) of thunder and lightning of the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria. He is amongst the most popular of Igbo deities and in some parts of Igboland, he is referred to as Amadiora, Kamalu (which is short for Kalu Akanu), Kamanu, or Ofufe. Astrologically, his governing planet is the Sun. His color is red, and his symbol is a white ram. Metaphysically, Amadioha represents the collective will of the people. He is often associated with Anyanwu, who is the Igbo god of the Sun. While Anyanwu is more prominent in northern Igboland, Amadioha is more prominent in the southern part. His day is Afo, which is the third market day of the Igbo four day week.
Origins
Shrines to Amadioha still exist in different parts of Igboland, but the main shrine is located at Ogboro Ama Ukwu or Ihiokpu as it is called in Ozuzu in Etche Local Government Area of present day Rivers State, Nigeria. Although it is located there, it is not the patron deity of the people of Ozuzu. In fact, it is said that Ozuzu is the town in which Amadioha “lives” and it serves as it earthly headquarters. It is from there that it spread to other parts of Igboland.
Functions of Amadioha
God of Justice
Amadioha is first and foremost known as a god of justice. He speaks through thunder, and he strikes with lightning. He creates thunder and lightning by casting “thunderstones” down to earth. Persons judged guilty by Amadioha are either killed by lightning (which leaves a black mark on the forehead) or attacked by a swarm of bees. The property of the victim is usually taken by the priests of Amadioha, and the body is left unburied and the victim unmourned, as the punishment is considered to be a righteous one from God. In some parts of Igboland, Amadioha is used as a curse word. Oaths are often sworn to him, which can carry deadly penalties when broken.
The ritual cleansing for Amadioha is very costly and tasking. The deity can only be appeased by transferring the curse to a live goat that is let loose outside of the walls of the community. The ram is a common offering for him. The priestly clan of Amadioha are known as Umuamadi, which translates to children of Amadioha.
God of Love, Peace and Unity
Besides justice, Amadioha is also a god of love, peace and unity, and is prayed for increase of crops, children in the home, and benevolence. Aside the above manifestations of Amadioha, he represents, as different from most African religious world views, a messianic hope for those in critical situations.
Creator God
Amadioha is also considered to be a creator God. In some traditions, human beings were made by him when he sent a bolt of lightning down to strike a silk cotton tree, which split and revealed a man and a woman.
Consort to Ani
Amadioha is often shown as a husband to Ani, who is the Earth mother. In some Igbo traditions, the pair are said to be the firstAlusi to have been created by Chukwu. The two are often honored with Mbari houses, which were made with mudbrick. Amadioha is typically depicted as a fair-skinned, titled gentleman of cool temper who is the patron of “light skinned Igbos” and “men of exalted rank.” While Ani is considered to be the lawmaker of Igbo society (which is known as Odinani), Amadioha is the enforcer and protector of the law.
God of Carvers
In the play, the Other Side of the Mask, the character Jamike refers to Amadioha as “the god of carvers” and identifies him further as “the god that sends lightning to kill the evil spirits who inhabit the trees from which carvers hew their wood.
Personal Spirit
Amadioha as a personal shrine is a spirit of enterprise that brings wealth. It is also a representative of the head of the household.
Oracle
In precolonial times, the village of Ozuzu turned Amadioha/Kamalu into an oracle called Kamalu Ozuzu. People would travel all over Igboland to visit the oracle in order to settle disputes and for help with crucial decisions. Parties found guilty by the oracle could be sold into slavery.
Proverbs and prayers associated with Amadioha
“Amadioha magbukwa gi” (Amadioha will punish you)
“Chi m le kwee – O wuru si o wuni mere ihea, amadioha magbukwe m” (My god please see- If it is true that I did this thing, let Amadioha Kill me).

ALA
Ala is the earth goddess who is also responsible for morality and fertility and the dead ancestors who are stored in the underworld in her womb. Ala translates to ‘earth’ in Igbo as she is the ground itself, for this reason taboos and crimes are known as nsọ ala, “desecration of Ala”. As the highest Alusi in the Igbo pantheon, she was among the first to be created by Chukwu almighty. Ala is depicted in Mbari temples of the Owerre-Igbo, but smaller shrines are placed in the public squares of communities and in the homes of her devotees.

Culture / Alusi: A Study Of Igbo Gods by chronos: 1:45pm On Jun 13, 2017
ALUSI
Chukwu’s incarnations in the world (Igbo: uwa) are the Alusi. The Alusi, who are also known as Arushi, Anusi or Arusi in differing dialects all spring from Ala the earth goddess who embodies the workings of the world. There are lesser deities in Odinani, each of whom are responsible for a specific aspect of nature or abstract concept. According to Igbo lore, these lesser Alusi, as elements of Chukwu, have their own specific purpose. They exist only as long as their purpose does thus many Alusidie off except for the universally served
Alusi. The top four Alusi of the Igbo pantheon are Ala, Igwe, Anyanwu, and Amadioha (or Kamalu); other less important Alusi exist after these, some depending on the community. They are, Ogwugwu, Urasi or Ulasi, Ichi, Uchu, Iyi, Agwu etc.
