CultureRe: Why Is Witchcraft So Prevalent In Africa? by fayahsoul: 5:38pm On Jan 04, 2009
RichyBlacK:
In the grand scheme of events in our known universe, life is a recent development. Billions of years before life came into existence on earth, our home, the earth, obeyed the gravitational laws that dictated her annual journey around our closest and most important star, the sun. Thermodynamic laws were obeyed by the gases in the earth's atmosphere. And electromagnetic laws were obeyed by light from the sun and the magnetic field of our planet.

That man has discovered some of the laws of nature in the last 3,000 years does not mean that the laws just came into effect.

Man himself (as are all life forms) is a product of the many laws that govern our universe.
I overstand that all matter in corporeality(from subatomic particles to celestial bodies) obey many natural laws; this is obvious. Note also that all observable laws in "classical/newtonian physics" break down at the quantum level and also at the singularity in black holes. That is, There's nothing but chaos at the quantum level. Our cognition is based on order derived from chaos. This fact also entails a supremely intelligent design of corporeality.

Now having said that, i ask again the same questions you have evaded: "How can supreme laws exists in the absence of life/consciousness?" and "What made these "supreme laws" in the first place?"

FYI: that life is a "recent development" in the universe is a nonfactual western pseudo science. How do you define life? Are atoms really inanimate? If so, how can something inanimate obey laws? is there really a "begining of the universe?" if so, what was before that bigbang? is the universe really expanding? if so, does it not require space to expand?

"Supreme laws" are not objective and absolute, they can be altered by human consciousness on which their very existence depends on.
CultureRe: If Your Wife-To-Be Can't Cook by fayahsoul: 12:09am On Jan 04, 2009
First of all, when a question is directed to a particular gender and you happen to be an opposite sex of that gender being addressed, don't make any futile attempt at answering. In doing so, you make ridiculous statements along the lines of: "if i were a man or if i were a woman, i will do so and so". That's an absurd thing to say.

2) Similarly, it doesn't make sense to make statements such as: "if my wife-to-be can't cook but wants to learn how to." This is nonsensical because if she truely wanted to learn, or has any passion in cooking, then her not knowing how to cook wouldn't be an issue since she would have learnt how to do so sometime in the past. And even if she claims to have some interest, or you succeed in convincing her to do so, she will not learn how to make any descent meal because the passion to cook is lacking.

3) And to all those talking mess about how "ambitious" or "goal oriented" females are the most desirable for marriage, to this i say that women should first make a difference in their respective communities before dreaming about changing the world. Women should learn to work together as a group in their various communities by joining heads and hands to contrive ways and means of providing emotional support as well as instruments that help boost the self esteem and confidence of the young ones in their communities. The aggregate effect of such effort will be strickingly noticeable on a national level.

4) A woman that can't cook can be likened to a hummer without a steering; you can touch, feel and see it all you want but that relationship won't go far.

5) Eating is, or ought to be, a sacred thing and a nourishing meal demands time, attention and lots of love.

A woman that can't cook is half a woman and therefore not marriageable. [size=16pt]I'm out!![/size]

hahaha, my dad was a dictator.

When ever he was around everyone behaved and if mama had any negative reports for him about you, you did pray that the sun stood still so that he doesn't return from work that day.

Anyway, in regards to why they may be more protective in foreign lands, i think it has something to do with the possibility of lossing a child in a foreign land; which in igbo land it's somewhat of an abormination for a nwadiala to die in a foreign land.
CultureRe: There Can Never Be Gender Equality. by fayahsoul: 4:43pm On Jan 03, 2009
Feminists live in fantasy.

It all boils down to the age old debate of nature vs. nuture(biological determinism or agents of socialization) which is mere sophism giving that nature dictates the workings of nuture; without nature there's no nuture.

We can all agree that women have a double X chromosome and lack the Y male; the genetic wiring of females makes them naturally endowed to nuture babies and children which demands a lot of time and energy.

The male Y chromosome evolved from the female X chromosome, and prior to that, there were only asexually reproduced females. Females are geneticaly superior to males and they need males to ease the struggle for the reproduction of labour and society. Man was made for woman not woman for man.

The females role in existence is motherhood; a role that is despised and rejected by the modern woman.

Her original duty as mother entails recieving the required resources for child rearing from the male who goes out to seek for it and returns to deposit the acquired necessaries while also providing protection to the continuation of the human lineage.

Men, on average, are physically stronger than females(as bestowed on them by their Y chromosome) hence their role as protector and provider. Their natural role as a bridge to the materials that sustains both mother and child give them a natural upper hand in the governing process in the smallest institution commonly called the family. This fundamental role play is then magnified and reflected in various forms in every social institution within human society.

Let us stop faking the funk and stick to the original program.

Time and space does not exits outside of ones being rather they are created by, and are subjected to, ones being; via a total mass consciouness.

O'boy your just being too damn hypocritical.

Financial capital flight out of black communities and into the communities of other groups is a universal problem in every black nation world wide. We consume everything but produce nothing.

In alkebulan(so-called africa) for example, the wealth is so unevenly distributed and the elite are all self-serving; their benevolence does not extend beyond their extended family and kinsmen. The nigerian elite have enough loot to lift the poor masses out of poverty if they plan and work together(as you suggest the elite AA's do).

The bottom line is that capitalism breeds extreme selfishness and apathy; this in turn is the antithesis of humanism(an alkebulan principle).

I know that Somalians look like us and we share history and landmass and bloodline together, even thouth we have our cultural differences.
But saying some tribes in Nigeria are from Ethiopia or the Horn of Africa is some thing that we Ethiopians don't blieve. We have a long history that goes back before the birth of jesus, and our histoty is written and intact, and there is no mention of any tribes that migrated from Ethiopia to Nigeria or West Africa.
That's because it's the other way round. Civilization spread from south to north and not from north to south as the white devil will have you believe.

The igbos migrated out of biafra and went to the African Great Lakes and Mountains of the moon of East/Central Africa and from there to nubia then to ethiopia and then tamare/kemet/egypt and then to the so-called middle east. They fled back south to the intersect of river niger and benue after a series of invasions by the savage persians and arabs. It was at this time that the nok culture sprang up. The igbos participated in the building of these great civilizations and those before them. The igbos are among the 12 root races(your so-called 12 tribes of israel); that's why we have a very rich gene pool. For every group on terra/earth there are some igbos that bear resemblance to them.

However, the igbo's are not related to every modern day ethiopian or sudanese or ugandan group.

The igbos are a very very very! ancient people; a father to many modern day groups.

Christianity EtcRe: Olumba Olumba Obu - Ooo by fayahsoul: 6:52pm On Dec 20, 2008
Hmmm, this report below raises questions about this "brotherhood."

Bishops Fight Olumba
The crisis in the Brotherhood has deepened as Olumba Olumba Obu is dragged to the police station, the first time he would step out of the sect’s premises in 53 years

By Obong Akpaekong

The crisis currently rocking the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is deepening. Four bishops of the Calabar-based sect are up in arms against Olumba Olumba Obu, the sole spiritual head of the church and Rowland, his first son, whom he purportedly named as his successor. The bishops said Rowland has introduced “unwholesome” practices and teachings in the church. They also said Rowland now answers Olumba Olumba Obu, which he is not. The bishops also dragged Olumba to the police on this matter.

The bishops, namely Cyrinus O. Akpan, Asukwo Ekanem, Okpalla Williams and Matthew Ejedawe are unhappy with the “holy father” for appointing his son as the chairman of the Brotherhood executive council and head of the church instead of one of the bishops or Ibum, his first daughter, who are grounded in the affairs and teachings of the church.

The angry bishops have now pulled out of the Calabar headquarters of the sect to establish their own faction in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital. Newswatch learnt that the battle between the bishops and Rowland has torn the church into a brotherhood of discord. Each group now tries to woo members to its own fold. For instance, in Akwa Ibom State , ownership of the church buildings is being hotly contested by the factions while campaign for loyalty of church members has heightened tension.

Besides, the two groups are also struggling to get hold of the updated version of the certificate of trustee of the church, now with the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, Abuja . The bishops, who spoke to Newswatch said the children of Olumba have now taken divine titles that are unscriptural. For instance, Rowland is now said to answer “king of kings and lord of lords” while Ibum answers “Queen Mother.” Ajah, one of Olumba’s daughters has the title “Supreme Mother” while another called Onoghen is addressed as “Blessed Mother.”

Ekanem, one of the bishops told Newswatch that the titles are even against the original teachings of Olumba and are being frowned against by the congregation. Ekanem also said Rowland had introduced sacrifices into the sect’s practices. According to him, goats, fowls and other animals are now being slaughtered on regular basis in the church premises for ritual purposes. Ekanem insisted that the practice is ungoldly and not in consonance with Olumba’s teachings.

Newswatch also learnt that Rowland has now turned the church’s 144,000 Virgins into a worldly gang. The Virgins are boys and girls who usually sit in the vestry to sing the praise of Olumba. They were supposed to be pure and holy. Ogar Osim is said to be the leader of the 144,000 Virgins.

But Ekanem said they are now “known to be committing immorality among themselves.” He accused them of stubbornness and disobedience. He also said they have become highly materialistic. “They are highly carnal,” he said.

Lovina Amagala Iburene, an ex-member of the church, even said that the so-called virgins nearly beat to death one “Sister Maria.”

The 85-year-old Olumba, who is said to have now turned blind appointed Rowland, his first son, his successor, head of administration and chairman of the church’s executive council in April 2001. The appointment sparked protest and counter protests. The bishops and some members said Rolwand was almost a stranger to the Brotherhood Kingdom as he had not been involved in the fellowship long enough.

A large number of the members rallied round Rowland. Others were behind Ibum, and the bishops. The polarisation of the Brotherhood membership resulted in violent clashes between Rowland’s supporters and those of Ibum and the bishops. Machetes and other dangerous weapons were freely used in the fights, which took place within the 34, Ambo Street , Calabar premises of the sect and the surrounding Streets. Many people were wounded, with some spending several weeks receiving treatment in hospitals.

The crisis split Olumba’s children into two camps. Obu Olumba Obu who is a bishop, and Olumba’s second son, for instance, pitched tent with the elder sister and the other bishops. The crisis eventually led to the bishops and Ibum, fleeing from Calabar to Uyo.

The new Brotherhood headquarters in Uyo, is located somewhere behind the University of Uyo . Ibum lives within the premises of the church. Some members defected from the Pentecostal centre along the town’s Ekpenyong Street , to join them. The bishops’ faction of the Brotherhood is also springing up in many states, townships and villages in parts of the country. Newswatch learnt that efforts are being made to take the new Brotherhood to other African countries as well as Europe and America . Ekanem, however, told Newswatch that their faction of the Brotherhood still worships the same Olumba who he said is God-incarnate.

The 144,000 Virgins of the church, however, pitched their tent with Rowland. On June 29, they addressed a press conference on the crisis ,at the No. 3, Akobi Crescent , Surulere, Lagos cathedral of Brotherhood. Rowland, earlier said to be the one to address the conference was represented by Joseph Dike, a “senior Christ servant,” who came in from Calabar. Dike read to the journalists an 18-page document entitled: “BCS - The True Perspective,” which traced the history of Brotherhood, spoke about its doctrines and told the story of the crisis. It blamed the crisis on Akpan, Ekanem, Ejedawe and Williams. The bishops were accused of inciting the members to rebel against the authority of Olumba and Rowland. They were accused of trying to put their names in the Brotherhood trustees council without consulting Olumba.

The Virgins said Olumba in November 1991, gave Rowland the divine titles of king of kings and lord of lords,” and Ibum that of “Queen mother.” Olumba was also said to have, on May 27, 1997 , summoned Brotherhood workers worldwide to 34, Ambo Street , and presented Rowland as the “Christ of God in His Second Advent.” He was also said to have directed that Rowland would from that time be known as Olumba Olumba Obu, explaining that these were Rowland’s names at birth. Olumba was also said to have introduced a new sitting arrangement in Brotherhood with Rowland sitting on his right and Ibum on his left.

The bishops, the Virgins said, did not like all these. “They then started grouping behind Ibum to checkmate him.” The journalists were also told at the conference how the bishops tried to introduce certain practices considered to have been at variance with Olumba’s teachings. They were, for instance, said to have asked for permission to wear skullcaps as is worn by bishops in other religious folds. They were also said to have demanded to sit separate from the congregation and to even sit with the Virgins, and Olumba on the altar. The Virgins claimed the bishops demanded that people who wanted to meet with Olumba should pass through them.

The Virgins also accused the bishops of publishing standing orders conveying executive powers on Ibum, which enabled her take certain actions and even ordered a re-screening of the Virgins, a directive they said Olumba alone could give.

Rowland had, in an earlier interview with Newswatch, accused the bishops of trying to scatter the Brotherhood after his father appointed him head of Brotherhood administration. He said the bishops would have preferred Ibum who, he said, would be easy to control. He also accused the bishops of trying to hijack the trusteeship of Brotherhood. Rowland insisted that the bishops, who he described as rebels were dismissed by his father for their roles in the sect’s crisis. He, however, denied that animals were sacrificed in the church.

Akpan, who had earlier spoken to Newswatch on the crisis in Brotherhood and the clash between Rowland’s supporters and those of the bishops and Ibum at the Brotherhood headquarters in April last year refused to comment on the allegations made against the bishops by the Virgins when Newswatch called on him in Uyo.

But Ekanem reacted sharply. “The bishops are not responsible for crisis in the Brotherhood. Rowland is, he told Newswatch. Rowland, according to him, did not receive Olumba’s backing in all the actions he has taken in the Brotherhood. He said contrary to the claim by the Virgins that the bishops feared that Olumba was ageing and schemed how to take over Brotherhood, it was Olumba’s children, particularly Rowland and Ajah, who nursed the fear and wanted to take over to secure Brotherhood property and estates. Ekanem said he and the other bishops had already become wealthy people before joining the Brotherhood. He said Ejedawe, an engineer, built Nicon Noga Hotel in Abuja and was the first manager of Nicon Property. He said the bishop was responsible for the development of most physical structures of BCS. Ekanem said as Olumba’s overseas representative, he spent a lot of his personal money in setting up Brotherhood centres in parts of the world including Newark , New Jersey and Brooklyn , all in the United States of America . Williams was said to have donated the secretariat, and the worship hall, among other structures, at the Calabar headquarters.

“I do not see any of the bishops having interest in Brotherhood property or money. We are interested in promoting the kingdom,” he said. Ekanem said Olumba offered him salvation when he joined Brotherhood in 1970 and he decided to stick to him and to draw many others worldwide to embrace the good thing found in a black man.

The bishops are insisting that Olumba did not make his son head of Brotherhood. They said as sole spiritual head of BCS, Olumba cannot have a deputy or successor during his lifetime. “Leader O.O. Obu is the only “king of kings” and “lord of lords” that we know. The father, son and the holy spirit are all in him,” Ekanem said. He argued that Rowland, being human cannot answer the title of “king of kings” and “lord of lords,” nor can he be “God the son.”

He said members of Brotherhood were also not happy with Olumba’s children for the divine titles they had taken. They argued that they were human beings full of faults and could not merit such titles.

Ekanem also denied that the bishops ever wanted to put on the skullcap as alleged by the Virgins. He said Olumba was always teaching his followers to be humble, adding that the bishops would not have sought for any exalted sitting arrangement that did not come from Olumba.

Ekanem also denied allegations that Olumba dismissed them from Brotherhood. There is no dismissal or suspension in Brotherhood. We left on our own to further Olumba’s instructions and preserve his teachings,” he told Newswatch.

The retired navy captain recently published a 48-page book entitled “Beware, Judgment Has Started in the Kingdom.” In the book, he traced the origin of the Brotherhood crisis. He insisted that Olumba is God and persuaded Brotherhood members to pitch their tents with Ibum and the bishops. He claimed Olumba predicted the split in the church during a message he gave to his followers on Easter Monday, 2000.

In the book, which Ekanem is still distributing to members of the Brotherhood and the public, he said Olumba chose Ibum to administer Brotherhood not Rowland. “The father had issued out a circular on 13th October, 2000 stating his preference for carrying the administration of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. He appointed Ibum Olumba Obu, the Queen Mother, to do the administration for him,” the book stated. The book claimed that Olumba announced Ibum’s position on the 25th of October, 2000 . He claimed it was on this day that those who did not want Ibum to head Brotherhood administration started a revolt.

Williams, in a separate interview with Calabar-based journalists was also quoted as saying the bishops quit 34, Ambo Street for the safety of their lives. “If you threaten a human, he will run for his life,” he said. Williams said Rowland was not the recognised leader of Brotherhood, because, according to him, Rowland was not anointed for such job by Olumba.

As for the Virgins, Ekanem said they were hardly virgins. He accused them of committing immorality among themselves. He said they were stubborn and disobedient and that unlike the Christ witnesses and students, another set of youngsters serving full-time in the Brotherhood kingdom, the Virgins were very materialistic. He said many of them had radio and television sets in their hostels and were listening to music all the time. He accused them of wearing very costly materials. “They are carnal, he insisted. Ekanem said on one occasion, Olumba asked him to speak to or advise them to put away disobedience, carnality and worldliness from their midst. He said the body was set up by Rowland to challenge and malign Olumba, noting that the youngsters did not know much about Brotherhood, let alone address a press conference on the crisis within the organisation.

Iburene, a former evangelist of BCS who claimed to have been Olumba’s representative in Lagos and some other places while she was in the organisation, also descended heavily on the Virgins. She sent a four-page letter to Newswatch the week the Virgins addressed the press, saying they did not know Olumba well enough or his son, Rowland to speak to the press about them. Iburene also accused them of disobedience, noting that Olumba has been preaching against their lifestyles and lamenting that parents sent their disobedient children to him. She, however, said a few of them, personally selected by Olumba, were good.

Iburene also said there were quite a number of bullies among the “virgins” and that in 1999, they insulted and almost beat up Williams. Their action, she said, infuriated Olumba, who asked them to apologise but they refused. She said they later apologised when Olumba threatened to send them back to their parents. She alleged that the Virgins in 1998 nearly beat to death one “Sister Maria,” a member of the church she claimed sold the plot of land Brotherhood erected a building for the “virgins” on the 34, Ambo Street premises.

Maria’s offence, according to her was that she invited a female visioner to a feast held in her residence who described them as “agents of the devil.” According to Iburene, Olumba and Rowland practically begged the lady not to take the matter to the police.

Iburene said Deji Ayinde, a Lagos lawyer and pastor of the Akobi Crescent Cathedral and Mercy Ute Ushede, a deaconess of the church and Olumba’s Lagos representative who co-ordinated the press conference, were ignorant of Olumba’s evil nature. She argued that the bishops and their supporters were not the ones sowing seeds of discord in the church, but that the time had come for God to expose Olumba and his work.

Iburene, who claims she accepted Jesus before leaving Brotherhood now runs the Truth Transport Evangelical Ministry, based in Badagry, Lagos State. She claimed that God called her out of Brotherhood to, among other things, expose evil perpetrated in the Brotherhood Kingdom as well as the evil nature of Olumba. She had earlier written two books proclaiming that Olumba was God and calling on the world to worship him. She said she wrote the book out of ignorance.

But Ogar Osim, leader of the Virgins, denied that the Virgins were immoral or troublesome.

Ibum is said to be in possession of Brotherhood accounts and documents in major Nigerian banks namely First Bank, Union Bank and United Bank for Africa , UBA. She is also said to be keeping the cheque books of Brotherhood’s London account. She pulled out of the church soon after her father gave her power of attorney to supervise Brotherhood property, take charge and operate Brotherhood accounts on his behalf in a letter signed by Olumba on March 28, 2001 . She did not return the books of accounts.

Newswatch learnt that her refusal to return the accounts books to the father has put the Calabar group in serious cash squeeze situation. Rowland told Newswatch that he had taken her to court to hand over the accounting books. But the case is yet to be decided.

This is not the only matter the Brotherhood brethren are sorting out in the court of law. Ibum is also said to have been taken to court to give information on the sect’s landed property and estates worldwide. She had been in charge of all these during her days as general secretary of the Brotherhood.

The police in Calabar recently invited Olumba to their headquarters on Diamond Hill area of the town in their attempt to resolve the issue of trusteeship of the Brotherhood. This was when officials of the Corporate Affairs Commission went to the city to verify the claims of the two Brotherhood factions on the membership of the trustee council. They were said to have requested that the meeting hold outside 34, Ambo Street . The bishops were also said to have made the same request to the police. Rowland, Newswatch learnt, informed his father and later drove him in a Nissan Quest car to the police headquarters. This is said to have been the first time in 53 years that Olumba would have left Brotherhood premises.

News quickly spread around that the man who many believed was long dead or gone blind was in the police station. A large crowd was said to have gathered outside the police station to catch a glimpse of the man. The police later issued a statement denying responsibility for that exposure of Olumba, whom many saw as humiliating. The bishops’ faction also denied responsibility for the action.

The dispute over Brotherhood council of trustees has been on for five years. The Corporate Affairs Commission registered Brotherhold of the Cross and Star as a religious organisation in 1957. Over the years, three of the four registered trustees died, leaving only Olumba.

There are two versions of the story on the attempt to replace the three dead members of the trustees. Rowland claimed that the bishops, had without due consultations with Olumba, tried to replace the names of deceased trustees with Cyrinus Akpan, Okpalla Williams and M.O. Ejedawe.

He said they connived with officials of the Cross River State Social Welfare Division and some officials of the Corporate Affairs Commission to affect the fraud. The plan, according to him, leaked before the certificate was issued. They were stopped and the certificate was not issued.

But Akpan and Ekanem claimed Olumba had in 1998, nominated Akpan as representative of Brotherhood members from Akwa Ibom, Williams as representative of Igbo-speaking Nigerians in Brotherhood and Ejedawe as representative of Nigerians from other tribes in the trustee council to replace the trustee members who had died.

They said Rowland learnt about it and approached his father to put his name but his father refused to do it. Rowland was said to have later prepared a separate list of board of BCS trustees for the commission, which had 12 names including those of all Olumba’s nine siblings. The list was said to have been put aside by the commission.

Ekanem said soon after this, (1998) the trustee application form disappeared for several months from the Corporate Affairs Commission offices. When it was eventually found, the Corporate Affairs Commission officials started fresh investigations into the controversy surrounding the trusteeship. He said the commission eventually declared that even though there was crisis in Brotherhood, Olumba’s nomination for the trustee council was for real. The commission has, however, not released the certificate till today.

The Brotherhood crisis is already causing a lot of concern to the organisation’s members within and outside the country. Last Tuesday, Parkson Edjeketa, who until a couple of months ago, was Brotherhood’s missionary in Norway , walked into Newswatch ‘s newsroom in Lagos and lamented that the crisis was giving Brotherhood too much negative publicity. Edjeketa, a member of Universal New-World Missionary Crusade Fellowship, Brotherhood’s foreign service wing, however, argued that the problem the church was passing through was no crisis.

Edjeketa, who belongs to the Calabar faction described what was happening in Brotherhood as “separation of the sheep from the goats. “He described the bishops as rebels saying they did not know what they were doing. Edjeketa said although some weak members of Brotherhood may have quit during the period, many members of the church had been strengthened in their faith. Edjeketa described Olumba as “God of the universe.” He said Olumba will never die. Edjeketa said at the appointed time, the crisis will come to an end.

It is in line with my intuition, our history and time cycles.

and his face does look familiar, don't know were i have seen it though.

I must find out who this man truely is.

Does he have a biological father?



WHO IS THIS MAN, OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU?

The readers digest Universal dictionary defines God as a Being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions.

The Holy Bible, on the other hand, tells us that God is a Spirit; and they that worship Him must do so in spirit and in truth. John 4: 24. Our Lord Jesus Christ talked about the spirit as the one to lead humankind to the truth (John 15: 26. But when the Comforter (Helper) comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify of me and He knows that of all things in existence, the Holy Spirit is most perfect.

The qualities of the Spirit include: LOVE, PEACE, JOY, PATIENCE, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, AND TEMPERANCE – Galatians 5: 22;

From these texts mentioned above namely:


John 4: 24

Galatians 5: 22

John 15: 26

One acknowledges that no one can possess these qualities or attributes except God. God is not man, tree, mountain, water, air etc. He is Spirit. Any person you come across who is without blemish (perfect) is God and Spirit at the same time.

There has arrived on the world stage "An Entity", looking as an ordinary human being in every way, but extremely mysterious in other aspect. His name is OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU. He was born in Biakpan, Cross River State of Nigeria on 30th December 1918. His birth had been announced, according to Biakpan oral history, over 400 years ago, when a mysterious man in white shorts and shirt wrote "O. O. O" on the body of a dead man and the man came back to life. The mysterious man then disappeared. More recently, His birth was announced in Fatima, Portugal by an angelic apparition which handed a written announcement of the birth of O O O for onward transmission to the Pope. Of course, Vatican has refused to publish the announcement.

Events Tell who O. O. O. Is:

Three day old baby O. O. O gave sight to a blind woman who held Him in her arms during the traditional embrace of a newborn baby. Four year old O. O. O raised the dead. He prayed and the body of a dead woman in her village, and she immediately resurrected.

In the beginning was the Word and Word was with God and the Word was God. John 1: 1-5. Leader Olumba Olumba Obu as is followe His followers call Him, makes and unmakes with HIS WORD. Who is that Being who will just pronounce something and it happens as He says?

What do you call a Being who tells people who have gone round the world’s hospitals looking for children, "Go, I have given you children",

and instantly they start having children. There are thousands of such. Someone comes crying that he is owing and this Being says:

"Go, I have repaid your debts" and the person on reaching home receives a letter or phone call acknowledging receipt of a cheque defraying his debt yet he the debtor issued no cheque.

Can the world tell me the origin of a Being to whom you go with all sorts of problems and He says:

"Go, All Is Well",

and as you get home, everything becomes well just as He pronounced.

-2-

Yes tell me which other human born of woman will just look at you and all the sickness and diseases in you vanish on the spot, yes, just mere looking at you. In fact He does not need to look at you because once you set your eyes on Him (His Red Garment), everything is made well with you.

Yes, here is a brother who qualified as a medical doctor in July 1971 more than 27 years ago in Bonn, Germany and practised there for a couple of years. He practised in Ghana, went over to Brazil (South America) and the Middle East (Lebanon and Israel), came to England for post-graduate Studies in Tertiary hospitals in London and University of London, was almost blind, paralysed, walking with aid of walking stick. This Being has forgiven this brother of his sins and healed him of his infirmities when this brother set his eyes on this Being. This makes the worldly doctors to marvel at this wondrous healing. This Brother is no other person than the writer of this article.

A group of villagers went to this Being to complain that the river in their area, their only means of livelihood as fishermen, were being overtaken and blocked by sand. This Being blessed them and said, "Go, I have cleared the sand", yes, they arrived home the next day to find the river flowing as always and no traces of sand. Tell me, who else has the POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD. When He speaks, the air stands, He speaks again and the wind blows. He speaks and the sun shines. He speaks again and the sun ceases to shine.

The power of HIS WORDS and the authority of His teachings reveal Him. He can never be compared with any man, He is the truth, and the Truth does not change. His teachings are consistent. He can never be compared with any man ever born of woman who has manifested on this earth place. He appears lavishly in the dream to all men of goodwill all over the world. People pass Him on the way and deal with Him everyday all over the world without knowing He is the one. He has manifested in various forms in different places at the same time. In the Kingdom of fish, He is fish. In the Kingdom of birds He is a bird, He is an ant, He is a tree, a rock, and in the plane of humans, He manifests as a man, a beggar, a leper in any form, as a small child, as a man as well as a woman.

He teaches and practices LOVE. How many Popes, Archbishops or reverends or whoever have you ever heard say "I am making this pronouncement from the Highest heavens". Do they know the meaning of heaven not to talk of the highest heaven? These people claim to know Jesus the Christ and represent Him, yet they teach people to do penance so that they will go to heaven when they die whereas our Lord Jesus teaches that if you obey Him and practise His teachings, you will not die. Jesus did not teach that death leads to heaven (glory) because it is sin that leads to death. He teaches that death can be overcome through practice of His words.

After each worship, after each lecture or Bible Class Studies, you hear Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, say "Let My Peace and Blessings abide with the entire world, now and forever more". Amen. If you are not the author of peace, how can you dare utter such words? Who else blesses with the two outstretched hands?

What Are His Characteristics?

Leader Olumba Olumba Obu had existed before the world was formed. Daniel 7: 9:

"……………and the ancient of days did sit and the hair of his head like pure wool".

In Revelation 1: 13-15:

"…………, And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of Man………

His hairs were like wool. His eyes as flame of fire….

His name is called the WORD OF GOD.

Further more, in Rev. 19: 16:

…………….And He has on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, King of Kings and

Lord of Lords" and refers to what the Prophet stated in Isaiah 9: 6.


-3-

"For unto us a child is born; for unto us a son is given; and the government shall be on His shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace".

It also refers to that statement in Rev. 12: 5: and she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up unto God, and to His throne".

Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, a perfect, omnipotent and omniscient, originator and ruler of the Universe, that is the only one with the name Sole spiritual Head of the Universe asks,

Who among men can do the works that I am doing now"?

Is there a government, church, organisation, society, angel or spirit that can do these works?

Baptism of the Holy Ghost:

According to our Lord Jesus Christ: Mark 16: 16-18:

"He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned, and these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name they shall cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover". These signs do follow even little infants baptised in the Brotherhood of the cross and Star, Christ Spiritual School of Practical Christianity, the Kingdom of God which our Lord Jesus Christ taught us to pray for it, "let thy Kingdom come" Matt. 6: 10 established by Leader Olumba Olumba Obu. He has instituted baptism of the Holy Ghost as the mode of admission into this School. Since these signs follow whoever gets baptised in BCS, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu must therefore, be the man of God, John the Baptist foretold that would come to institute baptism of the Holy Ghost.

He is the Lion of Judah, since He alone can open the Holy Book and explain the contents thereof. He is a test that many of us have made on Leader Olumba Olumba Obu. When He cites a section of the Bible, and jumping quickly to read, a totally different part of the bible, He quickly stops the reader and corrects them. Not a single teacher, catechist, evangelist, priest or pastor remembers ever seeing Leader Olumba Olumba Obu in his church or Sunday class. He had less than three years of attendance at primary school which He hardly sat in since there was nothing the teacher could teach Him. He therefore must be a Supernatural Teacher. That is why He has such a mysterious and perfect command of the Bible, when the Bible says:

"No man on earth and in heaven is able to read and understand the Bible except the Lion of Judah". Genesis 49: 8-11, states:

"Judah, your brothers will praise you, you hold your enemies by the neck. Your

brothers will bow down before you Judah is like a lion, killing his victim and

returning to his den, stretching out and lying down no one dares disturb him.

Judah will hold the royal sceptre and his descendants will always rule nations will

Bring him tribute and bow in obedience before him. He has his young donkey to a

Grapevine, to the very best of the vines. He washes his clothes in blood red wine".

Isaiah 63: 1-6: states:

"Who is this coming from the city of Edom? Who is this so splendidly dressed in red, marching

along in power and strength, it is the Lord, powerful to save, coming to announce his victory. Why

is his clothing so red like that of a man who tramples grapes to make wine?

The Lord answers "I have trampled the nations like grapes and no one can help me. I trampled them in my anger and their blood has stained all my clothing". I decided that was the time to punish their enemies. I was amazed when I looked and saw that there was no one to help me. But my anger made me strong, and I won the victory myself. In my anger I trampled upon nations and shattered them. I poured out their life blood on the ground".

Further references are:

Revelation 19: 11 – end

Revelation 7: 9 – end

Revelation 3: 4-5

Matthew 6: 9-11/

Leader Olumba Olumba Obu is neither Adam, nor Abraham, nor Moses, nor Elijah, nor John the Baptist nor our Lord Jesus Christ nor Peter nor Paul, but from the horse’s own mouth "I am that I am".

He has been preaching the Word of God. He practises the Word of God. These godly virtues are found in him: Humility, Honesty, Truth, Goodness, Kindness, Righteousness, Faithfulness, Meekness, Gentleness and Self-control.

He has opened the Holy Bible. He has closed and re-opened it. He has emptied it and turned it upside down. He has revealed the contents, He has practised and has taught you and me LOVE, What then remains? Every person testifies that Leader Olumba Olumba Obu preaches the real WORD OF GOD, practices the WORD, and that He is a real man of God. Yes, that is His qualification.

Search throughout the world, and mention any person who can open and read and practice the contents of the book. Adam came to the world, married a wife, but because of fornication (sexual immorality) both of them fell out of the grace of God. Both John the Baptist and our Lord Jesus Christ came and had no wives, yet could not practise the Word of God.

Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, the Sole Spiritual Head of the Universe has come with brothers, sisters, and every other thing. But he is able to practise the Word to the satisfaction of everybody. Somebody going to remain at a place for a short time goes with only a briefcase, but a person who goes to live in a place as his final home, must go there bag and baggage.

Our Lord Jesus Christ had only 12 Apostles, but consider the present situation where Leader O. O. O have many Apostles and disciples in all states of the Federation of Nigeria, and in India, Britain, America and all parts of the world. He has come to teach man to the accurate knowledge of the truth, He has come to transform man to the ways of God, He has come to establish the Kingdom of God on earth. He has come by Himself sending no one else, He has come to die no more. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and He shall reign forever and ever. Amen.

THANK YOU FATHER.

CultureRe: Why Is Witchcraft So Prevalent In Africa? by fayahsoul: 11:05pm On Dec 19, 2008
It's all about sound.

As your holy texts say: In the begining was the "word".

Every substance dances to a particular cosmic rythm(called strings by physicists); this dance produces the distinct form of the substance. If the rythm changes the form changes.

The shape, size, colour and other primary and secondary properties of a substance can be changed with an appropriate/key sound. This appropriate sound can make the subatomic particles of the substance in question to change vibration and bonding partterns to produce a new substance that looks different. This is how the great pyramids were built.

Some individuals with indept knowledge of the esoteric occult sciences do have the ability to protect or harm people by appeasing the false "Gods" with animal/human blood(the most precious liquid the Gods love so much) and other items. They can also dematerialize and transmutate by meditating on, or speaking/chanting, the "key" sound(s). No lie. They can alter natural laws. Like rain makers can make rain fall during a drought. But overstand also that the grandmasters have decreased over time and much of whats left is 33 degrees out of 360 degrees of the initial nubian esotericism; that's why they say people use 10% of our brain power. This powers used to be used for good during positive time cycles. Today it is in the hands of the wicked.

All those gods in greek mythology and religious Gods were nubians who were deep into esoteric occultic sciences. They had rituals that prolonged their lives.

We have not begone to scratch the surface of sound technology.

By the way, the wealthiest people on terra/earth are all great sorcerers; money itself is witchcraft.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Is It That Witches, Wizards And Demons Never Attack Atheist? by fayahsoul: 7:44pm On Dec 19, 2008
Time is not linear it moves in cycles; positive and negative cycles, depending on the positioning of celestial bodies.

In this current time cycle of lethargy that is controled by false "Gods"(i.e yaweh, allah, jehova, krishna etc), terra/earth is like a human farm; a farm were hue-mans are grown and their negative energies(in the form of physical/emotional/ psychological pain) are harvested by these false "Gods" for food/sustainance. Ever wonder why your biblical or koranic "Gods" did all the cursing and killing and not the so-called "devil'? still wondering why so-called nigerians are very religious yet damn corrupt?

As above so below.

We are corrupt because the "Gods" are corrupt. These same "Gods" become benevolent, and just, in the subsequent time cycle of illumination. These "false Gods" derive pleasure and sustainance in our misery just like we do when we engage in so-called guilty pleasures(i.e drinking alcohol that damages and causes pain to the "living conscious" liver cells or killing animals for food)

Whites/arabs/semites/asians(non-melanites) are the physical manifestation of the negative aspect of "God"; the antithesis of black. In this cycle of lethargy they are used as earthly vessels to physically construct global superstructures(the matrix) that upholds the will of the false "Gods". They either have no soul or their soul is not fully seated in their partly or fully calcified pineal glands and that's why the so-called atheist in the industrialized countries don't experience "demonic" attacks. They are human artificial; that is, zombies. They are already dead.

The nubians on the other hand, are the oldest people who incarnated during the positive cycle, they are the physical manifestation of the positive aspect of "God". Nubia(or africa) is the true holy land and it is the oldest land inhabitated by humans. It does not drift like the other continents. The true meridian is in kemetic not greenwich. Nubia, as the oldest land, has the highest concentration of spirit beings both good and bad that are easily channeled through the heavily melanited bodies of nubians. Demons can steal "God" information or knowledge from their melanited bodies.

In this current time cycle, the demonic beings are dominant but we are also exiting this cycle.
FashionRe: Wigs, Weaves And Perms Symbolize Self Hate by fayahsoul(op): 6:18pm On Dec 13, 2008
Today is an 8; the number representing the karmic law/justice: day: 1 + 3 = 4, month: 1 + 2 = 3, year: 2 + 0 + 0 + 8 = 10. 4 + 3 + 10 = 1 + 7 = 8. It you tilt the symbol 90 degrees you get -the infinity symbol. Karma is an eternal law

I will leave this thread with three messages:
1)
-Some Hebraic study for our hypocritical christians and muslims and "jews" and, well, other religious folk:

"A righteous man hateth lying(fakery): but a wicked man(self-hating man/woman) is loathsome(psychological malady), and cometh to shame(exposure)."
                                                                                                                 -proverbs13:5

"The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment"
                                                                                                                 -psalm37:30

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown(kingly/kinky hair/9) of

righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day(four years

left): and not to me only, but unto all them(godd/goddesses) also that love his appearing

(wooly hair, skin of brass - Revelation 1:13-16) ."--2 Timothy 4:7-8


2)
Self-hating practices, such as wearing wigs, weaves and perms,  is the signal of an absence of revolution and or evolution. These sistas are into feminism; they reject motherhood as they try to emulate the trinity(God the father, the son and ?, what about God the mother?) and white folk who are just air heads, but to the fake sista they are the standard of which excellence is measured.

Nonetheless, like i said, this is not a game; i do not play around. As a matter of fact wig/weave snatching will soon become common. That's right, your little stinking toupees will be snatch right out of your chicken heads pretty soongrin . So, you need to overstand that having laid down the logic behind program, the next stage of the program is to practicalized the logic.

3)
I know that what i have said will remain etched in the minds of the wise and the self haters too. How the message will be interpreted will of course vary; as we have seen thus far.

Got to give a shout out to the goddess and all comrades who showed sign. I see you. Ebeano.

Henceforth, I will not be responding to any replies.

enough said.

nde ewo nu!
