holla back if it,

A University convocation lecturer is expected to make fundamental statements for the progress of society. Indeed, the occasion is not for generalized comments that add nothing to nothing. Rather, it is an apt opportunity to take a hard look at society, point to its most problematic areas and take a stand.
The lecturer who may be harassed thereafter by those he indicted need not worry for as long as he has made his point succinctly without mincing words bearing in mind the verdict of history.
In 2004, I attempted to do so as the 38th Convocation Lecturer of the University of Maiduguri where I opined that the main reason why development was eluding Nigeria was because its political class was ceaselessly behaving “like a child born drunk”.
As Director-General of the government owned Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) at the time, the ruling party pressed hard for my removal. I cannot really put my hands on why it didn’t happen but looking back now some 6years later, it is obvious that I was so accurate that if I had opted to be a soothsayer, the occupation would have turned me into a millionaire with many people trooping in to inquire about their lives and the future. Saying things as they are can therefore be quite rewarding.
Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido, may have thought likewise on November 27, 2010; when he spoke on ‘Growth prospects for the Nigerian economy’ at the convocation of the Igbinedion University, Okada. Lamido asserted that the nation’s economy would not develop if the Federal Government did not reduce its cosmetic expenditures.
What irked Sanusi the most was his discovery that 25 per cent of federal ‘spending’ was being consumed by the National Assembly.  A few days later, the Minister of finance, Olusegun Aganga allegedly said he had personally raised the same issue in the past adding that a committee on expenditure review was currently working on it.
The minister reportedly said that “we know the issue and we are on top of it. There are changes which we will have to make; there could be tough issues but we have to make them with human face” When invited by the Senate on the subject, Minister Aganga denied these quotations. Perhaps the mischievous media planted them into his press briefing. But for Sanusi Lamido, there was nothing to apologize about.
The argument that the 25per cent he quoted concerns recurrent expenditure or overheads and not the entire federal government spending was puerile. Why would a single body expropriate one quarter of any public resource irrespective of how it is titled? Secondly, it is hard to sustain the charge by the senate that Lamido deliberately misled Nigerians when he merely quoted the Budget office.
Lamido’s comment on profligacy in the legislature was also not new because renowned law Professor, Itse Sagay had earlier in July revealed that Nigerian lawmakers were the highest paid in the globe. For a senator to earn N240 million ($1.7 million) in salaries and allowances while his counterpart in the House of Representatives earns about N204 million ($1.45 million) per annum, was according to Sagay “negative and a breach of public trust”.
He premised his findings on the fact that an American senator “earns $174, 000 while a UK parliamentarian earns about $64, 000 per annum.
Interestingly, Lamido and Sagay may have under quoted using only official figures. What the legislators get when unofficial items are added would certainly surpass 25 percent. Anyone who reads prolific writers like Reuben Abati will encounter statements like that our law-makers are overpaid and underworked.
The only time they are vocal is when they are hustling for jumbo pay and allowances or when bribed to impeach someone.
In the states, legislators are perpetually fighting the Governors for more money. Most lawmakers are usually absent from duty, running after and making dubious political and financial deals and busy chasing contracts in government departments or peddling influence around town, or harassing companies and MDAs over which they exercise oversight functions.
Anytime they visit MDAs, it is actually to blackmail and collect money from hapless civil servants. In short, the Global Coordinators of Champions For Nigerian Organizations says a legislator’s salary has the under listed components:
Basic Salary (BS)  2,484245.50
Hardship Allowance  @ 50% of BS  1242122.70
Constituency allowance @ 200% of BS  4968509.00
Furniture Allowance @ 300% of BS 7452736.50
Newspaper allowance @  50% of BS1242122.70
Wardrobe allowance @ 25% of BS 621061.37
Recess Allowance @ 10% of BS 248424.55
Accommodation @ 200% of BS 4968509.00
Utilities @ 30% of BS 828081.83
Domestic Staff @ 75%  of BS 1863184.12
Entertainment @ 30% of BS 828081.83
Personal Assistants @ 25% of BS 621061.37
Veh. Maintenance Allowance @ 75% of BS1863 184.12
Leave Allowance @10% of BS                        248424.55
Based on the above, the Coordinator of the group Akintokunbo Adejumo suggested a part –time legislature that sits for no more than 30 days a year. According to him, there is no reason why a country half the size of the State of Texas should have as many legislators as the whole of the United States.
Meanwhile, those of us in the media who have a duty to set an agenda for the nation need to publicize Sanusi Lamido’s speech particularly the part where he said: “The solution to Nigeria’s problem is not in the interest of a very few group of people who have held the country to ransom.
The answer lies in every Nigerian simply standing up to this group that enough is enough. Very often you look at the problems of the country and you look at the powerful vested interest that are benefitting from these problems and you think that the problems cannot be resolved.
Let me tell you one thing; stand up to them, face them, the country belongs to you and we must claim it. And the only way Nigeria will change is if we stop complaining about these people and do something about them”.
Sanusi is certainly more eager about the nation than himself. Who else could have at his screening by the Senate rubbished the ill-fated 7point agenda? The man is simply a courageous patriot.

The Old and New Testaments.



The Greek letters of the word Lateines (Latin), the historical language of Rome in all its official acts, amount to 666, magic, hocus-pocus, deceit, the equivalent of Nigeria´s modern code for crookedness, falsehood, deceit, financial fraud, which is ´419.´ The Bible is the Church father´s 419. Some of the books misquoted, distorted or misinterpreted to assemble the Bible included: The Book of the Dead, which the British Museum gave their own title of (The Book of the Coming Forth by Day and Night), in 1895. The Book of the Divines; the Book of Judgment; the Heart of Judgment and such other works. Also included in the list of documents, of course, was the Jewish Old Testament.



The Bible is made up of the Old and New Testaments, and is the canon of the three branches of Christianity: Roman Catholic, Greek and other orthodox sects, and the Protestant groups. Judaism and Islam put premium on the Old Testament, which came from a wide range of ancient manuscripts written in archaic Hebrew, Aramaic, and Chaldean languages, with their problems of modern interpretations. Two of the most important documents the Church fathers distorted and suppressed while putting the Christian religion together namely: The Coptic Scrolls and The Dead Sea Scrolls, eventually surfaced in their original forms from their hiding places. The Coptic Scrolls, sometimes called the Nag Hammadi, were found at Nag Hammadi in 1945, while The Dead Sea Scrolls (supposed to have been produced around the 9th or 10th century CE), were dug out of a cave near Qumran in the Judaean desert in the 1950s. The Scrolls incorporate ideas from very ancient Pagan times in Egypt, and The Dead Sea Scrolls include Isaiah´s materials dating back to the second century BCE. These were all doctored while being translated into European languages. For instance, the Jews while translating the Hebrew religion into Greek text fraudulently spelt one of their deities or idols, with the capital letter ´G´ for ´God´ while spelling the idols of other nations with the small letter ´g´ for ´god.´ Seventy Jewish scholars gathered in Alexandra, Egypt, around 200 BCE to perpetrate the fraud. They found that although Judaism was preaching monotheism, they were in reality serving several deities or gods of the Canaanites.



The leader of the Canaanites´ deities was El (or El Elyon) whose subordinates or sons where spelt with small letters as in: el, eloah and elohiym. None of these deities, not even El, was considered the Supreme or Universal Being. They were all deities with El as their superior or Father or the only God that could be spelt with the capital letter ´G.´ These deities were actually super human beings who had at one time or the other lived on earth and were now ancestors who took charge of several individual nations. El Elyon (Black, Father or God of all gods), allocated the nations of the world to the deities.

The Jewish scholars doctored the Hebrew translation to Greek text, to promote Yahweh, the deity allocated to Israel, and sold Yahweh as the Supreme God of the universe, to enable them claim that they were the chosen people. They spelt their own deity as ´God´ with the capital letter ´G´ and the ´Gods´ of other nations with the small letter ´g.´ So, the Jewish God became Theou in Greek, and anywhere the Jewish deity, Yahweh occurred, it was translated as ´God´ instead of god which they used for the deities of other nations. El or El Elyon was the chief of all Canaanite gods referred to as God or God Most High (or Most High). El was supposed to be The Most High God in Genesis 14:18 (whose priest was Melchizedeck), but that status was fraudulently given to Yahweh ´God´ of Israel, as was done in the Most High in Deuteronomy 32:8 and the God in Psalm 82:6, which should refer appropriately to the Canaan God El Elyon. As a result, every where Yahweh is mentioned in the Bible became God said, God did, God told Moses, (Exodus 3:14). The correct translation is that Yahweh, a deity or idol of the Jews, (like the Sango of the Africans), told Moses. In the same vain, they translated el Philistine as the god of the Philistine and el Israel as the God of Israel. The end product of their fraudulent distortion is the Septuagint (LXX), the first Hebrew religious text in Greek, which the Church incorporated into the Bible as the Old Testament. Most of the Old Testament is allegorical, written in historical form and accepted by orthodox Christianity as the gospel truth.



There are many incredible passages. Some describing their Supreme Deity as a ruthless, blood thirsty, arrogant tyrant, obviously because the Jews created a deity of suppression, exploitation and control of non-Jews, which served the political ambition of the ignorant Church fathers. Yahweh is extremely cruel and violent. He unleashed unprovoked attacks and invasions of other nations, slaughtering women, men and children in their thousands. The Jewish scholars sold a booboo or devil to Europe who went around the world selling the idol as the universal God at gun point, while describing their victims as idol worshippers, and littering civilization with a trail of blood; …the crusades, the slave trade, the massacre of American Indians, the first and second World wars, apartheid, the on-going slaughter in Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza, and the mindless forfeiture of lives of thousands of unlucky youths, Black and White, in civil wars around the world. The Church was established on such cruel and inhuman bobby-trap cushion of thorns, laced with a monumental narrowness of mind, maintaining the impossible to be true and insisting that the records they present were divinely inspired. The Church fathers who assembled the Bible didn´t write the original texts and myths. They only deliberately misinterpreted or misrepresented ancient ideas. It is difficult to see who was divinely inspired between the ancient authors of the original myths and the later day Church fathers who assembled distorted ideas obviously for a peculiar political purpose.



The New Testament is a collection of oral traditions segmented into a book of Prophecy, Epistles and four Gospels. The Gospels are about the imagined life of Jesus and the early Church, some of which were written towards the end of the second century by the supposed disciples of Jesus. There is hardly any doctrine in the Gospels, but the Epistles contain a vague notion of the faith. Implied sacred instructions of metaphysical nature, (witchcraft), by Jesus to his advanced disciples, are deliberately suppressed in the Bible by the Church fathers.

Huge amount of information is available in the apocryphal of the Jews and the classic literature of some bishops, teachers, and religious scholars, written between the second and fifth centuries on the fictitious life of Jesus turned reality, his supposed disciples, the early Church, and the growth of metaphysical philosophy, which the Church fathers discarded to promote their Biblical distortions. The Book of Wisdom and other similar Jewish scriptures contain some spiritual truths sometimes bound with the Roman Catholic but not in the Protestants´ Bible.



The truth is that the personalization of the spiritual concept ´Christ´ which the Greeks call ´Christo´ is largely responsible for the inappropriateness of the Bible for individual spiritual growth and fulfillment. Initial emphasis on ´The Way,´ attracted many members of the Mystery schools to Christianity because they saw a parallel with their belief that everyman carries a seed of the Supreme Deity inside him. That man´s material and bodily desires inhibit his divinity because “the kingdom of Heaven” and “hope of glory” are within his competence. This emphasis soon changed to alienate intelligent people from the religion. The Bible was designed to appeal to the simple-minded because of its attempt to present allegories and myths as historical facts, thus enthroning grave follies. With the expansion of the Roman Empire, masses of ignorant people in Europe came to dominate the religion, which placed premium on faith at the cost of knowledge and intellect.



St. Thomas Aquinas (1227-1274 CE). He was one of the leading saints of the Roman Catholic Church and an outstanding advocate of scholasticism. He had a profound influence on Christianity. He believed that the existence of movement provides evidence of a Prime Mover, the Unmoved Mover or God. That everything in creation seems to be organized on the scale of the lowest to the highest perfection, so an impeccable Being must be at the summit.



That God is the beginning and the last cause, the totally perfect Creator of everything through each of which He reveals Self and governs the universe. Aquinas insisted that the highest good is spiritual self-fulfillment as decreed by God. He believed intention is very important because a good act without good intention is bad. That although intention will not make a bad act good, it is the only sure way of making a good act genuinely good. While admitting that man had inherited Adam´s sins, he insisted that divine grace is possible through man´s free will and co-operation. That those unwilling to accept the offer of grace are the ones condemned to eternal punishment.



To cover up the origins of Christianity, Church fathers invented Adam and Eve.



When my book, God is Black, first came out in 1993, there were protests from around the religious world over the audacity and affront by an African writer for that matter. God is White was acceptable but Black, isn´t that shit or worse? Who was the Black turkey challenging the world of White ideas? But the ´God is Black´ book was not about God. The few paragraphs about God in the book played on a twist in language. All scientists and historians (Black and White), agree that human ancestors originated in Africa. The Christian Bible says God created man in his image and likeness and if human origin is Black, the Old Man must be Black too. When this logic was used on a Canadian radio programme in 1993, Whites phoned in to say QED. It was a three-hour phone in programme in Toronto. Listeners were asked to phone in to re-act to the title of the book: God is Black, written by Naiwu Osahon. They had not read the book. Most Blacks that phoned in, abused Naiwu, the radio guest, rather than offer any counter argument. This demonstrates the level to which most Blacks have been messed up in the head by foreign religions and ideas.



The Catholic Church in Toronto, however, put on a two hours programme to disparage the radio guest after the phone in programme. The Church thought that the radio guest was a student in Canada, taking advantage of their country´s scholarship scheme to study there. They could not match the radio guest, logic for logic, so they said he was an aberration to be avoided like a plague by other Africans. A few years back, the radio guest would have been declared a heretic and roasted at the stake or may be they still do it quietly in Rome these days?



The Christian Church cloaks their lies and abuses in religious garbage and other hegemonistic instruments. To prove that ´God is Black´ book is irrelevant about human origins, some Jews, in an unholy alliance with the Roman Catholic Church, and some blockhead French ´Scholars,´ led by a certain Dr. Gustave Courbet, produced a monumental fabrication almost rivaling the Bible in bovine crassness. The story was first published in the Sun newspaper of London and culled by many Christian oriented African newspapers in April 1993, less than two months after God is Black book was launched. Of course, the visionless article was targeted at the gullible world, and particularly the unquestioning Africans, who take everything the Bible says as the gospel truth. No serious media house outside Africa published the lie, as far as one could tell at the time, but the highest circulating newspaper in Nigeria at the time, the Daily Times of May 1, 1993, used it under the headline: Adam and Eve´s tomb found. Excepts:



“Experts in the field of science and religion are agog over the astonishing find of the skeletal remains of Adam and Eve lying side by side in a shallow tomb-like cave in Israel…archaeologists uncovered the well-preserved bones while digging near Jerusalem…the couple were laid to rest some 300,000 years ago…Identification was made from detailed scrolls found alongside the skeletons. In addition to naming the tomb occupants as Adam and Eve, the scrolls described their lives as farmers and gatherers in the lush Garden of Eden…. The male skeleton is missing a rib, while the female includes an extra one…, it appears Adam and Eve died in their early 40s …, no obvious cause of death…, They must have been placed in the cave by their offspring, who then put together their written history and sealed it up with the deceased. Adam and Eve learned how to tend the bountiful bushes and trees that provided them with more fruits and vegetables than they could possibly eat. The scrolls indicate Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden by drought. It is unclear whether the fateful drought was brought about by God because the couple disobeyed his orders. But it did doom paradise on Earth and force Adam and Eve and their children to struggle to survive in their cruel New World…, ”



The following was Naiwu Osahon´s response at the time and it was published in some newspapers and in his book entitled: THE CRADLE: the ultimate cosmology, now turning the world of ideas on its head to enthrone truth: It is not difficult to imagine the fortunes Israel has been making from gullible Christian tourists, particularly from Africa, since the announcement about Adam and Eve´s find, Since the Vatican has not denied their alleged involvement in the disgraceful hoax, it deserves response from serious minded people. Obviously some Jewish dupes, after burying some scrolls and skeletons in a shallow (not even a deep) grave for a while, invited their equally demented European friends to come to Jerusalem to dig for archaeology. The diggers did not need to work too hard before unearthing their hare-brained booty of scrolls and skeletons, which they promptly sold to their Pope and their already carefully nurtured naïve world, as dating back 300,000 years.



Adam lost a rib to the bargain and Eve had an extra one they said, not bothering to explain how modern Eves lost the extra ribs gained from the men. The Bible says Adam and Eve had two children, Cain and Abel, and the maudlin team of European grave diggers (for instant fame and fortune regardless how), implied that Adam and Eve had a University where Adam was the Vice Chancellor, Eve the professor, and the two children the only students, since no other human was on earth at the time of White Adam and Eve. The family manufactured scroll materials in their factory obviously, and the children learnt to write on the scrolls to preserve the history of their parents. I wonder what ancient European language was used to write the scrolls 300,000 years ago, English, German or Italian, none of which existed at the time? Then Cain killed Abel and drifted out of the Garden of Eden´s vicinity in search of a wife that the Bible at first claimed did not exist. He did not have a car because for some strange reasons, he had not produced one at the time, but he did not have to walk for long either, because just down the road paved in gold, as if by magic, materialized his wife from another clan. Yes, another clan, according to the Bible´s warped logic, because Adam, who died at the age of 40 or so, (the Bible says he lived for 940 years, which obviously must have been as a brainless Chimpanzee, since it happened 300,000 years ago, 200,000 years before Homo sapiens man emerged on earth), had obviously treacherously produced other clans when he was a teenager before he, at the ripe old age of 15 years, married Eve.

Eve was actually a few minutes old when Adam married her, and by the age of twelve months, she had given birth to Cain. There was no other human life before Adam and definitely no female before Eve manifested from Adam´s ribs, but Adam still managed to leave clans all over the place mating with gorillas and chimpanzees, no doubt. The Bible´s fathers did not want Cain to follow in his father´s footsteps of mating with monkeys. Cain could not be trusted also to produce the human race by himself or through masturbation so they conjured up a phantom wife. We do not know who this hapless woman was, how many children she had for her husband and what happened to her and the children. What is clear is that Cain could not be bothered to educate his own off-springs, thereby allowing his parent´s university to lie dormant for nearly 300,000 years, when a form of writing was first introduced 40,000 years ago, and formal education invented in the Nile Valley, some seven thousand years ago by Africans.



Of course, we should ignore Gustave Courbet and his religious collaborators, after all, the Pope just recently signed a protocol of understanding to exchange Ambassadors with Israel and sweep under the carpet, after two thousand years of mutual hostility, the Vatican´s lie that the Jews killed Jesus Christ. But that is how we ignored for two thousand years, their insane distortions of the history of humankind. The Bible assumes that humans are fools, (we are not the sons of God like Jesus is anyway), so Gustave Courbet was only capitalizing on this to add a modern testament to the Bible for his ethnic group. It is like the story of the supposed blood stained shroud of Jesus Christ, which the Vatican kept under lock and key for years until public pressure forced the Pope to allow sane experts examine the shroud in modern times. The shroud was found to be a fake. It did not belong to the period claimed for it by the Vatican. In fact, like the new Adam and Eve scrolls, it was less than 300,000 minutes old.



In response to the above statement and other profound revelations in the book: The Cradle, the ultimate cosmology, written by Naiwu Osahon, and mentioned earlier in this book, the Vatican mounted an exhibition of the Shroud of Turin at the Cathedral of Turin for two months from April 18, 1998. The fakeness of the Shroud of Turin is palpable from its distortions of the Africanness of Horus (the original African Son of God myth), who was given European nose, hair, and other strange features, and called Jesus. Historically, Horus or Heru was the mythical African Jesus in the early Church. Auset was the Virgin mother and Horus, the Virgin son, until the Nicaea Council removed the African leadership image of the early Christian religion in 325 CE. Even then, Horus continued to be depicted symbolically as the only son of God until 500 years ago. It was the European artist, Michelangelo, who used family and friends as models to paint his image of Jesus in the Gisen Temple in 1509 CE. He was commissioned to do the painting by Pope Julius II, and he became famous with his blue-eyed, blonde man, flowing hair and bearded image of Jesus. The image was replicated by European Christian organizations all over the world. The box office musical hit, Jesus Christ Superstar, continued the Europeanization of Christian images by featuring not only a White Jesus but tendentiously a Black Judas Iscariot, the supposed betrayer of Jesus.



Until the 15th century CE, the Madonna and child were also depicted as Africans or symbolically, as can still be observed in the mosaics in the baptistery of Florence. Earliest set of paintings and carvings still dotting several European and Latin American Cathedrals, portrayed Madonna and her child as Auset and Heru. The Grande Heures de Rohan, painted about 1415 CE, depicted for the first time, White Mary, White Joseph, and White baby Jesus, fleeing home to (Black) Egypt, thus opening the flood gate to the depiction of Madonna and child as White. Van Eyck, in 1435 CE, consolidated this with his painting of the White Madonna of the Chancellor Rolin, now in the Louvre in Paris. In 1450 CE, Fouquet (c.1416–1480) in France, painted the king´s current mistress, Agnes Sorel as Mary, with one breast exposed. The image that now dominates Christendom was painted in 1465 CE by Filippo Lippi. He used his mistress as model to depict Mary as a beautiful White girl holding a White baby in her arm.

Cheikh Anta Diop: (The African Origin of Civilization) confirms that: “The first inhabitants of the present site of Paris, who fought against Caesar, bore the name Parisii, for some reason unknown today. The worship of Isis was evidently quite widespread in France, especially in the Parisian basin; temples of Isis, in Western parlance, were everywhere. But it would be more exact to say” Houses of Isis,” for in Egyptian, these so called temples were called Per, the exact meaning of which in ancient Egyptian, as in present-day Wolof (Senegal), is: the enclosure surrounding the house. The name ´Paris´ could have resulted from the juxtaposition of Per-Isis, a word that designated certain cities in Egypt. There is also the existence of the god Ani among the Irish and Etruscans. The Egypto-Phoenician impact on the Etruscans is quite clear, as it is on the Sabines, whose name and customs suggests southern Black civilization. Sabines and Etruscans buried their dead in the Italian peninsula. The Etruscans knew and utilized the Egyptian sarcophagus…,  ´





Godfrey Higgins in Anacalypsis, Vol. 1, tells us “we have found the Black complexion or something relating to it whenever we have approached the origins of nations. The Alma Mater, the Goddess Multimammia, the founders of the oracles, the Memnon or first idols were always Black. Venus, Jupiter, Apollo, Bacchus, Hercules, Ammon, Asteroth, Adonis, Horus, Apis, Osiris, in short all the wood and stone Deities were Black. They remain as they were first made in very remote times.” In the Celtic Druids, Higgins says: “The Greek gods were adaptations of the Egyptian ones, hence the earliest ones of Greece were also Black. ´Ethiop is a title of Zeus who was the Father of the Gods among the Greeks.”



Romain Rolland noted French writer in his (Intermediare de Chercheurs at des Curieux Vol. 34) states that “the majority of the Virgins that are revered in the celebrated pilgrimages are Black. At Boulogne-Sur-mer, the sailors still carry a Black Virgin in their procession. At Claremont in Auvergne, the Black Virgin is revered as also at Einsiendeln, Switzerland, near Zurich, to which thousands of pilgrims (Swiss, Bavarians, Alsatians), go to pay homage. The famous Virgin of Oropa in the Piedmont is still a Black woman, as well as the not less legendary one at Montserrat in Catalonia, which received 60,000 visitors a year. I have been able to trace the history of this one to the year 718 CE, and it was always Black. Tradition says that it was St. Luke who knew personally the Mother of Christ, and carved with his own hand, the majority of these Black Virgins. Virgin Mother was Black in ancient times all over the world: France, Switzerland. Italy, Spain…”



J.A. Roger (100 Amazing Facts about the Negro) says, “the earliest statues of the Virgin Mary and Christ in Europe as far as Russia, were Black. That the oldest and most noted statue in the world, the Sphinx of Gizeh, bears a Black face and was worshipped as Horus, or Harmachis, the Sun God of Light and Life. The devil, which is now depicted as Black, was before the advent of White power, portrayed as White.” In (A book of the beginnings Vol. 2, London 1881), Gerald Massey says: “The Black Jesus (Horus) is a well-known form of the child-Christ worshipped on the (European) continent where the Black bambino, the pet image of the Italian Church is as popular as Chrishna, the Black Christ of India – the Divine son was incarnated in Black flash from the Black Sut Nashi, the Black image of the earliest god (Osiris)…. And finally, the Black Jesus of the Christian cult is the son of the (Black) Virgin Mother in the Romish Church.”



Edouard Schure, a noted French writer on religion and mysticism in (Les Grand Inities, 113th edition, Paris 1931) says; “Remembrances of them have disappeared from popular tradition. The Blacks, however, have left two ineffaceable imprints in Europe: the horror of the dragon, which was the emblem of their kings… and the idea that evil or the devil is White which Whites reversed… During the time of their sovereignty, the Blacks had religious centres in Upper Egypt and in India. Their cyclopean cities embattled the mountains of Africa, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.”



St. Paul (c10-c 67 CE). He was a Jew. His Hebrew name was Saul. He was a Pharisee lawyer, tax collector, involved in the persecution of Christians. He claimed that while on one of his raids on tax dodging Christians in Damascus, he was arrested by God. He saw an apparition and was converted to Christianity on the spot. Without him, Christianity would not have taken roots. He spread the religion throughout the Roman provinces, Europe, Asia, Macedonia, and reinforced the concept in Greece and Rome. He was deeply involved in the administrative structuring and running of the early Church. Most documents on him suggest he was executed in Rome between 64 and 67 CE.





Paul´s epistles constitute the second half of the New Testament and form aspects of Christian teachings. He preached that man is made up of three parts, spirit, soul and body, and that we are all “Sons of God.” Said he, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you? “ He taught that Christ was in the heart of each man, “until Christ be formed in you,” or until “the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” St. Paul talked about superhuman beings who before earth´s formation, brought knowledge to man through a long evolutionary process, and described man´s relationship with God as a descending order of intelligence as in “thrones, dominions, principalities and powers.” John´s Book of Revelation also makes similar point in “Cloud of Silent Witnesses before the Throne-Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones.” These gradations have become de-emphasized in Christianity as stages of spiritual evolution. The concept of the seven spirits before the throne of God is recognized in the scriptures and the Roman Catholic Church speaks of revered angels in aid of man and nature. Church Fathers´ elevation of Jesus to a deity, or the “only son of God” concept, downgraded personal responsibility for evolutionary spiritual growth in the Christian religion.

Council of Nicaea (325 CE). Dr. Martyn Percy, the famous canon expert once wrote and I quote: “The Bible did not arrive by fax from heaven.” The Bible is a creation of man. Man, not God, writes history, and history is always from the perspective of the conqueror, not the conquered. It is the elite, the most powerful in society, that defines the society´s reality, and that is exactly what Constantine did after subduing African influence in the world.



In Emperor Constantine´s days, the official Roman religion was Sun worship (i.e. the African Egyptian cult of Sol Invictus or the Invincible Sun). They called it the Jovian Mystery System and Constantine was the Chief priest. In fact, Constantine, a Pagan throughout his lifetime, was hurriedly baptized on his death bed, too weak to protest. During the reign of Constantine, and over three hundred years after the alleged crucifixion of Jesus, the Christian population had grown to the extent of posing serious threat to the unity of Rome. The Christians were constantly warring with the Pagans and threatening to tear Rome apart. Constantine, a smart opportunist, decided to side with the larger group. History books on the issue marvel at the way Constantine converted his Sun God worshippers to Christianity. He did it by creating an amalgam, a hybrid, a fusion of Pagan symbols, dates, rituals, and ideas, into the growing Pagan-Christian traditions of the time, to produce something that compromised and overwhelmed both parties. Constantine produced a sacred entity outside the scope of the human world whose power was, therefore, unchallengeable by mare mortals, and called it the Roman Catholic Church. To do this, he conveyed his 325 CE Council of Nicaea that produced the Nicaea creed. The Nicaea Council is claimed by the Church fathers to have been called principally to thwart the Arian heresy and assert the headship of Jesus over Christendom.



The problem really was whether Auset (who was the Virgin Birth Mother in the ancient African Mystery System, imbibed by the Jovian Mystery, which was being adapted by the Church fathers, should continue to take precedence over her son Horus, as in the ancient African myth). In the end, Ausar (re-named Yahweh) retained his double roles as the Holy Ghost or God, (misunderstood by Christians as the universal ´Spirit´), and as (human ´Father´ in the African Mysteries 4,425 years earlier), (who became the Christian Ghost Impregnator) of Mother Auset, re-named Mary, with the Virgin Son, Horus, (renamed Jesus). In other words, “Holy” and “Virgin Birth” were transferred to Jesus and Mary, from Horus and Auset. Jesus became born in Bethlehem and acquired higher rank than his contrived mother. He was supposed to be her first child and to have been miraculously conceived. His foster-father was given the name Joseph, and the carpentry profession, to appeal to humility. The name ´Christ´ came from the Greek translation of Christos (meaning anointed), taken from the Hebrew title of Messiah. Church fathers at the Nicaea Council in 325 CE, decided that Jesus, who was supposed to have been baptized as and called Emmanuel before the Conference, was born in Bethlehem in Judea. All these were happening some 325 years after the purported death of Jesus.



Constantine called and chaired the 325 CE Nicaea Council, which had 219 Bishops in attendance. Constantine´s principal objective, (as admitted by him and emphasized in conference documents), was to settle the much-debated issue of God´s relationship to his Son. Many Bishops turned down Constantine´s invitation to the conference. Eusebius of Caesarea was one of the people who attended the Conference although he was not a Bishop. Eusebius was a well-known chronicler and defender of Christian monotheism at the time, and he wrote about what happened. All the issues raised at the Nicaea Council were debated and voted for, including the role of Bishops, the administration of sacraments, and the divinity of Jesus.



The Bishops had several sittings at the Council to perfect their strategy in the guise of separating truth from heresy. The story of how Bishop Arius was commanded by the Bishop of Alexandria to quit his beliefs or be declared a heretic, and how his writing were ordered destroyed, is eloquent of many things that happened when the Christian religion was being formulated. Bishop Arius was beheaded for saying Christ is not God. Read the lost books of the Bible. There is nothing divine about the Bible. Humans put it together under vicious acrimonious human circumstances.

The Christo in you, as preached by Paul, was the Christian emphasis until the Nicaea Council in 325 CE. Christo was not supposed to be a historical person. The vote to make Jesus (Christo), Christ, divine, human/spirit and the ´only Son of God,´ was very close. The following statement is taken verbatim from ´The Encyclopaedia Britannica.´



“Constantine himself presided and actively guided the discussions. He personally proposed the crucial formula expressing the relation of Christ to God in the creed issued by the council as of one substance with the Father … .Overawed by the emperor, the bishops, with two exceptions only, signed the creed, many of them much against their inclination…….”



This is the most important creed in Christendom. It was proposed by the emperor to the consternation of many of the bishops in attendance. But out of fear not to offend the emperor, all but two of the bishops signed the creed. Today, the Church claims that Jesus is some special breed of God, and that the Bible is some divinely inspired document. Jesus´ divinity was critical because if the Pagan God Horus, was divine and the only ´Son of God,´ the new amalgam could not afford to be less so as a means of unifying the two warring Roman groups and the Roman Empire. By officially endorsing Jesus as the only ´Son of God,´ Constantine turned Jesus into a deity. Historians agree that Constantine not only stole the mortal leadership and possible human message from the Church, he covered his invention, (Jesus Christ), with an iron cloak of divinity, to expand and enhance his personal political power base.



Nothing in Christianity was original. The Pagan´s Sun disks became the haloes of the Catholic saints, and Auset´s pictogram nursing her Virgin birth son Horus, became the model for the image of Virgin Mary nursing the baby Jesus. All the elements of the Catholic rituals, the mitre, the doxology, the altar, and the communion (act of God-eating), were all taken from African Pagans´ rites. The Christians, whose original holy day was the Jewish Sabbath of Saturday, adopted the Pagan´s holy day, Sunday. Constantine shifted the Christians´ holy day to the Pagans´ veneration day, Sunday. So, when Christians go to Church on Sundays, they are actually there paying tribute to the African Sun God.

The Passover, Feast of Tabernacles, Easter where all adapted from the Egyptian Mystery System.



Easter dates were inserted in Christian usage by King James in Acts 12:4, where Easter was substituted for the Passover. It only exists in the King James´ Bible. King James was forced to remove the word Easter from the new King James´ Bible. Christians ought to know that Easter is a hoax; it has nothing to do with the supposed crucifixion or resurrection dates of Jesus Christ. After all, our birthdays do not fall on the same day of the week every year and on different months from year to year, do they?

Jesus´ death anniversary is always on a Friday, of the week, and his resurrection is always on a Sunday of the same week, while the month moves from March to April, year to year. This is because it was based on the Pagans´ changing cycles of the moon´s rites. Eostre, the African goddess of spring´s movement towards the rising sun was celebrated on the first Sunday after the first Vernal Equinox full moon by the Egyptians who believed that the sun died in winter and was reborn in spring.

The Christian Easter fixation with the moon ties with this African goddess of spring (vernal equinox) festival, and demonstrates the African Egyptian religious influence in the continued structuring of Christianity. Chosen date by the Christians, was also the first Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox, which falls on the Sunday before. The Easter moon is an imaginary one and cannot fall earlier than March 22 or later than April 25. The real moon usually appears one or two days later. Not many people know that the ´May Day´ they celebrate is the Pagans´ coming of spring when the earth comes back alive with renewed vigour and plentiful bounty



Semiramis, imaged after life on Auset, was worshipped as the Queen of Heaven and goddess of fertility. Ancient Babylonians believed that an egg fell into the Euphrates River from the moon from which Queen Ishtar was hatched. This moon egg was called Ishtar´s egg. Buns were offered to the Queen of Heaven; the goddess of Ishtar and Rabbits were associated with the goddess of fertility because of their prolific nature. In Western Europe, it is traditional to eat hot-crossed buns on Easter Sunday morning. These small sweet buns are usually decorated with solar crosses made of white icing. They were consecrated in ancient Greece to the goddess of the sunrise, which is why you have ´sunrise services´ in some churches in Easter. The forty days of mourning of Tammuz, instituted by Semiramis, when no meat was allowed to be eaten, has become the Christian Lent. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ashes were said to be the seed of the Indian fire god, Agni, who was deemed to have the power to forgive sins.



Trinity was inserted in Christian usage by King James in I John 5:7 and exists only in the King James´ Bible. It was a miss representation of the African Trinity concept of God Auser whose ghost pregnated Goddess Auset to produce the Virgin Birth son, God Horus. Christians, after replacing Auset with fictitious Mary, removed (the female) Mary, from the Trinity; replaced Horus with Jesus, and invented a Joseph, a cheated husband by-stander. The Osirian worshipped cross is called the ´Ankh,´ (the Horus´ cross). The priests offered bread and wine at the Osirian rituals. Christians, 4,425 years after the Osirian origins of the concepts, worship over 40 crosses and offer bread and wine at what they call the ´Lord´s Supper.´ The original African cross was a square with four arms of equal length to signify peace and convey the natural union between male and female. Christians elongated one arm as a torture device. In fact, the Christian name for the cross, the crucifix, came from the Latin verb cruciare meaning to torture. The word cross, originated from the Africans and then through the Chaldeans to the Church. To cover up its origin, it is claimed that as Constantine and his soldiers approached Rome and were about to face what is known as the battle of Milvian Bridge, they saw a sign of the cross in the sky.



Ausar (Osiris) was born on the first of the intercalary days says Moret: “That is, on the 361st day of the year, which corresponds to the 26th of December, when we take into account the reform of the Egyptian calendar by Rome. The birthday of Ausar was observed by the Africans as the festival of Sol invictus, the (unconquered sun), the Saturn God of agriculture, for four thousand, four hundred and twenty-five years, before Christianity. Saturnalia was marked by seven days of merry making, feasting, and the exchange of gifts. The Roman Sun God worshippers reveled in Saturnalia festivals. Pope Julius I, arbitrarily fixed December 25th as the birthday of Jesus (Christo) in c350 CE. “What could have inspired Pope Julius I, to choose that date, only one day removed from the birthday of Osiris´ which Rome had celebrated for centuries until then, unless it be the Egyptian tradition perpetuated by the Roman calendar,” asks Diop? Despite Pope Julius I proclamation of December 25th as Jesus Christo´s birthday, the Church only began to observe it as the day of Nativity from the 5th century CE (i.e. some five hundred years after the supposed birth and death of Jesus).



St Nicholas, Santa Nikolaus, better known as Santa Claus, the patron saint of children whose feast day is actually Dec. 6, was incorporated into the Christmas festival to liven things up and replace the Sun-god worshippers´ feasting, and exchange of gifts. Ausar (Osiris) was the God of agriculture and Diop says: “The idea of a tree associated with the birth of Jesus is taken from Osiris. Osiris´ symbol was a tree without branches, set up to announce the resurrection of plant life. This was an impressive agrarian rite characterizing a sedentary society. The plant, symbol of Osiris, was called Djed: standing erect, planted upright. Djan: vertical; Djed-Djed oral: very erect (intensification of Djed); Djen: a post. …, once again we see, on retracing the course of time, that more than one feature of western civilization, whose origin has been forgotten loses its enigmatic character when linked with its African source.”



The Egyptian God Ausar (Osiris) was anointed by an Egyptian priest in 4100 BCE. Jesus was allegedly baptized or initiated by John the Baptist in early CE. Egyptian “Ab” – heart, represents Osiris. A person with ´Pure, Light´ heart is Osiris in the Pagan´s mysteries. He is as ´Light´ as ´Feather.´ Every person´s heart is weighed on Isis or Goddess Maat´s feather scale. To balance on it, is to be Osiris pure and sinless. This is Osiris´ conquering power over all as ´Lord and God.´ Christianity and other religions adopted these African concepts, replacing the African God Horus with their own intermediaries, (i.e. Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, etc).



Osirian Goddess Maat (with wings), handled the orderliness of the world. The Christian´s replaced Goddess Maat with Angles with wings, as deities´ messengers to humans. The Osirians´ most powerful creature symbol is the sefer a.k.a griffin. The Asiatic religions´ and Christianity´s most powerful creature symbol over 6000 years after the Egyptian example, is also the griffin. The Deity ´Djehuti, the sayer of the logos (word), tells Virgin Isis (Auset) in about 4100 BCE, that she will give birth to a son, the righteous divine heir namely: Horus. An angel announces to Virgin Mary in about 4 BCE, “You will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son.”



African Egyptian Serpent Goddess Meretseger was the guardian of the Valley of the Kings. The Goddess of Asiatic religions holds two snakes she tamed. The Indian androgyny deity of the Krishna sect also holds two snakes and the Ankh. Not to be outdone, Christianity´s Eve receives apple from the snake. Fish facing opposite directions in circular motion represented the Trinity 6000 years ago in the African Mystery System, so too in Christianity now. The Pyramid with the Eye of the African God Horus represents Horus the Supreme One in his house (Pyramid). The Christian symbol of Trinity is the pyramid (triangle) embodying the Eye. The Eye of Jehovah in Christianity represents Jesus as a child and master of nature. So too is the significance of Buddha´s Eyes or Krishna´s Eyes, as child and master of nature.

In the Mystery System, 6,108 years ago, Set (or Seth), the African God and king of Egypt who killed his brother, God king Ausar, to usurp his throne in Egypt, was going to kill Horus, who was Ausar´s son by virgin birth. Set, with his men, searched every nook and cranny of the Lower Delta of the Nile for Horus. Her mother, goddess Auset, had hid Horus in Butto (in the belly of Africa), and Set could not find Horus. In the Christian copy story, Herod the king, 4,425 years after Set´s incidence, was going to kill the little boy Jesus. Herod had his men check every family and every household, for this supposedly baby boy. Goddess Yashoda, a virgin, flees with her son, Krishna, to save him from a tyrant ruler.

The Celibacy. Ausar´s resurrection without his phallus was the original reason religious leaders, nuns, and monks, were psychologically castrated or had to be celibate. After Adam and Eve were invented and Auset and Horus were replaced with Mary and Jesus, eating of the forbidden fruit and lust replaced the original reason for celibacy. Assumption of the Virgin. Pope Pius XII, in late 1950, proclaimed Mary´s ascent to heaven after her imaginary death. Protestants are not excited about such dogma based principally on the whims and caprices of the reigning Pope and or his Council.

Rome believes in the fabelli (feathers), The Egyptian priest king used the Fabellum, a large fan made of feathers. This was later known as the mystic fan of Bacchus, and even as this fan was carried in procession with the supposed African Pagan priest of Egypt, so also are these fans carried with the Pope on state occasions. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, when going to solemn ceremonies, the Pope is carried on the sedia, a portable chair of red velvet (like in the Pagans´ mysteries), with a high back and escorted by two fabelli feathers. For almost a thousand years, the people of Rome believed in the mystic keys of god Janus (Horus) and goddess Cybele (Auset).

The priests in Egyptian and Babylonian rituals were known as the flamens. The word is taken from flare meaning one who blows or kindles the sacred fire. They were the keepers of the holy flame, which they fanned with the mystic fan of Bacchus. The Egyptian-Babylonish garments, like the colour of the fire, were flame red in colour. They were servants of the Pontifex Maximus in Nimrod´s days just as the Cardinals today are the servants of the Pope Pontifex Maximus. The flamens were divided into three distinct groups and so the Cardinals have Cardinal Bishops, Cardinal Priests and Cardinal Deacons. The garments worn by the Cardinals of the Catholic Church are red. Cardinal Birds, Cardinal Flowers and Cardinal Priests are linked together by the colour red. The Bible mentions certain princes of Babylon who dressed in red garments, and men portrayed with vermilion bright red…… (Ezekiel 23: 14 – 15). The Priests of Baal dressed in black and so do the clergy of the Roman Catholic Church. The round cakes were used in occult of the Egyptian Mysteries and in Mithraism. The inner initiates of the System received a small round cake, or water of unleavened tread, which symbolized the solar disk.

The title Pontifex Maximus, or Supreme Pontiff or Pontifex Maximus, which the Pope bears was a title used by Nimrod, (Pona, Bridge and Facio), meaning the Bridge maker. The High Priest was called the Paper Pastrum, meaning the Father of fathers. The head of the Roman Catholic Church, borrowing directly from this title, is known as the Papa or Pope. The title Pontifer Maximus is repeatedly found on inscriptions throughout the Vatican. It is above the entrance of St Peters and above the statue of Peter, which is really the statue of Nimrod/Ausar. It is in the dome above the Holy Year Door, which is opened only during Jubilee year. The Sun God´s symbols and rites, the Pallium, the idolatrous fishermen´s ring, the 14-carat bishop´s gold ring with large purple amethyst diamonds and hand tooled mitre-crozier appliqué, the crucifix with thirteen embedded pieces of black onyx, known as crux gemmata, the Queen of Heaven in image form, the Obelisk, are all stolen from the African Mystery System. There is an Obelisk (the Egyptian symbol of the phallus), at the entrance of St Peters in Rome.



In the Catholic Encyclopedia, Gilamesh mythologically transformed into a Babylonian Hercules, designated as Nemrod (Nimrod) in the Bible. From him descended a line of priest kings each standing at the head of the occult of the Babylonian mystery religion and continued to Belshazzar. The Jewish Encyclopedia says Nimrod made all the people rebellious against God. The multitudes were ready to follow the determination of Nimrod and they built a tower neither sparing any pains or negligent about the work, and by reason of the multitude of hands employed, the tower grew very high. The place where they built the tower was called Babylon. Semiramis, Nimrod´s wife and mother, was known as the woman that made towers. The goddess Cybele (who also has been identified with Semiramis) was known as the towers in cities, with a tower-like crown on her head, as it was also with Diana. In the symbolism of the Catholic Church, a tower is emblematic of the Virgin Mary, who is also their Queen of Heaven.



St. Augustus (354-430 CE). Augustine was the Bishop of Hippo in North Africa. He was a native of Numidia (known now as Tunisia) in North Africa. His family was deeply involved in the Manichean practices of the ancient African Egyptians. Anyone in doubt about Augustine´s indigenous African origin should read his Confessions. He is as African as the indigenous Nigerian. After finishing his education in Khart-Haddas (Carthage), he took his Manichean teachings to Rome during the Christian era. When this twenty-nine-year-old boy arrived and spoke to Ambrose (who was the greatest Christian scholar in Europe in the fifth century) about his education in Carthage, Ambrose was stunned and he said: “Man you are heavy.”



The Manichean concept influenced Augustine´s writing against the Stoics. He had a great deal of influence on early Christianity. For example, he wrote the fundamental principle that was to govern modern Christianity in its morality, in his book: On Christian Doctrine. He was the first person to separate Deus from Deities and to talk of original sin. He had earlier written the: Holy City of God, in which he argued that mankind was one, a product of God´s creative will and enjoying existence throughout its history only in God´s contemplation. He insisted in the book that the Church was the earthly incarnation of the City of God and, therefore, is superior to the state. That by the same token, the head of the Church was superior to any secular ruler. While the secular ruler can make mistakes, the Church leader cannot.



His God was omniscient, omnipotent, transcendent, and the author of the universe from nothing. He believed that since God knows everything, He determines all things. This was his doctrine of predestination. He insisted that after Adam and his sins, God separated mankind into those to be rescued or condemned for all times. He taught that everything in the universe, including evil, is good because both fit into cosmic harmony like shadows to a painting. That man should avoid the pleasures of the world because they distract him from loving God. It was difficult for some Christians to accept how an all-loving God could create evil. He believed that witches and wizards are off springs of (a) Male demons called incubi (singular incubus), who have sex with women in their sleep and (b) female demons called succubae (singular succubus) that have sex with men while they are asleep. Q. S. Jertulian of Carthage, had in his book: ´Apologeticum,” published earlier, suggested that demons, witches, and wizards, live in the air and stars are their neighbours.
