Chapter Thirty-Eight 1. In the twenty-sixth year of Ometere as the king of Okerune, there was a great fight among the masquerades and the priests. For some clans wanted the masks to be worn by their people instead of the people of the other clans. 2. Now the priests fought among themselves, for a priest called Onuya came with twenty homos to beat up the masquerades while they were performing. 3. Now the fight was great and many homos were killed and injured. 4. And the king, Ohinoyi Ometere said, let the festival cease for the moment. For it is not good that these killings should continue. 5. And they obeyed the voice of the king. And for three years after, the festival did not take place. And the homos from Itaho came to see the king Ometere, saying, let the festival resume again. For we value it in Itaho more than in any other places. 6. And the king said, I do not have the thought of bringing it back, for the people of the land do not make it a sacred festival. But they love to shed blood during the festival. And if blood is shed in a festival, what sanity does it bring? 7. Now if you wish, you can start even the festival in your own land. For even Okatahi my late brother who began it was later one of you until his death. Therefore take the festival to your place, but make sure you do not mix violence with it. 8. Now when Ometere had said this, the homos of Itaho told their king. And he accepted that the festival should be done in their own town. And so the festival was done yearly in Itaho till these days. 9. Now a time came after the death of Ometere that the number of homos entering Okerune to dwell was very much more than those who moved out of it. And the son of Ometere called Achigidi, being the Ohinoyi said, let no homo be allowed to enter Okerune henceforth. 10. For the land is full to the brim. So it was that the borders were tightened and no homo was allowed to come to Okerune. 11. Now about that same time, there arose a very great famine in Okerune and in Itaho and in many places of Ebir lands. And the homos of Ebir lands began to depart the land. For the famine was very long. And locusts had invaded the whole places. 12. Now the famine was also much in Takumi and in Ida and in many other places. 13. And the homos of all the lands affected began to migrate towards Juku, which was a little land surrounded by a very great forest. 14. Now the name of the forest was Kuara, which by interpretation was a forest near the river, for it was around River Negre and river Chadda. 15. And the forest was filled with palm trees which were called rafa in the tongue of the first settler upon the land, who had migrated far away from the land. For they had left the land for about two hundred years before. 16. And many of them had settled at Yande which was far east of river Negre. 17. Now when many lands had found the forest, they said, surely this is a good place to settle. For the locusts have not invaded this place yet. And when they began to clear the forest, the homos of Juku attacked them, saying, why have you come to destroy our habitat? 18. And the people of different languages and ethnics said to the homos of Juku, is there not enough land here to dwell? For the lands of Okerune and Itaho and Ida and Takumi and other lands are under attacks by the locusts. 19. Therefore we have been forced to migrate to this place. Now let us settle in peace and we shall not trouble you. 20. So Juku accepted all the lands into the forest of Kuara. And the whole forest was named Kuara-rafa, saying, it is a watered forest filled with the rafa trees. 21. So did Ebir people and Igala and Edoma and Tampa and many tongues dwell together in Kuara-rafa with Juku. And there was peace among them for a long time. |

DonaldYusuf:The story is a lie. I know true stories from lies. Mind you, if I here bad stories, I don't always feel happy. But if I hear fabricated good news, I don't like it either. SAY THE TRUTH ALL THE TIME. |
OBAJESU:There is nothing like sin in itself. Only what human beings accept as sin is sin and whatever they have normalised, it is no more sin to them. The wearing of trousers by ladies was a sin when it first arrived Nigeria, but as Nigerians start doing it, it became normalised and it's no more sin to them. Check the DOCTUFOS OF TRUTH for more. [quote author=Doctufos ]Observation of Rastus 7:9-13 9. I have made observations and known that there is nothing normal in itself except what the homos have normalised. And anything can be normalised, no matter how it seems impossible to do. 10. For if the homos of the world decide to normalise equality in gender, it shall be so. But the beginning of every normalisation is called an offence to the gods. 11. For before in Juda, the Shabbat was the last day of the week, but from the time of the beginning of Krishtanite till now, it was changed and the first day of the week seemed to be the Shabbat of the Kristens among them. 12. So also in the normalisation of blood drinking, which was forbidden by the homos of Juda before. 13. But when Zeusus came, he normalised the drinking of human blood and the eating of human flesh, which Danyal had foreseen hundreds of years before as the abomination of destruction which shall come after the daily sacrifices done by the Jews and many other kingdoms.[/quote] |
Deicide:It's because of the lists of rumoured killings by their god they've been hearing right from the bible time till our present days. When you die an atheist or a critic of their religion, they say it is their god who killed you. See one picture example below.

Richirich713:I think atheism is actually against religious gods being the God Almighty. I have never seen any atheist attacking a deistic God concept before. I see atheist rejecting the idea of religious gods as the ALMIGHTY God and that is even right. Atheists do say that if there is a God, he/she/it should not have a tag like God of Israel, bla, bla, bla. And that's d belief of deism too. THERE IS NO GOD said by atheism is also true to an extent, because truly, God is not different from us. We ourselves are parts of God and there is no God in isolation. It's complex. |
Richirich713:I don't think about deism, but it is closer to the truth more than religions. |
I discovered that science and brain-using is the closest way to discovering the secrets of God and nature. All religious gods combined are nothing but a microorganism before God Almighty. |
SSBN:Op it is not only when you pray. It comes anytime you are talking non-stop. Try this next time: kneel down the way you do whenever you want to pray. Then start saying things randomly non-stop for ten minutes. The foam thing will come again. After that, go to a doctor and complain to him. |

Chapter Thirty-Seven 1. While the five homos of Adogwu were away, the king of Koto sent thirteen of his servants to Obaji, saying, be our ally and we shall protect you in times of danger. 2. And Obaji said, what do you mean? Has the king not sent to us some homos about a year ago, saying, be our friend? And we have given our reply. Therefore why did he say again to us, be our friend? 3. And the thirteen homos said, it is not so, for the king has never sent anyone before until now. And Obaji said, those whom he sent have dwelt with us for a year now. And we have given them houses and lands and wives and servants. Why do you now say that you have sent no one before? 4. Now the king and the thirteen homos from Koto went to the place where the homos from Adogwu possessed. And when they found them, the homos said to Obaji, you have been fooled by us for a year. For we are from Adogwu, the land started by your enemy. For the first five which came to your land returned and told Adogwu the name of your land. And we were sent after them. And we put the tribal marks of the Kotoans on our faces. 5. Now when Obaji heard their confession, he said, O, the blindfold which I saw in my revelation! For indeed I have been deceived. 6. Now before Obaji could do anything to the ten homos of Adogwu, the two hundred warriors arrived with the five homos of Adogwu who went to bring them. 7. And they captured the king quickly, but three homos of Koto escaped. Now the two hundred warriors began to destroy both young and old in Obaji land. And they prevailed quickly over the Warriors of Obaji land because they were caught suddenly. 8. And they took over the land. Now some of them took Obaji to the land of Adogwu to meet him. And Adogwu said, the battle of you and I shall be put to an end even now. For I shall be the victor, for I shall kill you. 9. And Obaji said, can you kill my soul? For it is my body you can kill and not my soul. For if I die, my soul shall be found in other spaces of the universe. Therefore I do not fear death from you. 10. And when Adogwu saw that death was not a threat to Obaji, he was angry. And he determined to give him pains rather than immediate death. And Adogwu took a sharp cutlass and cut off his right hand, saying, your left hand is useless and weak, therefore you are made weak. 11. And slowly shall I kill you, O Obaji. And the land which you labour upon for more than twenty years is now mine. 12. Now Obaji groaned in pain, for he had just been amputated. And while Obaji was alone, he said, my ancestors and my gods, rise to my rescue. If I die, let it not be by the hands of Adogwu. 13. I know it is impossible that he would not kill me, for I am helpless, but if nature and my ancestors are actually conscious, let something be done. For I do not fear death, but I fear a history which shall say, Obaji died in the hands of Adogwu. 14. Now when Obaji slept, he saw himself flying, but now he had two complete hands. And Adogwu was below him, staring up at him. And like the page of a leave, the vision flipped away. 15. And Obaji awoke and wondered what it was. 16. Now after one week, one thousand warriors came to the land of Obaji from Koto. For the three homos of Koto who escaped had gone to tell the king the story. And the king sent a thousand warriors. 17. Now the warriors captured the Warriors of Adogwu who were in Obaji. And they proceeded to take Adogwu land. 18. Now when news came to Adogwu, saying, the homos of Koto had invaded our land, he took a knife and went in to Obaji to kill him quickly. And he forcefully pushed the knife towards his chest, but Obaji moved towards the right side swiftly. And the knife went below his armpit, just between his single arm and his chest. 19. And he held the knife with his right hand and fell upon Adogwu. And with his single hand, which was the left hand, did he cut off the head of Adogwu and when he had succeeded, he took the same knife and cut off the rope on his legs. 20. And Obaji escaped into the hands of the Warriors of Koto. And they helped him. 21. And the land of Adogwu became the possession of Koto. And Obaji was taken back to his land. 21. And when Obaji saw the damage which Adogwu had done to his land, he wept and said, if I die and return to the earth ten times, I shall seek whoever is the soul who has returned as Adogwu. And our fight shall continue forever. 22. And after five months, Obaji died, being only sixty six years of age. And he was buried in the palace of the king which was repaired by the Kotoans. And the land of Obaji enjoyed protection and help from the Kotoans until they became great. |
Chapter Thirty-Six 1. In the twentieth year of Ometere upon the throne of Okerune, the land of Obaji began to be well known. For homos from different places and lands began to come to the land and expand it. 2. And Obaji, being the first to be in the land, became the ruler of it. And it was soon known that the homo of a land two hundred metres away were encroaching upon the land of Obaji. 3. And Obaji said, go and find out whom they are. And when they brought back news to him, they said, these are the families of Adogwu who was exiled from Okerune. And Obaji said, surely, they shall do more than this when they find out the history of our own land also. 4. Therefore guard the boarders of our land more carefully. And we shall not attack them until the time when they shall do more than they can handle. For we shall not be a starter of wars. 5. Now Adogwu sent twenty warriors, saying, go into the land next to us and find out its name, it's size and population. And we shall know how to attack them when due. 6. Now five of the twenty homos took bottles and broke them. And they made the tribal marks of the homos of Koto on their faces, saying, the homos of Koto have been known so well for their friendliness. 7. And all lands loved them. So we shall enter this land as if we are from there. 8. Now at the border, they asked them, saying, why do you come to the land? And they said, the king of Koto have sent us to your king, saying, let us be friend. 9. Now they took the five homos to Obaji the king. And he said, welcome to Obaji land. Now we have heard that you come from Koto. 10. Now you shall return to Koto to the king and tell him that we shall be friends with him. 11. And the king gave the five homos some gifts, saying, give all of them to the king. And say to him, it is from Obaji, one who came to this land to start his own kingdom. For he is formally from Okerune. 12. And he came here to dwell without being exiled. 13. Now the homos from Adogwu did not depart until the full moon. For they remained in Obaji and enjoyed how the servants of the king were showing them round the land. And they saw both the weakest and the strongest points in the land. 14. Now after ten days that the first five departed the land, another fifteen homos came and said, the king of Koto have sent us. And he is very happy for the offer of friendship which you have accepted from us. 15. But he said that for him to be sure that you have accepted his offer, let a land be given to us to build houses upon and to farm for a year. And after a year, the king shall come to this land himself to see us. 16. And if he met us in good condition, he shall help this land greatly and make it bigger and richer. And he shall supply food and horses and camels to the land in abundance. 17. And Obaji was glad when he heard this. And immediately he accepted the fifteen homos and gave them what they had requested. 18. Now the fifteen homos enjoyed greatly in Obaji. And they had wives and farms and servants which Obaji had given them. 19. Now on a certain day, Obaji dreamt and saw himself blindfolded with a thick black cloth. And he awoke and wondered what the dream was about. And his mind did not go towards the homos of Adogwu who posed like the homos from Koto. 20. Now five out of the fifteen homos left the land as if they were going to Koto to see the king. And their wives and servants followed them. And they took them to Adogwu instead of Koto. 21. And they said to Adogwu the king, the plan was perfect and it is still perfect till today. For we have stayed for almost one year in Obaji. And there is nothing about the land which we do not know. They are not up to a thousand I'm population yet. And they hide in rocks and caves during wars, for we have been shown the rocks and caves where they take refuge in. 22. For all their rivers and rocks are known to us. And the strength of all their borders are known to us also. For the strength of the borders close to our land are the strongest, but that which led to Odi and Ovi and Ida are not strong at all. 23. Therefore O king, they are well prepared for our attacks, therefore let us not go to them through our land. But let us pass through our ally lands when the time for attack is ripe. 24. And Adogwu said, who are those women and men which you have brought with you? 25. And they said, they are our wives and servants given to us by the king Obaji. For he was very foolish to have believed our lies. 26. And Adogwu said, Obaji has always been foolish, from the time when he was in Okerune as a youth, even till now his old age. 27. And now I shall send him quickly to his grave before he shall realise it. So let these women and the servants be kept in bounds here. And you shall go with two hundred warriors of the land to attack Obaji. 28. Make sure also that you take him alive and bring him to me. For I shall make a mock out of every organ of his body. 29. So the five homos took the two hundred warriors of Adogwu land with them and went through Odi which was an ally land. 30. For the border of Adogwu and Obaji was well secured. |
Chapter Thirty-Five 1. Now when Obaji was the chief priest, he made a new rule, saying, let no human sacrifice ever be made. Let me one sacrifice his child or neighbour for money, for money cannot be made by rituals, neither can the gods make money for the homos. 2. But let every homo work hard to get money. 3. Now here are the things which you can come to the chief priest for; come when you have need of good decisions. Come when you are sick. Come when you are not sure whether you are mentally balanced. 4. But do not come when you need money, for I do not make money. Do not come when you are already completely mad, for the solution to madness is only with nature, therefore do not be deceived by any priest or herbalists who require plenty money from you, saying, I shall cure the madness of your father or your mother or your brother or your sister, or even your child. 5. But if you need advice on how you should deal with your mad ones, come to me and I shall give you such advice. 6. However, do not give up on your mad ones. Rather, meditate on their behalves day after day and call their names. And if it is the desire of nature, it shall intervene. For no one knows what nature works upon before granting the request of a homo. 7. Whether it works upon the strength of an emotion or the strength of a wish or the strength of perseverance or the strength of meditation, no one knows. 8. If you make sacrifices to the gods, do not chase away the mad people who have come to eat the sacrifice. For even I as a god desire that the mad people should be fed daily. 9. And where there are no sacrifices made, what shall the mad people eat? 10. Therefore do not chase them away when they eat the food, for the gods have no need of your food to eat. 11. Now also, Adogwu my predecessor has made it an untold culture to sacrifice a woman to the gods on every Ekuechi festival period, saying, women deserve to be treated as such. 12. But I, Obaji, shall not allow this anymore. For this is a bad culture. 13. Now I have spoken with the king, saying, it is either the killing of a woman for sacrifice on Ekuechi is stopped or the Ekuechi festival itself should stop. 14. And Ohinoyi Ometere said, the culture which Ohinoyi Okatahi began shall not be stopped by me. For that alone is what he is remembered for in this land. But I do not support the killing of a woman for sacrifice myself, for that was the idea of Adogwu and not mine. 15. And he said that it was the idea of the gods and the gods shall be angry if it is taking away. 16. Now I said, Adogwu is indeed a wicked soul. For even when Ovavi the wife of Ohinoyi Okatahi was in charge of the Ohinoyi festival, she did not involve human sacrifice in it. Why then did Adogwu bring in such thing? 17. So I Obaji have removed human sacrifice from the festival henceforth. 18. Now all the things Obaji said were not satisfactory to the other priests and herbalists of the land. And they connive together to see how he shall be stopped. 19. Now they said, the women which we have encountered in the past, we beat them and let them go free. But henceforth, let us watch out for any woman. And if anyone is caught, we shall kill her for a sacrifice. 20. For in doing such shall we be doing the will of the gods. 21. And so they found a woman who did not know that the festival had begun. And she came into the land and was caught. And the herbalists and traditionists cut her to pieces and shared her organs. 22. And one called Omije took the head of the woman. Now two days after, Obaji visited the house of Omije and saw the head there. For he kept it in a place where it could be easily seen. 23. And Obaji cried out, saying, what have you done? And Omije told him all about it. And Obaji became angry. And he called all the traditionalists and herbalists together, saying, what have you done? 24. And they said, she saw the Ekuechi masquerades with her eyes, which is a great abomination. And Obaji said, the judgement for such thing is not death, so why did you kill her and even cut her to pieces like this? 25. And they spoke against Obaji, saying, who even made you a chief priest? For we do not know you among the priests or herbalists before until the shameful fall of Adogwu. Therefore do not interfere in our matter for you are not superior to us. 26. Now Obaji was angry and sad. And he went to the king, saying, I shall give up my position as the chief priest of the land, because I have been under-appreciated. And Obaji gave up his position. 27. Then the other priests and traditionalists came to the king, saying, release Adogwu and set him back in the position of a chief priest. And Ometere said, it is impossible for me to put Adogwu back into the position which he held before, but I shall exile him from the land with his children. 28. So Adogwu and his children were sent out of the land. And after a short while, Obaji saw in his meditation that he should leave the land also. And he left the land to begin a land which was named after him. |

Chapter Thirty-Four 1. In the fourth year of the reign of Ohinoyi Ometere, some homos broke into the house of the chief priest of the land. And they stole the images and the shells and cowries and many traditional things. And the beads were also stolen. 2. Now the chief priest told it to the king. And the king made announcement through the town cries, saying, let those who went into the shrine to steal return the things which they stole. For they shall die in seven days if they do not return those things. 3. Now no one showed up even till the sixth day. And there was no death for the six days. And on the sixth day, a widow named Ajine went and fetched cassava from the farm of her husband who had died. And because there was no food which they would eat, she prepared the cassava and said, eat my children. 4. Now when the children of Ajine had eaten the cassava, they had very great complications. And they began to feel weak. 5. Now Ajine rushed to the native doctors for help. And they said, you have not told us the truth concerning your children. For they actually went into the shrine to steal the wealth of our gods. 6. And they shall die for that which they did. 7. And Ajine said, I fed them with cassava. And they have not taken anything from the shrine, for they have no idea where the shrine is located, much less that they should steal from there. 8. Now Ajine got no help from the native doctor. And she waited on only the palm oil which she gave them to drink. But before dusk, they both died such that she had no child anymore. 9. And the death of her son affected her and made her mad. Now when she ran mad, the chief priest said, it is the punishment by the gods. For no one can offend the gods and go free. 10. And the people began to fear the gods greatly, saying, the gods shall strike us dead like the family of Ajine if we do not obey their wish. 11. Now when Adogwu the chief priest had seen how the homos of the land respected and feared the gods, he began to put fear into their minds in the names of the gods. And he mentioned how the gods destroyed the family of Ajine in the hearings of all the children and adults. 12. And Adogwu went to houses to make them fear. And he took many houses and lands from their owners, saying, the gods need your land and your house. And they fearfully gave their farms and houses to him. 13. Now a homo called Obaji was rich. And Adogwu coveted his wealth. And he thought how he shall collect his land and house from him. 14. And Adogwu told Obaji, saying, the gods are in need of your house and land. And Obaji wondered about the saying of Adogwu, but did not reply him any word. 15. And Obaji slept upon his bed and wondered deep into his sleep, saying, where do the gods want me to sleep after leaving all my things to them? And Obaji saw himself in another place. 16. And he saw things which he had never imagined. And he saw great lights which he could not describe. And he felt that he had been set free. 17. Now Obaji remembered what was bothering his mind. And while he thought of it in that realm, something ran like a flash of idea into his mind, saying, you are one of the gods. 18. And Obaji awoke from his sleep and said, this dream is strange. And when Adogwu came in the evening to ask for the house and land which he has requested of the hands of Obaji, he told him saying, I am one of the gods. 19. And Adogwu said, do not try to do anything smart, for this did the children of Ajine, who refused to return what they stole and died after six days of my proclamation. 20. Now Obaji, son of Avosuahi, if you refuse to give your land and house to the gods also, you shall be dead within seven days. 21. And Obaji said within himself, should I give my house and my land? For if I do so, I shall not die. And if I have life in me, there is hope that I shall get the land and house back in three fold. 22. So Obaji went so that he could see Adogwu and tell him that he had surrendered the house and the land to the gods, but he did not meet him at home. And he saw how the children of Adogwu came out of the house with two bags. 23. And Obaji suspected them because of how they did. And he followed them with his eyes. And he saw how they entered a bush. And Obaji followed after them. And the buyers of the things which were in the bags emerged. 24. And Obaji returned to his house and waited to hear if Adogwu would announce that anything was stolen from the shrine. Now that same night, it was announced that some homos stole from the shrine and it was given to them seven days to return what they stole or they shall face the wrath of the gods. 25. And it was also announced, saying, Obaji has refused to obey the voices of the gods. And he has withheld his house and land from the gods, therefore within seven days he shall die, except if he changed his mind and give them to the gods before seven days. 26. Now Obaji slept and found himself in other places again. And when he was about to awake, he heard, take care of your life. 27. And Obaji pondered upon what he had heard. And he wondered. And Obaji began to watch out for tragedy. And on the sixth day, while Obaji was asleep, a homo came to kill him. 28. And the homo climbed down from the roof. And Obaji felt the need to go out of his sleep, for a word flash through his mind, saying, wake! And Obaji awoke and saw the homos while he was climbing down into the room. 29. And the homo had set over his face on of the masks of the Ekuechi masquerades. And Obaji held him tight and collected the knife from him. And Obaji tied his arms and feet and carried him to the king when it was early the next morning. 30. And Ometere the king cried out, saying, Obaji what have you done? How do you bind a god like this? And Obaji said, if a god comes to kill another god in the middle of the night, the stronger god shall overcome. 31. For you have heard how Adogwu announced by his criers saying, Obaji shall die in seven days if he does not release his house and land to the gods. And this is the seventh day, but I am still as healthy as I am. 32. And I am strong also. And this masquerade came last night to kill me, but I overpowered him. 33. Now Ohinoyi Ometere said, this mask is one of those in the shrine. And it is for the Ekuechi festival. Now let Adogwu be called upon to say how it is now worn by this masquerade. 34. Now when they sought for Adogwu in his abode, they could not find him. And they opened the face of the masquerade and saw the face of Adogwu beneath the mask. 35. And Adogwu was ashamed. And Obaji said, why have you determined to kill me, O Adogwu? For when you saw that I did not move or fear the threats which you brought up, you have determined to kill me yourself, so that you can say, it is the doing of the gods. 36. But I have overcome you today because I have also known myself as a god and one of the gods. Why then should I be afraid of my co-gods? 37. And why should I offer my substances to my co-gods when I am also a god? 38. Now Adogwu, you shall be shamed these days. And the whole land shall know of your deception. 39. Now Ohinoyi Ometere said to Obaji, do to him whatever you wish, for he is not worth to be a chief priest. For he has lied in the names of the gods. Therefore you shall take his place. 40. For whoever overcomes a god shall be seen as a god himself. 41. Now Obaji took Adogwu round the village on foot and disgraced him. For he did not untie him. And Obaji also revealed the deeds of the children of Adogwu, how they had been the ones stealing from the shrine and not the children of Ajine. And the children of Adogwu were kept in prison as well as their father. |
Chapter Thirty-Three 1. Now Ometere and the elders of the land sat together to make the land better again. And the elders, who had been oppressed by Ovavi and the other women said, the memory which the Ohinoyi festival has brought with it is very bad. 2. Therefore we shall end this festival and make it unknown in the history of our land. Or else our women shall continue to be rebellious to us. 3. And Ometere said, it is not necessary that the festival should be totally stopped, but rather, let the name of it be changed and let the things which are performed during the festival be changed also. 4. And the elders and chiefs accepted the proposal of Ohinoyi Ometere. And they went away, saying, we shall present the name of the festival on the next day of meeting. 5. Now when the people came, they presented the name of it, saying, it shall be Ekuechi, for the men shall take revenge again upon the women. And it shall be done without the presence of any woman. And it shall be towards the end of the year. 6. And so the festival was observed annually as before, but it was now observed towards the end every year. For when it was called Ohinoyi festival, it was done only in the middle of the year. 7. Now a decree was made, saying, let no woman come out to see the festival, but let them all stay within their roofs. For it is not for the women to see what is done in the festival. And whichever woman refuses to obey, she shall be put to death. 8. So the women of Ebir were no more allowed to participate in the festival which began as the Ohinoyi festival. 9. And the homos from Itaho came to Okerune yearly to celebrate it, for they said, Ometere the king is our man. And we shall honour him by so doing. And the Ekuechi festival was well known in the lands of Ebir till these days. 10. Now Ohinoyi Ometere did many things in Ebir while he was on the throne. For he made the land stronger. And he encouraged the farmers to plant many crops, saying, if the people come from the east and west and the South and North, they shall seek to eat and buy yams and other food crops home. 11. And if they buy the cassavas, apapara and gorigo from our land, they shall by so doing contribute to the wealth of our land. |
GodsMopol:Sorry to say, but you have not started the journey to self realization and spirituality at all. If you have begun, you would have discarded the bolded fallacy and see God directly as yourself. The way to God Almighty is inherent in everyone and anyone. It is only the ignorant people who go through another person rather than themselves. You haven't started the journey to realising yourself at all, just like the rest of the sheeple. I OTEM am the way to God Almighty the father of Yahweh, Allah, Vishnu, Atum, Moloch, Eshu, Olorun, etc. but I am not the only way to God Almighty. |

But seriously, why do Nigerians Think that to Criticize a man of God the punishment is death that somehow their god is going to kill the person or maybe some kind of wrath is gonna pour down on the person from their God? is it a kind of Christian Doctrine?
