BREAD AND BUTTER CLERICS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Are Parading As Indigenous Priests
Whereas They Are
Foreign Stooges
There has been a retinue of
charlatans in every profession in the world since the agricultural perspectives
that Cain, the farmer and Abel, the shepherd introduced to the rest of humanity
if the biblical legends and/or religious fables are worth their whiles! What is
indigenous in a half-baked cleric who does not realise that he is only a pawn
in the chessboard of Roman Sacredotal Nationals that have dominated the scene
in Christendom since the Constantinian misadventure of bastardising the true ‘Good
News of the Lord Jesus’ with the Mithranism era of Roman idolatry? For 500
years the baton of Papacy had always been handed over to only Roman citizens until
lately, when Pope John Paul I was poisoned to death by fellow cardinals
contesting for the throne of the Roman Catholic Papacy! Pope John Paul II
surfaced as a belated consensus candidate. To date the reconciliatory position
of the late Pope has not been accepted by hardcore Roman Theologians who see
the throne as their birthright! When can other nations produce Popes as in past
centuries? Was Jesus a native of Rome? Why has the Papacy continued to operate
from Rome, whereas the birthplace of Jesus was/is Nazareth or Bethlehem? Why
Muslims go to Mecca and Medina is obvious! When, therefore, shall Christians
all over the world, especially Roman Catholics, become as reasonable as Muslims?
Take a cue from the Roman
Catholic Priests of African descent who, to date , do not realise that the
elite members of their congregations see them merely as the ‘Matthews’ and ‘Zaccheaeus’
of our times. To date, without being conscious of their neo-colonial roles in
destroying our authentic cultural heritage; they are the errand boys of Roman Christian
Imperialism and gradually events they stage-manage in the name of the Papacy
reveal they are nothing but saboteurs in the overall panoroma of genuine religiosity
in the land of our birth!The desecration of our ancient taboos (*nso ala*) and
bastardisation of the authentic norms and mores of our pristine holy ancestors
is the remote cause of religious apathy among the politicians and youths of
today! Some of our ‘been-to’ clerics revel in the moral decadence they learnt
at the various European countries they are sent to study and only return to
corrupt the few upright clerics who they consider naive and inexperienced
because they hold on to the sacred vows they took at their ordinations! These
nonchallant ‘tax collectors’ or AMC for Roman Theologians and their Religious
Imperialists should be halted. It is better we have a few priests
who can sanctify our parishes than a long retinue of Satan’s disciples hiding
under the cloak of Roman Catholic Clergy while leading the whole congregation
to hell. The time to call a spade by its real name is now! I am only blowing the
whistle early enough so that our lovely children and generations yet unborn
will not end up as demons in hellfire, if what we are brainwashed to believe as
doctrines and dogmas really exist!

This
is an up-date on the original diatribe entitled “ GRADUATES OF SATAN’S UNIVERSI TY” that the enthusiastic or
avid reader can find at my other websites:
Where I was born, we have this local saying; ‘He
who does not know where the rainfall starting beating him, will never know
where it stopped’. Another warns; “A rat that joins a lizard in playing
in the rain, to remember that when the lizard is dry, it will still be wet.”
In my culture, one does not interpret proverbs. I dare
do so for my readers who are non-indigenes of Igbo land; both idioms imply that
anyone who does not know who he is or where he is coming from will definitely
not know where he is going! The words of the elders of my people of Biafra are definitely words of wisdom. They can write a
doctoral thesis with just an idiom or a statement of the fact with a simple
analogy!
Let’s look at these: The bat is totally blind and
is neither an animal of the sky nor of the land! The bat is neither a bird nor
a rodent for it hasn’t any feathers yet it flies! And though it has the anatomy
of mammals and a skin with furs it neither crawls nor runs on all fours, yet it
feeds like birds, amphibians and rodents! The bat says he knows how ugly it is,
so it has resolved to fly only at night! What a tragedy! These unreverend men
and women should emulate the bat!
A DIALOGUE OVERHEARD IN HELL
An armed robber who died on
active service found himself in front of Lucifer, the Prince of Hell. He was
hailed as an exemplary ambassador who had done very well while on earth. He had
despatched hundreds of souls who were not given time to repent and so was
placed nearest the top echelon of the executive class, as a Superintendent -
Grade 1. While on a guided tour of his area of command, he saw two of the mass
servers in his former parish. Surprised finding them here after their pious
services at all liturgical celebrations; he queried them with an air of
authority.
“What
are you two doing here?” “King
Kong!” (For that was his popular nickname on earth) “Paddy, Na-waoh! Na so we see-a-moh- ooh! We stole and drank more altar
wine than all the priests and bishops did in five years during our six months
service as altar boys. The wine was not only sweet but also very intoxicating.
We died on our way to hospital because of a fatal accident we had after the
Good Friday vigil mass. It was our last bout of twenty litres of the red
Italian brew!”
“Sorry, so you common thieves pretended that you
were good boys! Who said that armed robbers were worse? Yeah, the Catechist.”
They cut in, “Sh-sh – that Parish Catechist you’re
talking about is down here in a hotter part of this inferno!”
As if in doubt, he called
out to the elderly man to taunt him. “Baba-a
how now?” To his greatest amazement, he was informed that the Parish Priest
that officiated at his wedding was still far down below. He protested to his
tour guide, “No, this is injustice! How
can my friend, ‘the man of God’ we all revered on earth be condemned to hell
after his twenty-five years meritorious service as a Rev. Father on earth? No,
something’s wrong here!”
He only sobered when the
priest responded thus: “King Kong, my
dear, the Archbishop who ordained me is even farther down below and he arrived
before all of us. He was the Vice Chancellor of the University of Satan I attended. We are graduates of the seminaries where
they taught the art of preaching, deception and subterfuge! He holds three
doctorate degrees! One of them, a post-doctoral, he earned in sexual
promiscuity.”
The Archbishop was
in so much pain, he just kept mute!
Now, refresh your mind with
what earned Phinehas, the son of Aaron, the special favour of God that turned
away his wrath from the idolatrous and promiscuous life they turned into while
he delivered them from Egypt :
Numbers
25:1-15
25:1 While Israel was staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in
sexual immorality with Moabite women,
2 who invited them to the sacrifices to their gods.
The people ate and bowed down before these gods.
3 So Israel joined in worshipping the Baal of Peor. And the LORD's
anger burned against them.
4 The LORD said to Moses, "Take all the leaders
of these people, kill them and expose them in broad daylight before the LORD,
so that the LORD's fierce anger may turn away from Israel ."
5 So Moses said to Israel 's judges, "Each of you must put to death those
of your men who have joined in worshipping the Baal of Peor."
6 Then an Israelite man brought to his family a
Midianite woman right before the eyes of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel while they were weeping at the entrance to the Tent
of Meeting.
7 When Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron,
the priest, saw this, he left the assembly, took a spear in his hand
8 and followed the Israelite into the tent. He drove
the spear through both of them-- through the Israelite and into the woman's
body. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped;
9 but those who died in the plague numbered 24,000.
10 The LORD said to Moses,
11 "Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron,
the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites; for he was as zealous
as I am for my honour among them, so that in my zeal I did not put an end to
them.
12 Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of
peace with him.
13 He and his descendants will have a covenant of a
lasting priesthood, because he was zealous for the honour of his God and made
atonement for the Israelites."
14 The name of the Israelite who was killed with the
Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, the leader of a Simeonite family.
15 And the name of the Midianite woman who was put
to death was Cozbi daughter of Zur, a tribal chief of a Midianite family.
I have no commentary to add. If the cap fits your
head, then wear it!
This association is the Phinehas of this century and has a duty to
perform.
You can also replace ‘son of Eleazar’ with ‘the son of Kenez’ to get my
gist!
Today, the errand
pseudo-clerics are bastardising our cultural festivities, like ICHI OZO, NEW
YAM FESTIVALS & IGBA OFALA, which the white missionaries, in their
ignorance labelled heathen rituals with ‘holier-than-thou’ missionary fiat!
FOREWORD
CLERICAL
CELIBACY HAS OUT-LIVED ITS USEFULNESS
There was a time when Catholic Reverend Fathers and
Reverend Sisters on missionary services in this country were really admired,
respected and idolised! That was in my teens when the Late Bishop Shanahan was
still an ordinary priest! Rev. Fr. Bindel was the Parish Priest of Ihiala, then
a very large area extending as far away as Emekuku, Orlu and Oguta! They rode
long distances on Hercules bicycles carrying out their evangelistic duties.
They trekked most of the time and made converts by using the very few
semi-literate natives as their interpreters!
These interpreters were later promoted to Catechists
and soon wielded much power! They taught pagans catechism classes in the
vernacular language and only those they certified as having passed their
examinations were baptised. They stood between every catechumen and the
sacraments of baptism, confession, confirmation, matrimony and even the
irregular reception of the Holy Eucharist! You could neither see any Rev. Fr.
nor receive any of these sacraments without greasing their palms! No girls or
women ever came close to the parish houses, not to mention having handshakes
with any priest!
The Rev. Sisters wore sparkling ankle-length white
gowns and their head-gear with a tall hood and overflowing veils covered every
part of their heads except for just the outline of their faces. I never saw
their ears! To us little urchins at the turn of the century, they were angels.
After all the pictures in our catechism classes were made of white skins. They
were all white women. We never dreamt that we would, in later years, have our
own black sisters and daughters qualified to become Rev. Sisters. No one ever
imagined that a black skinned woman could ever be dressed like these white
angels. These angels were our earliest teachers, nurses, midwives and doctors.
They ran the few mission schools and hospitals that were then in existence at
Ihiala and Emekuku. We adored and loved them for their motherly care but, at
the same time, we hated their injection needles!
We were told that both the priests and nuns were
virgins. It was even rumoured that they had no sexual parts to their bodies.
They were ‘castrated’ was the naïve belief that made the rumour rounds then! We
assumed that the nuns had neither breasts nor large buttocks like our mothers
and aunts! How were we to find out? The priests were covered all over with
their flowing white soutanes that they never put off in our presence. “Did they
ever urinate or defecate?” we wondered! I never saw any of them in short
knickers although I was a mass server for several years at St Martin ’s Parish, Odo-ata Ihiala, now in Ihiala Local
Government Area of Anambra State . In addition, we never saw the ears, necks and feet
of the nuns. During clinical attendance they wore gloves, so we were partially
denied seeing their hands and fingers. “Did these ladies know how to cook?” we
pondered!
That the priests were chaste and the nuns, virgins,
were assumed! We never saw the priests and nuns chat together, hug each other
or stroll along any road side by side. They were discreet and circumspect. They
were conscious of their vows of celibacy and public image knowing that they
were continuously being watched day and night. So, they never scandalised us
nor gave us the chance to suspect them! That was in the early 1930s and 1940s.
We gradually began to notice that many nuns went on leaves that were termed
“annual” and understood why some others that lasted beyond twelve months were
termed “sudden”, “casual” or “sick.” Soon, our own sons and daughters were
admitted into seminaries and convents. By the 1950s, some were ordained and
professed respectively. This first set never scandalised us! We never suspected
that they could lower the standards set by these missionary white angels! That
was before the Nigeria-Biafra civil war that lasted from 1967 to 1970. The
wind blew strongly so the hen’s anus was clearly seen by all!
All that changed as the scales fell off our eyes.
Our religious blinkers were forcibly removed by what we saw during the civil
war at the few Caritas Feeding Centres that we naturally located within the
parish premises. We saw a lot. Some printable, others not whisper-able!
Promiscuity was the mildest term for describing what the refugee women
described as own contributions to the war effort! Our clergymen and women
were the butt of their sexual exploits as relief items like stockfish, egg-yolk
and milk were exchanged for amorous relationships. Some wore the glamorous
foreign dresses donated by CARITAS & WCC that were meant for homeless refugees that left
their wardrobes behind!
“Have they
also eaten the forbidden fruit” was the mildest joke about what we knew was
happening at our local parishes. There was a conspiracy of silence by all the
culprits!
The war unmasked everyone. Today, my ten-year-old
niece knows that priests are anything but celibate! Most mass servers can swear
that beside heterosexual indulgence involving widows, married and unmarried
women in our parishes, our self-professed celibates clandestinely practise
homosexualism and lesbianism! It is no longer news that paedophilia is the
scourge of the Catholic clergy in the United States of America . Nor is it news here in Africa that our own
brothers and sisters, ‘self-proclaimed celibates’, have secret wives and
husbands with their illicit children tucked away in remote villages and the
dark alleys of streets in our urban areas!
Even among our Protestant communities, legally
married pastors indulge in adulterous relationships without any qualms of
conscience. Prominent television evangelists are now caught pants down at
brothels. In the Catholic hierarchy, most of our so-called celibates, males and
females, are not only promiscuous, but revel in homosexual and lesbian
relationships. Some are pathological Casanovas and Nymphomaniacs! Hell is let
loose as most of the demons there are now living in our parishes and convents.
It is more of a rat race than an epidemic! There seems to be gold, silver and
bronze prizes reserved for those who excel in this sexual revolution among our
celibate community!
In addition, no one wants to be left behind to pick
up a bronze medal! Some have secretly fathered children and are using church
funds to maintain them. The female celibates go on the pill or commit abortion
monthly, dilatation & curettage being their favourite option! Others build
houses and sponsor their concubines in tertiary educations. The ‘been-tos’
among them send their girlfriends overseas for summer holidays. Others receive
and entertain their white girlfriends, right here in Nigeria !
No one seems to be bothered by this anomaly.
Recently, however, some local ordinaries were forced to set up special diocesan
tribunals to investigate some of the reports they received from parishioners
who were/are the victims of this immoral revolution! Some married women have
lost their husbands to some pretty and sensuous Rev. Sisters! Equally, some
members of the C.M.O, whose wives have been snatched by vivacious and amorous
Rev. Fathers, are also complaining. Who can redeem us from these demonic
onslaughts?
The association for the abrogation of celibacy in
the Catholic Church is the answer! Their Animator International, Dr Jideofo
Kenechukwu Danmbaezue, categorically states; “Celibacy is a legislation that
can be abrogated anytime.” It is a
convenience that can be dispensed with as soon as it is grossly abused and
becomes counterproductive. That is what it is for now! Therefore, it must be abrogated
or, in the least optionalised!
In support of this
assertion, I reprint here unabridged, a letter downloaded from the Internet,
which states in concise and unequivocal terms that the Catholic Church does
not, has never and will never teach CELIBACY.
“CELIBACY AND CATHOLIC TEACHING
Father Mateo, August 28, 1982
GZ | Blessings in The Name of Our Lord!
GZ | For centuries The Roman Rite has been
teaching the laity that celibacy is demanded of ALL Priests... Yet since the
beginning of The Catholic Church this has not been so... I.E. St.Peter had a
wife per St Paul ’s Writings... Anglican Priests are being accepted on a case by case
basis into The Roman Jurisdictions... Not to mention Other Rites that have
always held celibacy as an option rather than a mandate....
GZ | What source is generally available to the
laity that will clarify this issue?
GZ | Shalom,
GZ | Gayle
Dear Gayle: May I humbly suggest that the Roman
Rite doesn't teach anybody anything!
The official teachers of the Church are the
Bishops in
union with the Pope, and they can be and are of all the rites. For
example, Pius XI belonged to the Ambrosian Rite, as did Paul VI. John Paul II recently celebrated Mass in the Mozarabic Rite, although he comes from the Roman Rite.

Secondly, the Church doesn't "teach the
laity". The Church teaches
all her members. The Church is not "us" vs. "them". We are all the
Church and members of one another, in need of the gospel of God.

anything whatever about

Celibacy. The objects of Church teaching are (1) doctrine and (2) morals. Celibacy is neither. Celibacy is a matter of Church legislation.
The law of celibacy, which has been universal in
the Latin rites since the Middle Ages, is of ecclesiastical origin and may
therefore be dispensed in individual cases. Conceivably, it could be entirely
abrogated. An easily available treatment of this matter (it is scarcely an
issue) is the article "Celibacy" in the New Catholic Encyclopaedia.

This is coming from an authority on the subject under scrutiny. He is an
Israelite! He studied in Rome ! He is an ordained priest
of the Roman Rite and has been in service for thirty-five years. You have no
reason to doubt what he says! “If clerical celibacy has out-lived its
usefulness, what is the need of clinging tenaciously to it? This is an
absurdity on the part of the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy”. In medical
language, it is giving a wrong diagnosis while a sick patient is in a comatose
state! Alternatively, shall we take it that the Church Fathers support the
numerous sex scandals rocking the boat? Or, has it become so insensitive to the
evidence of cases of paedophilia in USA , of lesbian and homosexual
relationships reported in the mass media and so many incidences of promiscuity
in other parts of the globe and that warrants our “separated brethren” laughing
us to scorn? Why has the Pope and the Cardinals turned their eyes the other
way? Are they neck deep in these scandals themselves? Probably it is a case of
those living in glass houses not throwing stones at each other? They are blind
pastors leading the faithful!
Our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, had prophesied about them when he
compared them to the religious leaders of his time. He reiterated that they
were hypocrites that devoured the homes of widows. He labelled them, “white
sepulchres, which on the outside looked clean but were rotten and decaying on
the inside.” Anyone who deceptively takes a vow of celibacy and deliberately
violates it regularly without any pricks of the conscience is a demon and definitely
a disciple of Satan! That is why we refer to them as ‘Postgraduates of Satan’s
University.’ They are candidates for hellfire and they will lead as many of us
as they can to the same place. They are only working for their master, Lucifer!
Listen to what Jesus Christ said about such hypocrites who take false vows in the
New Testament account of Matthew’s Gospel, Chapter 23, vv. 25 - 28:
“How
terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You clean
the outside of your cup and plate, while the inside is full of what you have
obtained by violence and selfishness.
Blind Pharisee! Clean what is inside the cup first, and then the outside
will be clean too! “How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees!
You hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look fine on the outside
but are full of bones and decaying corpses on the inside. In the same way, on
the outside you appear good to everybody, but on the inside, you are full of
hypocrisy and sins.”
My dear
false clerics; does anyone need an interpretation for those simple statements
of facts? What does a tomb covered with tiles look like theses days? Sparkling White!
Suppose you dig up the contents after three months of burying a human corpse in
it, what will you find inside? Dry bones, the skull nails, hairs, the teeth and
may be some decaying flesh!
Today,
that is what the Nigerian clergy is! Our Protestant married priests are now
preferred by rational Christians! Many of
these erring brothers and sisters of our Catholic community come to my clinic. Others
go to physicians and gynaecologists who are not Catholics to procure abortion;
and probably in mufti, and still accomplish their infanticide missions. Nevertheless,
that does not solve the matter! Our teaching hospitals and private clinics are
inundated with so many cases that I blush whenever I meet with some of the
irreverent ‘Rev. Fathers and Sisters!’ I may be forced to document some of
these aberrations if nothing tangible is done by the local ordinaries of these
erring sons and daughters of ours! This is definitely a case of “abomination
standing in a holy place”!
During the civil war, I handled more than five hundred cases, mostly out
of paternal concern and humanitarian principles. I pitied the refugee girls and
women who were the commonest preys of these amorous parish priests that used
stockfish, egg-yolk and milk, donated by CARITAS as their baits! Often, I had
to turn some unrepentant ones back. To date, the story has not changed much!
Only their baits have changed and their methodologies have greatly been
improved on. Their new treacheries and cover-ups have undergone metamorphosis,
but they can never outwit old hands in our profession!
My colleagues, still in active service, report that the upsurge is
astronomical. The most current evidence to buttress the incidence and frequency
of these scandalous practices by our ‘celibate children’ is that five hundred
cases of HIV/AIDS involving Rev. Fathers and Sisters have been recorded at all
the teaching hospitals nation-wide. The story is the same in other sister
African countries; Ghana, Ivory Coast, Tanzania, Uganda, Gambia, Kenya, Ethiopia,
Liberia, Malawi, Angola and South Africa! The papacy must exempt Africans from
this foolery of pretences at a celibate culture! It is ‘Un-African’, to say
the least. Moreover, the scandalous lessons this clerical subterfuge passes on
to our youth, most especially the young girls and women who are the victims of
these amorous relationships does more harm to their spiritual development than
whatever ablutions they get at their routine weekly confessions. It is a
blatant mockery of the Sacrament of Reconciliation!
By God’s grace, I am nearly an octogenarian. It is ‘Un-African’ for an
elder to see evil, sit complacently and not warn the youth about its impending
and disastrous consequences. I have done my duty! If nothing is done, and fast
too, we shall be left with no option than to assert that celibacy is a
canonical camouflage designed by the Papacy to shelter all those who are
incapable of living the monogamous lifestyle demanded by the sacrament of Holy
Matrimony! It shall then be obvious that it is an institutionalised welcome
haven for those having socio-pathological inadequacies! For now, that is what
it represents among the Igbos of Biafra in West Africa, who love children and
cherish ethical family life dearly!
Current sex scandals in
Catholic dioceses all over the world and in many parishes of the African Church
have necessitated the timely formation of an association of deeply concerned
parents, with the sole objective of sanitising the congregation of what is
regarded today as the greatest demonic attack on decency, purity, holiness and
social ethics! Many postgraduates of Satan’s universities have invaded our
churches. We urgently need to checkmate them!
IT IS SEX SCANDALS GALORE AS AT NOW!
It is hoped that this
association, as a child of necessity, will save us the recurrent shame,
stigmatisation and embarrassment serious minded members of the clergy and our
faithful laity suffer at the hands of our separated brethren. They are fully
aware of the deceit going on. Now they deride us on the false claims we make on
celibacy and so laugh us to scorn! We have no excuses for the flagrant
violations of the vows of chastity and virginity by our sons and daughters! The
words of Apostle Peter, in 2nd Peter 2: 17-22, Good News Bible
edition (GNB) is prophetic and says it all!
v.17: These men are like dried-up springs, like clouds blown along by a
storm; God has reserved a place for them in the deepest darkness.
v.18: They make proud and stupid statements, and use immoral bodily
lusts to trap those who are just beginning to escape from among people who live
in error.
v.19: They promise them freedom
while they themselves are slaves of destructive habits—for a person is a slave
of anything that has conquered him.
v.20: If people have escaped
from the corrupting forces of the world through their knowledge of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ, and then are again caught and conquered by them, such
people are in a worse state at the end than they were at the beginning.
v.21: It would have been much
better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than to know it and
then turn away from the sacred command that was given them.
v.22: What happened to them
shows that the proverbs are true:
“A dog goes back to what it has vomited” and “A pig that has been
washed goes back to roll in the mud.”
What else can be more appropriate
in describing our erring religious hypocrites than the last two verses? One
takes a vow of chastity or that of virginity after fifteen years of training at
the seminary or a minimum of seven years after a postulancy at a convent
respectively. Thereafter, such candidates flaunt the vow and unrepentantly
indulge in promiscuous sexual exploits shortly after a mission-sponsored
tutelage and the diocesan ceremonies of ordinations or solemn professions
usually well orchestrated and extensively financed by the laity! This cancerous sore deserves a surgical
excision!
Is this not a variant of the
abominations of desolation standing in holy places?
Has Satan taken over our
seminaries and convents or are the spiritual directors and formators to be held
responsible for this turn of events? Subterfuge, deceit and pretence must have been
so eulogised, practised and indulged in at some of the religious training
grounds, otherwise how can anyone explain how these wolves in sheep’s clothing
survived the rigorous classical conditioning and role-modelling of their spiritual
formators for so long. The sorrows of parents of these wayward candidates are
better imagined than experienced!
The situation has so got out
of hand that the warnings of Jesus Christ himself now apply to our clergy. The
whole of chapter twenty-three of the gospel according to Matthew is an apt
description of the depravity of most of our present day priests! Currently,
about fifty-five cases of reported HIV/AIDS patients in our teaching hospitals
are those of our young men and women in religious cassocks, gowns and veils of
all descriptions. However only one appellation truly fits them all, and that
is- HYPOCRITES!
THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM FOR OUR HOME
GROWN CLERICS
Matt
19:16-20:1
16
Now behold, one came and said to Him, "Good Teacher, what good thing shall
I do that I may have eternal life?"
17
So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that
is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
18
He said to Him, "Which ones?" Jesus said, " 'You shall not
murder,' 'You shall not commit adultery,' 'You shall not steal,' 'You shall not
bear false witness,' 19'Honor your
father and your mother,' and, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
"
20
The young man said to Him, "All these things I have kept from my youth.
What do I still lack?"
21
Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and
give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow
Me."
22
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had
great possessions.
23
Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard
for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24
And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a
needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
25
When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, "Who
then can be saved?"
26
But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible,
but with God all things are possible."
27
Then Peter answered and said to Him, "See, we have left all and followed
You. Therefore what shall we have?"
28
So Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration,
when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me
will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or
wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and
inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and the last
first.

SO THAT IT BE NOT CONSTRUE D THAT THIS REV OLUNTIONARY WRITER IS
PREACHING TO OUR WAYWARD CLERICS, LET US LISTEN TO ADAM CLARKE’S SCHOLARLY
COMMENTARIES OF ADULTERY etc
Matthew 5:28 Mt 5:28
28 But <de> I <ego> say
<lego> unto you <humin>, That <hoti> whosoever <pas>
looketh <blepo> on a woman <gune> to <pros> lust after
<epithumeo> her <autos> hath committed adultery <moicheuo>
with her <autos> already <ede> in <en> his <autos>
heart <kardia>. (KJV)
28 But I say to you that every one who looks
at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
(RSV)
Verse
28. Whosoever looketh on a woman to
lust after her] epiyumsai authn, earnestly to covet her. The verb, epiyumew, is undoubtedly used here
by our Lord, in the sense of coveting through the influence of impure
desire. The word is used in precisely
the same sense, on the same subject, by Herodotus, book the first, near the
end. I will give the passage, but I dare
not translate it. To the learned reader
it will justify my translation, and the unlearned must take my word. thv epiyumhsei gunaikov massagethv anhr,
misgetai adewv, Raphelius, on this verse, says, epiyumein hoc loco, est turpi
cupiditate mulieris potiundae flagrare.
In all these eases, our blessed Lord points out the spirituality of the
law; which was a matter to which the Jews paid very little attention. Indeed it is the property of a Pharisee to
abstain only from the outward crime. Men
are very often less inquisitive to know how far the will of God extends, that
they may please him in performing it, than they are to know how far they may
satisfy their lusts without destroying their bodies and souls, utterly, by an
open violation of his law.
Hath committed adultery with her already in
his heart.] It is the earnest wish or
desire of the soul, which, in a variety of cases, constitutes the good or evil
of an act. If a man earnestly wish to
commit an evil, but cannot, because God puts time, place, and opportunity out
of his power, he is fully chargeable with the iniquity of the act, by that God
who searches and judges the heart. So,
if a man earnestly wish to do some kindness, which it is out of his power to
perform, the act is considered as his; because God, in this case, as in that
above, takes the will for the deed. If
voluntary and deliberate looks and desires make adulterers and adulteresses,
how many persons are there whose whole life is one continued crime! whose eyes
being full of adultery, they cannot cease from sin, 2Pe 2:14. Many would abhor
to commit one external act before the eyes of men, in a temple of stone; and
yet they are not afraid to commit a multitude of such acts in the temple of
their hearts, and in the sight of God!
Matthew 15:19 Mt 15:19
19 For <gar> out of <ek>
the heart <kardia> proceed <exerchomai> evil <poneros>
thoughts <dialogismos>, murders <phonos>, adulteries
<moicheia>, fornications <porneia>, thefts <klope>, false
witness <pseudomarturia>, blasphemies <blasphemia>: (KJV)
19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts,
murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander. (RSV)
Verse
19. Out of the heart] In the heart of an unregenerate man, the
principles and seeds of all sin are found.
And iniquity is always conceived in the heart before it be spoken or
acted. Is there any hope that a man can
abstain from outward sin till his heart, that abominable fountain of
corruption, be thoroughly cleansed? I
trow not.
Evil
thoughts] dialogismoi ponhroi, wicked
dialogues-for in all evil surmisings the heart holds a conversation, or
dialogue, with itself. For fonoi,
murders, two MSS. have fyonoi, envyings, and three others have both. Envy and murder are nearly allied: the former
has often led to the latter.
Blasphemies]
I have already observed, Mt 9:3, that the verb blasfhmew, when applied
to men, signifies to speak INJURIOUSLY of their persons, characters, &c.,
and, when applied to God, it means to speak IMPIOUSLY of his nature, works,
&c.
Matthew 15:20 Mt 15:20
20 These <tauta> are <esti>
the things which <ho> defile <koinoo> a man <anthropos>: but
<de> to eat <phago> with unwashen <aniptos> hands
<cheir> defileth <koinoo> not <ou> a man <anthropos>.
(KJV)
20 These are what defile a man; but to eat
with unwashed hands does not defile a man." (RSV)
Verse
20. These-defile a man] Our Lord's argument is very plain. What goes into the mouth descends into the
stomach and other intestines;-part is retained for the nourishment of the body,
and part is ejected, as being improper to afford nourishment. Nothing of this kind defiles the soul,
because it does not enter into it; but the evil principles that are in it,
producing evil thoughts, murders, &c., these defile the soul, because they
have their seat and operation in it.
NOW, LET US HEAR
FROM SAUL OF TARSUS WHO IS CREDITED WITH INTRODUCING CELIBACY THAT IS TEARING
CATHOLICISM APART
1 Corinthians 6:9 1Co 6:9
9 ¶
<e> Know ye <eido> not <ou> that <hoti> the
unrighteous <adikos> shall <kleronomeo> not <ou> inherit
<kleronomeo> the kingdom <basileia> of God <theos>? Be
<planao> not <me> deceived <planao>: neither <oute> fornicators
<pornos>, nor <oute> idolaters <eidololatres>, nor
<oute> adulterers <moichos>, nor <oute> effeminate
<malakos>, nor <oute> abusers of themselves with mankind
<arsenokoites>, (KJV)
9 ¶ Do you not know that the unrighteous will
not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts, (RSV)
Verse
9. The unrighteous shall not inherit
the kingdom] The unrighteous, adikoi,
those who act contrary to right, cannot inherit, for the inheritance is by
right. He who is not a child of God has
no right to the family inheritance, for that inheritance is for the
children. If children, then heirs; heirs
of God, and joint heirs with Christ, Ro 8:17.
There are here ten classes of transgressors which the apostle excludes
from the kingdom of God; and any man who is guilty of any one of the evils
mentioned above is thereby excluded from this kingdom, whether it imply the
Church of Christ here below, or the state of glory hereafter.
Several of the evils here enumerated will not
bear to be particularly explained; they are, however, sufficiently plain of
themselves, and show us what abominations were commonly practised among the
Corinthians.
1 Corinthians 7:10 1Co 7:10
10 ¶ And <de> unto the married
<gameo> I command <paraggello>, yet not <ou> I <ego>,
but <alla> the Lord <kurios>, Let <chorizo> not <me>
the wife <gune> depart <chorizo> from <apo> her husband
<aner>: (KJV)
10 ¶ To the married I give charge, not I but
the Lord, that the wife should not separate from her husband (RSV)
Verse
10. I command, yet not I, but the
Lord] I do not give my own private
opinion or judgment in this case; for the Lord Jesus commands that man shall
not put asunder them whom God hath joined, Mt 5:32; 19:6. And God has said the same, Ge 2:24. The following extracts will prove that the
law among the Jews was very loose relative to the firmness of the marriage
bond:-
A
woman might put away or depart from her husband by giving this simple reason to
the elders, who would give the following certificate. "In ____ day of ____ week, of ____ year,
A., daughter of B., put away before us and said: My mother, or my brethren,
deceived me, and wedded me or betrothed me, when I was a very young maid, to
C., son of D.; but I now reveal my mind before you, that I will not have
him."
Sometimes
they parted with mutual consent, and this also was considered legal, as was
also the marriage of the separated parties to others. Witness the following story: "A good man
had a good wife; but because they had no children, they mutually put away each
other. The good man married a bad (a
heathen) wife, and she made him bad (a heathen;) the good woman married a bad
(a heathen) husband, and she made him good."
Divorces
were easily obtained among them, and they considered them the dissolving of the
marriage bond; and, in consequence of these, the parties might remarry with
others. This was contrary to the
original institution of marriage, and is opposed both by our Lord and the
apostle.
Galatians 5:16 Ga 5:16
16 This I say <lego> then
<de>, Walk <peripateo> in the Spirit <pneuma>, and
<kai> ye shall <teleo> not <ou me> fulfil <teleo> the
lust <epithumia> of the flesh <sarx>. {ye...: or, fulfil not} (KJV)
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and do not
gratify the desires of the flesh. (RSV)
Verse
16. Walk in the Spirit] Get back that Spirit of God which you have
grieved and lost; take up that spiritual religion which you have abandoned.
Ye shall not fulfil the lust of the
flesh.] If the Spirit of God dwell in
and rule your heart, the whole carnal mind will be destroyed; and then, not
only carnal ordinances will be abandoned, but also the works and propensities
of the flesh.
YET TO BE TREATED AS OTHERS ABOVE:::::::
Joh 8:41 , Ac 15:20, Ro 1:29, 1Co 6:13, 2Co 12:21, Ga 5:16,19,24, 1Jo 2:16
CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER
There are many clerics and
nuns, otherwise referred to as Rev. Fathers and Rev. Sisters, including those
that have been elevated to Monsignors, Mother Generals, Bishops, Archbishops
and Cardinals in the Roman Catholic hierarchy that should surmon courage and
leave gracefully before the youths of our Golbal Village forcibly remove them
from their pecuniary, parasitic, sycophanic and adulterous lifestyles. There
are no jobs in the labour market worldwide and so those who successfully pretended
to have had vocations all through their training periods till they are ordained
continue to live false lives with impunity! God save our souls!
No one spits out sugar when it has already entered the mouth! Free housing, free cars, free televisions, free dresses, free toiletries as well as free food, free sex e.t.c. These crafty tortoises in our native stories! They think they are smart! WHY?
THEY ARE ALL AFRAID OF LOSING THEIR FREE BREAD AND BUTTER!

FUNDAMENTALS OF IGBO RELIGION THAT HAS NO FANATICAL
DOCTRINES AND DOGMAS THAT GIVE RISE TO CRUSADES
This is
merely An Introduction To RENASCENT IGBO RELIGION
· AGUNABU UMUELECHI BIAFRA categorically states that our forefathers lived holier
lives than our generation is living. They were the contemporaries of Patriarch
Enoch of Genesis Chapter 5. Both practised NSO–ANI, which is Total Obedience to
the Almighty Creator’s Natural Laws!
· And in our scientific age, we do not
need armchair philosophers any more. They have done us enough damage. See the
current ISIS mass religious psychopathology that is using online media
to deceive youths worldwide to join them.
This
Zionist symbol is to be modified
With nine
tree branches and a triangle in a circle
· The highest number
in numerology worldwide is nine and
· The highest fine
levied for crimes and offered to the Ultimate Spirit for absolution
· In ritual worship in
Igbo land nine kola nuts and nine alligator peppers is used and finally
· The same number
applies to presents given in obeisance to the highest titled men.
The
Igbo has no name for the Ultimate Giver of Life! All we have are appellations
that describe the superlative traits of this Consummate Spirit that created,
creates and will still continue to create and sustain all the beings, visible
and invisible, for ages in the future;
1. Chi-na-eke: the ultimate spirit that
creates
2. Chi-ukwu: the greatest
spirit
3. Obasi bi n-elu: the omnipotent that
lives on high
4. Ama-di-oha: the supreme husband of all
5. Ogara-nya ngada-nga: the wealthiest of
the rich
6. Ugwu ana-ari-atu egwu: the highest
mountain that is climbed with trepidation
7. Ogbajiri igwe kpoo ya nku: He that
breaks steel and calls it dry wood
8. Utu na agba igwe: bacteria that eats
up iron, i.e. potent ant that tears iron to shreds
9. Ogbu onye mbosi ndu n’ato ya oto: he
that snuffs life off the arrogant
In our culture, one can only give names to what one owns,
has authority over and can dispose of at will! It is not right to give any name
to the creator; we describe what he is and does; “Chi-na-eke”, meaning; “the
divine spirit that creates” or “Chi-Ukwu”; the Ultimate Spirit!
Therefore, I conclude this prelude thus: May Our Chineke prosper the work of
your hands and provide divine guidance and protection for your spouses and
children. I share in this last prayer and hope that all is well for those who
love Chukwu, the Lord that gives us love and children may always be diligent in
obeying His marriage laws! Amen!
Whereas
other nations and cultures built places of worship for their religions, the
Igbo know that the sky is the dome of the Creator and his illuminating lights
are the sun, moon and stars. The grooves or open squares well planned and
decorated are our places of worship come rain come shine! Most devotional
rituals are done in moonlighting periods as it is cool and lasts the whole
night. Above are edifices other major world religions built. For the Igbo, no
human engineered structure is good enough to be the abode of the supreme spirit
that owns the sky, the land and the sea. He is worshipped in the open!
PANTHEON IN RENASIGBOREL NEEDS MODERNISATION
The
most widely worshiped deity of the Igbo was clearly the Earth goddess, ALA or ANI due to linguistic
nuances. Next in rank to the Father Chineke, she is the Mother that manages the
physical beings on earth for the benefit of her children. She provides
fertility and the food that sustains all living things. She blesses farm work
with bountiful harvest. The beautiful landscapes are the result of her proper
feminine grooming! The ponds, lakes streams and all other sources of
drinking water come under her care. The dead are buried in her bosom!
Thus
she became the deity that must be placated first for protection before one is
clean enough to approach Chineke or else face the wrath of Amadioha, the god of
thunder and lightning, the disciplinarian. She
is represented by a nursing mother in sculptures and painting. Mud statues of a
Breastfeeding Mother was used earlier, today, Renascent Igbo Religion RIR uses
this tripartite symbol of a family to depict her;
The
Greatest Gift of the Chi-na-eke
It is
impossible to enumerate all the lesser deities our forebears had, many of whom
are now mere names to us. Among them were the spirits of many mountains,
rivers, springs, respected ancestors, and reputable warriors, past kings and
queens who had “become gods” at death. Demons also existed in pre-colonial era
as malevolent spirits under the command of Amadioha, the disciplinarian.
Sickness and misfortune were ascribed either to these demons, to sorcery or to
divine retribution.
Gods
and men
The
gods were imagined to have their own lives, though also needing the service of
their worshipers, who in turn were dependent on the gods for their well-being.
They lived in their temples, where they had to be fed, clothed, washed, and
entertained. Part of their time, however, might be spent in heaven or in
roaming the sea or the mountains. They might withdraw in anger and so cause
life on Earth to wither and cease. One of the most characteristic rituals of
the Hittites was the invocation by which a god who had absented himself was
induced to return and attend to his duties by a combination of prayer and
magic.
The
relation between man and god resembled that between a servant and his master.
“If a servant has committed an offence his master may do with him whatever he
pleases; but if he repentantly confesses his guilt before everyone and his
master, because he has
confessed his guilt publicly. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Both the community’s
spirit is appeased and master's anger is cooled and he will not call that servant
to account.” Confession and expiation form the main theme of the extant royal
prayers.
THE
IGBO THEORY & PRACTICE OF “NSO ANI”
A literal ‘one-for-word’ translation of the concept is
‘reverence earth’, whose real import implies “Total Reverence for the Prescriptions of
the Sacred Earth Goddess and Avoidance of her Proscriptions” is the
sum total of all the religiosity in Igbo land.
Although
the pre-scientific metaphysics of the people of Biafra will definitely need updating,
their Pristine Social Ethics will never need any existential change despite the
whirlwind of foreign religions raging all around them! This is not only the
opinion of this author but that of many intellectuals who affirm that the
corrupting influence of both Westernisation and Catholicism will never erase
the respect, adoration and loyalty NSO ANI enjoys in the hearts of liberated
and self-actualised indigenes of the Igbo land! Authentic natives still live by
NSO ANI in their private lives and transmit its mores and norms to their
children by words and deeds!
To
date, when all other religious abracadabra fail to heal an erring son or
daughter of Biafra, resort is made to the pristine modes of cleansing the
individual of the guilt he or she had earned by desecrating the natural laws of
the Earth Goddess. No amount of religious imperialism or psychosocial
politicisation of Igbo traditional religion can ever successfully replace the
respect that NSO ANI enjoys in Biafra .
WHAT IS ‘NSO ANI’ IN PRACTICAL TERMS
In one
phrase, it is TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO NATURAL LAWS. This was, has been and will ever
remain the authentic religion of past, present and future genuine religion of
true children of CHI-NEKE, CHI-UKWU, OBASI-BI-N’ELU!
DR JIDEOFO KENECHUKWU DANMBAEZUE AFFIRMS THUS;
TO DATE, AMADIOHA, THE DISCIPLINARIAN GOD OF THUNDER &
LIGHTNING STILL CARRIES OUT THE PUNISHMENT OF GRAVE VIOLATIONS OF NSO ANI IN
THE ENTIRE LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE THICK TROPICALIGBO LAND OF BIAFRA ,
WHETHER CHRISTIANISED OR ISLAMISED! THE CORRUPTING INFLUENCE OF BOTH
WESTERNISATION AND CATHOLICISM WILL NEVER ERASE THE RESPECT, ADORATION AND
LOYALTY NSO ANI ENJOYS IN THE HEARTS OF LIBERATED AND SELF-ACTUALISED INDIGENES

BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF WHITE MEN ON OUR SHORES! TODAY ALL THAT HAS CHANGED!
THE
DESECRATION OF OUR PRE-COLONIAL HIGH MORAL VALUES STARTED WITH THE ARRIVAL OF
THE FIRST WHITE MISSIONARIES IN WEST
AFRICA . WHAT THE NATIVES CALLED “NSO-ANI”
WAS RE-BRANDED FORGIVEABLE SINS AND SO WATERED DOWN THE SANCTITY OF RELIGIOUS
VALUES IN BIAFRA . ITS
PARTNER, WESTERN EDUCATION NEATLY COMPLETED THE ‘COUP DE GRACE’ AS THE FOREIGN
CONCEPTS AND SOCIAL VALUES OF THE COLONIALISTS DESTROYED THE SOCIAL ETHICS OF
THE NATIVES AND RENDERED OUR PRISTINE MORES AND NORMS INEFFECTIVE. IN SOME
COMMUNITIES; “APING THE WHITE MAN’S DRESS CODE AND MANNERISMS BECAME
FASHIONABLE AND IGNORING THE CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS OF THE COMMUNITY WAS SEEN
AS THE CRITERION OF BEING EDUCATED AND MORE CIVILISED THAN THE ILLITERATE FOLKS

A
KENEZIAN EPILOGUE
DR KENEZ SUMMATION OF FAITH FROM PREVIOUS RELIGIONS THAT
CAN ENTHRONE REAL PEACE FOR CITIZENS OF THE GLOBAL VILLAGE
There is one supreme eternal reality; the truth; imminent
in all things; creator of all things; immanent in creation. Without fear and
without hatred; not subject to time; beyond birth and death; self-revealing.
This Eternal Reality is known only by the Divine Revelations from His Grace.
Faith is ultimately the acceptance of the divine authority
of the Omnipotent and Omniscient Almighty Creator of the universe we share with
all the other beings he has made; micro/macrocosms, living and non-living
beings that regularly obey the natural and eternal laws he embedded in his
creations for our mutual benefits.
----Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez (1999)
By faith is meant, first, conscious knowledge, and second,
the practice of good deeds. "Know, therefore, that only the LORD your
Creator is the Ultimate Reality, the Absolute Truth. Only he is the steadfast
Godhead who keeps His gracious covenant to the all who believe and trust in his
everlasting love and fatherly care for beings, seen and unseen to the tens,
hundreds and thousandth generations of those who love Him and keep His
commandments."Hence, recognizing and affirming that
this One Almighty Creator of
the entire Universe is our Father/Mother and therefore, only to this Creator is
total worship due. Our
corporate willingness, commitment and submission to this One Creator that
exists guarantees all that are alive sustenance, and to His prescriptions for
living in accordance with his ordained eternal and natural laws is surely the
only assurance of living a good life assured to anyone who (1) believes in Him,
and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive
their recompense from the Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they
grieve."

Integrational Faith (2013)
A
KENEZIAN FELLOWSHIP OF TRUE CHILDREN OF THE CREATOR FOR THE ENTHRONEMENT OF A
LASTING GLOBAL PEACE WILL BE BUILT ON THESE;
Faith in Buddhism centres
on the understanding that the Buddha is an Awakened being, on his superior
role as teacher, in the truth of his Dharma (spiritual teachings), and in
his Sangha (community of spiritually
developed followers).
In the teachings, saddhā is often described as:
· a conviction that something is
· a determination to accomplish one's
goals
· a sense of joy deriving from the
other two spiritual teachings and in community of spiritually developed
followers.
As a counter to any form of "blind faith", the
Buddha's teachings included those included in the Kalama
Sutra,exhorting his disciples to investigate
any teaching and to live by what is learnt and accepted, rather than believing
in something simply because it is taught.
Meher Baba described
three types of faith, emphasizing the importance of faith in a spiritual
master:
"One
of the most important qualifications for the aspirant is faith. There are three
kinds of faith: (i) faith in oneself, (ii) faith in the Master and (iii) faith
in life. Faith is
so indispensable to life that unless it is present in some degree, life itself
would be impossible. It is because of faith that cooperative and social life
becomes possible. It is faith in each other that facilitates a free give and
take of love, a free sharing of work and its results.
When
life is burdened with unjustified fear of one another it becomes cramped and
restricted....Faith in the Master becomes all-important because it nourishes
and sustains faith in oneself and faith in life in the very teeth of set-backs
and failures, handicaps and difficulties, limitations and failings. Life, as
man knows it in himself, or in most of his fellow-men, may be narrow, twisted
and perverse, but life as he sees it in the Master is unlimited, pure and
untainted. In the Master, man sees his own ideal realised; the Master is what
his own deeper self would rather be. He sees in the Master the reflection of
the best in himself which is yet to be, but which he will surely one day
attain. Faith in the Master therefore becomes the chief motive-power for
realising the divinity which is latent in man."
Bertrand
Russell noted,
"Where there is evidence, no one speaks of 'faith'. We do not speak of
faith that two and two are four or that the earth is round. We only speak of
faith when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence."
Kenez
Danmbaezue observes;
“ The only truthful thing anyone can say about the Almighty and Benevolent
Creator known in many cultures and languages by a variety of names is; AN
INTELLIGENT SUPERNATURAL BEING EXISTS WHO CREATED ALL WE CAN EVER SEE, THINK
AND FEEL! Any other statement we make about this Ultimate Reality, Absolute
Truth that is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent being is mere guesswork
that only feeds doctrine and dogmas!
THE
HIGHEST ‘NZE na OZO’ TITLE IN IGBO CULTURE
Before the arrival of Western culture and imported
religions, The IGBOS had ‘OUTWARD SIGNS OF INWARD GRACE!
The sanctity of honest elders were noticed by the special hand-woven and
colourful caps that adorned their wise heads, the bronze or silver walking
stick that aided their weak frames and religio-cultural facial scarification
that indicated to all and sundry the ‘life of purity of thoughts, words and
actions’. Observe the relaxed mood, the nobility of composure, the achieved
social status and dignified social rank of this elder!
IGBU-ICHI
is the scarified architectural design that only the truthful, wealthy and wise
elders of old had/have on their faces. It was the real test of manhood and the
ultimate symbol of the highest title in the ‘Nze-na-Ozo’ title! Currently, many titled men
cannot endure the carving of their faces into the decorative designs done with
very sharp ANCIENT instruments
with no pain-killing drugs administered and devoid of local or general
anaesthesia. One does not flinch his face, show any discomfort, shed a tear or
sweat throughout the three-hour duration of the crude surgery.
The
experts in IGBU-ICHI were the highest paid doctors and retaining their
three-week service for the scars to heal was very exorbitant. The goats and
chickens slaughtered were uncountable as well as the tubers of yams they and
their assistants were fed on/with throughout the duration. Only the wealthy
farmer could afford them! Take another look at his face in any of the obituary
pictures and see whether you can count the number of the curved lines that arch
up-down-horizontal-vertical? Each of them took at least 10 minutes to carve!
Yet, the titled man MUST not show any sign of pain! If he did, the ceremony is
aborted! He becomes a disgrace in the immediate community if that happens and
might be stripped of all other titles he ever earned in life.
The
present descendants of the pre-western Igbo people do not know what it is, how
much it costs, who are qualified for it, what it symbolises nor its prestigious
socio-religious significance when ‘men
were men and beautiful women were married by the few who deserved them!’ By his death, we have today lost the last doyen of LION-HEARTED
men of his genre in Ezeawara town
in particular and in the entire Igbo land in general, who epitomised the pristine virtues of
truthfulness, integrity, justice, fortitude, patience and endurance of the
highest order in the saintly lifestyle of our revered forebears in pre-colonial
periods when making a good name was worth more prestigious than amassing wealth
that is now in vogue!

Whereas other nations and
cultures built places of worship for their religions, the Igbo know that the
sky is the dome of the Creator and his illuminating lights are the sun, moon
and stars. The grooves or open squares well planned and decorated are our
places of worship come rain come shine! Most devotional rituals are done in
moonlighting periods as it is cool and lasts the whole night. Above are
edifices other major world religions built. For the Igbo, no human engineered
structure is good enough to be the abode of the supreme spirit that owns the
sky, the land and the sea. He is worshipped in the open!
WHAT IS ‘NSO ANI’ IN PRACTICAL TERMS
In one phrase, it is TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO NATURAL LAWS. This was, has been and will ever remain the authentic religion of past, present and future genuine religion of true children of CHI-NEKE, CHI-UKWU, OBASI-BI-N’ELU!
DR JIDEOFO KENECHUKWU DANMBAEZUE AFFIRMS THUS;
TO DATE, AMADIOHA, THE DISCIPLINARIAN GOD OF THUNDER &
LIGHTNING STILL CARRIES OUT THE PUNISHMENT OF GRAVE VIOLATIONS OF NSO ANI IN
THE ENTIRE LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE THICKTROPICAL IGBO LAND OF BIAFRA , WHETHER
CHRISTIANISED OR ISLAMISED! THE CORRUPTING INFLUENCE OF BOTH WESTERNISATION AND
CATHOLICISM WILL NEVER ERASE THE RESPECT, ADORATION AND LOYALTY NSO ANI ENJOYS
IN THE HEARTS OF LIBERATED AND SELF-ACTUALISED INDIGENES OF THE IGBO LAND !
THESE ARE FUNDAMENTALS
OF IGBO RELIGION FORMULATED BY DR KENEZ FOR A WORLDWIDE SPIRITUAL FELLOWSHIP OF
RATIONAL BEINGS THAT HAS NO FANATICAL DOCTRINES AND DOGMAS THAT GIVE RISE TO
CRUSADES OR JIHADS

Religion, which is superstition sanctioned by the state,
is actually an addiction to man-made doctrines and dogmas invented, patented
and copyrighted by a few demagogues.
• It enslaves the mind more than psychoactive drugs,
• Benumbs human creativity and resourcefulness thereby
• Restricting the development of the human potential and capital.
It is the main cause of poverty of the mind and underdevelopment of third world countries as its side-effects are indolence, redundancy, laziness and dependence of finished products and services. In the final analysis, it is the predisposing factor to lack of initiative, debilitating ignorance, fetish belief-systems, abject poverty and perennial ill-health.
Perhaps its only advantage is that it makes the polity docile and amenable to the whims and caprices of their oppressive leaders. Often, it hoodwinks its adherents into believing that ‘The God’ or ‘the gods’ they worship speak to them through the voices of their egocentric clerics who therefore can conveniently exploit them to satisfy their demonic desires of sensual pleasure and inordinate ambitions of amassing wealth. Their wanton indulgence in gluttony, wine and women is seen in every action and definitely this is the foolproof evidence of their demonic genealogy.
To rescue humanity from the demonic stranglehold of idolatry that now predominates worldwide, you are invited to reason along with us and see that we provide an everlasting cure for sensual lust for food, wine, sex, wealth and power that are the trademarks of society heading for damnation! Are you going to sit on the fence and wait for another failed experiment in Messiahship that was riddled with myopic and ethnocentric bias? Who knows the Creator well enough to declare that he has ‘a chosen people’? Where is the evidence that Moses actually led the so-called people out of any oppressive regime? The history books and modern encyclopaedia did not record the enslavement of the Jewish race except as ‘they were believed as revealed truths’.

The Creator has hidden so much from our intellectual faculties that to date we are still unravelling those He is allowing humanity to glimpse at through divine dreams, intuitions, inspirations and revelations to devout souls! Do you want to have supernatural knowledge mediated by spiritual faculties of seeing, feeling, sensing and caring for others? Look inwards, for the
The creator gave humans some of his powers and knowledge for recreating the material universe for the mutual benefits of all his created beings but today many use his gifts to perpetrate evil. Either by design or demonic manipulation, the obverse is the case; the first datum that every living thing recognises is that someone put it here and caters for its welfare. Dogs respect and fight in defence of their owners. Every pet realises that it is loved and taken care of by someone who has value for its existence. It is human who pride themselves of being rational beings that do not recognise, respect or realise that all of us have a single owner. It is absurd! Some believe there is an Almighty Creator who provides for each creature on daily basis, some assert that he has turned his back on us due to our congenital wickedness and cruel ways, while others simply deny his existence!
This is my summation of the problem; “Religion was/is a superstitious search by humanity for its origin, existence, meaning and relevance before the scientific era. The search was led by acclaimed sages among the elders of a community who defined its theories and practices. It is later ratified and recommended for legislation and implementation by state apparatus by convincing stratagem or coercion by politico-religious leaders. Thereafter, it is fine tuned and administered by ordained priests and priestesses who hand it down along ancestral lineages from one generation of lukewarm adherents, fanatics and mystics to another. Gradually, strong personalities emerge claiming divine appointment and so pull strong followers who idolise them as role models with supernatural powers. This obsession confirms them as beacons of adulation and finally leads to full scale idolatry.
INTRODUCTION TO
INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT
The Computer-Age Spiritual Fellowship for Citizens of Our Global Village
Many people are mere conformists. They are those personalities that are satisfied with ‘going through the motions’; doing what everyone else is doing to make a living and waiting for the final ‘call to glory’ as they brand death! Many of us are born and live an inconsequential life; bland, uneventful and without anything particular to be remembered for after our exit from this mundane world, a temporal habitation for the soul. There are some others, whose lives and contributions to the society made a difference! They changed the ‘status quo’ by either extending the frontiers of knowledge or developing their immediate communities. They improved the understanding of human nature and taught others the values of humanitarianism. These heroes and heroines touched the lives of many both inter-racially and internationally.
They added colour to the doldrums of routine existence on planet earth!
A few had tall dreams and went ahead to transform them into reality despite all odds. This group devised methods of changing the deplorable situations and the deprived circumstances of the lifestyle they met on becoming adults. Some adolescents dream of the courage to better their social status, but often take off on the wrong foot of seeking for titles, money, fame and crowning it all with indulging in romantic relationships.
Others dared to pursue the unknown, to break new grounds and blaze trails for followers to tread on. Their zeal, inquisitiveness, passion, persistence, desire, motivations and prayers were fully rewarded if they paid the prize for success; optimism, dedication and the refusal to quit. Their philosophy of life was ‘When the task gets tough, the tough get it going!’, ‘Never say, never again!’ or ‘All that it takes to make the impossible possible is the power to remove the ‘im’ in front of the possible!’
They eventually became geniuses, inventors, explorers, leaders or discoverers! They evolved into the innovators and pioneers who helped to enlarge the frontiers of human civilisations and removed the age-old boundaries of the unknown. Joining this select group of animators or league of achievers is usually not by accident or by mere wishful thinking. Beyond desire and hard work is a divine factor that must be recognised, respected and appropriated in unveiling the unknown that the Divine Architect had hidden there for ages waiting for a brave soul to convert it from obscure dormancy to utilitarian vibrancy. This author, Dr Kenez wants to know where you belong in this universal continuum. Or, are you waiting for ‘manna from heaven’?
