STATISTICAL MANUAL AS AN ILLNESS
We are in the
Internet age and in our scientific global village, we do not need armchair
philosophers any more. They have done us enough damage.
FANATICISM IS A
PSYCHIATRIC ILLNESS AND SO IS MYSTICISM AS BOTH CONSTITUTE THE TWO SIDES OF
A COIN NAMELY EXCESSIVE INDULGENCE IN RELIGION
I had the singular
opportunity of critically studying religious excesses from 1980 – 1982 at
the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin, Nigeria as it was the
topic I chose and researched on as my M.Sc. dissertation in Mental Health.
I was forced to
develop a brand new paper-and-pencil psychological test as there was none
in existence as at the material time the Guyana Mass Religious Suicide
occurred in Jonestown. Just type Jonestown Mass Suicide into
your favourite search engine in the Internet now and read about Rev. Jones
and his congregation of more than 900 than drank poison.
Jonestown Mass
Suicide
The dead bodies of
members of the People’s Temple Commune lie before the “throne” of the
cult’s leader, Jim Jones, in Jonestown, Guyana. Acting on Jones’s orders,
more than 900 cult members committed suicide at the Jonestown commune in
1978 by consuming a cyanide-laced soft drink. The quotation on the wall is
from American philosopher George Santayana.

It shocked the
world for three years, but did it stop people from becoming fanatics, NO,
it did not.
And so, to date,
Karl Marx; RELIGION IS THE OPIUM OF THE MASSES, remains a true dictum by a
non-medical person that depicts how addictive religion can really be.
·
“Karl Marx, who
believed history was driven by purely material considerations, took a dim
view of religious faith, calling it “the opium of the masses” in his
writings. The Soviet regime’s Marxist roots and its antipathy toward all
social associations and belief systems not under its direct control made it
openly opposed to religion from the outset. Shortly after 1917 it impounded
the property of the Russian Orthodox Church, forbade religious instruction,
instituted antireligious propaganda, and persecuted priests. Atheistic
fervor, having abated in the 1920s, reached a crescendo after 1929, when
thousands of churches were shut down and razed, only to ebb in the late
1930s and to yield during World War II to pragmatic concessions to
believers. The crusade against religion was revived by Khrushchev, then
toned down under Brezhnev and Gorbachev.

Bertrand Russell,
a renowned British philosopher who pioneered STRAIGHT & CROOKED THINKING
argued that 2 plus 2 is 4; a fact in mathematics accepted by all and no one
quarrels about it because it is FACT but if or when you force people to
agree 2 plus 2 is 5, it ceases to be a FACT, it becomes faith and ends as a
problem.

Dr Kenez traced
its aetiological roots more psycho-philosophically when he stated in his
M.Sc. dissertation of 1982; BELIEF ONLY BECOMES NECESSARY WHEN THERE ARE NO
LOGICAL FACTS or EVIDENT PROOFS of a FABRICATED LIE or FALSE THEORY
propounded by a demagogue, so it naturally transforms into A DOCTRINE or a
DOGMA. That is the beginning of dissension and the remote genesis of any
brand of FANATICISM or MYSTICISM.
In the
mathematical analyses preceding a concise formula to develop the required
PAPER-&-PENCIL TEST after twelve months of psychometric somersaults,
real painful academic rigmaroles or the needed scientific jingoism; his
proposed this simplified one; FANATICISM results when STRONG WILL
pathologically combines with NARROW-MINDEDNESS …. And as a corollary of the
flipside of the coin; MYSTICISM only results when a WEAK WILL
pathologically combines with same NARROW-MINDEDNES.

PSYCHOSOCIAL
CONFLICT BROUGHT BY WESTERINISATIO AND IMPORTED RELIGIONS CREATED MASS
PERSONALITY DISORDERS
The archaeological
remains of ancient civilizations indicate that dazzling clothing and
palaces, impressive statues and temples, magic tokens and insignia, and
elaborate legal and religious arguments have been used for thousands of
years, presumably to convince the common people of the purported greatness
and supernatural prowess of kings and priests. Instructive legends and
parables, easily memorised proverbs and lists of commandments (such as
the Analects of Confucius, the Judaic Ten Commandments,
the Hindu Laws of Manu, the Buddhists' Eightfold Noble Path), and highly
selective chronicles of rulers' achievements have been used to enlist mass
support for particular social and religious systems.
Very probably, much of what was said in antiquity was sincere, in the sense
that the underlying religious and social assumptions were so fully accepted
that the warlords' spokespersons, the pharaohs' priests and their audiences
believed all or most of what was communicated and hence did not deliberate
or theorize very much about alternative arguments or means of persuasion.
The systematic, detached, and deliberate analysis of propaganda, in the
West, at least, may have begun in Athens about 500 BC, as the study
of rhetoric (Greek: “the technique of orators”). The tricks of
using sonorous and solemn language, carefully gauged humour, artful
congeniality, appropriate mixtures of logical and illogical argument, and
flattery of a jury or a mob were formulated from the actual practices of
successful lawyers, demagogues, and politicians.
THE ROLE OF COLONIAL PROPAGANDA IN RELIGION & POLITICS
The earliest ethical teachers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle
compiled rules of rhetoric thus; (1) to make their own arguments and those
of their students more persuasive and (2) to design an effective
counterpropaganda against opponents and also (3) to teach their students
how to detect the logical fallacies and emotional appeals of demagogues.
The spread of all complexpolitical systems and religions probably has
been due very largely to a combination of earnest conviction and the
deliberate use of propaganda.
This mixture can be detected in the recasting in various times and places
of the legends of the Judaeo-Christian messiah, of heroes of the
Hindu Mahābhārata, of the Buddha, of the ancestral Japanese Sun
Goddess, of the lives of Muḥammad and his
relatives, of the Christian saints, of such Marxist heroes as Marx, Engels,
Lenin, and Stalin, and even in the story of George Washington and the
cherry tree. Scattered and sometimes enlightening comment on political and
religious propaganda has occurred in all major civilisations. They refer to
such propaganda stratagems as the seizure and monopolisation of propaganda
initiatives, the displacement of guilt onto others (scape-goating), the
presentation of oneself as morally superior, and the coordination of
propaganda with violence and bribery. For all these the primitive
people that colonialists met on arrival had no answers. So, they were
disadvantaged! They could not resist!
A REGION UNDER SIEGE BY COLONIAL ADMINISTRATION
Education is the
process, which provides the young with the knowledge, skills, and values
that a society believes are necessary. Various forms of traditional
education have existed in Africa for hundreds of years before the arrival
of the first white man on our shores. Traditionally, education is usually
information about survival in one’s cultural milieu. The child learns from
his parents and from elders the importance of traditional religion and
customary law. He learns the traditions and history of his people. He
imitates the habits and customs of his parents and elders. Over a period,
he learns the customs and the way of life of his people. In some communities
when the child grows up, he has a short period of formal instruction with
his age mates in an initiation school and may perform some sort of
initiation ceremony before he is accepted as an adult member of the
community.
Formal education
in modern times takes place in nursery, primary and secondary schools;
followed by institutes, colleges and universities modelled after western
styles. These teach young people the skills and knowledge that will be
useful in getting a job.
The economic
development of a country depends on the quality of these schools and
universities, and on the quality of their teachers, pupils and students. If
a country does not have enough skills, the country cannot develop.
Therefore, governments treat education as an investment for the future.
Governments, therefore usually work out some form of educational planning.
For example, in
1973 the National Council of Education in Nigeria met in Lagosto establish
a national policy for education. They discussed two important ideas:should
the government provide education for its own sake to develop the full
personality of the pupil? Or should education prepare pupils to undertake
specific jobs which will change their environment. The conference decided
that both were essential and drew up a 4-year plan that had specific aims.
A government has
to decide how much to invest in education, and how much each part of the
educational system will receive. For example, in the Nigerian 4-year
development plan that started in 1973, the government decided to spend
about 278 million naira (about 140 million pounds sterling) on education.
This was about 13.5% of the total budget. The government decided to spend
about 67 million naira on primacy education, about 57 million on secondary
education, about 24 million naira on technical education, about 26 million
naira on teacher training, about 82 million naira on university education
and about 20 million naira on adult and other forms of education.
Different
educationists have different ideas about which part of the education system
is important. Many believe that primary education is the most important.
Many of the newly independent governments would like primary education to
become free and compulsory for all the children in their county. This would
naturally lead to free secondary education. Others say that technical,
scientific and agricultural educations are more important. They argue that
a developing country needs skilled farmers, engineers, doctors, plumbers,
mechanics and electricians so that it can develop faster and more
successfully.
However, not many
of the developing countries have programmes for adult education yet. Some
educationists say that much education takes place outside the school – at
home, on the job, in adult programmes, in agriculture and health and in
other forms of community development. They say that unless there is adult
education, it will be difficult to get rid of illiteracy, poverty,
unemployment, hooliganism and diseases among the older members of a
country. Governments of these newly independent nations also have to decide
which regions of their county will receive money for education.
“A common problem
in all countries of Africa is the difference between education in the big
cities and education in the rural communities. Schools in the community
claim that they do not receive enough money and that most city teachers do
not want to come and work in the rural areas of the country. Each
government tries to work out a system of education that is best suited to
its own country. They work out how much they can spend, how much they will
give to each part of the educational system and to each region of their
county and they try to keep as their basic aim the need to produce skilled
people who will find useful jobs and help their county to develop.”
(Ref. African
Encyclopaedia (1974) Oxford University Press)
THE BASICS IN
TRADITIONAL EDUCATION IS THE PANACEA
The role of
primitive education in pre-colonial cultures had all along been ignored by
the prejudiced notion that the people are uncivilised. The colonialists
were always in a hurry to teach them their own modes of socialisation. In
their selfish interest to communicate their political structures so as to
maximise their economic profits, the first thing that the subjugated people
must be taught is their own language. Next is their taxation rule! This is
the genesis of the depersonalisation process. Any therapeutic remedy that
ignores a return to the original traditional educational programme is bound
to fail. The abrupt truncation of this traditional education was, is and
will still be the remote cause of de-realisation syndromes in post-colonised
mentality.
So let us explore
this notion and witness what most anthropologists found out!
“The purpose of
primitive education is to guide children to becoming good members of their
tribe or band. There is a marked emphasis upon training forcitizenship, because
primitive people are highly concerned with the growth of individuals as
tribal members and the thorough comprehension of their way of life during
passage from pre-puberty to post-puberty. Because of the variety in the
countless thousands of primitive cultures, it is difficult to describe any
standard and uniform characteristics of pre-puberty education.
Nevertheless, certain things are practiced commonly within cultures.”
Therefore, I dare affirm that the term; ‘education’ can also be applied
to primitive cultures in the sense of enculturation, which is the
process of cultural transmission. A primitive person, whose
culture is the totality of his universe, has a relatively fixed sense of
cultural continuity and timelessness. The model of life is relatively
static and absolute, and it is transmitted from one generation to another
with little deviation. As for prehistoric education, it can only be
inferred from educational practices in surviving primitive cultures.
Children actually participate in the social processes of adult activities,
and their participatory learning is based upon what the American
anthropologist Margaret Mead has called empathy, identification
and imitation. Primitive children, before reaching puberty, learn by doing
and observing basic technical practices. Their teachers are not strangers
but, rather, their immediate community.
In contrast to the spontaneous and rather unregulated imitations in
pre-puberty education, post-puberty education in some cultures is strictly
standardised and regulated. The teaching personnel may consist of fully
initiated men, often unknown to the initiate though they are his relatives
in other clans. The initiationmay begin with the initiate being
abruptly separated from his familial group and sent to a secluded camp
where he joins other initiates. The purpose of this separation is to
deflect the initiate's deep attachment his family and by the initiation
programme steering away to establish his emotional and social anchorage in
the wider web of his kindred’s culture.
The initiation “curriculum” does not usually include practical subjects.
Instead, it consists of a whole set of cultural values, tribal religion,
myths, philosophy, history, rituals and other knowledge. Primitive people
in some cultures regard the body of knowledge constituting the initiation
curriculum as most essential to their tribal membership. Within this
essential curriculum, religious instruction takes the most prominent place.
It is the deliberate removal or omission of inculcating these traditional
values in present-day indigenes that constitutes the crux of the
depersonalisation and de-realisation syndromes!
THE PSYCHIATRIC
IMPLICATIONS OF CULTURE CONFLICTS AND DOMINANCE FROM FOREIGN SOCIAL ETHICS
IN AFRICA
A careful
evaluation of the brief depositions here coupled with a professional
diagnosis touching on the differentials in personality crises a whole
region has been thrown into; REGIONAL CULTURE SHOCK AND
PSYCHOPATHOLOGICAL ITS CONSEQUENCIES.
You can see that
no one ever mentions education in traditional values of the indigenes. It
is presumed that education only refers to acquisition of foreign languages,
dress codes, science subjects, religious knowledge and mannerisms that
shows that one is now as ‘civilised’ as the colonial masters. There lies
the trap. Top government officials are equally suffering from
depersonalisation syndromes!
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
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. They 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, ALAor 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. Today, RIR uses this tripartite symbol
of a family to depict her;
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 servant and master. “If a
servant has committed an offence and confesses his guilt before his master,
his master may do with him whatever he pleases; but because he has
confessed his guilt . . . his master's spirit is appeased 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!
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 tropical Igbo land of Biafra, whether Christianised or Islamised!
SOCIAL MOBILITY IN
IGBO LAND WAS BY PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT
THE CHOICE OF A
CEREMONIAL LEADER IS DEPENDENT ON THE SOCIAL LADDER ONE HAD SUCCESSFULLY
CLIMBED OR ACHIEVED IN LIFE APPROVED FOR KEEPING NSO ANI FROM CHILDHOOD,
BEING AN HONEST HARDWORKING MAN OR WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN PURE, CHASTE AND
DILIGENT BEFORE AND AFTER MARRIAGE TILL THE COMMUNITY RECOGNISES AND
RESPECTS ONE’S INDIVIDUAL MERIT TO LEAD. IT HAS NEVER BEEN BY INHERITANCE
BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF WHITE MEN ON OUR SHORES! TODAY ALL THAT HAS CHANGED!
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."
------------- ISM
Integrational Faith (2013)
FELLOWSHIP OF TRUE
CHILDREN OF THE CREATOR
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!
And in our
scientific age, we do not need armchair philosophers anymore. 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.

And so, to date, Karl Marx; RELIGION IS THE OPIUM
OF THE MASSES, remains a true dictum by a non-medical person that depicts
how addictive religion can really be.
• “Karl Marx, who believed history was driven by purely material
considerations, took a dim view of religious faith, calling it “the opium
of the masses” in his writings. The Soviet regime’s Marxist roots and its
antipathy toward all social associations and belief systems not under its
direct control made it openly opposed to religion from the outset. Shortly
after 1917 it impounded the property of the Russian Orthodox Church,
forbade religious instruction, instituted antireligious propaganda, and
persecuted priests. Atheistic fervor, having abated in the 1920s, reached a
crescendo after 1929, when thousands of churches were shut down and razed,
only to ebb in the late 1930s and to yield during World War II to pragmatic
concessions to believers. The crusade against religion was revived by
Khrushchev, then toned down under Brezhnev and Gorbachev.

Bertrand Russell, a renowned British philosopher who pioneered STRAIGHT
& CROOKED THINKING argued that 2 plus 2 is 4; a fact in mathematics
accepted by all and no one quarrels about it because it is FACT but if or
when you force people to agree 2 plus 2 is 5, it ceases to be a FACT, it
becomes faith and ends as a problem.
• The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there
is no good evidence either way.
• There's a Bible on that shelf there. But I keep it next to Voltaire—poison
and antidote.
• I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its
Churches, has been and still is the principle enemy of moral progress in
the world.
Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
British philosopher and mathematician.

DESPITE THAT OUR SAINT CYPRIAN
MICHAEL IWENEGBULEM PERMITTED THREE HOURS NON STOP ELECTRICITY, THE
NIGERIAN FACTOR E E D C HAD ENSURED I TYPED AND RETYPED
THESE MAILS SEVEN TIMES.
NO ONE STRUGGLED TO BUILD YOUR
EDUCATIONAL EMPIRE WITH YOU, SO YOU NEED NO ONE TO DICTATE TO YOU
ADDING AN INTERDISCIPLINARY BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH
ORGANISATION EXCEPT OUR PATRON SAINT or
perhaps THE THREE FACE I SEE ON YOU WHILE YOU ARE SAYING MASS., who
are they, MY DEAR...THEY ARE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE SOME VITAL INFORMATION.
I DID NOT COME HERE TO SEEK
INTERVIEWED BY NIGERIAN TRAINED TAPE RECORDERS OR BY HIS
MASTERS VOICE like the old gramophone jute box we used to wind before
it pays ISREAL NWOBA etc before independence.
NO NO NO I
HAD NOT TAKEN ANY NIGERIAN JOB, because i am neither Nigerian nor do own or
carry their passport or visa. I WAS ASKED TO DO RESEARCH SINCE 2001 BY A
POWER I NEVER KNEW, and was guarded and guided by that power.
I HAVE NEVER MOULDED A BLOCK, NOR
BUILD A ROOM OR HOUSE TO DATE. I DO NOT TRAVEL BY AIR IF I CAN GET THERE BY
ROAD IN MY OLD FASHIONED 504 ORIGINAL MADE IN FRANCE PEUGEOT, LATER I DROVE
A TOYOTA CROWN IN KANO AND KADUNA AS A YOUNG AIR FORCE OFFICER. LATER I GOT
A BONNS UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC AWARD OF A 280 AUTO REVERSE MERCEDES BENZ
BUT RETRUNED IT AS I COULD NOT AFFORD THE COSTLY EXPENSES.
TODAY, I NOW RECOGNISE
WHY WHY WHY, ITS OUR PATRON
SAINT WHOSE IMAGE I TRACED FOR 43 MINUTES TODAY. SO IF YOU ARE MISTAKEN
THAT DANMBAEZUE IS SEEKING FOR A JOB YOU ARE 100 PER CENT
WRONG. I WILL ONLY BE INTERVIEW BY YOU AND DIRECT DESCENDANTS OF PIUS
OGBUAGU AKAM AND EVERY OTHER BLOOD RELATIVE YOU REQUIRE...... FORGET
NIGERIAN FAILED EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION.
I AM ABOVE ALL THAT .....simply
type either of these into Google search engine
1. DANMBAEZUE JIDEOFO
KENECHUKWU or
2. REV. PROF. J. J. KENEZ
or
3. AGUNABU UMUELECHI NIAFRA
You may also browse my TWO
LINKEDIN professional websites for academicians in Google also
A. Dr J.
Kenechukwu Danmbaezue OR
B. DR
JIDE KENECHUKWU DANMBAEZUE, D.Sc.
I studied at Enugu, Lagos, Ibadan
and Benin Addis Ababa Ethiopia for D.Sc, Psychometrics
FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT OR
EQUIVOCATION,
MY DEAR OMERE NKE OKWURU a.k.a. OKWURU NKE OMERE. I DID NOT RUN TO YOU
SEEKING FOR A JOB, NO NO NO,
IT IS ONLY TO REVEAL WHAT MY PERSONAL ANGEL HAD KEPT ME ALIVE FOR,
nanely IMMORTALISING HIS NAME AS ONE WHO HEALS HIS FOLLOWERS.
I DO NOT OWN NOR HAVE I EVER CARRIED A NIGERIAN PASSPORT OR VISA,
do you know why ..... will be revealed later ............
I NEVER WORKED FOR NIGERIA, WILL NEVER DO SO, AM NOT IN CONTEST WITH
ANY NIGERIAN MADE ACADEMIC NOR QUOTA SYSTEM PROFESSORSHIP. I AM A
HEALER, A HUMANITARIAN RESTORE OF THE DOWN TRODDEN THE POOR MASSES
FROM COLONIAL MENTALITY AND IMPORTED MEDICAL PRACTICES
AND BUYING
WESTERN OVER PRICED CHEMO THERAPEUTICS ....right fro my undergraduate
to postgraduate levels
THAT WAS WHY I HAVE NEVER MOULDED A SINGLE BLOCK TO DATE, HAVE NEVER
BUILD A ROOM, MOREOVER I DO NOT RIDE LIMOUSINE CARS NOR FLY TO ANY
PLACE IF I CAN DRIVE MYSELF TO THE VENUE UNACCOMPANIED. THIS IS ME
NOT THE JUDE YOU KNES PRIOR TO THE CIVIL WAR......./
YOU CAN GUESS THAT I WILL RELUCTANTLY BE INTERVIEW BY ANY NIGERIA
TRAINED FAKE LECTURERS WHO JUST CRAM WHAT THE OYIBO HAD FORCED
THEM
TO REPEAT LIKE A PARROT.... I call them pseudo grammer phone recorders
HIS MASTERS VOICE.
YOU BUILD YOUR EMPIRE, SO YOU DO NOT NEED ANYONE, EXCEPT YOUR FATHER,
ANCESTORS AND SAINT CYPRAIN MICHAEL IWENEGBULEM TO START A NEW
ORGANISATION attached to your main specialty EDUCATION.
RUNNING A
FULL TIME MEDICAL SCHOOL IS CAPITAL INTENSIVE, so i can appreciate
your caution in establishing a nigerian modelled COLLEGE OF MEDICINE.
wE SHALL ONLY HAVE POST GRADUATE TRAINING FOR ALL MBBS HOLDERS WHO
WANT TO JOIN IN REVOLUTIONISING HEATH DELIVERY IN THE TROPICS WITH OUR
EVER GREEN DIVINELY PORTENT POWERS
