BIAFRA WAR: THE SPIRITUAL IMPLICATIONS
Forgive them, Oh! Great PRESENCE
Forgive Mankind I Pray!
Forgive All Their Transgressions
Against Love’s Sweet Way
Oh! Help Them Love Enough
To Wipeout All that Never Should Be
Oh! Love Them! Oh! Love Them!
Until they are One with Thee!
Since my childhood I have been fascinated with my fellow humans, my curiosity started early in my life when I became aware that boys are different, from girls.
I was fascinated when my Mum became pregnant and she told me there is a baby in her stomach and one day my Dad drove her to the Lagos Island Maternity Hospital, I was enthralled when he brought her back home the following day with a newborn baby and I was told the baby is my sister.
I was enchanted, this is a miracle; yesterday she was with a big tummy, today she brought me a brand new beautiful sister, since that day I see my sister as the greatest miracle.
Through my adolescent and teenage years, people continue to interest me, I made many friends from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds and growing into adulthood overseas, exposes me to the international community, on a grand scale; due to extensive travels and tourism.
I made acquaintance practically with the majority of the tribes of the earth from the five continents. So much so that I can tell what country a stranger come from without him speaking. I end up speaking five languages and I can say a few words in a dozen more.
But the more people I get to meet, the more I realize that each one, like my sister, is the greatest miracle of nature.
Each person I meet is a unique miracle of nature, there has never been anyone like him or her since the beginning of creation and there will never be anybody with his or her face, mouth, ear, voice or mind till the end of the world. Each person is an absolute miracle.
I read somewhere sometime back when some scientists were trying to figure out how much money it will cost to produce a human being with the technology of today. They came up with a price tag of Fifty-Six Million Pounds, Sterling (GBP 56,000,000) per person.
According to this research, it means that each human being is the most expensive and most important piece of machinery in the world.
Though we cannot quantify human life with money, this is just to give us an idea of the importance of human life.
I believe that there is an Intelligent Being who created this Sophisticated Universe with its perfect mechanism and laws, and we all know that for every action there is a reaction either physically or spiritually.
This is why I cannot understand the Nigerian Leaders, especially the Nigerian Spiritual Leaders’ ignorance in realizing that the Physical Biafra War may have Ended but the War has not End Spiritually.
This is why everything in Nigeria, is at a Permanent Condition of Warfare, despite the so-called Wealth and Potentials of Nigeria.
To use Electricity in Nigeria is a Tug of War.
Getting from your Home to your Workplace is a War in Nigeria.
Driving on the Nigerian Roads is like Driving through a War Zone, where Accidents and Loss of Life can Happen, at a Blink of the Eye.
Getting a Third Level Education is like going through the Battle of Waterloo.
In all aspects of human endeavour that you try to accomplish in Nigeria, in this 21st Century, it is always a tug of War.
Even the so-called Rich Nigerians are Living under a Self Imposed Siege, because the Richer they Get, the Higher the Physical and the Mental Prison Walls they Build Around Themselves.
If one takes a little time to think about Nigeria, One will realize that something is Seriously Wrong in and with Nigeria. Else, how do you explain, a Country that Produces over 2 million barrels of oil every day since the ’70s, still imports its petrol today, over 40 years later e.t.c? (The list is long).
Anybody with Deep Understanding of the Workings of the Universe and the Spiritual Laws Attendant to the World we live in will Realize that the BLOOD of the 2 million souls that were killed during the BIAFRA war is Tormenting Nigeria and the Nigerians, especially, the Nigerian Leaders.
That is two Million Individual Miracles (for argument sake) each one at least, a cost of 56 Million British Pounds to the Nigeria Nation, that is:
GBP 56,000,000 X 2,000,000
= 112,000,000,000,000 GBP.
112 TRILLION BRITISH POUNDS or
$185,000,000,000,000 USD
185, TRILLION US DOLLARS.
Whereas, a fowl or a goat, that is dedicated to any of our Traditional gods is deemed Sacred. Which one among us will dare to Steal and Kill a Chicken that is dedicated to EZETA! or to SHANGO!!!!
Yet we Killed Two Million Miracles of God and we expect to live Happily Ever After?!!!
No Sir! The World does not work like that.
If we want Peace and Prosperity in Nigeria, below are the things we must do:
1, Three Days, National Prayer and Fasting for all. (Especially, the Spiritual and the Political Leaders). Beg God for Forgiveness of Sins in Shedding Innocent Blood During the Biafra War.
2, Muslims, we Can Start Our Fast, on a Wednesday until Friday. The Chief Imams should Lead Jumat Prayers and Beg God for the Forgiveness of our Sins in the Biafra War and Pray for the Dead. We can Break Our Fast after the Jumat.
3, Christians, we Can Start Our Fast, on a Friday until Sunday. The Leaders of each Denomination should Lead the Special Biafra Service, Beg God for the Forgiveness of our Sins in the Biafra War and Pray for the Dead. We can Break Our Fast after the Sunday Service.
4, Government will hold an Official Ceremony, Invite the World Community and International Press, shown Live on Television. (Occasion could be Named, Biafra Remembrance Day). On this Occasion, the President that has the Wisdom to do the above would have the Wisdom to sincerely Apologize for the atrocities of the Biafra War.
Then announce a predetermined Date that will be Dedicated as The BIAFRA DAY, every Year, and maybe Declared as a Public Holiday.
5, MONUMENT, one should be Erected in Abuja and in Every Capital City of Every State in Nigeria in Memory of the Biafra Dead.
Doing the above will begin the Healing Process of Nigeria. So that the Curse that is Plaguing the Land might be Atoned For. Anything apart from the above is a striving after the Wind. There is no Short Cut.
That is why you see Nations with the knowledge of the Laws that Operate in our Universe and Longer experiences in Modern Day Governance, Dedicate Memorial and Remembrance Days for the Dead.
WW 1- Remembrance Day,
WW 2 - D Day,
9/11 - Ground Zero,
The Lockerbie e.t.c.
God does not Create, Yoruba, Ibo or Hausa.
God Created his Children, If you want, let your Primitive Tribalism, blind you to the things of the Spirit.
Your Descendants will continue to Run Round in Circles like You are Doing Today.
He that Have Ears, Let Him Listen To What, The Spirit Says.
