A REPLY ON RELIGION

 A REPLY.

 

Good A.M. Frankie, sorry for the delay in my reply to your message.

Thank you for being my acquaintance.

 I believe that I can be 100% open with you, concerning my thoughts, about the Church in Ireland.

Throughout history, the atrocities that men have committed in the name of religion is truly appalling.

Where in history do we start, maybe from Constantinople in 325 A.D. With the Nicene Creed, when Emperor Constantine gathered all the Bishops, locked them up in his palace with a mandate to choose the Books that will become the Bible as we know it today.

He made Christianity the state religion for political reasons.

Changed the Sabbath to Sunday, the day that the Pagan Roman Empire worshipped the Sun god.

He became a Christian on his death bed.

The burning at Stake of Medival Europe, the sales of Indulgence until 1567 A.D. when Pope Pius V abolished it. 

The Inquisition or the Slave trade?

Or the modern-day daylight robbery of Tithes by the Pastors.

God said "bring 10% to my house" not into Pastor's pocket.

The atrocities that men have committed in the name of God throughout human history and till today is truly shocking.

Jesus Christ lectured us, about them in the Bible.

But we can not blame God for the iniquities of men.

A HISTORY OF REVOLUTIONS

 A HISTORY OF REVOLUTIONS.

Afolabi Babatunde, Please read the history of revolutions.

It is never structured in the beginning.

Authentic revolution always starts as a mass emotional reaction to oppression.

Then the elites, in their arrogance, will attack the masses with their military might.

They will kill some people. Then the riot will go down for a while.

Then the masses will go underground to regroup, it is then that the Leadership will emerge, then an organisation will be formed.

The organisation may become a political party or a deadly terrorist organisation like BOKO HARAM.

(The arrogance of the Nigerian Government created Boko Haram: Read their history).

In any case, it is the arrogance of the Elites that always do them in.

Either like in France, that their Heads got Chopped Off by the Guillotine.

Or in Russia where the whole family of the Tzar (Russian King) was put to the barrel of the gun. 

 Or like in Romania where their Dead Bodies litter the streets and their President faced the firing squad etc.

RACISM

RACISM.

TO BE RACIST OR TO BE TRIBAL IS TO BE PRIMITIVE.
RESPECT FOR ALL, ALONE IS THE SUPERIORITY OF A CIVILIZED MAN.

This killings of Black young men in America have to Stop.

America supposed to be the Land of the Free.

Myself, being a victim of Racism for many years, knew the dehumanising beast that racism is.

The hatred all the other races has against the Black People is unfounded.

 It is out of their Insecurities and their Ignorance.

I and some friends thought at a time that it might have something to do with pathology. Because how do you explain hatred and attack from someone you have never offended in any way.

But today, we know that all human beings on this planet Earth are Descendants of Africans.

I mean all Humans on Earth.

1.THE WHITES

2. THE YELLOWS

3. THE REDS

4. THE NOT SO WHITES

5. THE NOT SO YELLOWS

6. THE NOT SO REDS.

7. THE SKIN ASS.

8.THE KKK ASSES.

9. THE NEO NAZIASSES.

10. THE WHITE SUPREMEASSES.

I even go a step further and say that all the Western and Northern Europeans and their American Descendants have at least a 4 % Nigerian DNA in their body. I mean NIGERIAN in particular.

Anybody that doesn't, believe me, can send their European sample to Ancestry DNA.

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/

I am sure that the Eastern European mixture would be close to the Northern and Western European.

I suspect that the Southern European mixture could be between 4 - 10% etc.

The implications of this are that we all are 99.9% same under our Skin.

A PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE ON AFRICANS.

A HANDBOOK FOR THE COLONIAL SERVANTS IN AFRICA: A PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE ON AFRICANS.

On the surface, it will appear that the song and dance of the British advent in Africa are of a Carpetbagger advent disguised as a Soul saving Christian Evangelism with the power of Civilization. But scrape the surface you will see a deep-rooted Racism in their policies towards the Natives. For a starter, I read a Handbook from my Grandfather's Library when I was Eight or Nine years old. Although my young mind did not understand the implications of what I was reading. The title is A HANDBOOK FOR COLONIAL SERVANTS IN AFRICA. The things that stayed in my mind till today are.
1. Never use the same Toilets as the Natives.
2. Never Eat before the Natives
3. Never Bow or Take Off your Cap  Before Their Chiefs.
4. Never ask a Question from any Native, they must Belief that you know Everything.
5. Always look them straight in the eyes until they look down under your gaze.
6. Always call a Native to do all Manual Labour. Never touch a Manual work when a Native is around.
7. Never Laugh or Make a Joke with them.
Even the so-called Abolition of the Slave Trade was a Scam. They never plan to set the Black man free.
Although there are some Christians and White Liberals that sincerely abhor the Immorality of Slavery. But the British Government supported the Abolition for Economic Gains.
Thanks to Equiano Olaudah, He was the one that convinces the British Parliament to Stop Importing Black People to their Country. That over the years, the Black People will be more than the  Brits in their own Country.
Equiano Olaudah told the British Parliamentarians that it is more beneficial to the British People and the British Economy for the Black People to remain in their natural environment, given the high rate of Fertility among the Africans. That those Africans are potential Customers of British Products. He told them that they will make more money in leaving the Black People in Africa.
That they will make more money by Exporting the Products of the British Industrial Revolution to the Africans.
So Africa was set up as an Importation Continent.
This is very True until today in Nigeria, despite the potentials and wealth of Nigeria. There is not one Needle or Nail producing Factory in Nigeria.
Why I say Nigeria is a British Experiment is because when Nigeria was Annexed to Britain in 1861 we had the Northern and Southern Protectorates, two individual Countries, but in 1914 they came with the Devilish Seed of Destruction in the Guise of  Amalgamation.
Instructions then came from the Colonial Office in London to their Un-Lordship Lugard the then Governor of Nigger-Area (You may think it is Niger-Area).
That Lugard must never allow the Christian Missionaries to work in any part of the Northern Protectorate, The North must be maintained as an Islamic Nation (Yes, that is from, Britain a so-called Christian Nation).
But, the Muslim Preachers should be encouraged to Preach in the South.
Thus compounding, the Cultural and Language Divisions in the two Protectorates and Spiritually in the part of the South that accept Islam.
When the Independence Movements came to Nigeria it was the South that wanted it.
Britain recently lost the Jewel in the British Empire Crown to a Sage in a Loin Cloth with a Shepherd Staff.
The British saw the Triumph of Mahatma Gandhi as a Slap on their Empire Face because the British Believed that they are the Master of the Universe that is why they walk the Earth with Confidence in Authority.
The British, Refused to give Independence to the African Countries saying that they are not ready yet for the Business of running a Country It took some Gorrila wars before they started giving Independence to the African Countries.
So they did not want to lose Nigeria too. Because Nigeria is the Jewel in the British African Crown. That is why they use the North against the South, thus sowing the seed of Failure in Nigeria to prove to the world that they were right in not wanting Independence for the African Colonies.
It will be very naive of us to think that the Colonialist Loves us or had our Interest at Heart. He Loves his People and Has the Interest of His People at Heart.
It is Left for Us to Love or Oppresses One Another It is None of the White man's Business.

MANDELA DAY - MANDELA REVEALED

MANDELA DAY

MANDELA REVEALED

 I was following the coverage of Madiba’s death on
CNN, it occurred to me that most of the journalist was trying to find out,
what constitutes the essence of qualities manifested in Mandela.
I was curious too, having studied and lived in
Greece in the 70’s and 80’s under the Greek apartheid system, which continues
till today, (A Disgrace to the European Union). I still find it difficult to
forgive the Greeks for all the racism and discriminations I suffered at their
hands, after so many years.
 What kind of
a man will forgive a racist system that jailed him for twenty-seven years, and
then extend an olive branch to his jailers?  This was a puzzle to me, I tried to remember
what examples there was in history, the first person that came to mind was
Jesus, the Christ. Praying “Father Forgive them, for they know not what they
are doing”. ???.... His Killers?
Then my mind went to St. Paul, Francis of Assisi, Buddha, Confucius, e.t.c, and in
modern days, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Pope John Paul II, Moses
Orimolade, Mother Teresa.
 I meditated
over their lives and realized that these are a special breed among men; they
were the ones able to overcome their four lower bodies and free their spirit
from the shackles of the human soul, namely Hate, Greed, Lust, Anger, Ego and
Materialism.
They were the purified ones able to manifest the God
Qualities, when it was said, “God Created Man in His Image”.
They manifest that Image of God inherent in each one
of us. They were able to obey the most important of all laws “Love thy Neighbor
as Thyself”.
In loving others they find peace with themselves,
and with God. In Finding Peace with God, the Spirit of God dwells in them.. The
Spirit of God in them, elevate them to operate on a higher sphere of service to
mankind. Doing the Will of God, they become the Image of God on earth.
In the ancient times, humans that achieve this level
of consciousness were deified. In modern days, canonized if they are Catholics,
if not, a movement may be started after them. (The new Pope Francis, I believe
is one of them).
I realize that this is the plane of consciousness,
the ancient Pharaohs of Egypt, received training for, from childhood to become
a god.
I will not be surprised in the future if a new
Movement call MANDELAISM or MADIBAISM appears in the horizon.

PRESIDENTIAL GAFFE


Dear Mr President, with all due respect, this your interview really exposes your ignorance in the business of modern day Governance.

It is not the fault of uneducated youths, but evidence of a failed State.
Had it been that you decreed a mandatory free Qualitative Universal Education in Nigeria when you were our Military Dictator, those uneducated Youths will be University Graduates today.
I don't know what lazy youths you are talking about Mr President, maybe you have a lot of lazy, do nothing youths, loitering around the place in Daura.
But in Igbogbo, in Lagos State, where I came from, the youths always start their day from 05: 00 in the morning. you can hear the bus conductors who are also youths shouting their intended destinations from 04: 30. 

Do you mean that the Millions of Nigerian Youths, that, your Pampered Opportunistic Generation has mortgaged their future and reduced them to "Okada" Riders are lazy?
Do you know what efforts and courage, it takes for this young men to put their lives on the line daily, on the Nigerian Death Trap Roads just for peanuts? 

Please, Mr President, tell me, sir, what is the purpose of the Nigerian Oil Money?
Is it to be Stolen by the corrupt VIPs? (Vagabonds In Power).
Sir, the money of a Country belongs to the people of that Country, not the Corrupt Politicians.
Sir, the Lazy ones are the overfed Ingrates, the Abuja Clowns that collects 9 Billion Naira yearly as their Wardrobe Allowance while they refuse to increase the National Minimum Wage from $50.00 USD per Month to $100.00 USD per Month.

This type of thought processes exposes us to ridicule in the World community. this type of reasoning is why President Donald Trump said: "Africans are Slaves, they Live as Slaves in Their Own Fatherland".

DESTRUCTION OF IGBOGBO: THE ANCIENT TOWN.

DESTRUCTION OF IGBOGBO: THE ANCIENT TOWN.

I was unable to concentrate on the film that I was editing in the studio today, so much so, that my colleague that was handling the editing equipment kept asking me if all was well with me because I was easy to be satisfied today. My mind was restless, my thoughts were all over the place. Especially the towns and villages that I have visited all over the world, the ones that I have seen their documentaries and the ones that I have read about.
But it was Athens and Greece, that featured mostly on my mind because this is a City and a Country that I know more than any other in the World, including my Country of birth, Nigeria.
Because it is in Greece that I spent my youth in the seventies.
I went to Greece as a young student and I left Greece as a grown man with all that implies.

I travelled extensively in Greece, I visited most of the Ancient Sites and Ruins all over Greece. I visited from Knossos in the Crete Island in the South (Knossos is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and has been called Europe's oldest city. Settled as early as the Neolithic period, the name Knossos survives from ancient Greek references as the major city of Crete).

To The Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, a museum in the Biblical City of Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia, Northern, Greece. It holds and interprets artefacts from the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods, mostly from the city of Thessaloniki but also from the region of Macedonia in general. It is this Museum that made me understand how the World works.
I saw artefacts from thousands of years to hundreds of years before me. With each generation contributing its own development to the Human Civilization Process.

From the Temple of Artemis in the northwesternmost part of Greece on Corfu Island in the Ionian Seas (The Temple of Artemis is an Archaic Greek temple built in around 580 BC - that is about 2,597 years ago-  in the ancient city of Korkyra (or Corcyra: Latin), in what is known today as the suburb of Garitsa. The temple was dedicated to Artemis. It is known as the first Doric temple exclusively built in stone. [1] It is also considered the first building to have incorporated all of the elements of the Doric architectural style.

To the Archaeological Site of Olympia, an ancient site on Greece's Peloponnese peninsula that hosted the original Olympic Games, founded in the 8th century B.C.- That is 2,817 years ago - Its extensive ruins include athletic training areas, a stadium and temples dedicated to the gods Hera and Zeus. The Archaeological Museum of Olympia exhibits finds from the site, including a statue of Hermes attributed to the sculptor Praxiteles.

A bit of History that is not known to the general public, is that in ancient times, the Olympic Flame was Lightened with Incantations.

But Athens was my City, I embrace the Athenian Culture and way of Life as mine, so much so that at a stage in my life, my Thought Processes were an Athenian Greek.
The Athenian Culture that I cherish above others is Democracy, they invented it. Especially the Freedom of Speech and Expression. It is a deep-rooted Culture in Athens particularly and Greece in general. I hold this ideal so dear to my heart till this day, that, I will rather lose my Life than lose my Freedom of Expression.


  My most favourite place in Athens is the Plaka Area beneath the Acropolis. The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city of Athens and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historic significance, the most famous being the Parthenon, there have been documented habitations in Attica from the Early Neolithic period (6th millennium BC) That is over 8,000 Years ago.
This is where the Athenians offer sacrifices to their Pantheon of Gods and it was here that Apostle Paul preached Christ to the Athenians. Acts 17:16-34.

Although Athens is over 8,000 years old, it is every bit a very modern city today. Over the centuries, the Athenians improve the city structures according to the dictates of that period in History.

In reality, all over Greece, you will find a newly built modern building beside the ruins of an ancient building or a neo-Classic and may be a Baroque period.

I hope my readers will understand the depth of the frustration that I felt when I heard that my Beloved Hometown of Igbogbo was under attack.

IGBOGBO is on Co-ordinate:

   6°35'29.85"N  3°31'4.5"E

 (You can copy and paste this Co-ordinate on Google Earth it will take you straight to the doors of my Ancestral Compound right in the centre of the Town).

Before I go any further, I need to apologise to all my Readers, fellow Nigerians, and the Abuja Clowns that Collects 9 Billion Naira Yearly for the Purchase of their Gown of the Clowns; while they refuse to increase our National minimum wage from $50 to $100 per Month.
I apologise to them, that, I thought they had the monopoly to Harlequinism.

I categorically say it here and now, that I was not playing the politics of "My Thief is Better than your Thief" which is prevalent among Nigerians. To me,  either from East, West, North or South. A  Thief is a Thief, is a Thief.

What happened is that I bought into the Lagos State Propaganda Machinery. Because the last time I was on the ground in Nigeria, was until 1985, when I came to work in Nigeria for LTV8,  during the wonderful Government of the Famous Trinity of Jakande, Jafojo and Olorunfunmi Basorun. I  now realise that was the Golden age of honest and Sincere Governance in my beloved State.

I thought that the politicians that inherit their offices continued in their Tradition of Integrity. I did not realise that all the doing this and doing that, I was reading in the News were just propaganda.

That, while, I concentrated on the Clowns in Abuja, I have agents of Destroctruction in my Backyard.
I will explain, the extent of their Destruction in the Second Part of this article next week.

I did not know that they are FELA'S "BEAST OF NO NATION".
