FALLING and RISING

MAN O’MAN...
a man's life is about struggling...
A man struggles to live,
Struggle to die
MAN O’MAN...
A man struggles to be a man
Man struggle to live like a man
MAN O’MAN...
Man struggles to care for everyone except himself
Caring for women, dogs, and children
MAN O’MAN...
Man struggles not to fall
Man struggle to get up and keep fighting
Till man dies
MAN O’MAN...
Tell a man “It is okay if you don't have it all”
Tell a man it is okay not to stand up when he falls
MAN O’MAN...
Most times Man's problem is that man forces himself to stand up after falling
Which is not bad
But sometimes why man keeps falling over and over again is because man is forcing himself to stand up even when his legs are not strong enough to carry him
MAN O’MAN...
Sometimes when you fall as a man look around you
Understanding that it is normal to fall
After all, you are a human and imperfect
When you fall accept your falling, look around you, and understand why you fall
Sit down, Master the ground
After all, sitting down is part of human behavior
Sit on the ground don't bother about standing up if your legs aren't strong enough to carry you
Else you will fall and keep falling till you lose all hope
MAN O’’MAN...
A man who seats on the ground can not be afraid of falling
Master the ground make it your own
Learn your lessons about why and why you fell in the first place
Make sure your legs are fit enough to carry your body weight and every other thing you must carry as a standing man
MAN O’MAN...
It is not about getting up on your feet again
It is about learning your lessons and making sure you are strong enough to stand again
Keep it low until you are strong enough to take it higher and make a mark
Keep your voice down until you are strong enough to speak loud enough for everyone to listen
MAN OH MAN...
please take care of yourself alone till you become strong enough to take care of women, children and dogs..

My religion
People of God,
Let me tell you something you should know about me and my belief
Growing up as a Christian-Igbo boy
I was born a Catholic boy in a Catholic family I was baptized in the Church and I received holy communion and the sacrament of confirmation
As a Catholic boy
But also as an Igbo boy too I was also baptized and initiated into mmowu (masquerade)
We call it Iba mmowu and I started receiving the communion of Odinani too
These are all the same thing in different lands and formation
The same way a Catholic priest will take up bread(what's available in the land of Oyibo) give thanks raise it up to call their ancestors, saints and God to come and partake in the communion before he finally breaks it and shares it to the congregation
It is no different than when an elderly Igbo man or dibia (chief-priest) takes up a kola(whats available to them) to give thanks to God, call upon his ancestors and the great men (past), the four elements of creation
The four market days
And then break the kola then share it for everyone to eat in communion
The Catholic priest will also get a wine 🍾 give thanks and do the same thing he did with the bread
So does the dibia as he gets the palm wine 🍶 he will say... (ihe anyi kwuru n’oji ka anyi na ekwu n’mmaya) what we did or said with the kola is what we are doing with this palm wine
And then everyone will drink also in communion
These are all the same
The only difference here is what's available with the other
When you go to a Jewish man’s house he will offer you a seat bread and the very best of wine he has
When you go to an Igbo man’s house he will offer you a seat a kola nut and nkwu-ocha (palm wine)
That's how you know that you are In an Odogwu’s house
Again the only difference here is what's available the early Igbo man knows nothing of bread in communication with the spirits and Chukwuokike Abiama
He knew only Kola and Palmwine
So does the Jewish man that knows nothing of kola nut and palm wine
He knew only the wine made from vines
That's what they use in communication with the spirits and God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob
Now here comes my personal problem and understanding
Man is like a tree
For example, you are a mango
What it means is that you came out of a mango tree
Because you cannot be a mango and you are coming out from a guava tree
It's not naturally possible right???
Thank you
Now imagine someone telling you as a mango to cut yourself out of the mango tree and attach yourself to an orange tree because it looks more fruitful and it looks better
Being fully aware that a mango tree is always softer than that of orange
And they both have a different seasons of omimi
Naturally one should be aware that a mango fruit can't do better In other trees than it would in it's own tree
Than doesn't make other trees devilish or bad trees
They are only getting the nutrients from their certain grounds(spirit realm) from their roots (Ancestors) to the body of the trees( Patanal and maternal grand parents) to the branches (parents) to the fruits (YOU)
But inside the fruits, there is a seed (your soul)
If it is well planted and not broken it will germinate again (reincarnation)
That is the circle of life
This I learned on my own with my Chi
SO I AM NOT AN ENEMY OF JESUS OR MUHAMMED
I'm not just a member of their treeline
From my view of life, Jesus and Muhammad have no impact on me just as the guava tree has no impact on the mango fruit
As a mango fruit whatever nutrient I want will come to me through the mango tree to the roots to the ground
Yeah the guava and every other tree receive everything from the same ground the water the nutrients the manure but no tree gives to another
This is simply how it is with humanity
Your relationship with your parents is a big deal to your relationship with divinity or spirituality
That is why the bible commands you to honor thy father and thy mother so that thy days maybe long(successful)
They are your connectivity to your ancestors to your God there is no other connectivity
(Do not be deceived)
Then imagine praying to your ancestors with bread and mmaya vine
They don't know what you're doing
And you can not invoke their spirits with that
And as a mango fruit, you don't have a direct connection with the ground (God and spirituality)
Whatever you need you will pray and get them through the branches to the roots (your parents to your ancestors)
Omenani Ndi na eche Ndi (people's tradition guards them)
Whenever a man leaves his tradition to adopt a foreign tradition/Religion that could be regarded as IDLE worshipping and he has started cutting himself out of his tree
What it means is death
But if you embrace the tree that is who you are
You will receive the blessings of your parents and ancestors who only meant well for you
But just like the mango fruits you must remain attached to to the mango tree
The honoring of thy mother and father
So please my dear brothers and sisters I am not an enemy of Christ
I just don't believe in Christ or any other foreign believe
I only believe in what my ancestors believed in
And I also believe in my ancestors
They are the ones who I bear their name
They are my mediator to my Chi-Ukwu Okike Abiama
And so I stretch out my hands to you and In acceptance regardless of whatsoever you believe in
And as long as it's working for you I am okay with you if you are okay with me
Since we all preach love
And if your religion is telling you that there is no religion in the afterlife we shouldn't use it to discriminate against one another or let it bring division to us
And since everyone them teaches love let's embrace love and live together regardless of our religion and be humans first
Ya gazie
