   Nkomii

The Nkomii is the book of life that teaches the divine, original path to salvation inherent in the spirituality of Okebulani (Africa). It is incumbent upon every person of African ancestry seeking divine and original spirituality, and all Children of the light, yearning to experience the Omnipresence, Omnipotence, Omniscience and Magnificence of Chineke, and the reward of paradise on earth, to live their lives according to the teachings revealed therein.

This can be an easy task for those blessed with an understanding of Igbo, one of the languages of divine communication. But for those not so blessed, a translation and illumination of the Nkomii is thus a task to be taken seriously and must be done.

Before the reader begins to study the Nkomii, you must understand that unlike some writings of the recent religions of the book, the revelations contained in this book are unique, with an eternal spiritual message and universal relevance and application. It’s contents are not confined to a particular theme, but contains the foundation for an entire way of life, defining a broad spectrum of issues pertaining to the traditional metaphysics of Africa; from cosmogony through cosmology to ontology and mysticism; the sociological dimension of it’s spirituality as an instrument of societal control around the globe; from specific articles of faith and commitment, to moral teachings, rites and obligations; sin, salvation and retributive justice; personal, spiritual and public law.

The current available books and teachings on Africa religion or spirituality and what we see in recent times in the unprecedented onslaught of the peoples awareness seminars, workshops and revival attempts sometimes referred to as Oshun, Santeria etc., are an eclectic distortion of the true tradition. While these attempts may offer valuable experiences and insight, the real understanding of the ancient knowledge and the depth and richness of the traditional spirituality is lost.

This Nkomii is the First Edition that brings to light, and teaches, the true spirituality of Africa, and it’s focus is the complete eradication of the spiritual bondage and servitude under which our children labor in, and at the same time enlighten the human race on what true spirituality is. The second edition will focus on an indept and detailed study of the spirituality in the discipline of prayer, rituals; meditation; purification; fasting; contemplation; environmental serenity and your personal Shrine.

Ancient human society had the spiritual teachings that supported and sustained primordial traditional life. Therein revealed is the most ancient of world cosmogony that got muddled in midstream with the dispersal of humanity from Africa and the passage of time.

The similarities in the narrations in the Nkomii on creation, to the teachings and renditions of the recent religions of the book, will be an enlightenment for those not privy to the fact that their renditions are distillates from the original, divine teachings illuminated therein.

It is accepted today that all of the books/ bibles/ scrolls in use today were the compilations of male and female (especially male) writers, compiled into the various versions of “holy bibles and scrolls”, and are the result of many revisions and translations that cover a period of approximately two thousand, five hundred years---695 b.c. to 1973 a.d.

All these were preceded by the first revelations of the indigenous people of West Africa. It was from them that the basic teachings of most world religions originated, i.e. Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Strengthen your faith and enrich your wisdom from these truths of history :- The fossils of the Cro-Magnon, the Java, the Neanderthal and the Piltdown men were celebrated as the oldest forms of humans ever found. They were touted as the “uncivilized primitive” humans of the Paleolithic age dating as far back as 5000 b.c. Quite recently, archeologists Leaky and his team , dug up fossils in the eastern part of Africa dating as far back as 1.5 million years b.c., to cancel the claims of the earlier archeologists for the Java man.

For years Egyptologists had put down Ijeputa (Egypt) as having the oldest civilization of humankind dating as far back as 4000 b.c. But now, archeologists have dug up in Igbo Ukwu, a community in the land of the Igbo of Nigeria, a civilization dating as far back as 5000 b.c., 1000 years older than the acclaimed civilization of Ijeputa. It was and is the Igbo spiritual civilization of West Africa that sipped through the long period of 1000 years to surface in Ijeputa and Nubia as another form of civilization in the year 4000 b.c. The word “Egypt” is a corruption of an Igbo name or phrase, “Ijeputa”, which means a crossroads or land that you will, in the ancient time, make use of in your travels across Africa to far away places.

The greatest need of all oppressed people is a process of decolonization in all spheres of human endeavor in the following manner:-

••Spiritual emancipation.

••Political and economic development.

To the Children of the light of Africa ancestry who, seeking to escape from the cultural domination and discrimination of the Christian world and wanting to get associated with a religion which they can trace to Africa, the home of their ancestors, had gone into Islam and become Black muslims. They have not by that conversion re-established contact with the spiritual and cultural past of their ancestors, which is the satisfaction they are seeking.

Islam is symbolic of Arab nationalism, which was began in Mecca by Mohammed And Mecca is not in Africa Islam spread into North Africa by conquest from Mecca and Medina, all of which are not cities in Africa.

In the New Standard Encyclopedia, vol. 6, pages 1216-1217, about the world population of Muslims, it is written: “ There are only a few practicing Muslims living permanently in the United States-estimates range from 10,000 to 20,000. These figures do not include Negroes of the Black Muslim group, generally not considered true Muslims.” This view is held about black people in Islam all around the world. They are not counted as true Muslims! The important thing is not what Black Muslims think of themselves, but what others think of them! Their true religious heritage is in Godianism.

The descendants of the children of Africa must see that episode of history-- 16th to the 19th century---in which millions of our people were transported across the Atlantic ocean as a blessing. This is an underlying philosophy of stoicism, which has made Africa smile in difficulties through centuries of the machinations of detractors and enabled those in America to survive the badgering of American society over the centuries. Together we must resolve to give dynamic purpose to the existence of black communities all over North and South America and the Caribbean, as advance communities, created of the Omniscience of Chineke..

The purpose: as a launching pad for the re-emergence of the spiritual civilization of Africa, that would transport every mind to the higher plane of spiritual balance, inspire mutual respect among races and return peace to humanity. At the same time, it is mandatory that the children of Africa all over the world re-connect the umbilical cord to the motherland. It is the mission of Godianism to unite our people in the Diaspora with families and communities in Africa into which they must be assimilated and accepted as members of the communities. This is our divine mandate.

Nsibidi mbu (1), verse 12, Jen’isisi (Nke Okike)
The Exhortation from Chineke to the "Children of the Light."

No one is created by me to be destitute. Listen inwardly to yourself, identify who you are in terms of your Ikenga, then properly interpret and obey my faint voice in you, and you will be led by your Chi to the hallmark of your Akaraka, which is ultimate happiness which consummates itself in service from which my children of the light will derive happiness, consolation and peace of mind.”. 

Ofo..Yagazie..Ise.

 Love is the highest spirituality. Any religion that cannot make its adherents to love, tolerate and live in harmony with members of other religions, is no religion at all. The mutual killings ravaging the religious front everywhere on earth tells just one sad story. That just now , the world has no true religion. It is this vacuum that Godianism has come to fill. To teach love and live love, as a re-emergence of the divine spiritual civilization of ‘biri ka’m biri’ (live and let live) from ancient Africa.”
--Ahanyi, Ogb'aja Kama Onu Kama Onyioha.

...It was the distortion of our religion that cripples black people to this day. You cannot successfully oppress a consciously historical people. You can only oppress by taking their history, and you do that by colonizing their concept of God, make them mentally dependent on those who take away their freedom.”

--Dr. John Henrik Clarke.

CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT

THE FOUNDATION OF IGBO AND WORLD SPIRITUALITY

The willingness of peoples to come together can be said to depend largely on their education--education which can be defined as a deliberate system of culture promotion or course of instigation by which a person is forged to fit squarely into the society to which he or she belongs as a responsible citizen. In ancient times, even before schools existed, the purpose of education was to train members of a community in fundamental skills, approved beliefs, habits, customs, group traditions and religion peculiar to a community. Skills of defense from perceived enemies, farming, and shelter, which is in architecture, were included in the education of the youths of a group through their parents before the institution of formal schools. Folklore, proverbs, folksongs and oral traditions were powerful vehicles by which parents of ancient times conveyed and instilled education in their children. In a broad sense everything that is acquired in a life time: habits, knowledge, skills, interests, attitudes, personality, language, not merely by attending schools but by the totality of life time experience, is education. In other words, education concerns itself with all the capabilities and Habits acquired by a human as a member of society--making education simply culture promotion within a given community of human beings.

The culture of a nation or race is defined as the customs, information and skill, domestic and public life, in peace and war; religion, science and art, manifest in the transmission of past experiences to the new generation. Culture stems from every component of human existence, as a means by which a person adjusts to a given environment and expresses his or herself, as not learned by individual experience but socially, as tradition which is handed down, with language as the most important means of social transmission of culture. Culture is non-genetic. All that therefore which is non-biological but socially transmitted including the customs, history; arts; dances; philosophy; proverbs; religion; folksong; folklore; parables; language; military techniques; agricultural methods; architecture, and the political and economic system of a people is culture.

While culture is no substitute for life, it is the key to life. So that had we, all the years we had been beating about the bush of religion and politics in a wild goose chase for national/international unity, set our problem of unity upon the broad base of culture, we would have found in it the key to the solution of our problems of unity. For in the cultural evaluation of all the different human ethnic groups in the world. We would have found enough identical points in the personality and customs, history, language, social attitudes, habits, and traditional religious and socio-economic philosophies of the various racial/ethnic groups to convince that there are more cultural facts that should unite us than there are factors that differentiate us in this our paradise of Earth. For instance, the Holy Nkomii teaches us that ancient human society had a Spiritual teaching that supported and sustained primordial traditional life. The similarities in the narration in the Holy Nkomii, to the teachings and renditions of the recent religions of the book show an inter-relationship between them. So that, from a religious perspective, the foundation of most world religion is derived from the same source.

HEREIN IS THE SOURCE FOUNTAIN OF IGBO AND MOST WORLD SPIRITUALITY:

Nsibidi mbu (I)

Vs.1

In the beginning, Chineke (The Creator), was, and is, in the heavens (Igwe) and Earth (Uwa), and all living things on the land and waters; and the land was one; the seas were one; the Spirit was in everything and it was good.

Vs.2

Chineke created the first man and his name was Ifenta (Iventa). “ Ife or Ive” in this name means light, and “nta” means small or junior. For this, humanity is called “Nde’ife”,  meaning the "children of the light", whereby Chineke is the Supreme light of the universe while Ifenta is the junior light of the world, and Ifenta was in the image of Chineke and the first son.

Vs.3

Chineke created the first woman. She was beautiful and in the image of the Spirit, and  Chineke said  “Nkea bu Ada’m” ("This is my daughter”) and first daughters are called Ada, and Ifenta and Ada were the children of the light.

Vs.4

Chineke said to them, “ I am, all seeing, all knowing, and the creative force of the universe. All and Every energy flows from me. Know that I am, the supreme light of the universe, and you, the junior light of the worlds”.

Vs.5

“You are my children. You cannot die. You have two selves, your spiritual self, which is your nmuo (soul), and is immortal like Me; this is your real self which is one with Me; it can never die. Your second self is the physical expression of your soul. This body can wither with age and time and collapse to allow your soul to assume a new physical frame to re-incarnate and continue its’ existence on earth.”

 Vs.6

“Everything I have created, all the animals and the plants, are for your “nmanma” (goodness) and well being. None is intended to harm you. If you mix them in their appropriate cosmic  relationship, the result will always be to enhance your happiness on earth.”

Vs.7

“I, will not show you all at once how to use them because if I do, you would want to use them all at once; but by trial and experience, you will be able to preserve and perpetuate your existence on this earth, which I, have made your primary home. I, give you power to mate, procreate to multiply yourselves and populate the worlds”.

Vs.8

“Meanwhile, I give you two fruits, nkoro and akpa, to live on, until by trials and experience, you will be able to find out for yourselves the value of these things that I have created and how to use them to enhance your welfare on earth”.    

 Vs.9

“I will be with you always”. The first proverb to Ifenta and Ada -“Gi gezie nti n’ala, gi  g’anu ikitiokpa ndanda”. (“If you listen carefully to the ground, you will hear the footsteps of the ants”.)

THE HUMAN CONSCIENCE

Vs.10      

“If you listen carefully into your soul, you will hear my faint voice from within, telling you  what to do or what not to do in your time of need; and what is right or wrong. My faint voice in you is your Chi, or Me in you.

Vs.11

“You will carry your Chi  around with you as your guardian, telling you what is right or  wrong in everything you do. Your Chi  will be the presiding judge over your daily actions, with power to reward or punish instantaneously, or in delayed cumulation of retributive justice”.

 DESTINY

Vs.12

“No one is created by Me to be destitute. Listen inwardly to yourself, identify who you are in terms of your Ikenga (Talent), then properly interpret and obey my faint voice in you, and you will be led by your Chi  to the hallmark of your akaraka (destiny), which is ultimate happiness in life which you can achieve no matter your station in life”. 

Vs.13

“Whatever your Chi  tells you to do, do with all your heart, for as to each person, I give a best in one thing as a path to the fulfillment of the ultimate destiny of happiness from which my children of the light shall derive happiness, consolation and peace of mind. So look into yourself, identify your ikenga (Talent), work with Me and all will be well”.

Vs.14

“Gi mee nma, gi nata nmanma; gi mee njoo, gi nata so njoo”.

“If you do good, you reap goodness, if you are evil, you reap evil”. “I have made it for your soul, which is one with Me and immortal, to never die but to re-incarnate in a new body and continue its existence. But if you do good or evil in your life, you will reap what you have sown or reincarnate in your next life to reap My retribution, in human or a lower level of existence”.

Vs.15

“I, created you in My image and gave you life and I alone have the right to take it back. You shall not kill or enslave and my retribution is‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”.

Vs.16

“ Do not forget who I am, and do not forget the things that I have given to you to make you who you are. My spirit is with you. Live in peace”.

THE ORIGIN OF THE SHRINES IN OKEBULANI  

UZO NKE CHINEKE

The Seven Lights From One

Vs.1

Vs.3

Ifenta said to Ada, "Let us first build a Shrine with the Sun as the symbol of the Omnipresence, Omnipotence, Immortality and Magnificence of Chineke". They built the Shrine and it was and forever shall be "Anyanwu". They poured a libation glorifying the name of Chineke.

Vs.8

They built the Shrine to distill the Grace of Chineke's milk of kindness to continuously flow to suckle and sustain their life and those of their descendants; And it was and forever shall be "Ekwuru Ochie/Imo Nmiri". They poured a libation glorifying the name of Chineke.
