NYESOM WIKE, AND TOTAL DEPRAVITY OF MAN.
Igbos say that a Man who does not know his father’s house will always miss his way to his homeland; We say that the House Lice always told it’s children to be patient for hot things get cool over time…We also say that you do not need to consult a priest to learn how to be mischievous, all you do is to spoil any good thing on your way to become a Mischievous or bad Man.
In nature, no one man has the sole propriety to violence, killings and wickedness, but good men avoid these because they reflect the level of the depravity of Man.
John Calvin, one the key writers during the reform of the Church in 1536, proposed teachings and doctrines which formed the bedrock of the systemic theological reform movement. Calvin’s Calvinism stressed the Doctrine of Predestination and that people are saved through God’s grace and not through their own merits.
He gave Five Pillars upon which most present Protestant Churches stand. These are; The Depravity of Man, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace and Preservation of the Saints. I will be dwelling on the first and last Pillars here.
Depravity of Man means that “Man is dead” The Bible declares in Ephesians 2:1-6, that we are all dead in Trespasses and in Sin, unless we are regenerated, or born again. The man who is dead in sin, hates God, and his carnal mind is in enmity against God, Romans 8:7. Such a dead man in sin cannot do good works for he is not regenerated and cannot be regenerated, cannot follow Gods instructions because his Spirit is not quickened and his flesh profits him nothing! He remains empty. It is only God gives life and only a regenerated Christian can be saved…Salvation can therefore never be offered to a dead man in sin, because it will be like offering food to a corpse!
God saves us and gives us life sovereignly without looking for our merits, for, salvation is of the Lord. Jonah 2:9.
A man who is dead in sin, having voluntarily chosen to rebel against God is Totally Depraved and condemnable before all the heavens!
The Governor of Rivers State,as he then was, Chief Ezenwo [ Ezenwa] Nyesom [Nyesom] Wike [Nwaike] 53 years old then, surely is of Igbo ancestry but belongs to those who deliberately deny their ancestry and origins for the pot of porridge offered by the Federal Government system in Nigeria of divide and rule.
Any grown Fulani Man sees them as tools to further deepen their ” Ownership of Nigera” and In spite of all their types did for their master in the past, one fate befell each and every one of them that has shed blood of the Igbo Man, …They get killed in shameful ways by their master.
A slave who watched his master bury a dead colleague should never expect his master to bury him differently, yet these men from Rivers State and their generations still expect different burial rites from their master. I do not need to name names.
First, Chief Wike, as a Lawyer, knows that His People gained wealth by converting Igbo Property under the Abandoned Property Saga, after the Biafra Civil War. Nothing was done to these looters, because they looted from Igbos, their own brothers, and so like King Herod, who saw that the killing of early Church Christians pleased his onlookers went a step further to arrest Apostle Paul with the hope of shaming him in public but God intervened.
King Herod is remembered today for his wickedness, while Apostle Paul wrote 13 books of the Holy Bible. Chief Wike should stop reading the Holy Bible, for no Herod read the holy book! He should continue to shed the Blood of Igbos and IPOB members, till his cup becomes full as God shall pour out a full cup of His wrath on all who kill for power, and he will go the way of the wicked. I note, that the Holy Book declares, that there shall ne NO Rest for the Wicked, emphasis mine. History will remember him for all his wickedness!
Second, Wike rose in politricks, of Nigeria, from the Chairmanship of the Richest LGA in Rivers State, Obio/Akpor, to become a very close associate of his Governor, Rotimi Amaechi his friend, who sent him off to Abuja as a Minister, where he developed close ties with the Jonathans and knowing the power of money in the game of politricks drove a hedge hammer between Jonathan and Amechi for his own personal gains.
Incidentally these two Rivers political Chieftains have a few things in common; They both bear Igbo names, have Igbo Ancestry, Married to Igbo Wives, Deny their Origins, and believe in Killing for Political Power.
Amaechi’s encouragement of the killing of his opponents in the last elections in Rivers has earned him a slot in the Travel Ban by the US, Wike’s arrest and killing of hundreds of Igbo Youths in Obigbo, shall as heaven lives earn him a Jail Term at the ICC in due season. Mark this.
Third, While Wike believes so much in the killing of his opponents, he has destroyed many peoples means of lively hood, pulling down their investments, he failed to look at and learn from the examples set by his mentor, Good Luck Ebele Jonathan, who left the high and lofty trappings in Aso Rock as a President because he never wished or wanted any Nigerian Blood shed for his ambition.
Wike instead plunged himself deep into the very things that Jonathan loathed so much!
Jonathan lived through as a Deputy Governor without killing under Alamesigha, never killed to become Vice President, Never killed as a President. In fact Dame Patience his good wife shed tears on live Tv, for the killings in the North East under their watch. It was at the beginning of terrorism with the abduction of Chibok Girls under the able “clean Hands “ of Modu Sherrif and Shettima. I must watch my words, because the latter is now the VeePee. Every person from other tribes can say what they like, Curse, prophesy hate and unprintable things, even Kill and Boast about it,
Wike on the other hand killed thousands of Igbo Youths, in Obigbo, while till date his colleagues sit, wine and dine with confirmed terrorists, and the Power looks the other way.
As for me,Onye-Igbo, I could be jailed for life not because, I told any lies, But essentially because Iam an Igbo Man.
Wike betrayed his his own origin brothers, in order to be tipped for VeePee Slot of his Party in the 2023 elections, but he did not make. Even if Wike leaves the PDP as I see it happening, he shall fall flat because the numerous Igbo Youth,s blood shed by him speaks and cries up to high heavens against him. God spared Wike because of his allegiance to the good servant of God, Jonathan, but having careered off, in a frolic of his own, in search of his own selfish, lofty ascension to high throne, he shall be cast down like his master the devil!
Fourth, Wike was a known Student Activist in his time, some even said he was a the Alcapoon, of a Cult, Iam not sure.
As a student activist, he protested against the status quo, he wanted change, and he was not killed.
He differed in Opinion with many as an LGA Chairman, he was not killed. He has publicly insulted a Traditional Ruler, and he was not killed.
He fought along side Amaechi as Governor, their opponents did not kill them, but he has become totally depraved and resorted to the killing and shedding of Igbo Blood, how then shall his prayers for mercy not be an abomination to the just and righteous God? The Bible declares ” You cannot mock God, what a man sows he shall reap!
The Last of the Five Pillars from Calvinism is On the Preservation of the Saints. God preserves his People so that they can never be lost. In John 6:39, Jesus himself declared ….” And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them away from my hand” Now those Igbo and IPOB Youths are the saints who shall never loose their place in eternal glory! The living among Igbo Youths shall continue in their good works, never killing, never destroying property, but just asking for a nation of their own. Wike should wonder why they keep coming back in spite of several Python Dances, Crocodile Dances, against IPOB? It is because these have the Grace Of God in great supplies. Their God, the God of Isreal, is a Mighty Rock, if He falls on you, you are crushed, if you are dashed on it you fall apart, but those who stand on it Like the Igbo Youths shall get help, they shall run and never be weary…God is with them in water and on the land! None of these shall the totally depraved Man see.
I was young and now Iam old, I have never seen the wicked go unpunished!
This was an article I prepared to publish just before the 2023 elections but got carried away by so many things. I stumbled into it today as I was searching for another write up and thought, why not publish it. It will bring more Leaders of the Politricks of Nigeria back to their senses. Killing For Power has terrible consequences….which does not spare any no matter your station in Life. From Religious Leaders to Political Game Players, there shall be a time for Judgement. What shall it profit you, to gain all this Power, and Loose your Soul, bring damnation to your generations unborn, even onto your fourth Generation? When I gaze into the Abbys of Nigeria, The Abbys gazes back terrible and disastrous scenarios to me. Lord Have Mercy!
