9ja's Oracle

Chief Priest! I am vexed at the stupidity of my people! Their stupendous ignorance is irking me!! You have to work harder to get them informed...Due to their ignorance, unscrupulous elements have decided to take advantage of my people. You find such men in government, in the civil and public service, in schools and most unfortunately, in church-which is the area that pains me the most. Now, due to the average Nigerian’s belief (as predominantly Muslims, Christians and idol worshippers) in a supernatural being who knows, sees and has answers to everything; crafty men and women have emerged, who pose as mediators to this Supernatural being. They pose as men and women who can get the supernatural being to solve any given problem which cuts across finance; health; careers; academics; politics…name it! They even get this supernatural being to prevent unfavorable circumstances from befalling their faithful. With the average Nigerian undergoing series of hardship from all corners and t...

I was in a dream, in the midst of unknown faces who were obviously polished men and women; professionals from different fields; intellectuals; very important personalities...I can go on and on! They all appeared to be about the same age or older than my parents but I was not intimidated. We were in a cocktail party and I felt we were of the same ilk. We talked about politics, the economy, our professions and family. It was at this point that every guest started introducing his/her child or children to the small crowd. I noticed that most of that the children to the main guest were about my age; but I was shocked when it dawned on me that they were far less polished than their parents.  I tried engaging them in discussions bothering on their areas of endeavor but was somewhat disappointed. Their answers to my question didn't flow naturally as those of their parents; in fact, they appeared memorized. It was so obvious that this set of people lacked knowledge of their fields…an...

The Shrine www.9jas-oracle.blogspot.com 26 th December 2011 Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan, President, Federal Republic of Nigeria. My dear Son, An Open Letter Showing My Disappointment On  16 th   of  April 2011, despite all odds, Nigerians voted you into power. Owing to the then purported cool disposition and level headedness you possessed, they (Nigerians) saw you as the needed break away from the past, where Olusegun Obasanjo ruled supreme to the point of being almost tyrannous. Nigerians sheepishly repeated your mantra, saying that 'We are Goodluck Jonathan'. They believed all your promises of a better Nigeria. To ensure that the election went on well as to produce you as President; Nigerians lost their lives, especially those from the Southern part of the country. They were all full of joy when you were announced President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and eventually sworn in. Most Nigerians declared 'Yeah! Goodluck is President, now...

Gbagam! Gbagam! Gbagam!! It is another day at the shrine! The great Oracle! Here is kola, I pour libations unto you! Wise one, your people have come...they have come to seek your face and wisdom on the calamity that has befallen our land! They have a question for you, Great one! Your people ask: 'WHO IS KILLING NIGERIANS?'  People are dying...every new day comes with it, news about someone's death! And the most painful part is...dem suspect say 'na people dey kill all these people'! Calamity! Oh Calamity!! The Great one; just yesterday Mazi Udeorji, a 120 year old man, died...his great grand children are accusing their next door neighbours of being responsible for his death! Look at Mama Azunna, the one residing in Lagos... she died of breast cancer...her children say it was sent to her from the village!! Look at Ike-bobo; exactly one month after his wedding ceremony; while on a night journey to Abuja he was killed by armed robbers...His family members said t...

Gbagaun! Gbagaun!! Gbagaun!! The Great 9ja's Oracle!! I was beginning to think you had deserted your people! Why have you woken me at such an hour when spirits are in Ekeukwu Owerri? Speak Oracle! Your servant and Mouth Piece is listening!! Every year, via the Nigerian National Honors, 'deserving' Nigerians are granted recognition for supposedly having 'rendered services to the benefit of the nation'. These honors include, in descending order of importance: Grand Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (GCFR) Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON) Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (CFR) Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic (OFR) Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR) Member of the Order of the Niger (MON) Over the years, it has become norm to automatically confer top honors (GCFR, GCON, CFR and CON) to equally top nationa...

The Chief Priest, at the directive of the Great 9ja's Oracle, has decided to do more than  'just talk' on the sack of non-indigenes by the Abia State Government (Please refer to 'The vision about a Wolf leading a herd of Elephants' for details on this issue) The Chief Priest is writing letters to the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC); The National Assembly and the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.  As kinsmen, the Chief Priest is inviting YOU to air your views as to why the Abia State Government must rescind the sack; if you also think it was a wise decision on their part, give reasons. Your opinions would go a long way to ensuring that the letters contain valid points. Let your friends know! Drop a comment! Let's help the Oracle help Nigerians! The Oracle Has Spoken!!

If this isn't a vision; then I wonder what is! It happened suddenly just as I was eating my Eba and Egusi soup...I felt a gentle breeze hit my entire being...and in some form of levitation; I left my house with a ball of Eba still in my palm! Kai! The travails of being a Chief Priest...I just hope this doesn't happen on a lovely night with my wife. In about 5 minutes I was soaring, without wings, held by an invisible hand, above a large expanse of land filled with different groups of animals; each group with its own ilk; everything seemed at peace. Suddenly there was commotion...On looking closely; I discovered that a herd of elephants were at the heart of the unrest. I became interested in finding out the root cause of it all. It was then I noticed that the 'outgoing' leader of the herd wanted to crown a 'Wolf' his successor against the will and culture of the elephants. There was a lot of agitation, and this drew the attention of other animal grou...
