My Encounter with Njaba Goddess and Others

I am from Ibele autonomous community in Njaba Local Government Area in Imo State. My community is popularly known as the abode of Njaba goddess. The Njaba shrine is located at the Ibele market square while its traditional staff of authority is held by the people of Umunele community. In a certain time in history, Ibele, Umuele, Amakor and Obeakpu amalgamated as one community called “Amazano” meaning “Four compounds of Ozo title taking”. Culturally, the constituting communities of Amazano were distinct villages that operated independently before the amalgamation. Ibele community had the history of having the first Nze title holder being Nze Duruodo who begath all villages that currently composed into Ndiokwu and Nduihu clans. The Njaba shrine was erected at Ibele land while its staff was possessed by people of Umuele. This was because of the fact that the goddess drew its name from Njaba river and the river did not pass across Ibele community as it did at Umuele, Amakor and Obeakpu. As a spiritual person in Ibele, I had various contests or encounter with the Njaba goddess. There is Njaba-Ulu as a national goddess of the ancient Ibele. In my present village-Eloka, there is Njaba Otura that was brought to the village by our mother Okitiri who was one of the wives of Nze Duruodu. Also, the Odu Duruoda migrated into the Eloka village making the house to own two strong opposing staff. When a person is possessed by the spirit of Odu, he will face the attacks from the spirits attached to Njaba and if the person been possessed by the Njaba, he will have the spirit of pure Odu to contend. This scenario makes it very difficult for the bearers of the staff because both staff falls into one hand. As a member of the first compound in Eloka, we are all involved in the contest between both spiritual powers. For me, I fall within the stock that are favored by Odu Duruodu which is a natural or divine staff that made up its way into the community. This made me to be an object of attack from earthbound spirits that are tied to Njaba goddess. From my childhood days, I was frequently attacked and spiritualists pointed fingers at Njaba as being responsible. Njaba goddess is a blood sucking deity, the result of her evil operations are open in my compound as many people have died through vehicle accidents. My biological father Late Chief Sylvester Madu Okoh died on a motor accident at the Owerre-Onitsha road Njaba bridge in 1975, and many others followed suit. The most painful of the accident was that involving Late Master Joseph Duru serving at Nigeria security officer at Owerre government house in 1993. When it was time for me to answer my call in the house of Yahweh, I was visited by mysterious ailments. As I sought for remedy, I was introduced to a person I took as a herbalist and later unfolded as a spiritualist attached to the Njaba goddess. Instead of applying herbs to my ailment, he introduced me into having covenant with Njaba goddess. By this development I was introduced to series of ritual sacrifices at the Njaba river. I was made to appear naked before the river and to swear oath of secrecy to worship Njaba goddess. In the oath, I was made to swear that in an event I abandon Njaba goddess, that I will walk stack naked on the streets mad as I appear naked in the river bank. At the initiation rite, a certain object was aroused in the middle of the river and I was directed by the spiritualists to focus on the object while swearing the oath. The secret name of the Njaba goddess was introduced to one as the “Queen of the Ghost” and her secret number introduced to me as “777”. I was warned that in any moment I reveal this name to anyone, I will run mad and walk naked on the streets. After this initiation that took place in the middle of the night, I was made to undergo many other ritual sacrifices that will usher wealth and prosperity to me. I became disenchanted when I was directed by the spiritualist to provide human’s body parts for what he called “the last sacrifice” I rejected and refused to comply with the request. The spiritualist vowed that I must experiment the wrath of Njaba goddess. The pronouncement of the spiritualist was never mere threat as I witness greater deterioration of my health and business downfall. All friends, relations and customers abandoned me. This world of spiritual contest continued until I received a voice calling on me to look for the “people of Yahweh” for remedy. I strictly obeyed the voice. I searched for people of Yahweh with trials, persecutions and threats of death. All of my relations abandoned me and life became hazard for me. When I finally found Yahweh, it was terrible. On my first Sabbath worship at the Holy Assemblies of Yahoshea Meshiyach in Port Harcourt, I beheld wonders of my life. The founder of the ministry claimed to be the Yahweh sent Comforter of mankind. Without knowing from me, he opened up the mystery of “Harlot of Babylon” that he relate as the initial root of all feminine spirits on earth. His preaching sent a signal to me that the Prophet Yahmarabhi is a true seer who knew me from afar. By his teachings, I came to know the real problem of mankind in relationship to goddesses. It all started from Semiramis of Babylon (Harlot of Babylon) that was deitified as the Queen mother of the world. I came to the realization that the river of goddess worship in the world flow all over the earth and being associated with river worship. What we know as Njaba goddess was nothing but a “kindred of earthbound spirits” that operate around the river of Njaba as known to the people of Igbo land. It can be identified as territorial spirits that operates within or around the Njaba area. There is no particular spirit called Njaba but it is a kindred of many spirits that exists from various ages and reincarnates to earth as at when due. Other dead persons that in one way or the other that served the mother goddess will end up at the kindred in what Prophet Yahmarabhi termed as “earthbound spirit kingdoms”. These kingdoms exists in almost human communities. Some of the kingdoms are evil and demands for human sacrifice while some are more peaceful and even supports human developments. The Prophet grouped the earthbound spirits into three dimensions or heavens in which each of the dimension is composed of millions of sub dimensions that are composed of spirits of related behaviors. Njaba goddess is kindred of wicked earthbound spirits that demands for human sacrifices. People have often asked, what do spirits do with human blood? The answer is easy, the earthbound spirits are dismembered persons who were unable to meet up the score point required by Yahweh for entrance into his peaceful kingdom. The failed persons form the bulk of earthbound spirits and are confided in various kindred that compose into a heaven or dimension. When there were no road accidents, people easily got drown in the Njaba river. Now that people do not visit the river often, it turned into motor accident that claim lives. Presently, people ignorantly worship feminine deities in churches and local shrines. The foundation of Christianity is rooted in feminism. So to Hinduism and Buddhism. Besides that, many acclaimed preachers or miracle workers visit the Njaba spiritualists, initiate into the Njaba goddess or its types and acquire their power for miracles and wonders. Many popular industrialists and commercialists visit the necromancers for acquisition of prosperity and fame. When I was with the Njaba agent, he boasted that if I eventually agree to the dubious demands that I should write out seven names of wealthiest persons in my area of market; for him to pull them down and place me ahead of them. He directed that If I meet up with the demand, I will have many ware houses and strong business networks around the world and most importantly, I will institute a football competition outfit where I will donate a huge amount of money; so that as people patronize the game, I will be growing in wealth. I know that people need quick money and love such offer, but wholly I rejected them rather did the spiritual combat with the so called Njaba goddess and so many others. Also, I have been at contest with Ogwugwu Okija and pronounced of its disgrace and it occurred as the federal government in the same period went to the shrine, cleared the forest and arrested its servants. This happened because a certain lady known to me went to seek for vengeance from the Okija shrine over her disappointed husband. As her husband that she built to manhood forced her out of her marriage, she bitterly went so the shrine and invoke the spirit to go after him or whosoever that impound her properties. After this ugly act, she begged me to help her to keep custody of her remnant properties that her husband left for her. Those properties were mainly women clothes. My wife unknowingly made use of one of the clothes. This prompted the goddess to come after my wife. My wife fell mysteriously and in a dream, he was shown that the owner of the property came after her with group of masquerades. When I heard of the dream, I concluded that was spirits from Ogwugwu. I went to my assembly, prayed and pronounced that the deity must be stripped naked and humiliated. In the same week, there was an ensued disagreement between the oracle managers and the government that resulted to invasion of the oracle by Nigeria Police Force. This happened fast because the lady was given one month after her consultation to the oracle to go back to the shrine for cleansing. But, behold, before the expiration of the one month, the oracle has been cleared by the Police. Likewise, another oracle called Iyiafor Amakor suffered the same fate in my hand. When my wife boasted that she is a daughter of Iyiafor, I pronounced that Iyiafor must be cleared, stripped naked and its servants disgraced. In the same month, the youths of Amakor went after the oracle and its servants. The youths cleared the oracle and moved to the houses of its servants and molested them. In conclusion, Njaba goddess like its types all over the world is a center where men look for unmerited favour, wealth and prosperity. The goddess right from its ancient of days requires human sacrifices and as when it can’t receive it officially, it will take a soul through drowning or any form of accidents. The remedy to the problem is for the people to know Yahweh through his begotten son Yahoshea Meshiyach. The church turned these holy names into local or idol names that are not effective to cast out the earthbound spirit when they are on operation. The earthbound spirits are behind the changes of the holy name Yahweh and Yahoshea to things different so that they will not be disturbed when in their operations. Call the name YAHWEH and YAHOSHEA or YAHMARABHI whenever you are attacked by any deity and see how powerful and victorious you will be. Pray with these names right from your morning devotion or for any movement even when in a vehicle. This is a part of lectures of Prophet Yahmarabhi regarding the feminine worships. (44) In Noah’s era, people worshiped great mother Goddess, and the pagan worship was carried over to many countries in the ancient time. (45) Yes, most of the ancient cultures such as Sumerians, Semi……. Asyrians, the Babylonians, the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans also worshiped the great mother, son and the father. (46) In parts of Nigera it is known as Imbudu, male, female and son in the hands of the mother. (47) At my place Ogbia it is called Odigiri-Ne mara. (48) Thus clay mud is used in making male and female statues. (49) In some cases, wood also is used (50) The child is mostly carried by the mother. (51) Thus the origin of this worship lies in antiquity. (52) Though the names and rituals varied, although she is still worshiped in nearly all the countries in the world. (53) This was the Sumerian God called Anu and his consort Inanna that developed into the worship of Jesus, Christ and the virgin Mary by the Greeks, that was brought into the church when the State and the Roman Catholic church came together. (54) Thus the Sumerians ruled the Tigris and the Eiphrates valley during the late Uruk period about 2,800 Before Yahoshea Meshiyach (BYM) (55) Thus temples existed in pairs suggestive of the worship of a divine couple. (56) The deity at Uruk was Innin also known as Inanna, which in Sumerian language means Lady of Heaven. (57) Thus since the Sumerian people depended upon crops as their chief occupation, they also worshiped fertility Gods. (58) Therefore the two fertility Gods of the Uruk era were Anu (male) and Inanna (female); (59) Anu represented the chief male component of the fertility culture; (60) And he was known as the king of Heaven and father of the Gods or King of Gods. (61) Thus he was believed to dwell in heaven and possessed unlimited power. (62) And Inanna, Anu’s daughter/spouse, possessed the title ‘Queen of Heaven’ (63) And was known as Goddess of Love. (64)An Akkadian ruler Sargon I conquered Suma and established Babylonian empire (65) Thus Inanna then became known as Ishtar. (66) Ishtar was known to the Canaanites as Ashtarte (67) And to the Abyssinians as Astar (68) But to the Assyrians it was known as Atar or Athar. (69) Ishtar also appeared under the names of Ashtoreth, Astarte, Mylitta, Cybele, Anaitis, Dindumeme, Aphrodite and Venus;(70) Yet her character remained the same. (71) The Hittites also highly honoured Ishatar. (72) And through the Hittites influence Kubaba-ishtar was introduced to Egypt, Syria, Lydia, Phrygia, through the Phraygrians Alydians she was introduced to Greece and then Rome, as the great mother goddess Cybele. (73) Thus the cult or the great mother in Egypt came under the name Isis. (74) Thus Isis was the wife of Osiris and the mother of Horus (75) The symbols of Isis were cow, moon and star. (76) Her worship expanded and without her, there was no resurrection, no mystery, and no hope of an after death. (77) Thus the conviction that it was possible for humans to gain immortality by eating the body and drinking the blood of a God, or mortal who had lived and died; (78) So the mortal might have everlasting life was one of the strong teachings of cults in ancient times; (79)And also they ate the flesh and drank the blood of Osiris, so that they can earn eternal life, for they lived in Osiris and Osiri lived in them. (80) Thus the drinking and eating of the flesh and blood of Osiris was common practice in Zeus Christor practice, whose names were Christianized to Jesus Christ when the state and church came together (81) Mark you, Osiris and Horus’ birthdays was also 25th of December as that of Tammuz; (82) And the Egyptians also celebrate their nativity of the Sun-God (Nimrod) on the same December 25th (83) Which they normally represent with a new born child. (84) At this celebration, the sun-worshipper would cry out: “the virgin has brought forth”. (85) The Greeks also worship Isis in their land; (87) But later they accepted Osiris and the name of Dionysus in their mystery cults and he became the universal savior-God and the prototype of Jesus Christ. (88) Brethren in Yahoshea, have you seen how this cult of worship was carried over from the ancient of time into the religion called Christianity? (89) As the symbol of Ishtar or Isis was a cow, her offsprings was a calf, cow (isis) called Horus, like Madonna and child. (90) Thus Horus and Osiris, was known as lamb, calf, small young animal. (91) Thus Horus and Osiris no wonder, this was where the Hebrews got the idea from Egypt and made a molten calf and worshiped when they didn’t see Moses for a long time in the wilderness.(92) Frankly speaking, till date you will see a statue of calf standing inside Jewish temples. It is true that the Hebrews carried Egyptians’ idol star of their God Remphan which figures the worship of Moloch and Chuun their images.(93) Thus they know it as the Star of their God. (94) This said star is presently known or called the Star of David, (95) But it is pure lies, David did not have any idol star of his own(96) David worshiped Yahweh alone. (97) So you will now know that one of the reasons most of the Hebrews died in the wilderness was because they carried Egyptian idols along with them. (98) Meaning they carried Yahweh at their left hands and carried the idols of Egypt at their right hands. (99) Tell me why such people should live? (100) Like Christians of our day, worshiping on Sunday the day pagans worship their sun-God. (101) That is why it is said that the Romans adopted the entire Greek puntheon intact. (102) But only gave its new members new names; (103) For a case in point, Ishtar appeared in Rome under the name Cybele. (104) Thus the cults and temples of great Mother existed into what is called the Christian era. (105) Thus many temples were converted into churches of the Virgin (106) That was how the cult of Ishtar originated in Babylon with ‘a queen’ the Babylonians called Semiramis the mother and wife of the hero called Nimrod. (107) Thus Semiramis was the mother of the adulterous son named Tammuz, who was looked upon as the savior of the ancient world. (108) It is also interesting to know that the hero Nimrod who hunted human beings and wild animals was killed by a bear. (109) Semiramis was also killed ny wild bees when she was resting outside her palace. (110) And loyal members of her quickly rushed and buried her in one of the rooms of her palace as she had previously instructed them; (111) And circulated the pre-arranged story that Semiramis turned into a Dove and flew into the moon. (112) No wonder the Christians cooked up the theory of dove as the symbol of the holy ghost said to have rested on the head of Jesus Christ after his baptism in River Jordan. (113) So in the ancient world, Nimrod was God the Father, (114) Tammuz was God the son, and Semiramis was Goddess the Holy Ghost. (115) And the three were the Trinity that was worshiped (116) In Kalabari nation of the Rivers State of Nigeria, ‘Awomakaso…. Goddess is the chief Deity which is the same although in a different name. (117) So the theory of Nimrod, Tammuz and Semiramis being one was carried to Christendom of God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost being one. -Meshiyach Yahzitere Okoh
