By the tradition of Igbo people of West Africa; when a man dies intestate his assets and liabilities are transferred automatically to his first son (Opara); assuming the man left assets and liabilities.  Under English law, Opara becomes the administrator of his father's estate.

While disagreeing with my article titled;  Slavery and Colonialism: the purpose of Christianity , a commentator pointed out that ‘Christianity existed way before British/American slave owners used it for their own twisted advantages.’

Ikenga - Igbo Deity I was born into a Christian family (Methodist) while my secondary education was at a Methodist college.  As you can see, I was brought up as a Methodist. Though my father practised Christianity it was not the religion of his father.  My grandfather practised Ome N’ala Igbo (Igbo traditional religion). Then, why didn’t my father and his generation follow the religion of their fathers?  The answer is simply that the British colonialists asked them not to.  The British brainwashed them into believing that any religion other than Christianity was and is still – idol worshipping.

Uncle :  NZE! Happy Father’s Day in advance! Papa :  What does that mean? Uncle :  A day Christians set aside to celebrate fathers.

Son : Papa; the way by which you worship your God can only be characterised as idol worshipping. Papa : How do you think we worship Chineke? Son : You worship your God by bowing down to idols.

Uncle : Chief; are you in the house? Papa : Please don't call me Chief. I am NZE .  Uncle : Oh! I thought they both mean title holders?

PAPA : So what did Paul teach the Greeks about God that they didn’t already know? UNCLE : Please ask our Born Again, the Pastor, and the General Overseer…

SON : Papa; you know that I love you very much. You have done so much for me in this life that I will forever remain grateful. But there is one final favour that I need from you.

Soon after the Ethiopian airlines crash, The Ethiopian and so many other world’s airlines grounded their Boeing 737-MAX-8.

Once upon a time, there was a country that couldn’t feed its population, over a billion people. This country’s inhabitants were ingenious, waiting for the freedom to exhibit their creativity. But they couldn’t express themselves because of the type of government as well as the economic system they embraced. That country was China; the government and economic system were communist.
