The Presidency of any Nation determines the course
of such society; hence, Wisdom is essential to leadership. A particular
dimension of Wisdom apparently unknown to the Nigerian political leadership is
the way of understanding and utilising the spirituality and power of iconic art
forms that may come in literary, sculpture, or other art craft models through
adoption of functional and regenerative metaphysical and aesthetic
intelligence. A principal art form of particular reference in this piece is the
Nigerian Coat of Arms and its connection with the ‘proposed’ and ‘adopted’
Bayelsan Coats of Arms.
When these iconic art forms are not understood, the
human consciousness in material creation may be subjected to the directions of
lower astral ambience. Hence, the mental state of human consciousness, which is
higher than the astral, is subjected to leadership of the lower astral ambience
and man is cut off from the purity in the plane of spiritual ambience of God
through the sub-conscious bridge. Consequently, there is a reversal of roles in
the directions of the power of thought and will. The place of God is given unto
astral forces which are lesser than man. Due to the subjection of human mental
ambience, there is bound to be a problem of bankruptcy in reasoning,
consequently raising issues of ethical concerns in the course of statecraft.
Human behavioral patterns would expectedly reflect instincts of lower animals.
Hence, in socio-political philosophic theory, the organised human society finds
a befitting definition according to Thomas Hobbes’ State of Nature.
By 2008, in the course of a private study of the
evolution of the Nigerian Coat of Arms in direct relations to the course of
social-political and economic evolution of Nigeria, I discovered that the
Nigerian Presidency was operating under a degenerative spell emanating from the
Coat of Arms—particularly from its Northern space. It was then presumed that
the adoption of the Coat of Arms in 1975 was a ‘State suicide’ which shut the
doors of Nigerian presidency against good leadership.
The suicide was deemed to
be the correct astral foundational root cause of majority of Nigeria’s current
problems that God had revealed to some churches but which their leaders did not
understand and erringly arrived at the disastrous conclusion that God was
referring to FESTAC 77. What is more, it was presumed that even in the event of
ascension of a good leader by chance to the Presidential throne, such leader
will not last long in the position. Presently, the problems of the Presidency
has increased by the influence of the adopted Bayelsan Coat of Arms in
association with one of the proposed versions which was also briefly used by
some Bayelsa State on-line outfit as the Coat of Arms. This version operates in
stronger cosmic dimensions by virtue of the replication of the Red Eagle from
National Coat of Arms on its apex.
To validate propositions made so far, I shall state
reality incidents of Nigeria’s evolving but mutable metaphysical history, from
the ‘death of Yar Adua’ to the ‘enthronement of Goodluck Jonathan’ and the
‘death vibrations threatening the current first lady’, the ‘death of Kaduna
State Governor’, the ‘permeating of international cosmos of nations through the
British cosmic lot’, and the ‘potential martial cataclysm by the evolutionary
ghostly clash of talons and the water beast’.
At this moment in time and history, the Red Eagle on
the Nigerian Coat of Arms spells doom for the entire country. However, the
worst doom is spelt for the North to which it has attracted ‘self destruction’.
In order to properly lay a foundation for the proposition of evolutionary
danger and the Red Eagle nature, it is necessary that I refer to a write-up by
the present author, titled ‘An Artistic Analysis of the Nigerian Coat of Arms’,
which was published by The Nation News paper on July 2, 2007. In the write-up,
the author made preliminary historical interpretations devoid of deep
metaphysical considerations of, and reference to, inherent futuristic
prognosis.
Summarily, of the eagle, I wrote that “it is a
mythological bird that symbolises the sun and regenerates its energy from it
through a fasting-ritual in which the eagle focuses on the sun…The sun rises in
the East and sets in the West. However, the Nigerian eagle, in a fixed state, faces
the West where the sun sets…Worse still, it is colored red…In esoteric science,
the West hemisphere is the abode of water. Naturally, eagles’ motion towards
that aquatic direction is for food. It is readable from this perspective that
the will to power and leadership in Nigeria is governed by the appetite and
vices of lower self. This is a formidable astral foundation of rabid greed and
corruption in Nigeria”. The eagle positioning was also noted to be the
“determinant of Northern educational incapacity, symbolic curse and cause of
extreme poverty…”
The down-south does not have any animal symbolic
representation like the North (Eagle), East (Horse) and West (Horse). The
down-south, determined by the wreath, is like a non-entity and imaginary beast
of burden on which the East, West, and Northern structures rely on for
subsistence. Unfortunately, by the 21st century astral evolution of the Red
Eagle, a deathly art spell is evoked from the Northern cosmos upon the destiny
of all other cardinal zones of Nigeria.
The anti-intellectual eagle positioning sets the
course of a cosmic curse of degenerative witchcraft and glories’ destruction
upon the land. The error of mystic art has transformed the Eagle into its
opposite: the Vulture. What is consequently attracted to the Nigerian
presidential space and social space (in secular, economic and spiritual
activities) is the manifestation of the spiritual culture of the Vulture (Eye
Igun) which thrives on deadness and exudes stench and filth magnetism. These
are translatable to mean a mutable predestined degenerative social, religious,
political, economic intelligence.
The northern decline and Yar’adua’s death
The Red Eagle’s decline from its cosmic plunge in
1999 physically translates into a terminal decline of Northern Nigeria. The
region began its journey down the abyss from year 2000 without any hope of
recovery so long as the Nigerian Coat of Arms is in force. There are worse
indicators for the Northern destiny in the 21st century through renewals of
nature cycles at periodic crossovers that spell doom for Nigeria. Presidency
headed by a Northerner ceased by May 29, 1999, during the closing periods of
Nigeria’s 38th year of self rule. By October 1, 2000, which is the beginning of
the 4th decade of self governance, the presidency was headed by a
South-Westerner, Rt. General Olusegun Obasanjo. In 2007, he handed over to a
Northerner.
By 2009, a Northern President faced serious health
crisis that was attracted to his spirit by the etheric vibrations of the Coat
of Arms. By the cosmic evolution of the Eagle’s fate from the vibrations of
Nigerian Coat of Arms, it was determined that the late President Yar’Adua was
never going to survive the luminous evolution of 2009 which was to complete the
prism of 2000 and 2009—both being the first complete set of foundational
luminous prisms for the 21st century human existence.
The millennium began in
1999, and not 2000, on a count of 1. 1999 is 1+9+9+9=28 that transforms to
2+8=10; i.e., 1+0=1. Automatically, the proceeding number from 1 is 2; hence,
the proceeding year from 1999/1 is Year 2000/2. 2+0+0+0=2. A symbolism of 2,
from the Jewish mystical tradition, is of illumination as the biblical theme of
divine act of creation where Jehovah or Jah commanded that ‘let there be
light’. The more intense of these luminous numbers was bound to manifest in
2009; i.e., 2+0+0+9=11. 11 transforms to 2 as 1+1.
In this period, the intensity of cosmic light was
bound to dominate the space of leadership, and every spiritual art directing
national fate but which is creatively inclined to darkness will be drained of
energy and vanquished. The presumed physical evolution of this cosmic agenda
was expected to manifest in the form of an emaciated cadaverous being in prism
with the Northern Iconic eagle.
The eagle had no immunity against the intensity of
cosmic light, being unknown to the cosmic sun rising from the East. In the
intensely luminous year 2009, when the sun ran its course and peaked in the
North before journeying to set in the West, it was expected that the eagle’s
head will be scorched and its crown dissolved.
The peaking point of luminous year 2009 was the
eleventh month of November. Doom of the living principal Northern Icon was
sealed at the closure of the evolutionary triangle of cosmic illumination in
the following evolutionary order of days: Wednesday, November 11, 2009; Friday,
November 20, 2009; Sunday, November 29, 2009. The numerological order of this
sequence is 33, 42 and 51 derived from the calculation of 11 (number of
November) + 11 (of the day) + 11 (of year 2+0+0+9), 11 (number of November) +
20 (of the day 2+0) + 11 (of year 2+0+0+9), and 11 (number of November) + 29
(of the day 2+9) + 11 (of year 2+0+0+9). All these numbers, digit summed in
numerology, revolve to figure 6, the number of the Sun and intensely expressive
illumination.
In Yoruba cosmology derivable from the Odu-Ifa
mythology, Wednesday, Ojoru, is a day in which all evils berthed on earth, and
on which those who perform the necessary sacrifices are expected to avoid the
evils. In the utilitarian philosophic sense, sacrifice here is really not the
material sacrifice of anthropological interpretations of traditional religious
culture, but of the essences propounded in the fourth noble truth of Buddhist
philosophical tradition which enunciates an eightfold path to peace which are
as follows: Right mindedness, right concentration, right intention, right
action, right livelihood, right effort, right speech, right views.
In the spirituality of days in Ifa tradition,
Friday, called Ojo Eti, is the day of evolution of trouble and spiritual siege.
Sunday, Ojo Aiku, is the day of immortality. Of the aforementioned triangle, at
the time of manifestation of Orunmila (that is, Open-Heavens of Fate), the
first determination was the evil day (Wednesday) by agreement of emanations
from Nigerian Coat of Arms which operate in the form of what the Yoruba call
aba, i.e, wishful decree to the powers of Heaven. Instead of experiencing the
good fortune of number 33—a master number vibration of healing derivable from
the Sun, the Presidency Icon was exposed to a manifestation of terminal
infirmity by aarun ojise iku (spirit of disease, the messenger of death). In
cosmic evolution, at the formation of the first point of the triangular base in
the Eastern cosmic space on Friday, 2oth of November, the Presidential Icon
came under the full spiritual siege of terminal infirmity. At the triangle
closure in the Western cosmic space by Sunday, November 29, 2009, the advantage
of immortality was non-existent, and the Presidential Icon’s mortality by
terminal infirmity was sealed at sunset.
The metaphysical abstraction stated posits that the
cosmos of nature as determined by the Coat of Arms never favored a Northern
leadership in Nigeria, even though the cosmic evolution of the effect of the
said Coat of Arms placed a Northerner on the Presidential seat—to face a
ruthless and invincible cosmic revolt and opposition. The natural revolt was
expected to be most intense if the Northern Presidency emanated from the 90
degrees range of the Northwest direction where the eagle faces, and which also
represents the crown of the head. Incidentally, the degree range is the space
occupied by the State of Katsina (which was Yar Adua’s state of Origin) on the
Nigerian map. The scorching effect of the sun drained up the water contents of
the eagle like it will drain water completely from earth devoid of spring, thus
creating the emaciated cadaverous image (i.e., extremely thin and pale). In reality,
this manifested physically in the fate of late President Yar’Adua in the year
2009.
The Northern decline and Jonathan’s ascension
The Northern decline began at the turn of the
century and millennium. Turn of every millennium is an indicator of cosmic re-arrangement
and crossover. It is a potential cause of the rise and fall of civilizations
and empires largely determined by the influence of civic icons. As for Nigeria,
although the Red Eagle and Horses on the Coat of Arms still appear to be in a
fixed state, in metaphysical evolution and history, at the turn of the century
and millennium in 1999, all these astral images naturally repositioned in a
state of rest and chaos.
The horses have since let go of the shield that
elevates the distressed eagle which has since crashed with the shield and is
buried in the devastation of Nigeria’s cosmic earth and waters through the
wreath space, leaving its evil ghost to haunt the Presidency. In the plunge,
the eagle drew upon itself and the South-South destination some elements of the
treacherous spirit of the Horse (which, by vibrations of Odu-Ifa Obara Owonrin,
is imported into the sub-consciousness of Eastern and Western Nigerian
political class the spirit of treachery—in view of contest, akin to the Ifa
legend in which the horse entered into a conspiracy to kill the beautiful deer
before a scheduled dance contest in which the deer was favorite). Most
unfortunately for the Red Eagle, it was without energy to flee from the
cataclysm unlike the Horses which experience some cosmic earth-slide and
struggle to find their feet on natural cosmic earth.
By the millennial turn that caused the Horses to let
go of the shield on which the eagle perched uncomfortably on a wavy band, the
Red Eagle’s plunge headed towards the down-south direction of the Nigerian Coat
of Arms. The plunge created a vacuum in the cosmic space of leadership and
terminated the Eagle’s ill cosmic fortune in the national space of subconscious
direction. As a rule of causal science, nature abhors vacuum, and therefore,
there was bound to be a cosmic exchange of position. In the Eagle’s down-south
plunge through the wreath, advantages of leadership position and the cosmic
fortune which crowned the North spattered over the Down-South of the Coat of
Arms, bringing a burden of crisis upon the space of the Down South axis where
the fortune roosts to fill the empty space of national leadership. A physical
manifestation of this metaphysical historical evolution is the ascension of
President Goodluck Jonathan, of the Down-South axis of the Coat of Arms, to the
position of Nigeria’s Head of State.
Bayelsa’s inheritance of the Northern death spell
By the creation of the proposed Coat of Arms for
Bayelsa, the principal evil immediately incarnated from the Nigerian Coat of
Arms Red Eagle into the Bayelsan and National space was the death spell which
overcame late president Yar’Adua and which still saturates the Northern space
in a different dimension. It was expected by presumption that the spell of
death was predestined to primarily haunt Mr. President’s space by incarnation,
which means that death will occur within it, but the manner and targets cannot
be precisely predicted, just as the Presidents’ space may refer to those
directly connected to him. His wife was expected to be the first target of the
vibration of death emanating from the eagle, because she is a principal officer
in the government of Bayelsa State (as Permanent Secretary) and co sharer of
the National Coat of Arms seal as the first lady by virtue of office. By this,
she takes precedence over the President and the Governor in death choice; for,
like a maxim in the law of equity posits: “when two equities are equal, the
first in time prevails”.
Dame Patience Jonathan was reported very ill around
the time of the inauguration of the Bayelsan Coat of Arms, but she escaped
death by whiskers. Somehow, the death which lurked around Mr. President’s space
however struck against his brother on Mr. President’s 55th birthday in November
2012. A coincidence it may seem to be, but the order of astral program of
peculiar arts emanating powerful ether vibrations will always run its course.
Assuming the first lady of Nigeria was not a part of the Bayelsa State
Government, the death would expectedly have manifested in the space of the
State Governor without any hope of an escape. Having roosted on the Mr.
President’s brother, it was presumed in prognosis that the death had concluded
its first dimensional manifestation in the Presidential space, and that the
next space of manifestation was expected to be that of the co-sharer of the
Nigerian Coat of Arms seal in the hierarchy of government, i.e., the Vice
Presidential space.
Perhaps the Vice President’s wife does not have an
official position in the government of her husband’s state of origin,
therefore, the equity rule is presumably not expected to arise, and the deathly
vibration of the eagle emanating from the Bayelsan contaminated space was
speculatively expected to manifest against the Governor of the Vice President’s
State of origin, i.e., Kaduna State. It was not precisely known how this was to
manifest, but could be traced to any other astral icon on the proposed Bayelsan
Coat of Arms. It was presumed that the deathly essence of the Red Eagle on the
proposed version seals the deathly art vibrations of the unintelligent image of
the ‘fishes out of water’. The two fishes are identified as shark and dolphin.
Dolphins are aquatic icons of military intelligence—of Naval Command in
particular.
The configuration is very bad for the Nigerian Navy and this is
most probably the metaphysical historical cause of the death of a former Kaduna
State Governor, Patrick Yakowa, in a Nigerian Navy helicopter crash in Bayelsan
territory.
The worst imaginable situation may be sealed in
Nigeria by month of November of the expressively luminous year 2013, (2+0+1+3 =
6), on the normalcy platform of a cosmic triangle beginning from Thursday,
November 7 through Saturday November 16 and Monday, November 25. Thursday, in
the cosmic essence of days derivable from Odu-Ifa, is a new beginning of cosmic
course when Sun returns to its normal course.
It is within the powers of
Governments to check the art forces unsuspectingly dealing devastating blows on
Nigeria’s fate. To save Nigerian Presidency (as an office and institution) now
and in the future, irrespective of which geo-political zone or political party
occupies the position of Head of State, the National Coat of Arms (alongside
the first Stanza of the National anthem and the pledge) must cease to exist by
the force of legislation. Reasons stated are the most easily explainable so far
for public knowledge. The Nigerian Coat of Arms is a common enemy to every
Nigerian and the world. In its potential to permeate the global space, the gate
of evil cosmic influence will be open through Nigeria’s mother—Britain. As a
rule of practical metaphysical science, it is much easier to effect good
changes from the astral plane in physical existence than using all the forces
in the world to put things right on earth. It is written in Ecclesiastes 10
verse 10 that ‘Wisdom is profitable to direct’.
Every nation has a right to adopt a Coat of Arms. In
doing so, there must be an understanding of what it is. A Coat of Arms is an
armorial achievement or bearing. Its use by countries is known as civic
heraldry. It originates from European culture and is a symbolic code and sign
post of family or fraternal history and aspirations. Its use in Nigeria
constitutes an improper and miscalculated adoption of foreign culture, thus
constituting a colossal cultural and spiritual catastrophe. In Nigeria, it is
the seal of the Head of State and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and
the Vice President in both the Military and Civilian regimes of government. As
a matter of necessity, it is also used by the Executive, Legislative, and
Judicial arms of government. It is the principal astral base of evolutions of
indigenous cultures and national will.
