This story won’t be all about the man mentioned above. Rather, l have only chosen to leverage on the incident to bring something to bear. To drop something on the table. And l wish you follow me closely. Welcome.
His real name is Chinedu Nwangwu. A billionaire native doctor from Oba, in ldemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
As a well known Native Doctor with fat pocket , he chose to go by the name, “akwa okuku tiwara aki”. Which, when translated, means, ” an egg that breaks Palm nut”. Perhaps, to intimidate people or to create a threatening or fearsome impression about himself and what he could do .
ln lgboland and even elsewhere, the popular belief is that, it’s not possible or easy for an egg to break Palm nut. Quote impossible. Reason being that, an egg is naturally very fragile. And palm nut is very strong that only hammer or big stone can break it. Those of us who grew up in the villages or rural areas would understand better . Who had used palm nuts to drink garri or chew corn. That was the name, the native doctor under scrutiny gave to himself. He decided to answer. To show or dramatize how powerful he has been or how “powerful” his charms could be.
All these gimmicks worked extensively and excessively for the man. Billionaires and millionaires alike had patronized him in their large number. Resulting also in his becoming an acknowledged or well known billionaire.
lnfact, his shrine had literarily become ” mecca” for rich people in need or want of charms for protection or for some other reasons. “Pilgrims” who needed jazz or charms for reasons best known to them.
At a time, he had openly boasted that he would use his jazz to disarm whoever that would want to shoot him. To show what he had imagined he was capable of doing with his charms.
He became a frontrow billionaire. A known billionaire. Having choice cars , hotels, choice properties in Anambra and other places. ln other words, he became a highly successful native doctor. Giving insight into the level of patronage he had gotten before now. And indeed, the calibre or quality of those who had patronized him. Showing that he wasn’t there for those who came for charms or jazz for “achaere” or boils or malaria or typhoid. But for those who came for “odieshi” charms and perhaps, for money making or money manufacturing charms and so on.
But have you read or heard about the big story?. At night, on Sunday , July 23, 2023, kidnappers stormed the man’s hotel, Triple P hotel, being one of the three hotels he built at Oba and kidnapped him. Abducted him. And took him away.
ln the process of his abduction, two of his aides were killed by the kidnappers before being taken away by his uninvited visitors, to unknown destination. And at the time of writing this, he has been held for two days by the “invaders”. The jazz he had openly boasted of, could not disarm his abductors. Could not stop the killing of his two aides. Could not stop his being taken away. Or, even make the vehicle with which he was taken away to develop fault or fail to move. No response of any kind or magnitude from his side.
I hasten to allude inter alia; That, the kidnappers didn’t do well by kidnapping the man . They should not have kidnapped a man like that just for ransom. That’s ungodly. And highly condemnable.
My prayer and perhaps, the prayer of all men and women of meek dispositions is that, GOD would protect him and deliver him from the hands of the kidnappers. Let him come out alive and unharmed .
But a lot of lessons are embedded in this ugly incident. Memory verses. And that’s my interest, both simple and compound.
That is to say , the man has been eating his victims mugu. Another mega version of Yahoo Yahoo or 419. He has been tricking people with non existent jazz with power to do strange or awkward or extraordinary things. For certain overtures. And he had made billions from all that.
Those who doubted or still doubt the biblical story of Saul, who later became Paul and ended up becoming one of the greatest apostles the bible recorded could now believe that story, with the “akwa okuku tiwara aki” kidnap incident. Although with slight difference. One, struck with blindness and another, being kidnapped.
It’s now further proved beyond every shadow of doubt that, GOD’S POWER REMAINS THE ULTIMATE POWER”. And every other power outside this power of God is a make-belief or smokescreen. Just mere sinking sand. Abracadabra. Kposhi kposhi. The more you look, the more you do not see anything to believe or to behold.
Protection is in the hand of God . Or, is of God. Safety is in the hand of God. Or, is of God. If you are still in doubt, go and ask akwa okuku tiwara aki. He would be in a better position to tell you.
l won’t also be shocked if at the end of the day, the man would denounce all his past tricks and also becomes a preacher of the gospel. Telling people that the power of God is the correct power. The main “egg” that breaks Palm nut.
All those holding his jazz or charm for one reason or the other, would begin to see the extent of their foolishness or stupidity. They would begin to see that they have been alive or still living by the GRACE OF GOD and not by the jazz given to them by the ldemili man. They would begin to realize that they had spent their millions wrongly and for the wrong reasons.
By now, some of those who had patronized the man must have thrown away all the rubbish he gave to them. And would have regretted all the time and money spent. Some of them must have also brought human beings for rituals or sacrifices by akwa okuku tiwara aki. And all have ended becoming balderdash.
Bunkums. Of no effect. Neither here nor there.
To subdue his victims psychologically, he must have asked some of them to be naked and perhaps bath with pond water or human urine and they did, all in an effort to acquire power or jazz from a man who was just defrauding them.
In the den of his abductors, his conscience must have been telling him the extent he had defrauded people with his deceit. The extent he has also been exposed or disgraced. Even, after he must have been released by his attackers, some of those who had paid largely for one jazz or the other, might be coming for refund. And he would discover that there is no peace for the wicked.
Aside this particular case, it’s also a valid information or a revelation for those holding all kinds of jazz or charms from other sources, to know that what they have been holding has no life in it and can’t act. The height of deceit by their fellow human beings. And if they desire or want to be on the right path , they would do themselves great favour by throwing the rubbish or ” rubbishes” away. And begin to look upto God for divine protection or safety. For the real odieshi. Not groundnut oil mixed with Aboki perfume.
If God can’t protect you, no one else can do so. He owns the life we live or enjoy. And he would guide or guard it till the day is done. There is no point looking for protection where there is none. ln jazz or in whatever other name it might be called.
Man-made protection devices would remain very defective. Even police dogs. Events have shown that moving with bulletproof cars or vests does not guarantee protection or safety. Moving with lorry load of armed security personnel does not also guarantee anything. An egg that breaks Palm nut or akwa okuku tiwara aki has given much credence to this fact. That, there is no protection or safety outside GOD.
Those who had joined one ocultic group or the other, to secure or safeguard life or some other reasons in the 60s or 70s and so on, how many of them are still alive today?. Most of them must have gone . Must have left this World. Showing that they had wasted their times and money in doing that. Enrolling as members of the ocultic groups. lgnorance made available. lgnorance at its peak. The story won’t be different for those in such groups today .
After this ldemili man’s incident , any man or woman still keeping jazz or charm for any reason deserves to be pitied. Deserves sympathy. The person should not wait to be told to throw that nonsense away.
David said in the book of Psalms 76: 6, ” at thy rebuke, O GOD of Jacob , both the Chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep”. Do you understand? . SIMPLICITA.
Chapter 60: 11, says , ” Give us help from trouble, for vain is the help of man”. Vain is the help of akwa okuku tiwara aki.
God announced that every power in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus. The custodian of the divine power of God. And those who believe in him, are also authorized to use this unimaginable power. This ultimate power .You do not need to go to akwa okuku tiwara aki for power. The main power is at your door step once you subscribe into the name of Jesus. The only name that could scare kidnappers. l tell you. You do not need to tie it on your waist or neck like they tie jazz or charms . The power of God is in you and in me . ln your spirit. ln your tongue. ln my spirit. ln my tongue and so on. When you speak , you release power. Results oriented power. Not kposhi kposhi. Okirika-wake-up power. Aba na anya power.
Akwa okuku tiwara aki, your abductors would release you unhurt. But your kidnap has strengthened the fact that you have all these while hoodwinking people, promising to give them power you didn’t have or you’re not capable of giving. Your incident has strengthened the fact that, the power of life and death, or for protection or safety is of God. Not of any man.
To the GLORY OF GOD, we shall continue to clap for Jesus.
