    GET OFF THE BACKS OF MY CHILDREN: WILSON OMETAN WRITES

    BACK; SAYING OKPE CHILDREN ARE OF URHOBO ORIGIN AND

    HEREBY CALLS FOR URHOBO NEW HISTORIOGRAPHY

    By Wilson Ometan. B.A. Hons, (Dipl. IT) London

    31/03/08

    ADVICE TO THE READER: This article has 27 pages in length; the reader should

    take absolute patience to read this resource material. It should be read more than

    once to get the literal and cultural meanings attached to the names and storyline. I

    will welcome criticisms and questions from sane, reasonable, Inquiring and genuine

    minds to illuminate where necessary.

    This is a rejoinder to Reverend Dr. Charles E. Osumes attack on me for daring to say;in my article titled, The origin of Okpe Ethnic group controversy that Okpe people

    are Urhobo. I sympathize with Uncle Reverend Osumes position because he is

    caught between myth (Religion) and reality & his moral entrepreneurship is lost in his

    bent to remove Okpe from Urhobo, a decision informed by racism.

    This article is also an attempt to disabuse the minds of Urhobo people who think andbelieve that they are subservient to other tribes; for, lacking original history makes

    kings believe that they are inferior.

    It is true that if a people are unable to unearth their history; others will do it for them

    and this is why the oldest book of Esiri (Osiris), also known as book of Revelation,

    aptly revealed in chapter two verse nine, (Rev. 2:9) that those who call themselves

    Jews are not Jews. In the same vain; people who claim to be royals from the

    beginning of time, when properly investigated one can discover that they were not

    (Im not referring to Okpe here).

    The Urhobo of today; based on collective ignorance believe that they are a small

    ethnic group whose ancestors contributed little to the civilisation of the world and

    therefore thoughts are abound as conquered people in the small map of Nigeria. To

    the contrary. Urhobo history is what rules the world today to my surprise after

    research. Indeed Urhobo and Yoruba are the greatest tribes that brought civilisation to

    the world. This is the reality and no myth.

    It becomes injurious to hear that; some parts of Urhobo are bent on tarnishing her

    name in the mud in the fashion of her past conquerors as many nations have done to

    themselves.

    My grouse with the Okpe scholars have been the minimalist grouping of us (Okpe)

    under Benin of the seventeen century history and thereby advertising us short. The

    basing of our lineage ancestry of King Esezi of seventeen century is too modern and

    places us as new kingdom with no father hence I say now that the first Okpe king,

    known in history was the second king of ancient Egypt called MENA before the zero

    dynasty of 3150 BC, being the second king after Esiri (Greeks changed it to Osiris). A

    further investigation is needed to unravel this hidden and suppressed history. TheGreeks also changed Menas name to menes. I know these names to be Urhobo i.e.

    Esiri and Mena because of the antecedents of the culture of our people and their

    names stored in my genetic memory bank. When you consider the name Lemuria; a

    name when pronounced in Urhobo Nemuria, a serpent people of a dissolvedcivilisation, then you will agree with me that they are Urhobo people. For instance the

    image which symbolises this Nemuria Island is a snake (serpent) which looks at its

    tail when it makes a gesture to eat it (the tail). Literally; this is the movement of the

    sun which rises in the morning and dies in the evening, thereby forming a circle of the

    Zero, of which is the shape of the sun. The sun on its own is a nuclear reactor (See

    http://www.urhobo-world.organd click on ATUMU (ATOM: First to be: In Creation),

    ATAMU (Solidarity): MAKING SENSE OF URHOBO LANGUAGE IN ANCIENT

    EGYPT. This Island people where said to have annihilated themselves by an

    explosion or implosion in the distant past. The Niger Delta and some West African

    countries are a place where the serpent is worshipped till today. This is not all about

    witch-craft but the worship of the true God; a religion which had been suppressed,

    stolen and transformed to be Christianity and Islam today in the form of Ekpeti-Ra

    (petra) that is the rock of the church. I leave more of this to some other write-ups.

    In this order; there was Nemuria (Lemuria), Atlantis islands and Ancient Egypt

    civilisations. I found out that these civilisations had the culture of Urhobo and for

    lack of history (not lack of it) in Urhobo, we cannot move forward because there are

    no role models to emulate but mundane and forged historiography of others who are

    part of us. Where-as our ancestors have excelled and ruled the world before, some oftheir records were destroyed and others usurped to make way for emperors, empires,

    empirical data, Christianity and Islam. For instance; Esiris (Osiris, also known as

    Aesa, Assa, Asa, Esa etc.) and Urohs (Horus) characteristics were used for the

    invention of Christianity. Esiri married his Sister Isi (gene of Isi, Genesis), was killed

    by Seth his brother (Greek Typhon) because of jealousy. At the time of his death; he

    and Isi had no child but Isi who was a virgin made him impregnate her while dead by

    immaculate conception, and this is re-echoed in Christianity. Their offspring was

    named Uroh (Penis). A name that was changed to Horu and pluralized to Horus.

    Surprisingly; all the characteristics of Uroh was used for Jesus. Please see

    (http://www.urhobo-world.org/Nigerian(Igbo) priest and prophet in the Bible) for

    full details. And Uroh (Horus) was raised secretly in the marshes of the Nile Delta toprotect him from his evil uncle Seth (Historical deception: the untold story of

    Ancient Egypt, Moustafa Gadalla, p55, some are my emphassis). So was Jesus who

    was raised in hiding from King Herod. Indeed, the Greek number four alphabet is the

    triangle representing the Pyramid and the number 4 is known as Ene in Uvwie, an

    Urhobo ethnic group. Today, we still live in the Niger Delta away from the Delta of

    the Nile River with the Itsekiri who lived in Goshen of the Nile. Remember, Aesa or

    Esa is the Trinitiy and Divinity of Esiri, Horus and Isi which represents Esiri for root,Uroh in the middle and Isi for Head. Three Chakras. No coincidence please we built

    the Pyramids. Furthermore, Aesa (Esiri, Horus, Asa, Esa,) was resurrected as a soul to

    rule and judge in the nether land (ibid). The fact is, this same history can be seen in

    many books of Ancient Egypt about Esiris resurrection and judgement of the world.

    Besides, the Muslims know Jesus as Issa (Essa). But do we see anything like this in

    Christianity some six-ten thousand (6000-10.000) years after? Yes of course; this is

    where the fear of heavenly world is placed, Urhobo belief system. This reminds me of

    an utterance accredited to an Urhobo prolific writer & Author on a BBC TV

    programme where he is at sea with his own musing that he is unable to find his own

    tribal gods some four to five years ago. I was dumbfounded and scandalised. Urhobo

    gods are everywhere in their symbols.

    ANCIENT EGYPT (URHOBO) CREATION STORY OF THE UNIVERS

    Before proceeding to compare the so-called mythical creation stories by three ethnic

    groups of the World; I will like to say that, efforts had been made by Governments,

    tribes and Religions to distort, re-edit, copy and obfuscate the Egyptian history. In this

    case, Greece and the State of Israel stands out boldly as people who have usurped the

    Egyptian history. When I explain some of the god names of Ancient Egypt in the

    world creation story, you will be left with no doubt as to the origin and authenticity of

    these names. But nonetheless, these people should be commended for the translation

    from hieroglyphs to other languages and English for our eyes to see today though

    others tried to destroy all our history but never knew some facts will filter out one day

    to contradict their story line of the Bible.

    THE EGYPTIAN (URHOBO) VERSION.

    The Ancient creation story of the world according to Ancient Egyptians who were

    Urhobos states that; the world began as a watery mass called Nun (which from our

    Urhobo language is ENUN for mouth) from which the sun and or tongue Atum

    (Urhobo for ATUMU, i.e. first to stand or be) came out on a mound. Atum then begot

    the deities of Shu (Urhobo expression for surprise and the onomatopoeia for sneeze)

    the god of Air, and Tephnut (Urhobo for Otavenu, i.e. word and mouth) which is

    moisture. And these in-turn begat Keb (Kebe, ground on which we plant ebe, trees

    and fruits, shrubs etc) which is the earth. And Nut (Enute, Urhobo for reach up) the

  • 7/31/2019 Get Off the Backs of My Children

    4/22

    4

    sky deity. From the deity of Enute (also Kenute) we also got Canoe of the English

    word for small boat because the zodiac of Kenute goddess resembles a small boat .

    Kebe and Enute (Earth and Sky deities respectively) then went on to produce our firstAncestor King and Queen in Ancient Egypt known as Esiri and Isi (Osiris and Isis, in

    pluralized form). Including Set and Nephthys (Im yet to crack who Set and Nephthys

    are). (The Gods of the Egyptians, E.A. Wallis Bulge p308) also (http://www.urhobo-

    world.org/Egypt History of Urhobo.htm) [Some are my emphasis].

    It is obvious that the story makes sense in relation to the names and meanings in

    Urhobo and no other tribe in the world.

    THE Yoruba and Benin versions

    YORUBA VERSION: Olodumare. Yoruba God of creation sent Orumila down on

    earth with a rooster which carries some quantity of sand in its claws when the earth

    was in void and water. In the mist of this vast water, Orumila using the rooster spread

    the sand to form land. Oduduwa, the Ancestor of the Yoruba race had eight children

    who went to form various communities before he came down to earth on a chain from

    the sky. The chain is probably the rainbow.

    BENIN VERSION: Osanobuah. Benin God of Creation sent three Sons to populate

    the world in the mist of vast water with a tree in the middle and a hornbill bird

    perched on it. These children has different skills chosen by the first two which include

    magical skills, wealth management respectively and the last chose a snail shell by the

    guidance of the hornbill [Interestingly, a dramatic weather change during the end of

    the ice age between 15,000 and 10,000BCE left many sea shells in the Egyptian

    desert](My emphasis). As the children were travelling through space to earth, theyoungest and bearer of the shell release its content with stream of endless sand to

    form land. And God came down with a chain from the sky.

    As we can see from above, the Yoruba and the Benin version mimic one another and

    an indication that they are of one origin i.e. Jacob and Oduduwa, Izoduwa, Asaduwa.

    But Asa, Aesa is an element of Asaduwa which means Aesa, Asa or Essa has reached

    the world. Are we not all children of the same trinity of Asa, Aesa etc.? On the other

    hand, the Ancient Egyptian Creation narratives of the world is pure Urhobo. Whoever

    argues with this should read the legends of the Gods by E.A. Wallis Budge. It isamazing.

    Anyway, Esiri and Isi then begat Uroh (Horus) thereby forming the trininty of Esa,

    Aesa or Ausar who will judge the world [Historical deception: the untold story of

    Ancient Egypt, Moustafa Gadalla, page 40]. Add H to Ausar and you get Hausar.

    In the same vein add the roman figure of one hundred i.e. C to Aesar and you get

    Caesar. Also; Czar is a derivative of Aesar. Uroh was changed to Horus and Hours

    while the children of Oran, Ra i.e. Emora or Amora was changed to Rome or Roma

    respectively {I will pay $500 to any person that finds these names otherwise}. Andso was Genesis from Gene of Isi, Geneva from Gene of Eva (Okpe) and Paris from

    Opar (Opo, Opa, stick) of Isi. For instance, two French Authors wrote that,

    The name Gomorrah in hebrew is Amora which means people [Children] of Ra or

    people of Pharaoh (Secrets of the Exodus, Messod and Roger Sabbah, page 71).

    Also, the name Osarsephe, is Egyptian which every Priest or King after going through

    an initiation is known as Osarsephe (Osesephe: is father-Esiri who generates wealth).

    The funerary papyrus of Iouiya, (Eyuya, Juya,[this is suffer], Joseph) explains that hewas presented with a gold chain and he was the bearer of the Seal of lower Egypt.

    Soon after he was presented with this office, he became known as Sephe. This is why

    we have him as Yusephe which became Yuseph (Yoruba rendition) and Joseph

    (Hebrew rendition) (The Hebrew Pharaohs of Egypt, Ahmed Osman, page 119, and

    also Genesis 41:42, some are my emphasis). In other words, Joseph the fourth

    generation of Abraham has obtained a Chieftaincy title from the Kingdom of Esau

    (Esiri) and taking an oath of office with the name of Asa, Osa, Ose (Esiri) etc. thereby

    completing the four generation which Abram said his Children will be in bondage in

    Egypt. Truly, the 18th

    Dynasty saw the end of Yoruba rule in Ancient Egypt when

    General Horemhobo took over.

    It was probably the same Isi the wife and sister of Esiri that Reverend Dr. C. Osume

    is referring to as Izu of Okpe Nationhood. If Assa can be changed to Essa, Asa, Aesa,Ausa, Ausar and Hausar etc, Isi too can be referred to as Isis, Auset, Izu and Eva by

    any ethnic group emanating from her. An indication denoting children of one mother

    or rather, other ethnic groups can adopt her name as their mother which is exactly

    what genesis has accomplished today. Gene of Isi.

    Furthermore, Reverend Dr. Osumes pandering to Benin does not hold water because

    he failed to tell us the link apart from Okpe being prince and Igboze this Igboze that.

    He should know that during the Coronation of the present Oba of Benin probably in

    1979, the Oba traveled the length and breadth of Nigeria in a thank you tour but did

  • 7/31/2019 Get Off the Backs of My Children

    6/22

    6

    he travel to Okpe land? If you are so related and valued at such, he will come to you

    as equals and related people.

    The Benins speaks a variant of Urhobo mixed with Yoruba. This is so because we

    owned the Land of Aka until we were driven out. Therefore, the Benin language is

    bound to reflect Urhobo just like the Igbo person domiciled in Lagos and of course hewill learn to speak Yoruba to do his business. Perhaps I should refer Dr. C. Osume to

    a News blog of Edonet.com where Dr. Nowa Omoigui wrote to messrs Benjamin,

    Victor, Rita and Cynthia regarding matters of seniority in Esan land where the writerconsulted late Chief Orosayes book: History of Ancient Benin Kingdom and Empire-

    pages 31-33. In the history-account, Okpe was not mentioned except Urhobo and

    Amon (Amen). I thought this history is suspect because of its empirical data Dr.

    Osume craves for and also did not mention Egypt where the Urhobos originate from

    but Sudan. I will re-iterate here that the Urhobos did not come from Sudan but the

    Yoruba did. They are the true Israelites whom Jakob their ancestral father reconciled

    with Esau who was already established in Egypt and the Benins are the first Children

    of Jakob (Israel). I stand to be corrected. The wrestling engagement of Jakob and astranger spirit which disjointed his thigh is nothing more but his initiation in the

    mystery school in Egypt.

    To further clear the confusion that the Benin came from Sudan and Egypt, Benjamin

    Imhonde asked Nowa of the futility of not finding any evidence of Benin culture in

    the Sudan and Egypt Valley. Nowa started his explanation using the mythological

    tradition of God-Osanobua using the snail shell to create the first land. He is making

    reference inadvertently to the dramatic weather change during the end of the ice age

    between 15,000 and 10,000BCE which left many sea shells in the Egyptian desert

    thereby denoting some guesswork of the period in time when the Yoruba went to

    Egypt starting from Abram and later Jakob. Egypt story of world Creation on the

    other hand is the oldest in civilsation.

    The Benin name for God is Osonobua, whilst in Urhobo is Osonobrughwe.

    The Very Reverend, Professor S.U. Erivwo gave an insight in the name we accord

    our God thus:

    Oso-no-bruwhe had been suggested to be a Benin name, or corruption of EdoOsanobua. But this may or may not be so. If it were a borrowing from Benin or a

    corruption of the Benin Osanobua with which it appears to be clearly related, then the

    meaning attaching to Osanobua would have to be given to Osonobruwhe since

    according to E.B. Idowu, Osanobua means Asa (compare Yoruba Orisa) who holds

    and sustains the universe, this same meaning might have to be given to the Urhobo

    Osonobruwhe (Traditional Religion and Christianity on Nigeria: The Urhobo people,

    Very Reverend, Professor S.U. Erivwo, page 11, some are my emphassis).

    Indeed, Asa which was mentioned by Idowu is the same Aesa, Aesar, Assa and Essa

    which I have explained elsewhere in this write-up.

  • 7/31/2019 Get Off the Backs of My Children

    7/22

    The historical theft of Esiris heritage also known as Aesa, Assa and Asa etc. is dumb-

    founding. Almost every civilization embraced Esiri in either Religious or Secular

    matters. For instance; in the Bible he is known as Esau because he promised to kill his

    brother Jacob when the latter cheated and named him ESHU. You will get Esau when

    the H in ESHU is crowned to be A. But where-as the benevolent Urhobo deity is

    given ETCHE as an appellation and symbol, the bad and evil deity is known asETCHU. The antecedents of the Yoruba is known in the pronunciation of Urhobo

    as Usobo. Is it not also convenient to call ETCHU as ESHU? The changing of Eshu to

    Esau was the handwork of the Hebrew re-writers also known as redactors.

    This history of Assa, Asa, Esa, Aesa, Aesar etc. was deliberately left out in the

    kingship of Egypt and was used to create Christianity as we find it in the biblical

    history of Jesus (Iyesuwa) and his brother Chrestus (Omatie). Iyesuwa disciples were

    known as Essa-Ene (Essenes) which means Essa for three (3) and Ene meaning four

    (4). 3 times 4 equal 12 disciples. That is the trinity of Esiri, Horus and Isi multiplied

    by four of Iyesuwa, Omatie, Mariamune and Tiberius which gives the full strength of

    spiritual power. This name Asa or Assa also reflects the meaning that the Urhobo Godlives or stays in Asa (Place called the sky). And He will

    Brughwe (appropriate) wealth or blessings to all non sinning people on earth. Osa or

    Oso no Brughwe therefore is the God that appropriate wealth and blessings to us.

    Okpe people also know and call God Osonobrughwe. Not only that, the Okpe also

    agrees with other Urhobo ethnic groups that God resides up there in the sky which is

    Ekete (Akete). But to my surprise, Akete is also indicative of high horizon (Akhet,

    Akhete) in Ancient Egypt. Or taken from another perspective of the Very Reverend

    Erivwo,

    when they describe the horizon as Asa Oghene de vwobototo, i.e. where God

    torches the earth (Ibid page 14).

    The link here is Akete, Ekete, Asa etc. all meaning the same Urhobo vernacular namefor Gods place in the sky and these shows our common root (Esiri).

    The Okpe ethnic group are of Urhobo Origin judging from the fact that

    they originate from Esiri, Isi and Uroh. And many kings in Ancient Egypt including

    Horemhobo (Oremhobo) inherited the name Esiri or Uroh and it is from these names

    i.e. Uroh and Oremhobo Urhobo came forth. Other well meaning people ofUrhobo; for example Reverend Vincent Edafejirhaye of the Agape Gospel Mission of

    Orerokpe agrees with me in thepreface of The origin of Urhobo Nation of Federal

    Republic of Nigeria by David Ejoor that the Urhobo Nation comprises of twenty two

    (22) kingdoms and Okpe is listed as number fifteen (15).

    We are not stupid with using history as some myth that raises its head as a monster to

    destroy its children. On the contrary, history is to teach mankind to emulate their

    ancestors, educate them of their ancestral exploits, developments and inventions.

    Where ugly in history is found, mistakes are corrected to prevent such happening

    again to move forward. Historical Education should bind us together but not divide us.

    So far, I have been objective in giving the accounts of other historians and

    commentators alike. Some of these historians have taken our history as theirs

    especially the Europeans and Americans and this is because, if you dont write your

    history others will do so for you. Africans themselves does not help matters in

    evaluating the African history. What we hear from our African writers is empirical

    data to determine the African History written by Africans which is self doubt and pity.The ardent self doubting African writer needs the white-colour cosmetic make-up to

    authenticate his own history. A metaphoric haircut to constantly measure his mental

    capability and spiritual helplessness. I feel sorry for them. For me, If I should wake up

    next morning to receive a phone call from an Okpe King in 200 BC, his language will

    not be confusing to me. It is the same Urhobo language with variations here and there.

    Neither will I be at sea by his picture, statue, names of people and places, objects used

    for Chieftaincy traditions and rituals etc. presented to me in museums and other places

    in foreign lands. This is why I am not in the hue of those who cannot read their

    history along the lines. In other words, I do not follow follow, thereby relying on

    empirical data to control their thinking and ultimately for the purpose of economic

    capital of the empire of religion. For, religion has killed many humans on earth thanany other causes. Be that as it may, academics, Scholars, academicians and other

    professionals among us who are in the fields of archaeology, astrology and linguistics

    should do their best to renew their knowledge of ancient Egypt to authenticate and

    correct the history and forgery heaped on African history.

    THE ESAU (ESIRI, ASARE, OSIRI, OZIRI, ETC) CHILDRENS DOCILITY

    IS EPITOMISED BY OKPE PEOPLE

    Esau or Esiri lineage can be seen in the book of Genesis 36 where it is said that he

    married up to three wives who gave him multitude of children known as dukes. But if

    these children were dukes; it is then correct to believe that Jacob (Uyakoba, Yakoob,

    Yakubal etc) was a king but nothing in the Bible indicates such events happening. On

    the other hand, it is safe to surmise that Esau was a king but because the thieves of

    history wants these records for themselves, the authentic history was turned on its

    head and deliberately misappropriated anachronistically to other tribes, and in place of

    Esiri, Esau, they placed Mena (Greek Menes). The latter is the truth because in Egypt,

    the culture of the Kings (Pharaohs) is to name the great Pyramid after an epoc-making

    King. Such culture reflects in naming the Pyramid in the time of Esiri, Akhenaten and

    Horemhobo. For Esiri period, it was Seir. The clever guys merely brought the E in

    Esiri to the front of S and omitted the last vowel I which is the custom of

    Hieroglyphic text writing. During time of Akhenaten (Moses), the Great Pyramid wasknown as Sina whilst during Horemhobos (Aaron) time, it was known as Horeb. The

    process of initiation into the mysteries is carried out under the Great Pyramid and the

    Sphinx. In other words, magic mount Seir, Sina (later Sinai) and Horeb are nothing

    but the Great Pyramid. But you may ask, If things such as kingship is addressed with

    kinship in ancient times, is it not correct to say that Mena must be the Son of Esiri

    (Esau) who also married Adah? And is it not possible that Adah is of Ibo origin. Adah

    is the daughter of Elon (Elonu ?, Genesis 36:2). Furthermore, Ekete (Akhete) is the

    high horizon for the stars which means place in Okpe. But in Genesis 36:27, Akan

    ethnic group of Ghana have the same culture with the Ibo people of weaving the same

    colourful Kente and Akwete clothe respectively. The colours are of the rainbow/stars

    in the high horizon. Surprisingly, the first slave castle in Ghana was named Osu castle.The Akan name may have origin in Aka because a person from Nigeria is known as

  • 7/31/2019 Get Off the Backs of My Children

    9/22

    9

    Nigerian. The man who chaired the commission to edit the Bible was Ezra in 400 BC;

    Ezra is an abbreviated name for EzeOra. And Akan was one of the children of Ezra

    (Genesis 36:27) who has the root of Esiri (Esau). The Ghanian Akan tongue is similar

    to Okpe, Uvwie and Ibo because I can pick some words from their speaking of it.

    Furthermore and to buttress my point that Aka represents Esau and the latter is also

    Esiri (Osiris), the Gnostic Nag Hammadi Library collection of Religious text comes tomind. When decoded, the name Nag Hammadi becomes Anagho Ammadi. This in Ibohas to do with the God of Ammadi is going, gone or where is it going. On the other

    hand, the Ghanian knows some Nigerians as Anagho people. But decode Anagho

    and the result becomes Ghana. These are the people who share the same language

    variables with Ibo people. Definitely these cant be co-incidence.

    Yet another link to Aka by Ghana is from the name of a tribe known as Asanti.

    Asanti or Asante are the same. Asa as we can see is the root. The other syllable Nti

    means man. Therefore; Asanti means Asa man. Asa as we know already is the trinity

    of Esiri, Isi and Uroh. The Asanti tribe is an umbrella for other ethnic groups which

    come together at some time in history but the suppression law of the GhanianChietaincy rule known as

    Obi nkyere obi ase which is one of the pillars on which Asanti was built made it as

    a law restricting any individual from revealing the identities of the congeries of ethnic

    groups that came to form Asanti federation (The life and Work of Nkrumah, Edited

    by Kwame Arhin, page 14).

    Because of this law, we have difficulty in ascertaining who these ethnic groups are

    but suffice here that with Asa and Nti, we can deduce that they may be one of us the

    Esiri children while Nti group might come from East Africa representing the Bantu.

    For Nti stands for man and Ntu stands for men respectively.

    The code for Aka is 63336 (mystery code number for Asa, Esiri). While the prison

    code for Nelson Mandela was 64446 (Xhosa ethnic group of South Africa believe they

    are descendants of Amonhotope, Solomon). The number 6 is Era. 3 is Esa (Asa) in

    Uvwie. Whilst 4 is Ene as I have explained before. So, this indicates that Mandela is

    from the root of Solomon, David and subsequently Jesus, because the number 4 is

    attributed to Jesus thereby representing his two parents and twin brother Omatie.

    These can be verified in the Zodiac. This zodiac (Izodiaca), Just like Izoduwa, is the

    Ogisoic name for Asadiaca. Zodiac mean, the sun (represented by Esiri) lives in or

    has reached Aka. Each house of Izodiaca is an Age or era of 2661years or near thisfigure. But on the scale of twelve months, each age is one month.

    UNDERSTANDING THE ZODIAC (IZODIAKA)

    Read from the house of Ram backwards, Ram for Ramese (that is, call him

    Ra)[Aries], followed by Bull (Bull stand for Baal [Baale, Freemasonry; by Jack. M.

    Driver, page 141][Taurus]) and Twins [twins stands for Iyesuwa and Omatie, Jesus

    and Chrestus][Gemini], these are numbered 1, 2 and 3 anti-clockwise out of the

    twelve houses which also stand for twelve months in a year. But before Ram (ese),

    there is Pisces which is two fishes and the next third house in front is the Archer

    (Sagittarius) man who is holding Bow and Arrow signifying a Soldier. One thing ofnote is that, Ramese was also known as Pa Ramese, a corruption of Opo/Opa Ramese

  • 7/31/2019 Get Off the Backs of My Children

    10/22

    10

    (stick, Opa in Yoruba, Okpo in Urhobo). Ramese was the king who struggled

    with Akhenaten for the right to the thrown. He produced his Opo/Okpo after

    Akhenaten/Moses did in order to tell the king makers that he has the right to the

    throne. This is echoed in the Bible when Moses produces a staff of Office,

    errorneously said to be the magic stick which produces a snake. Big lie, the stick with

    a bronze snake-head is indicative of Ra God and right to the kingship of Egypt.

    In any case, counting anti-clockwise gives a clear symbolic history of Urhobo the

    Egyptians handing over the era to Yoruba starting from Ramese, to the Baale and

    finally to the age of the twins of Iyesuwa and Omatie who started their ministries in

    the age of the Pisces. Remember, Jesus fed the multitude with two fishes. The two

    fishes (indicative of twin birth) is represented with the fish hat of the Pope in Rome

    who in-turn represents the twins father Tiberius who was Roman. Tiberius was a

    Roman General in the Holy land and Syria.

    Also note that the three world mythical creation stories of Egypt (Urhobo), Yoruba

    and Benin clearly mirrors the Zodiac three ages of Ram, Bull and Twins, i.e. Ram forRamese which is Urhobo, Bull for Baale which is Yoruba and Twins for Iyesuwa and

    Omatie which are Uzebu or Ijebu (Benin) origin.

    Indeed, the bible is full of our history. This is why I am calling for a

    new historiography for the Urhobos, Itsekiris and Yorubas to unravel the grand theft

    of our history instead of separating ourselves from each other because of small

    economic capital. I believe that the war against marginalization is not to be fought

    within Urhobo but in the bigger world of Nigeria and the entirety of the planet earth.

    Modern democracy is about inclusion not seclusion whereby the number in our

    population is reduced because of some short sighted individuals that are aggrieved of

    one offence or the other. The genuine religious people and Patriots like us do not fight

    for individual wealth of money but for the pride and dignity for our father and mother

    land.

    Dr. Osumes skewed analysis of proving his own version of Okpe groups difference

    by employing one third land mass geography and comparative study of lexico-

    statistical percentages of one compared to those of another related language is a

    beggers belief. It reminds me of the Jehovahs witness hoax of 144000 people to

    inherit the earth. The problem of our people is probably identifying with the name

    Urhobo; who he was and what is the origin of this precious name. This is why, it is

    important to devise ways to educate Urhobo people of our history taken from theBible and ancient Egyptian history. In this hidden resource, the truth and facts are

    hidden; we should come together as a matter of urgency to unveil the secrets so that

    we can remove ourselves from this damaging self destruct. For lack of this knowledge,

    other kingdoms in Nigeria have hoodwinked us to believe that we are their offsprings.

    We cannot continue to be spring chickens while the world is usurping our history to

    their advantage and our disadvantage. Mr. S. Obruche, the UK Chair of Urhobo

    Historical Society at one time gave an account of how some Benin history enthusiasts

    spoke to him in innuendoes of Urhobo peoples lack ofknowledge of their own rich

    and authentic history in the wake of Itsekiri peoples belligerence in the former Mid

    West State against the Urhobo. The failure they recognized and held-on to it in their

    claim that we were children of Benin. A fraud which I once believed but not now.Annexing Urhobo to Benin is a wrong history the Okpe Scholars has clothed

  • 7/31/2019 Get Off the Backs of My Children

    11/22

    11

    themselves in. It feels comfortable to be clothed in another mans cloths when you

    think that you cannot have one. I will re-iterate that, how can you cloth your self with

    the cloths of the great (Uku) world that drove other worlds including you away? (Uku

    Akpolokpolo), and your name representing the driven one (Orodje, Igboze). Orodje

    means a person who runs away and Igboze means Igbo runs away too. The etymology

    of our names and words, best explain our relationship with other ethnic groups andamong ourselves.

    The similarities in our names i.e. Esiri, Asa, Asaduwa, Izoduwa etc. came about

    because we are of one origin Abram; a fact Dr. Osume is not allowing me to say. But

    I will nevertheless explain one point here, the similarity in the name of Asa, Asaduwa,

    Izoduwa is significant. People say Asaduwa (Izoduwa) married an Urhobo woman

    just as Abram married an Ancient Egyptian woman Hagar. Are these Patriarchs not

    the same person? (Genesis 16:1-3, Genesis 21:1-12, Genesis 22:1-14). The story goes

    that when Sarah finally had a son Isaac, Sarah admonished Abram not to allow this

    bond child (Ismael who mocks) inherit his estate and Abram promptly sent Hagar

    away.

    From Urhobo point of view; when you marry your relative by mistake, you will have

    to perform rituals to appease the gods and Irinvwin (The Dead) because it is forbidden

    (Aghar, Hagar). The couples hands are tied, flogged symbolically and both runs

    away while a goat is slaughtered. In Yoruba this tradition is called Sarah. Is it not

    sensible to say that Abram killed a goat as Sarah-appeasement instead of Isaac? The

    Mount Moriah in this story means I have found a wife in Yoruba language.

    Futhermore, Ismael the son of Aghar was made up of three syllable name of gods of

    Egypt (Asa, means three in Uvwie), Isi, Maat and Eloho, [Is from Isi, Ma from maat,

    El from Eloho]). We know who Isi and Eloho are. Maat means the god of truth and

    Judgment. So therefore, could our Asaduwa be the biblical Abram also known as

    Aramfe in Yoruba? In Genesis 22 verse 14, Abram re-named the land where he was to

    sacrifice Isaac as Jehovah-jireh. The word Jireh is an expression for praise in

    Urhobo and Hagar when decoded becomes Aghar thereby denoting the forbidden

    marriage between Sarah and Abram. But, was there any Sarah? Because Sarah is also

    known as appeasing the gods, it is this ritual of appeasing the gods that must be done

    to remove the curse of the gods. Please someone should awaken Jerome (UyaRome,

    Yarome, suffer of Rome) from the dead to explain to us how he redactioned the Bible

    for the Romans.

    The users of Esau, Esiri, Essa, Ausar history did not stop at usurping the name. Esirisspiritual concepts, prayers and rules were also taken on-board for other purposes. For

    instance the meticulous work of an Australian author (Tony Bushby) exposes thegrand theft of our heritage. Chief Omokomoko, the singer sang the lords prayer in

    some times past; by the time of rhythmic composition, chief Omokomoko probably

    thought that the prayer belongs to Oyinbo as all of us thought. To the contrary; it is of

    Esiri origin.

    In-fact, the Lords prayer, the book of revelation and the ten commandments were

    originated by Esiri (Asar, Essa, Osiris, Oziri etc.) and his wife Isi [The crucifixion of

    Truth, Tony Bushby, page 279-280, also; Moses and Akhenaten, Osman Ahmed, page

    172, also Moses Mysteries, Gary Greenberg, page 153 and Secret in the Bible, TonyBushby, pages 298-299].

    12/22

    This will be expanded on below.

    Tony Bushby categorically states in his titled page of:

    the forerunner writing to the Book of revelation (C. 500 BC) that the document

    known as the apocalyptic writing of the Sibyl of Tarquin was originally calledMysteries of Osiris and Isis (Esiri and Isi, my emphasis). That; it was the true origin

    of the book of Revelation and the probable source of the concept of the essenes two

    precious prayers to the heavenly father and earthly mother (The crucifixion of truth,

    Tony Bushby, page179)

    i.e. Oseravware rbojuvwu, our father.etc. In other words, the lords prayer is for

    Esiri, i.e. Assa, Aesa, Osonobrughwe, Osanobua, (Osiris) who is in heaven.

    Not to be left behind, the author Ahmed Osman further exposes the fraud in the bible

    when he states in his book of Moses and Akhenaten that the

    Ten Commandments given by the Lord God of Moses to the Israelites in Sinai are

    clearly an Egyptian tradition and would seem to have common roots with the

    Egyptian Book of the Dead (Moses and Akhenaten, Ahmed Osman, page 172). The

    negative confessions of the Ancient Egyptians which are part of a funerary ritual for

    the deceased, judged by Esiri (Osiris) and his forty two (42) assessor Judges and forty

    two Principles clearly illuminate our minds that the Ten commandments was lifted

    from the Osirian culture (The Moses Mysteries, Gary Greenberg, page 153, some are

    my emphasis).

    THE JEWS

    Looking from the perspective of Reverend Dr. C. Osume, one will not blame him for

    obvious mistakes. He had been brain-washed by the mighty Church that has designed

    programmes to perpetually hypnotize adherents for them to remain where they are. As

    I have referred him before, the book of revelation which was interfered with, probably

    by the redaction Roman or English re-writers have it in REVELATION 2 verse 9 that

    those who call themselves Jews are not Jews. They are not Jews. [We should note

    here that these re-writers actually added verses 1-7 in Chapter 1 into the book of

    revelations as explained by the author of the Secret in the Bible, Tony Bushby] Yet

    my brother still held on the view that the Jews are the chosen people of which he cited

    some cranky authors.

    Those who claim to be Israelites today were the same people who stole our history as

    a result of the bitter divorce (18th

    dynasty upheaval, my emphasis), ancient Egypt

    became permanent casualty of the chosen people, the Jewish scribes reflected the

    political and religious disputes of those ancient times by mixing history and fiction in

    their re-editing of the Bible. They changed names and chronology of events to

    complete their cover-up scheme (Tutankhamun, Moustafa Gadalla, page 30)

    In my write-up published inhttp://www.urhobo-world.org, under the title A briefand

    authentic history of Abram (Aramfe), Isaac (Ooni), Esau (Esiri), Jacob (Uyakoba) etc.

    I made it clear by citing some Jewish writers and scholars that the Jews of today arenot the Israelites that Dr. C. osume is looking up to. To be serious, from all my

    http://www.urhobo-world.org/http://www.urhobo-world.org/http://www.urhobo-world.org/http://www.urhobo-world.org/
  • 7/31/2019 Get Off the Backs of My Children

    indications of research, the Israelites referred to in the Bible are the Yorubas who

    came to Egypt to mix with the Urhobos. It is them who joined the Urhobos in

    worshipping Isi, Ra, and Eloho i.e. ISRAEL. From these three gods we have Israel

    (Isis, Ra, Eloho). What other literal meaning can Osume religiously get. Isi is our

    mother, Ra is the sun god, because the Urhobo language knows the sun to come in the

    morning and go in the evening and we say Yan Ra, or Sha Ra. Walk to me. And Elfrom Eloho is the god of vegetation. i.e. Okpa god. Or, is it possible that Eloho is

    Okpe god? Hence we should hazard a guess that Okpe name was taken from Okpa

    god which is Eloho?

    One more important point was made by no other more relevant personality than our

    Own Urhobo role model. He said that:

    Urhobos are among the twelve tribes of Israel and Hebrew. And Ibo (Igbo) people

    are the prominent ethnic group of Hebrew in Nigeria (The origin of Urhobo nation of

    the Federal Republic of Nigeria, by Major General David Akpode Ejoor, page 1).

    I agree by half. What the author did not say is that, by mixed marriages some Urhobos

    became Hebrews during the periods of Yoruba entering into Egypt; for example, the

    people of Orogun whom he said were Ibos are also mixed with Itsekiris. This is why

    they are a mix of Yoruba (Itsekiri), Ibo and Urhobo. Furthermore, the Hebrew

    language is a combination of African, Greek and Palestinian languages and this

    includes Urhobo. But where-as the name ISRAEL is authentic to Urhobo because Isi

    (Izu) was our mother, Ra and Eloho were our Sun and Vegetation gods respectively.

    Therefore, where lies the evidence of the Biblical Jews that they are the chosen people.

    Indeed, Gary Greenberg also asked the same question thus:

    How do we know; independent of the Bible, that Israel s presence in Egypt was

    preceded by an earlier presence in Palestine ? [ as those who assume the name are

    claiming to be the real Israelites, my emphasis]. Why is there no archaeological

    record of Israel or Hebrew people prior to the thirteen (13th

    ) Century BC. Why is

    there no extra biblical evidence linking any Semitic tribes to the Hebrew people? And

    why did the so-called ten lost tribes of Israel disappear from history without any

    archaeological trace of their existence? (The Moses Mysteries: The African Origins of

    the Jewish people, Gary Greenberg, page 2).

    For Reverend Osumes information; there are no lost tribes of Israel . If he reads hisBible carefully without holding to the tally of indoctrination, he will see that the

    Biblical children of Israel are everywhere in the world with Nigeria their base. These

    are the Oduduwa children in the Bible book of, Genesis 25:8-10, Genesis 29:30-35

    and Genesis 30:1-24. It is no co-incidence that Oduduwa had 13 children just as Jacob

    did. Re-Uben was the first child of Jacob and so was Benin for Oduduwa. Juya was

    the Eight child of Oduduwa, so was Joseph to Jacob, Benjamin was close to Joseph

    and so the Itsekiri language is close to Benue language. Dinah, a woman is the last

    daughter of Jacob and so was Telu, the Oluwo of Iwo to Oduduwa. These two women

    were the only daughters of their heroic fathers. Are these co-incidence? No! Please

    think deep.

  • 7/31/2019 Get Off the Backs of My Children

    14/22

    14

    But people say that Oduduwa had up to fifteen children but none had been able to say

    exactly who the two lineages which when added to the thirteen we know of makes it

    fifteen. One certain place I have researched is Gary Greenbergs book where my mind

    was illuminated that:

    the Calebites and the Kenites are two children which made Jacobs children 15 innumber and they were from the root of Moses co-opted into his (jacobs) children

    (The Moses mysteries: The African Origins of the Jewish people, Gary Greenberg,

    page 256).

    So, are these Calebites and Kenites the same people as Ikale and Okenne/Ikenne who

    increased the number of Oduduwa children to fifteen?Gary Greenberg also wrote that

    the Calebites have links with Hebrew. It is exactly the same with the Ikale ethnic

    group who have links with Ibo.

    THE OKPE PEOPLE

    It is obvious in Reverend Dr. Osumes write-up that he does not know the meaning of

    Urhobo. I will help him. The Colonialists know who the real Ancient Egyptians were

    in Africa. They also know their neighbours. They had withheld this information from

    us because of the economic capital involved. Those who are in the know among we

    Africans, are related to the Colonialists by intermarriage and close-quarters

    intelligence Officers. Others are deep researchers with third eye. One such person

    was:

    Yamu Numa (1950) who said the Urhobo probably came ultimately from Egypt, and

    they are descendants of Prince Urhiabo and the ancient ruling caste of Egypt who left

    Egypt in 812 BC for Ile Ife (The Urhobo People, page 23).

    The editors of the Urhobo People book did not take him seriously because the virus

    of empirical data rules. Of course Yamu Numa got it spot on though I am not sure of

    the date. Horemhobo of the 18th

    Dynasty Egypt assumed the name of Horus (Uroh,

    Urho, Urhoh). Other Kings before him too also assumed the name on coming to the

    throne.

    It is even said that Jesus has Uroh name. The book Tut-Ankh-Amen by Gadalla

    gives blow by blow account of how the history of the Boy King Tutankhamen

    resembles the history of Jesus. Tutankhamens Horus name is Nefer-Hebo Gere-Tawi (Nebti) (The Hebrew Pharaohs of Egypt; Ahmed Osman, page 117). The

    Nefer-Hebo is clearly an Urhobo name badly spelt. It is actually NeferUrhobo

    meaning look at the wealth of Urhobo. The boys various names and those of his

    parents clearly shows that he is Itsekiri of Yoruba tribe whose great grand mother is

    Urhobo known as Tiye the Egyptian.

    For the self all knowing group of a section of Okpe Scholars headed by sentimental

    Reverend Dr. Charles Osume to hazard a guess that Okpe people are not Urhobo beat

    my imagination to say the least.

    First their narratives is woven round their allegation that Igboze is the progenitor ofOkpe and hailed from Bini between 1550 and 1650.

  • 7/31/2019 Get Off the Backs of My Children

    15/22

    15

    Perhaps if we are to disbelieve the four traditions of origin of the Urhobo people

    as properly researched and enunciated by Onigu Otite et al, which are:-

    Emigration from original Edo territory, traditions of origin from Ife,

    Autochthony and traditions of origin from the Sudan and Egypt. Then Dr.

    Osume and his co-travellers should be aware of what Egharevwa meant below:

    by the 14th

    century when some of the emigrants left Benin (sic), they found in

    their destinations in Urhobo territory some Edo speaking settlers(The Urhobo

    People; Onigu Otite in citing Egharevwa, page 10).

    Is it not obvious that if Igboze left Benin in the 16th

    or 17th

    century, then this

    alleged progenitor cannot father the Okpe people because other Okpe people had

    already established themselves in Urhobo Land?

    Secondly, they alleged that Prince Igboze founded Olomu. Thirdly, the senior son of

    Okpe left Olomu settlement for his nephew also known as Olomu in order to avoid

    conflict. Olomu was the son of Okpes sister. Okpe and his relatives then foundedOkpe-Isoko also known as Okpe rikpere. And much later, Okpes three children

    founded Orerokpe Whilst Orhoro the 2nd

    son founded Ozoro.

    It is impossible for Okpe peoples lineage to begin in 1550 or 1650. Dr. Osumes

    article written to diminish my point on this matter also tried to diminish the

    research work of Onigu Otite et als multi-disciplinary approach of their book

    The Urhobo People, a huge field work originating from Urhobo Kings, Chiefs,

    Elders, Opinion leaders, Scholars, Historians etc. All what Urhobo Patriots

    concluded included the point that, Okpe people are Urhobos. For the self

    appointed scholars of some section to avaricely say Okpe belong to some

    mundane history is grossly insulting. Such history belongs to the cabinet of

    instrumental history where classes of people struggles for positions and self

    aggrandizements.

    I cannot understand Osume and his supporters when they hypothesize that Igboze

    founded Olomu; yet his child Okpe left the settlement of Olomu to the nephew

    begotten by Okpes sister. At least, we know that Okpe did not sleep with his sister.

    Olomu therefore was founded by the man whom the sister married. Simple logic. it

    does not make sense for Igboze to found a settlement and let his brother in-law name

    it after himself thereby disenfranchising himself and his family. Gleaning the

    narratives here and there, one could conclude that Olomu has elements of Ibo originbut the history of Olomu from another perspective says more to this. Below is one

    perception.

    Going by our history of Urhobo; the man Igboze had no child. But Mr. Alaka who

    eloped with Igbozes mother to Olomu fathered three children, these were, Uhurie,

    Eyanvwen and a daughter who married Oghoro an Izon Prince from Ekiagbodo.

    And through these three lineages, the royal house of Olomu revolves till today.

    The following are the royal families in Olomu and from here many migrated to other

    areas of Urhobo as Okpe people. (The origin of Urhobo nation., Major General

    David Ejoor, page 24)

    These are the kindred which makes part of Urhobo Nation of today & Okpeis one of them

    Though Igboze was a Prince of Benin, he was short-changed for Obaship. His motherleft Benin in annoyance with another man (Alaka) to Olomu. Igboze later followed

    with three Ogiso Ovwor (Staff of Office) to Olomu where his mum is in hiding. He

    married an Izon woman whom he killed for ritual to obtain spiritual power in order to

    be Oba of Benin. The gamble failed. He fathered no children. Nonetheless, the Olomu

    People used Igbozes name as an advantage to buy Ovieship from Benin (Ibid page

    26).

    In another viewpoint; Okpe is said to be related to Uvwie. In Evwrun (Effurun), we

    have three ruling quarters, these are, Erovie, Alaka and Ogbe quarters. The past King

    Eruohwo the 2nd

    was from Edjekohwo family. In Ekpan, we have two main ruling

    quarters; Edjekuvwie and Eyaye with one late arrival known as Izegbo whom was

    said to have run away from Benin. In Djedo, we have Esezi ruling quarter.

    Geographically these ruling quarters when lined up in a graph, they give a picture of a

    beeline graph in a map. My question is; is this not the same Alaka that eloped with

    Igbozes mother to Olomu who is now domiciled in Effurun? And is this not the same

    Igboze that changed his name to Izegbo in Ekpan? I leave that to conjecture.

    And in the final analysis of the quarters; these names also strike a chord, they are:Edjekohwo, Edjekuvwie, Igboze, Izegbo, Djedo. These names have one thing in

    common, RUN. They all have to do with run. But running away from what in Aka or

    Benin. If they are so related, why should they run away? I posit that they are all

    running away from invaders who some may be related. This is why the suggestion

    that:

    what may be called the autochthons were so strongly organized and established that

    other immigrating Urhobo fitted in easily while Bini Warrior/rulers-settlers were

    absorbed into the local culture(The Urhobo People; Onigu Otite et al, page 24).

    becomes Very Relevant.

    IZU: OUR OKPE MOTHER

    For once, the racism in Reverend Dr. C. Osume mind did not allow him to reason that

    the Name Izu could have root and origin as he well know that African names are

    important with their symbolism. Just like Asaduwa and Izoduwa have origin in their

    root of Assa, asa, Ausa, Esiri, and Osiris, Izu too could have taken its root from Isi.For example, from Isi we have Genesis (gene of Isi). This Ancestral mother was

    worshipped for many years and in different evolutionary names e.g. Madonna, Maria-

    Amune (daughter of herod, Doreh?), Mary Magdalene and Sybil [Sybil, could be a

    corruption of Isi Obiren or Obirin, i.e. Isi is a woman] [Isi waador, Igbe waador] all

    took her characteristics before Constantine and his supporters suppressed her worship.

    We still have her heritage in Churches today and whilst in France , Paris was

    dedicated or named after her Temple i.e. Paris . This means in Urhobo, Opo of Isi, in

    Yoruba, Opar of Isi, equals to Par isi and later Temples was built for her in many

    places in Europe and the Mediterranean which also transformed into Churches today.

    Remember that most of the Urhobo names where changed to Yoruba in ancient Egypt

    when the dynasty changed hands during the inception of the 18th dynasty or earlier. Inother words, Izu or Isi might be the same Great Mother that Dr. Osume is referring

    to.

    Furthermore, intermarriages could cause the change of Isi to Izu. The Levites who

    lived alongside the Nile and opposite side of Amon could be a source of cultural mix

    among Urhobo, Izon, Itsekiri and others who co-inhabited Ancient Egypt. We have

    names like Butulezi, Tutu , Zimbabwe , Zambia , and Zambezi . But coming down to

    earth in Nigeria , the Izu could well identify with Ibo who share the same cultural

    costume of Red Hat and garments with Okpe. There are names like Ozuzu in Igbo

    language. But the name Igboze strikes a chord in my mind that there are situations

    whereby people have to run and this involves the Igbos and Urhobos which is why we

    have Onodje and Orodje. Being that as it may, the Benin Royalty is having Uku

    Akpolokpolo meaning (in Yoruba and Urhobo) the great world has driven another

    world away. This becomes poignant when we remember that the Oba of Benin in his

    thank you tour after Corronation, went to the length of Nigeria but never reached

    Urhobo Land . So, how can people be related yet lives so widely apart.

    But in reality, the Okpe language stands out and away from the Benin which is mixed

    with Yoruba. People are always in resonance and harmony with what they wear in

    relation to the ancestral culture. Okpe Chieftaincy attire is bright red and Uvwie is

    white. These are representative in Ancient Egypt as Upper Egypt and Lower Egyptrespectively. The Benin Royalty is attired in both Red and White thereby denoting

    unification of Upper and Lower Egypt in the past. But did Benin Royalty unify us in

    the past? That is subject to more investigation.

    THE SPHINX

    The Lions Dr. Osume is proud of but ignorantly claiming to be of Benin , is actually

    of Urhobo origin. The Sphinx is the main Aka with other smaller ones adorning the

    Temples and Pyramids of Egypt. Under the Pyramids and the Sphinx is where our

    ancestors learn the mysteries and perform rituals to God almighty. The culture was

    stolen by the freemasons and they claim that an Ancient Egyptian Sage known asOrme bequeath it on them. Orme is an Urhobo name for mine and that is exactly what

  • 7/31/2019 Get Off the Backs of My Children

    18/22

    18

    Michael Baigent et al said is the meaning of Orme in their book. The Egyptians in this

    mystery school of Esiri performs rituals under the Lion (Sphinx, Aka) and this the

    Freemasons symbolically perform as gripping the lions arm. Orme and later Ormius

    which means OURS was clearly explained in Holy Blood, and Holy Grail page 123,

    by Michael Baigent et al that, it is of Ancient Egypt. The Benin only lived in Avaris

    for a certain time after invading Ancient Egypt but were driven out by King Ahmose(Urhobo name for children of one father). This is where they embraced the name

    Aka for the first time because Avaris was originally Zevbaka and this name much

    sound like Okpe which means Run to the safety of Aka the Lion.

    So, the Aka which is lion is not originally Benins but of Urhobo.

    Painfully, the smarting of Dr. Osume could not give us the identifiable history of

    Okpe which he traced to Benin whilst in his boasting that he can reasonably trace our

    genealogical line from a common parentage, i.e. from Igboze to Okpe and to the four

    quarters, i.e. Adene Okpe.

    THE BENINS ARE THE HYKSOS (OGISOS)

    As I have said in the past; the Ogisos are the Hyksos. The Ogisos and later Benins

    came from the root of Jacob (Uyakoba, Yakoob, Yakub aal). It is likely that their entry

    or invasion into Egypt and joining the children of Esau (Esiri) may coincide with the

    eruption of the Thera Volcano- (But could this also coincide with the anachronistic

    naming of Abrams father as Tera?). This becomes obvious in their mythical world

    creation story that sounded almost the same as that of the Yoruba. (See both Yoruba

    and Benin stories above).

    Indeed, the Hyksos was roughly contemporaneous with a period of global cooling,

    which may have been caused by a massive volcanic explosion spewing large amounts

    of dust into upper atmosphere. The massive eruption of Thera has been dated to 1628

    BCE using tree-ring records, although historians prefer to date the eruption to circa

    1500BCE. David Rohl dates the beginning of early Hyksos period to circa 1450 BCE

    Following the exodus of the Israelites

    (http://www.mystae/restricted/streams/thera/exodus.htm/#1kings). The receding water

    of the volcanic wave will definitely leave Sea shells, fishes and other marine life for

    birds to pick and this might have been used to transform in symbolic form the story

    heralding a new life in a new environment after a deluge.

    It was Josehpus Flavius who stated that the whole nation styled themselves Hyksos

    using sacred dialect with the aspiration of Egyptian tongue which means Shepherd

    Kings. That, the first syllable Hyk means King whilst Sos means Shepherd.

    (Against Apion, Josephus Flavius, page 1:14). Is this not same as Kings of the Sky

    which the Benins call Ogie-So? Josephus further re-iterate that, Hyksos is derived

    from Egyptian words Hekau-rulers and Khaswet-foreign hill neighborhood and that,

    the Egyptians had used this term since the middle kingdom to describe normadic

    Chieftains on the North eastern border (Ibid, with my emphasis).

    If the Egyptians (Urhobos) had used Hekau-rulers [eka people](King Shepherds) and

    Khaswet-foreign hill dwellers to describe this people then they are the Uzebu ofBenin. For, the Uzebus are known as Cattle Rearers in Benin history. The Urhobo on

    the other hand know them as Idjebu people while in Yoruba language, they are known

    as Ijebu. That brings the question, could this be the original occupation of the Benins

    in time past but with time they relinquish it when they saw greener pastures?

    In other to get to the root of this, I have used the sacred Egyptian text of language to

    decipher Hyksos and this is the result below.

    The sacred language is actually Evba (Evwa, Ifa). And Hekau is a text and name from

    Evba but both Evba text and name were taken over by the formation of Hebrew

    language which comprises African, Palestinian and Greek Languages. Eka the Evba

    Egyptian word becomes Ogisoic word of Hekau when it was transformed into Yoruba

    and Urhobo-mixed word. This Ogisoic word of Hekau later was transformed to Hykso

    the Hebrew and the sacred evba became known also later as Zohar, Torah and

    Tarot. It is during this transformation of words that Evwurun (Ephron, Ephrun) was

    said to be the Son of Zohar, who is the Hitite that is in the front of Mamre

    (Ekpan)[Genesis 25:9] Zoh means come in Hausa, Ra means come in Uvwie.

    Pronounce Ar which is in front of Zohar backward and you will get come come.Indeed, the Uvwie people call the Moon Amon from Omeramon. Amon means it is

    coming. The Zoh hereby indicate our journey from Egypt through Hausa land. i.e. our

    coming from Egypt.

    Using Evba or Equidistant letter sequencing; the alphabets below are changed or

    swapped with interchangeable Greek and African alphabets.

    African O

    remain O

    African G

    African I

    Greeky

    African S

    remain S

    African O

    becomes

    GreekH

    H Y K S O

    When decoded in a mirror image, it will read HSYKO. Using ELS sequencing of

    IHVH (Code of God, and Iyevwe, Iyehowa and Jehovah); i.e. I stand for Father, H

    stands for Mother and V stands for Child, the Y in HSYKO which is also I is

    brought back besides H, and S is put in front of K to read HYKSO, for, these

    alphabets have numerical associations and works in harmony of seniority. This is

    exactly how Evba or Ifa and Zohar (Oracle) works. Evba (Ifa, Voodoo) works inBinary numbers.

    The long and short of this analysis is that; either the Benins are part of Idjebu ethnic

    group of Yoruba or they assimilated the Idjebus or were intermarried.

    MOSES (AKHENATEN) AND AARON (HOREMHOBO)

    I dont know If Reverend Osume was prevaricating or totally ignorant of the fact that

    if any scholar is to be spurious; it is only in the invention of religion that such

    soubriquets can be found especially in the Roman Church. Mixing Political struggle

    with religious oppression is not alien to the church. Constantine in 325 AD

    onwards did steal our history, kill some of his family members and others to actualize

    himself on the throne of Rome. In that struggle, his supporters and

    Biblical scribes wrote our history upside down as historical accounts of the Bible but

    there is no historical evidence of these beneficiaries in history to support the

    manipulated accounts (Tutu-ankh-amon; Moustafa Gadalla, page 104, some are myemphasis).

    Dr. Osume questioned the time-line of Moses and Akhenaten, Horemhobo, Aaron and

    their historiography that are separated with over a century apart. Be that as it may;

    how can the Reverend explain the fact that despite the hard work of Biblical

    Scholars; historians and archaeologists, no single piece of evidence has been found to

    support the period of the supposed united monarchy of David and Solomon. Scholars

    have been confused by the biblical chronology which presents David and Solomon as

    having belonged to the period following both the exodus and the settlement in the

    promise land (Ibid, page 1).

    The Reverend can probably explain this scenario of no one knows the Tomb or grave

    of Moses; so was the case of Akhenaten. (B) Moses life and religion match precisely

    with those of Akhenaten (1367-1361 BC). (C) King Davids war accounts match

    precisely with those of King Tuthmosis the third (1490-1436 BC), (D) King

    Solomons life and lack of wars match precisely with those of King Amenhotep the

    third (1436-1413 BC)(Ibid, page 84).

    He also argued that Moses and Aaron departed the scene long before Akhenaten and

    Horemhobo appeared on the scene. Since the plagiarizers anachronistically used the

    history of Tuthmosis and Amenhotep for David and Solomon respectively, is it not

    also convenient for them to use the history of Akhenaten and Horemhobo for Moses

    and Aaron anachronistically? After-all, knowledgeable Egyptians have been

    massacred and others driven away from Egypt and their Libraries destroyed. Lets

    have a look on the table below to see how many years separates Akhenaten (Moses)

    and Aaron (Horemhobo).

    From the above table, it is clear that the difference between Akhenaten (Moses) and

    Horemhobo (Aaron) is only thirteen years.

    Historians, archaeologists and Egyptologists has agreed with my position that Aaron

    is the same person as Horemhobo as seen below:

    three names that was inscribed in the cartouche of Horemhobo reveals the three

    characters of Aaron, Miriam his sister and Miriams son Horus and this confirms that

    Aaron is indeed Pharaoh Horemhobo (Secrets of the Exodus; Messod and Roger

    Sabbah, page 127)

    These two authors also cited Claude Vandersleyen that Hor (Hor, is therefore

    Uroh, because the Ancient Egyptians writes from right to left and the first or last

    vowels are removed) was Horemhobos proper name until the Greeks messed it

    up by adding S to become Horus. (Ibid)

    ON SPURIOUS AFFIRMATIONS

    Finally, It is important to address the language Reverend Dr. Charles Osume used to

    categorize my work. I refute the appellation he gave me especially when it comes to

    serious issues as ethnicity and ancestral origins. If anybody or groups are to be

    spurious in their works, the Church is legendary. And here I will prove it by citing a

    little of the many lies the Church has invented.

    Shortly after the closing of the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, a forged reference to

    Jesus Christ appeared in Josephus records and it is today called the testimony of

    Flavius (Antiquities, xv111, ch. 3, Testimonium Flavianum). Theologians later

    discovered that it was Bishop Eusebius who forged the passages after the latter owned

    up to re-writing a copy of Josephus works in 329 AD. Eusebius admitted by saying

    this words It is an act of Virtue to deceive and lie, when by such means the interests

    of the church might be promoted (Ecclesiastical History, Eusebius, Vol. 1, pages

    381-382), also in (The Twin Deception; Tony Bushby, page 82).

    Not too long after Emperor (Emperor for Empirical data), Constantine had invented

    Christianity from his lineage by democratically electing to use Jesus and Chrestus to

    be the Roman God, Pope Damasus offered Jerome a contract to restructure the Bible

    which became the Vulgate. In a letter to Pope Damasus, Jerome wrote It was useless

    to correct the New Testament, for versions of scripture which already exist in thelanguage of others show that their additions are false. In other words, Pope Damasus

    had asked Jerome to corrupt the Bible and this was confirmed by the Catholic

    Encyclopedia of its refutal of the virgin birth as events not based on fact thus:

    There seems to be no doubt that the infancy narratives of Matthew and Luke were

    later additions to the original body of apostolic Catechesis (New Catholic

    Encyclopedia, 1967 Ed. Vol. x1v, page 693), also in (The Twin Deception, Tony

    Bushby, page 201)

    The comment of Pope Leo X really sum it up during an Easter Friday banquet.

    Holding a chalice of wine in the air, he toasted by saying:

  • 7/31/2019 Get Off the Backs of My Children

    22/22

    22

    How well we know what a profitable superstition this fable of Christ has been for us

    and our predecessors (Ibid, page 239).

    From this journey so far, I believe one hundred percent that I have proved beyond

    reasonable doubt that the Okpe people are Urhobo but not Benin. That Urhobo people

    once owned Aka which is known today as Benin. The Benins on the other hand arechildren of Oduduwa also known as Izoduwa which may be the same person as

    Asaduwa who married an Urhobo Woman. The Okpe people cannot be children of

    Benin who are their cousins. That the history of Okpe predates Benin in the dynasty

    of Mena the second King of Egypt. In Uvwie we say Mi rireni, and in Urhobo of

    Agbaroh dialect I say Mi yenrovwan which means I greet you all.
