An Igbo cultural leader, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, has revealed that Nigeria is plagued with the spirits of fallen heroes who have not been given befitting burial and thus have chosen to torment the nation.
Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, the founder of Ogilisi Foundation while speaking on Monday in Awka revealed that most of Nigeria’s problems were caused by the spirits of unremembered Biafra’s fallen heroes.
While speaking to Igbo youths, encouraging them to remember the victims of the Nigeria civil war, the cultural leader noted that there is nothing wrong in remembering loved ones provided such actions were carried out peacefully.
He said: “Great countries of this world like the U.S., Japan, Israel, Korea, Taiwan, Britain, Brazil, France, Vatican and the Catholic church have never failed to remember the souls of people that died during wars or tragedies every year.
“Unless you have assessed to see and know what happens in Astral World it will be difficult for the mundane people of the world to know how happy the demised souls feel when they are being remembered in the physical world.
“I have been the architect of recommending to the Igbo’s to perform the befitting burial of Biafra war heroes and I am happy that Gov. Willie Obiano of Anambra performed the ceremony at Awka on Jan. 12, 2015.
“I advise other governors of the civil war affected states to do the same by establishing epitaphs in their capital cities.
“All of us are souls that live in the physical and spiritual world whenever the soul passes unto spiritual world it becomes mandatory that the people of the earth must appease the spirits or else they may decide to possess the people of the earth to cause confusion.
“As a spiritual leader of Igbo nation, I see nothing wrong with the remembrance of Biafra war heroes and children that died during those sad days of our nation’s history.
“I pray it will bring healing in our land and advise that everything that shall be done for the remembrance on 30th of May must be done prayerfully and not as street protests.”
