The re-emergence of the craven phoenix

The packs of hyenas and jackals had eaten up the Phoenix, it was claimed; or had been abducted and caged or given the costa nostra type of eternal silence. It was alleged that some traitorous agric-chickens and traitorous carcass loving vultures had sold out the hero and frustrated the ritual to make the sun shine again in the East.

The Re-emergence

Eleven generation of moons after, the Hogwart trained Phoenix had emerged in the City of David, white feathered, covered with a Tallit shawl and a Kippa skull cap, crying at the Wailing Wall, a solemn spectacle by a sanctimonious craven swindler.

It put a call through to its Sophist parrot that had sued and sued the authority for allegedly abducting it’s Client, and also called the gap-toothed Chronicler of Fulbetocracy, and showing solidarity to EFCC guest of honour whose story of government house to detention is one good story for another day; these creations of God were strong advocates of the deceit that the firebrand Phoenix had been abducted and caged in the Ninja Hyenna’s den, or killed.

The Sermon

On the digital summit of its movement, the transmigrated phoenix delivered its Sunday rabbinical sermon: lamenting the death of Jack without honouring the fallen blessed sons of Chukwu Okike Abiama whom it motivated to embrace death; nor did it refer to its comrades festering in jail who had no better lies to escape the watchful eyes of the “Kangaroo judge”.

“I had to leave” it revealed, ashamed to tell them he fled like a thief and coward it is, probably dressed like a woman; vowed it did not “jump” bail, but had teleported to freedom a necessary move for he dare not trust the justice of the Kangaroo, in fact was most compelled as the the python dance tour neared his neighbourhood which caused it great uneas.

It cursed the Zoo and vowed to return, promising to spit hell worse than the dragons of the Khalesi Targaryen. It was a crow that failed to elevate, to boost morale or compensate for the betrayal. It was an impotent incantation by an insincere phoenix incapable of compelling the sun to rise, not even Half of the Yellow Sun.

Unravelling the Phoenix

Its predecessor and mentor (now rival) called out its bluff, the Hindi trained Phoenix who had lost its flame after nine years of spitting flames, who after listening to the counsels of the grand-Phoenix of Nnewi to cool it bowels and had obeyed; antagonizes the Jewish parrot than the authorities.

He called the Jewish Phoenix a puppet of the Ninja Hyenas, allies in a conspiracy to frustrate the fortunes of the land of the rising sun and their aspiration for carving out an Eden in the Lugard created Hell. He called out the phoenix act of cowardize, the self-preservatory antics while urging others to sacrifice their lives – it’s a disgusting attributes of all the Phoenixes since the beginning of the struggle, and hustle!

Warning

This time the Phoenix’s renditions must not be ignored; it had perfected the Shekaw-ian conjuring trick, of resurrecting from obvious death, and probably had something up its sleeves that the promise of raining hell on the Zoodom must not be taken lightly.

The Transfiguration

Has the Phoenix got transfigured in the Holy Land, shading its colourful traditional feathers into saintly white – even the beards – becoming a god-king with Mosaic-like communion with Chukwu Okike Abiama who had assured it of the certainty of the promise land in its lifetime; initiated and revealed the mysteries of the Kaballah, given extensive training in the Joshua strategy and the Zionism Formulae of nation building from the impressive MOSAD academy, and promised to replicate the efficiency of same in the Zoo upon its return.

The phoenix, emboldened by his new status, began issuing Decrees without regard to the referendum it preaches, had forcefully merged the South-South and South-East into the Blessed Jewish State of West Africa – (we are aware of the Islamic State West Africa). And Dokubo the Rhino is silent, neither has the HRM Ateke has called the pompous phoenix to order.

The path of Freedom

The Phoenix is a loud mouth craven, but a skillful dribbler like Kanu, had the sagely aura of Owelle Nnamdi, and the hunger of a hustler and skimmer that it is. It cock-a-doddle-do about referendum by force of bullets and not pen is an empty act of bravado, advocating force and not tact for self-determination, yet had vanished at the crack of an AK47; leaving comrades and followers behind to suffer and die, and a king abandoning its kingdom.

Admonition

The Phoenix is a mere duck, its gut filled with ice and not fire, an opportunist fraudster exploiting aspirations and stirring sentiments to amassed wealth for itself while truncating the fortunes of the people he claimed to fight for, while his Messiah-hood claim must be disregarded for the fraud that it is, his vow to unleashed hell is real, its hatred for Peace, Unity and Progress is as fiery as the fire he promises – for it strives in that atmosphere.

The authorities of the Zoodom must boost up security against the promised invasion. And the offspring of Chukwu Okike Abiama must take the path of peaceful negotiation and agitation in their quest for a homeland, for terror as preached by the craven duck is not the way out.
