SIX REASONS UTURU GBUDUGBU CULTURAL FESTIVAL IS BLOODY

SIX REASONS UTURU GBUDUGBU CULTURAL FESTIVAL IS BLOODY

" IF YOUR CULTURE START HURTING YOU, KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT AT PEACE WITH YOUR ANCESTORS" - Batholomew Obienyi

Below are the very reasons different people are hurt in their culture without mercy.  Now let's use Uturu for instance. 

Must your culture hurts?

Here are the six inspired reasons the UTURU GBUDUGBU festival is bloody:

1. INABILITY TO FOLLOW ANCESTRY ORDER

In the beginning of days in Uturu land, it was Ena, the warrior King with many servants. Ena was favored, wise and righteous in the eyes of the gods and goddesses around his choosen settlement now called Uturu land. Ena carefully listened to the wise ones around him, obeyed his inner voice and followed his environmental elements and other spiritual sacrifices were performed including cleansing among his children between him and what he believes  in as his God(s). 

He finally dashed out of the world and handed over to his children the wealth within his reach especially to Uturu as the first son. This fatherly inheritances were maintained through following ancestry orders learned from the Father - Ena. Uturu grew up to became a warrior's son and fight many wars from disappointed friends and servants who turned in to be strong enemies. 

As an ordained son of the land, powers have been zooming out from the spiritual side in favour of Uturu to fight against unwanted evils that try to penetrate the land. The powers exist because orders are kept, followed and maintained. 

Many cultural activities were practiced in the olden days in Uturu as a kind of power tuzzles and merriment. It is a neglect to our forefathers that many of the orders are not followed. Even in heaven, order is the first principle.

2. MISCONCEPTION OF THE OLDEN DAYS BELIEFS

In the olden days in Uturu land, the people believes in signs and wonders from their environmental dwellings. It simply means, their beliefs is basically in the natural elements like; water-spirit, trees, snakes, stones etc, and know that the powers they use came from one big supernatural Being many called God.

A true Uturu son who is considered wise is one who follow traditions and understand the natural things or powers around him as a blessings from the Most High. Even hills, forest and other unimaginable backyards bees have purposes for  a true indigen of the land.

It is the misconception of our environmental powers that led to some if not many of our misfortunes today as Uturu people. This misconception has played a very big role in reshaping, damaging and reducing the blessings and happiness Uturians are destined to have from time in memorial of God's existence.

3. DRUGS EXPOSURE AT THE EARLIER STAGE

In Uturu land today, though hard drugs cannot be the core reason but as a part Uturu Ggbudugbu cultural festival maybe bloody. Nawadays, drugs intake are exposed to little children during gbudugbu festival as part of the culture in an open eye before the people. 

It is not like that in the olden days celebration of gbudugbu masquerades. This too, can be traced back as a sign of not obeying rules and procedures of doing things we learned from our forefathers who would be dead by now. 

As before, little children only observed, followed up, watche and sang songs for masquerades as they dance, bless people and earn money for their beautiful appearances under entertainment. 

It is abnormal to persuade little children to take in drugs mixtures inform of love shown to them. It is not good to use indirect way to initiate little children into dark occurt practices as if they are normal and reasonable. So many adults today are misleading little children as if we are in a competition of power among communities. This too, can make gbudugbu cultural festival to be bloody.

4. THE TYPE OF SONGS SANG

In the history book, Ena is a strong warrior and have fought and won many battles mentioned. Therefore, it could be said that Uturians inherited war songs from their forefathers. These war songs are mostly sanged during the gbudugbu cultural festival days. 

Though gbudugbu is not for war but it could be say that gbudugbu has two phases. One phase is for peace, unity, love, progress and blessings among the people. While the other phase is for war, and a show of individual strength inform of power exhibition. 

Blood or sweat, the gbudugbu cultural festival has a spirit and it's a spirit. The culture needs sacrifices. 

It is said: no pain no gain! When you are under a trap, either you distroy the trap and get out of it or you remain in the trap and surfers the pains and wounds it left you with. In a nurtshell,  stop the culture or live to experience more hurtful blood flow. Moreso, seriously start the sacrificial process as of before.

5. MONEY CONCIOUS

The culture is not met for money, rather it was for something else. It is one's work to find the meaning before perticipating in the gbudugbu cultural festival in Uturu. This too could be a reason many Christ believers don't do it.  

Many adults and unrealistic fellows thought that culture is money generated event but it is not. It is the misconception of this beautiful culture the problem not the culture itself and it could be enough reason why it can be bloody. Remember, a tooth for a tooth. Nothing goes for nothing.

6. INDIGENOUS DISCRIMINATION AMONG POLITICIANS 

In Uturu land today, people have grown in awareness mentally to know their stand either as a true bloodline of Ena or servants part of Ena. Because of this identification, there have been a kind of intelligent challenge among who is the original son among the servants since historical facts are missed with force ideology. 

It is only in politics that possession over rules truth.

Whether bloodline or not, truth cannot be hidden forever. Those Uturians who like conflicting ideas never owns enough. It is because of descrimpancy of who is a true son that many obstacles arises today in Uturu land. Many narrowed minded individuals now use gbudugbu cultural festival as a way of setting demacations among the people of Uturu in order to actualize their evil aims through cultural segregation. This too is enough to make Uturu gbudugbu cultural festival bloody. Thank you do much for reading up to this last lines. Please do leave a comment.
