“The Last Drumbeat” – A Soldier Who Never Danced Home Again


“The Last Drumbeat” – A Soldier Who Never Danced Home Again

His name was Staff Sergeant Chinedu Nkemakonam.

To his village, he was the boy who always danced first at every masquerade festival.

To the Nigerian Army, he was a fearless fighter — the man who never let a single bullet scare him.

But to his wife, Amaka…

He was just “Nedu” — the husband who never stopped smiling, even when he was tired from battle.

The call came on a Friday.

Troops were needed urgently to back up men pinned down near the Sambisa axis.

He packed quickly. Hugged his twin sons. Gave Amaka a note sealed in nylon.

“If I don’t come back, open this.”

She slapped his chest playfully, laughing through her tears:

“Stop that, Nedu! You’ll come back. You always do.”

He smiled. He always smiled.

The operation was brutal.

A hidden IED tore through their Hilux.

Shrapnel hit three soldiers.

Chinedu was the last man standing.

He radioed for air support, dragged one bleeding corporal behind cover, and kept firing…

…until he didn’t.

When reinforcements arrived, they found Chinedu slumped over his radio — hand still clutching the mic.

“Enemy approaching from the east… hold line… I repeat—”

And that was his last transmission.

Three days later.

A knock on Amaka’s door.

Three officers in dress uniform.

One folded flag.

She knew.

She opened the nylon he gave her. Inside was a letter written in ink and rain-stained fingerprints:

“If you’re reading this, Amaka, it means I didn’t make it home. But I died for you. For our boys. For this land we call Nigeria. Tell Chisom and Ebuka that their father was a warrior. And tell Mama… I’ll see her again in the land of ancestors.”

Today, in the compound of Chinedu’s family house, his mother still beats the ogene (metal gong) every evening — not in celebration, but in mourning.

And his twin boys?

They now wear little wooden necklaces carved with the letters “SN” — for Sergeant Nedu.

And when anyone asks who their father was, they say:

 “Our father danced into battle… and never stopped until the music faded.”

He was a son, a father, a fighter. And now, a name carried by the wind.

Switched at birth


Switched at birth

A nurse, Elizabeth Mwewa confessed to swapping close to 5000 babies between 1983 and 1995 in UTH where she worked in the maternity ward for 12 years. She confessed on her sick bed while dying of terminal cancer. Sad part is, she said she did it for fun.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14mNjh2YvU/

Have you taken your baby to school and they came back wearing the wrong clothes, swapped belongings or had eaten another baby’s food? If your response is Yes, then things like this are probably possible in hospitals with high delivery rate.

Google AI reports up to 500,000 babies are at risk of going home with the wrong parents each year. This can be due to – human error, inadequate systems or misfortune.

After I had my son, I heard of nurses who are paid by couples or other mothers to switch babies either due to wanting a particular sex, special needs babies, or dead babies.

That story messed up my head for a long time, says ndidiazaah




There’s a story in India where the switched babies now grown, refused to be switched back to their birth parents

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-42743982

MY THOUGHTS…

In the case of a DNA that shows a man is not the father of the child, yet the woman claims strongly that the spouse is the father, a DNA test should also be conducted for the mother. Tests for both parents should be conducted in at least 2 hospitals or labs.

If parents can afford it, DNA test should be done within the first 2 months of having the baby but conducted in a different hospital or lab.

Families should insist on having a trusted person present during delivery that follows the baby; if possible tag or mark the baby (marker) until the baby is formally handed over to the parents.

It should be a punishable offence by law, to KNOWINGLY give a man, another man’s child.

What do you think? This is a global issue sadly but more prevalent in some areas.

Joseph Mattera explores the Trinity’s implications (perichoresis) for governance, society, families, and business, emphasizing unity in diversity and relational harmony.


The Implications of the Trinity: Exploring the Perichoresis of God Part 2 by JOSEPH MATTERA

Theology

The Trinity’s Impact on Human Government, Plurality, and Harmony in Society

The doctrine of the Trinity, particularly through the lens of perichoresis (mutual indwelling and dynamic unity), offers profound insights into human governance, societal structures, and relational harmony. It addresses the tension between the One and the Many—unity and diversity—and provides a model for harmonious interaction within families, businesses, and communities. Here are the key ways the Trinitarian framework can shape and impact these spheres:

The Trinity and Human Government: A Model for Unity in Diversity

The Trinity exemplifies a perfect balance between unity and plurality. In the Godhead, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct persons with unique roles, yet share a single essence and will. This dynamic provides a theological basis for understanding how governments can embrace plurality while maintaining unity.

Unity of Purpose: Governments can reflect the Trinity by fostering shared values and goals (e.g., justice, peace, and human flourishing) while allowing for diversity in representation and expression.

Plurality of Roles: Just as each person of the Trinity plays a distinct role, governmental structures should recognize and respect the unique contributions of individuals, regions, and societal institutions.

When governments prioritize unity without erasing or promoting diversity without abandoning shared purpose, they reflect the relational harmony of the triune God.

Balancing the One and the Many in Society

The philosophical problem of the One and the Many—how unity and diversity coexist—is resolved in the Trinity. This balance has implications for human society:

Community and Individuality: The Trinity shows that individuality and community are not opposed but interdependent. Societies thrive when individuals are valued for their unique contributions while working toward the common good.

Authority and Cooperation: In the Trinity, there is both authority (e.g., the Father sending the Son) and cooperation (e.g., the Spirit empowering the Son). This dynamic provides a model for leadership and collaboration within societal structures.

A Trinitarian vision avoids extremes like totalitarianism (unity at the expense of diversity) and anarchism (diversitywithout unity).

Harmony in Families: The Trinity as a Relational Ideal

The relational nature of the Trinity provides a powerful model for family life:

Mutual Love and Respect: The Father, Son, and Spirit honor and glorify one another in perfect love (John 17:1). Similarly, families thrive when members practice self-giving love, mutual respect, and humility.

Distinct Roles in Unity: In the Trinity, distinct roles (e.g., Father as Creator, Son as Redeemer, Spirit as Sanctifier) do not diminish equality. Likewise, family members can embrace their unique roles (e.g., parents and children) while valuing one another’s equal worth.

Families reflecting the Trinitarian model prioritize both individual needs and collective well-being, fostering an environment of harmony and growth.

Trinitarian Principles in Business

Businesses can also reflect the unity and diversity of the Trinity:

Shared Vision and Goals: Just as the Trinity acts in unity with a shared purpose, successful organizations align their efforts toward common objectives. A clear mission fosters unity across departments and teams.

Diversity of Gifts and Contributions: The Trinity celebrates diversity in action (e.g., the Father planning, the Son accomplishing, the Spirit applying redemption). Similarly, businesses should value diverse skill sets, perspectives, and contributions, recognizing that variety strengthens the whole.

Relational Leadership: A Trinitarian approach to leadership emphasizes relationship over hierarchy, prioritizing collaboration, servant leadership, and mutual empowerment. Businesses that embrace these principles create cultures of innovation, trust, and shared success.

Community Structures: The Trinity as the Blueprint for Harmony

The relational and cooperative dynamic of the Trinity provides a blueprint for harmonious communities:

Interdependence: Communities thrive when individuals and groups recognize their interdependence. The Trinity shows that no person or group exists in isolation; each contributes to and benefits from the whole.

Unity Amid Diversity: Communities can maintain unity despite cultural, ethnic, or ideological diversity by focusing on shared values, just as the Trinity is united in love and purpose.

Conflict Resolution: The Trinity’s self-giving love serves as a model for resolving conflicts. Communities can overcome division and foster peace by prioritizing humility, reconciliation, and mutual understanding.

The Trinitarian vision calls for communities to embrace both unity and diversity, cultivating environments where all can flourish.

Theological Foundations for Leadership and Authority

The Trinity provides a theological framework for understanding leadership:

Servant Leadership: The Son demonstrates leadership through self-sacrifice and service (Philippians 2:5–8). Leaders in any sphere—government, family, business—should emulate this example by prioritizing the well-being of those they serve.

Shared Authority: Just as authority is shared within the Trinity, leadership structures should encourage collaboration and delegation rather than centralized control. This model fosters trust, accountability, and mutual respect in leadership.

Justice and Equity: Lessons from the Trinity

The relational equality of the Trinity inspires principles of justice and equity in societal structures:

Equality in Value: Though the Father, Son, and Spirit have distinct roles, they are equal in essence and dignity. Similarly, all individuals should be treated with equal value and respect, regardless of their societal role or status.

(This does not mean that everyone should impose their ideology on society. True unity honors diversity without compromising truth. Just as the triune God embodies perfect harmony in distinct persons, a flourishing society must uphold values rooted in God’s moral order—values that affirm human dignity, justice, and love. While all voices deserve respect, only those value systems aligned with biblical ethics can sustain the flourishing that reflects God’s design for humanity.)

Fairness in Distribution: Just as the Trinity operates in perfect balance, societal systems should strive for fairness in opportunities, resources, and responsibilities.

Justice rooted in the Trinity promotes dignity, fairness, and harmony.

Creativity and Collaboration

The Trinity’s creative activity (e.g., in Genesis 1:1–2) highlights the power of collaboration:

Creativity in Diversity: The triune God demonstrates that diversity enriches creativity. Teams and communities that embrace different perspectives and talents produce innovative solutions.

Shared Work and Joy: The Trinity works in joyful unity, revealing that collaboration is productive and deeply fulfilling.

Creativity rooted in Trinitarian principles leads to flourishing in art, business, and problem-solving.

The Role of Self-Giving Love in All Structures

At the heart of the Trinity is self-giving love. This love should shape every human institution:

In Families: Parents and children reflect the Trinity when they prioritize each other’s needs above their own.

In Businesses: Organizations thrive when leaders serve employees and customers with generosity and integrity.

In Governments: Policies rooted in self-giving love prioritize the well-being of citizens over personal or partisan gain.

Self-giving love transforms relationships, making them reflect the character of God.

Toward a Trinitarian Society

Ultimately, the doctrine of the Trinity offers a vision for a society where unity and diversity coexist in harmony:

Unity Without Uniformity: Societies can remain united without suppressing individuality or diversity.

Diversity Without Division: Differences can be celebrated without fracturing relationships.

By reflecting the relational nature of the Trinity, human societies can overcome division, foster peace, and pursue shared flourishing.

When we allow this vision to shape our structures and interactions, we reflect the glory of the triune God, creating a society marked by justice, peace, and relational flourishing.

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝔼𝕊𝕊𝔸𝔾𝔼:

The Oxford dictionary says that honour means “to regard someone with great respect or high esteem.” The word honour means “to esteem and value as precious.” To honour someone is to value him or her highly, to bestow value on him or her. Without complete and genuine honour to your parents, it will be impossible to honour anyone else.

The fifth commandment states, “Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee” (Exodus 20:12). The relationship with your parents is so significant that it is the first earthly relationship addressed in the commandments and it is the only one that comes with a blessing from God.

So, anytime you are not obeying your parents, or not giving them honour, it means you are displeasing the Lord. If you want to please the Lord, you must honour your parents.

You can find a good example in the Bible – our Lord Jesus Christ. You will discover that Jesus honoured His earthly parents even though they were not perfect. In the book of Luke 2:41 -51, you see that Jesus followed His parents to Jerusalem to worship, but when they were going back, Jesus stayed behind and was listening to the scribes. The parents assumed that he must be part of the company on the journey, and they had gone a day’s journey before they discovered that Jesus was not with them. They turned back and looked for Jesus for three days, before they found Him in the temple. They said, “Son, why did you treat us like this?” He replied, “Don’t you know that I should be about my Father’s business?” He got up and followed them and was subject to them. That is Jesus Christ. This shows you the importance of honouring your parents.

A friend told me her mum died of hunger last year! I wanted to laugh, but when I saw she was serious, I had to comport my self.

She said they kept making excuses:

“What does mum need money for?”

Everything she wanted was in the farm, behind their house, she just needed to walk into the farm, harvest and cook.

“But Sis XYX and Bro. ABC sent her money the other day”

“Mummy should be reasonable in her spending Ooo! Times are hard!”

When she died they discovered she had not cooked for the longest time. Her kitchen and utensils were covered in dust and cobwebs. Lizards’ feces littered the whole place. Not even a single grain of any food stuff was found in that house.

During the burial of a woman that died of hunger, people ate and drank, and her mother was survived by 12 Children.

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
