The Phenomenon Of Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah: One Nigerian Too Many, By John Okafor C.

The Nigerian historians can put aside their reference materials. This is new. Nigeria has never seen anything like the Ifeanyi Ubah phenomenon.


There is no longer any doubt that the Ifeanyi Ubah phenomenon is real. Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah’s philanthropic, entrepreneurial, and democratic cum patriotic acts, discounted as fanciful and naïve by skeptics drew millions of Nigerians to stand with a man who is selflessly trying to help build a new type of Nigeria for Nigerians.
But for all the talk of Nigerian Philanthropy and patriotism, it’s just one of the factors driving the Ifeanyi Ubah phenomenon. The simple truth is that just very few Nigerians in politics, in the news media or anywhere else realized what an extraordinary Nigerian Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah is.

People are lining up to believe in him, his Oil deregulation stance, and his approach to Nigerian system of governance. He has the easy demeanor of someone who’s comfortable with himself. He has the cadences that remind you of King but the foresight that reminds you of Martin Luther King (junior, not Senior.)

But the truth is that there are reasons why Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah is a phenomenon, and one of them is that his political and business intelligence is so keen that he knows when unreality best serves his ends. Business intelligence is as distinct and intuitive a gift as any of the other kinds of intelligence, the situational intelligence of the athlete or the analytic intelligence of the intellectual, and a large component of business intelligence lies in being faithful to your own fictions

The phenomenon in question is this: the intense desire of every human being on this planet to overcome and transcend the materialism and selfishness that shape the global economic arrangements and permeate the consciousness of all people, to overcome the looking-out-for-number one consciousness that divides us and the technocratic language that shapes our public institutions and denies us access to our common humanity, and to overcome the alienation from each other that this way of being has created so that we might once again recognize each other as embodiments of God or Spirit (or however you want to talk about the force-field of goodness, generosity, kindness, justice, peace, nonviolence, and care for each other and nature and the entirety of all that is)

The phenomenon of Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah cannot be taken out of the context of the history of African economic development and philanthropism, the Nigerian Experiment and the continual coalescence of global society. 

So who is this man, Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah? That question can be answered in a multitude of ways. One of which is to look at where he has come from.

Now, to travel a bit further down the rabbit hole. Concurrent to the themes of economic, political and socio-cultural domination, it is necessary to examine another, even more fantastic aspect of the current stream of alternative thought in regards to the phenomenon of the Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah’s rise to prominence. It becomes necessary to engage the higher dimensional and spiritual aspects of our illusory, holographic reality and to synthesize this information in the search for a new and deeper understanding of how the cabals, the character assassinators believe his image to be currently delineated. 

It is difficult to judge great destinies in the Times in which they are being lived. There are so many examples of this across the span of history. The impact that individuals even under the force of compulsion from other interests have upon our collective fate and destiny. How Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah is seen by many people is not necessarily indicative of what is truly occurring. 

The darkest manipulations of these cabals and character assassinators cannot come to fruition. Issues of destruction of the Ifeanyi Ubah phenomenon is part and parcel of the potential employment of this hoard of data-points that is swirling around in the backwaters of the collective world consciousness in regards to who and what this man truly is. In the effort to tarnish his image and bring his reputation, every possible outcome must have been explored.  

The very idea of Ifeanyi Ubah’s going “off the reservation” and raising an army of transformation ambassadors, the very idea of  raising a national question and issues of Oil deregulation against the machinations of the Oil Cabals must be giving his nominal foes conniption fits, and may in fact be causing them to lean toward pushing the “self-destruct” button, which may indeed be why all of the information in regards to Ifeanyi Ubah’s questionable bonafides moves with ever-increasing rapidity toward mainstream public consumption.

But, the image-destroyers are also increasingly realizing, to their dismay, that pushing that button may set off events that they have no way of controlling in any way, shape, form or fashion except through the most draconian of their alternative plans which will fail on arrival as their orientation and intent is not in alignment with the Light.

It is a direct expression of the fundamental teachings of all mystical systems that nothing comes without cost. That you can game the system but you must eventually pay it out. They recognize that their oppositional energies have gained force and momentum in the past few years and yet that their victory is not assured. The previously assured stance they projected leading up to last few years has been shattered by recent events and so the prospect of actually going through with it, destroying Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, releases so much energy and can result in so many unpredictable factors coming into play, they cannot be at all certain that it would pan out according to their plans.

And that is good news for Nigerians, a manifest through the collective consciousness of all of good conscience who desire a Nigeria of justice, peace and equity, in action. A Nigeria that allows competition, a Nigeria that believes that all must be secured if any is to be preserved. Such is the Phenomenon of Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah.
