Is man a scavenger or an image of God? By Rev Fr Paul Ikechukwu OGUJIOFFOR Thursday 17^th September 2015

I look up at those heavens of thine, the work of thy hands, at the moon and the stars, which thou hast set in their places; what is man that thou shouldst remember him? What is Adam’s breed, that it should claim thy care? Thou hast placed him only a little below the angels, crowning him with glory and honour, and bidding him rule over the works of thy hands.- Quoni am videbo cælos tuos, opera digitorum tuorum, lunam et stellas quæ tu fundasti. Quid est homo, quod memor es ejus? aut filius hominis, quoniam visitas eum? Minuisti eum paulominus ab angelis; gloria et honore coronasti eum; et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum Ps.8:4-7. Again, Lord, what is Adam’s race, that thou givest heed to it, what is man, that thou carest for him? Like the wind he goes, like a shadow his days pass. Domine, quid est homo, quia innotuisti ei? aut filius hominis, quia reputas eum? Homo vanitati similis factus est; dies ejus sicut umbra prætereunt Ps.144:3-4.

Contemplating on these passages of the Psalms, I find it difficult to reconcile some actions of man. Some men/boys in the search for their ‘personal comforts’ make themselves equal and same with scavenger or some beasts or animals that act on such manners. What joy or comfort is there in the action of man licking the faeces of women/girls? What and where is human joy/comfort in man drinking the urine of women/girls? Some keep it overnight in the fridge and drink them afterwards. Is this a urine therapy from you as an individual and particular person? Is man possessed or obsessed of faeces-phrenic and urine-phrenic? What is man turning himself to be in search of personal comfort? A scavenger as we know is an organism [as vulture or hyena, et cetera] that usually feeds on dead or decaying matters or carcasses.

Woman, what do you ever think of your man when he tells you that he will use his tongue to clean your anus after defecating? What do you think of him when he uses his tongue to clean your urethra? Why do you afterwards allow him to kiss you on your tongue afterwards? Are you not participating in the scavenger syndrome by kissing him about? Is this part of love to you, and that he loves everything about you? Please Mr. Right with highest act of love manifestation and Mrs. Intelligent and free woman lover, give this a thought. Try also, to share with others, and listen to what they will tell you about your so-called scavenger kind of love showing. Woman, do you think you are sound with and in love as you allow your biological waste materials [faeces and urine] become an element of showing love to you? Are you not the same as him when you keep quiet and enjoy that scavenger attitude to you?

What is joyful and grateful to a man/boy who in search of greener pastures dehumanize or debase himself by counting census on top of women who supposed to be his mother/grandmother, just because such woman requested from him a so-called ‘natural and fresh strong blood’? When do you think you will make use of the money from the greener pastures? Some go back home to pick a wife from the village introducing millions of strange things/virus/diseases inside this poor and innocent girl, rendering her invalid, some transferred such invalidity to their children.

Please my beloved people, let us stop and think a while for we are special children of God, his images, and not a scavenger. Oh, God if you will count on our sins who will survive, help us by your grace that we may also work and search for your face in all moments of our life. Let us always resist the occasions, which may lead us into being scavengers instead of your images, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
