Election time in the villages near Nakanai Range

We were so fortunate to be part of the teams that travel through Nakanai Range. Team 56 was my team. My presiding officer by the name of Mr. Noel Longeri was to lead our team for polling in the inland Pomio area. With him was our polling clark by the name of Moses Lova and I as our assistance presiding officer. It took us quite awhile traveling through Nakanai Range by a helicopter due to bad weather experienced within Pomio District. Our flight took us a long time. Instead of just crossing over from Palmalmal to Mile we took the direction of Lake Hargy  in West New Britain Province.  From Lake Hargy  we travelled east along what is known today as the Nakanai Range. We only ended our long journey when we reach Mile and Pakia the villages which were situated just under the foot of Nakanai Range. It was from there that we headed to our destination. Our flight stopped when we reach Muela. We landed at Muela Primary School and then the helicopter left. During the two weeks of polling  in Malboni, Muela and Lele in 2017 general election we witnessed the hardship the people of Nakanai Range were going through. They have to travel for two days on foot to reach the closest town. For them Bialla town in West New Britain Province was the closest though they were from East New Britain Province.

The first created beings in the Mengens legend.

Yes, yes good day everyone. I am now going to give you the legendary story of the first beings God has ever created in the Mengens context. Like the Bible, God our Father had done a great and excellent piece of work when he created the first beings using the earth.
Indeed the Superior Being known as God took the earth and made the first being by passing his own breathe. The being known to us as a man. God named him Adam. He put the man he created in charge of the huge garden of Eden where he had already created.
Though the man had all he wanted, God saw that he was still lonely. God felt sorry for him and decided to make the man happy so he made him sleep and took a rip from the side of the man and created a woman. He named the woman Eve. Then he woke the man and as soon as he was awaken he was surprised to see the woman. They lived together happily in the garden of Eden as best friends. That is what the Bible taught us. The garden of Eden is located somewhere in one of the Arab countries if I am correct.

How about the the created beings of the Mengens? The first creation took place in the home of the Mengens and that is here in Pomio District of Papua New Guinea.
Now let me take you to a ride to the Mengens version of the first created beings. God did create human beings in the legendary story of the Mengens of Pomio District in Papua New Guinea.
Yes the Mengens believe that God known to them as Natu also created two first beings. But what so different with the two stories is that the Bible taught us that he created a man and later a woman.

In the Mengens version he created two men as the first beings. God didn't create a man and a woman. But later he made changes to one of the men. The one he chose will be transformed into a woman later on as the story goes.

Want to know more? Okay this is how the story goes for the Mengens of Pomio District.
Both men lived together for a while but God knew there was still something missing. One of the men should become a woman so he chose the one he had marked to do him a favour. God asked them to get him some nuts up on a tree. They went off as instructed and the one he chose was ordered to climb the tree and pick the nuts. Before doing so God went ahead and placed a sharp object like a blade at the trunk of the tree. As the man climbed up he bypassed the object so God had to wait for his return after picking the nuts. BUT to God's surprise he did miss the sharp edge object when coming down.
So God decided to do it a second try. He waited and when the time came he send them off back to look for some nuts again. This time as he did climb the tree he ripped off his penis and further removed it completely when he tried to avoid it by returning to the bottom of the tree. A sudden transformation took place and the man completely became a woman. But the changes were only visible by God and not by the beings in anyway. They were both unconscious of the changes that took place. So God decided to test them further to make them fully aware of the changes he had done.
When evening came he asked them to fetch water so the beings set off for their task. God instructed the one he transformed to fetch water while the other had to wait at the river bank. The one who was already a woman took off to fetch water and as she was bending low to fetch she took the attention of the man waiting at the river bank. He noticed the difference between them. That is where he was conscious of the differences that lay between them and eventually they had their first taste of sex in the river. That river had its name after the couple made love for the first time. The river is known today as " Nanasa"
The term Nanasa refers to the act of sex between the same bloodline. It can happen between a brother and a sister, first cousins, aunt and a nephew or uncle and a niece etc in a Mengen context.
That is where the Mengens believe the birth  of the existing clans in the Mengen tribe through the first created beings.
So you see Mengens knew that there is a God who created everything around them before Europeans brought evangelization into Papua New Guinea especially in Pomio District.
The God the Mengens were referring to as their Nutu lived in the place now a days called Marana. The place Marana is used to be the place where their God once lived. A sacred place I mean with its secretes still intact and only the villagers of Marana are keeping for the sack of not loosing what God had left or given to the inhabitants of the present Marana village. It is located next to the station known today as Palmalmal the small town found in Pomio District.
So enlightening. More still to come. Bye for now.

Mengens circumcise not because the Bible say so.

What is circumcision? Circumcision is the removal of the fore skin of the penis. It is usually done to males than to the women. There are countries that do circumcise women as well. Todays trend on circumcision obviously it is done due to health reasons. People prefer circumcising nowadays using medical equipment and it is done by health workers in an healthy environment.
The question is where do we first hear of circumcision? Well the plain truth is we first heard of circumcision in the Holy Bible. If you are a Christian you are to refer to the Bible as the word of God to us. And in the Bible we were taught that Jesus Christ the son of God was circumcised in the temple. The temple is a holy place and those of whom who are one way or the other loyal to God are only allow to stay in the temple. Since Jesus was so close to God as a human being and at the same time a God he spent most of his time in the temple afterwards.
The fact about Jesus Christ is that he is a Jewish. We all now know and accept it that the Jewish people live in the country of Israel. Yet originally the practice of circumcision is a Jewish way of life. And how come the people of Mengen originally practice circumcision as their way of life as well? Mengens do not circumcise because the Jewish people are doing it. It is definitely no. It is part and parcel of the culture of the Mengen people. We have to remember the Jewish people of Israel are located in the continent of Africa while the Mengen people of Pomio District in Papua New Guinea are situated in the continent of Australia in the Pacific Ocean. Jewish people are from a Hebrew decent while the Mengens are from an African decent if I am correct. The Mengens are brown coloured people known as the Melenasians. Mengens do not circumcise for health reasons or for the sake of circumcising. Mengens have a deep secrecy to circumcision and it is implanted right deep within the Mengens culture. One can not separate the art of circumcision from the Mengen culture. It is obviously no in that regard.

Who is God and who is Jesus to the Mengens.

It is true that evangelization was introduced to many parts of the world by early missionaries. They came from all over the world just to teach the word of God to those who are still living in the darkness. We accept those missionaries and we were later baptised and now we say we belong to God. It was through the remarkable efforts of these early missionaries that Christianity became the foundation of our faith. These early missionaries did not come into a country like Papua New Guinea without facing challenges. There were challenges they had faced and some did face their fates in Papua New Guinea. They were killed just because the whole bulk of population they encountered did not accept the newly introduced teachings about God. They had very hard times here in most of the places in Papua New Guinea when trying to establish their missionary obligations in the beginning.
Their rejection to the newly introduced teachings about God was based on their way of life (culture). It was found to them as a contradicting practice that would hinder their traditional ways of living. The early missionaries taught tirelessly about God the Father and Jesus the Son. In other words they taught the natives that the superior being who made heaven and earth is God. The Father of all creations . Jesus was the only son of God who died to save us from our sins. Therefore, finally Christianity was well received by many and God the Father and Jesus the son became their foundation in faith.
Therefore, where do Mengens stand here? If God the Father and Jesus the son were both introduced by the early missionaries? Well before the missionaries came to Pomio District in Papua New Guinea the people already knew God the Father and Jesus the son. Actually both the name God and Jesus were later introduced to them. They already knew God the Father by the name of Nutu Evolau and Jesus the son by the name of Nutu Esina. Those were the two names they were using instead of God and Jesus.
Okay now let me explain to you these two names. The word Nutu to the Mengens it means God. As you can see the word Nutu is found with both names. Next the word Evolau to the Mengens, it means Big. And finally the word Esina it means small. If you happen to put together their meanings in English you shall see this.

Big God refers to God the Father and Small God refers to Jesus Christ the son.

English version________Mengens version

*God the Father----------Nutu Evolau (meaning - Big God)
*Jesus the Son------------Nutu Esina (meaning - Small God)

To find out more about the Mengens and their art of religion you can look for the book "We the people" written by a Catholic priest by the name of Tim O'Neil who came as a missionary and worked among the Mengen people. In his book" we the people "initially refers to the Mengen people. The book will give you some clues about the Mengens religion and way of life.
That's enlightening and when we meet again I will touch the practice of circumcision by the Mengens. Bye for now.

The tribe that knew God before evangelization came to Papua New Guinea.

Yes, there are lot more to discuss about the one legged beings of Pomio District in Papua New Guinea which I will be sharing in my next posts. For information sake, the one legged beings of Pomio District have had their traditional story being documented as a manuscript and I am seeking sponsors for publishing. Anyone interested in helping me out can contact me through my email address at (ptoduk@gmail.com) or leave a message on my blog site.
For the time being, I will be introducing to you a new enlightening topic that you may find interesting . I have written a manuscript about and as usual, no one in my country is willing to help me publish my work. It is all to do with the Mengens of Pomio District.
You might be wondering what on earth is the word Mengens. The term  Mengens is a collective word that classified the inhabitants of Pomio District who spoke the Mengen language.Mengen is a tribe that is found in Pomio District of Papua New Guinea. The Mengen tribe together with the other tribes make up what is known today as Pomio District. Pomio District is located south of New Britain Island. Pomio District is the remotest and the isolated district found in East New Britain Province of Papua New Guinea.
And remember Pomio District is known for its vast environment which include, Muruk Cave, Kava Kuna, many natural sink holes, the Blue hole dive, the Waterfall Bay and Whiteman and Nakanai Range and many more.
The Mengens have a unique diverse culture, tradition and custom and those who are interested can come do more research and study to discover the hidden beauties of the tribe. Aside from being just a tribe the Mengens are also known to be God fearing people who once knew God before Europeans brought evangelization to the natives of Papua New Guinea as a whole. That is truly enlightening. The question about circumcision. The question about God the Father and the Son. The question about prayer. The question about the wonders of God. And many more are implanted within the Mengen tribe of Pomio District of Papua New Guinea. It is not only about that, we shall also learn the different cultural practices on men's point of view and even women perspective. The rules or taboos that being a Mengen, one should uphold. The beauty of the traditional masks and its restrictions. And as well, the rituals Mengens perform signify their identity. We shall see all these listed one at a time.
Bye for now and we will surely discuss more when we meet in my next post.

Research
