Some Yoruba artiste once sang a song, I don’t remember which artiste and the genre.
But the crux of the song is people are saying they don’t want mishaps in the village but the village chief’s wife is seĺling hemp and the son is an addict. What other thing could bring a mishap?
Our sons and possibly daughters are actually graduating in the spirit of next level. Yeah, they are always adventurous.
It all started with robbery. But when they saw the risks involved in robbery, they graduated into kidnapping.
That one, I mean kidnapping is also risky.
With the coming of the computer and the world becoming a global village, they never had any positive use for the computer. While others were busy using the computer creatively, our boys started using the computer for Yahoo.
Granted that It takes two to tango, the mugus, mostly Europeans, initially fell for the ‘sense’ of our boys. But when the world became aware of what was going on, it cost our country trust.
And when there’s no trust in business, you can just forget it!
When the boys came out again, it was with Yahoo +. What should be mentioned here is the fact that some parents were actively supporting their wards in criminal endeavors.
These same parents would be the first to claim that the youth are no good. Are the parents who support their children by offering them their ancestral medicine books any better? Are those who enjoy the obvious rewards of their wards’ nefarious activities clean?
As the foreigners were no longer falling for even their Yahoo +, they began to drastically look for “local’ means of quick enrichment.
With the connivance of criminally minded adults, they soon hit the jackpot. That was in the way of looking for and devouring human excreta. As the story went then, the person whose waste was eaten would be getting emaciated just as the consumer would be getting richer.
As fate would have it, many dwelling places do not have toilet facilities in Nigeria. So the criminals found things easy at first. However, when people wisened to their pranks, they did their big business much more discreetly.
Then came ‘get mad for money’ syndrome. That involved a person who wanted to have fast money going mad for a day two. If he survived, the money would be coming aplenty.
Research has now driven them to using female underwear for money rituals. I posted something on that sometime ago.
What’s forcing me to write on it is the alleged raid on an Ijebu Ode eatery by these satanic young men. According to the story, they were armed.
In a case like that, what people expected was a robbery.
It was!
But it was a robbery with a peculiar dimension. Instead of the assailants going for money, mobile phones or even jewellery, they would have nothing to do with such.
Rather, they went for the kill. They politely asked all the ladies in the eatery at that time to please take off their panties. Since it was Christmas season, they even kindly lent brand new panties to those who were not wearing any as at that time – for five minutes.
Done with that, they calmly collected all the panties and made good their escape.
Even before the focus on ladies’ underwear was the one they called twenty – twenty. That one involved young men around twenty years old. Their thinking was that twenty years was like a lifetime.
So, they arranged with ritualists who specialized in money making. They used their lives as a sort of collateral. The idea was for them to be rich for twenty years.
Once the necessary rituals were done, they would be stunningly rich. But then, it wouldn’t last for more than twenty years!
There’s no doubting the fact that our fathers had great powers. But methinks such powers could be used positively.
As for our young men who indulge in these nefarious activities, I believe the earlier they repented, the better.
As for the parents who encourage their wards in perpetrating these unwholesome acts their days of shame are just around the corner. By the way, did the parents know that, if the die is cast and their wards had to choose between the parents and staying as poor as a church rat, they would gladly use them for rituals.
Yeah, they’ve turned their kids into Ajantala and they must suffer for it!!!
