Some months ago I was in this City Shuttle bus on my way to town when I overheard a certain tout say something that got me wondering. There is this particular man who has not been to his home for 10 years now and has no signs of going there any time soon. All he does is ask those who frequent home the people who have gone to be with the Lord. I swear I judged him for I could not understand how someone could ditch their village and definitely their people. I in fact intended to do an article about it then but I just let it go. But, today I am not wondering any more and I am not judging anybody. Why is this? Stay with me to the end.
So what is Liver Cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis: Incidence, Symptoms, and Treatment - Healthline
www.healthline.com › health › Cirrhosis. As we now all know alcohol is involved 90% for Cirrhosis to occur. Now when a Standard four kid who is probably about just 10 years old. A kid who definitely has never tested alcohol is diagnosed with Cirrhosis, it leaves a lot to be desired. Now when the kid is on the verge of death, it's when doctors discover he had been given slow poison. The kid eventually dies! Sad! A year later when a 25 year old cousin to the late kid who has also never taken alcohol dies from the same diagnosis and undergoes the same suffering which includes swelling of the stomach it becomes questionable. Questionable because these are all male kids, the only sons and the poison clearly indicates it's man's doing. Now my question is; after killing someone's lineage, then what? After killing people's kids because they are intelligent and therefore destined for success, then what? You definitely won't inherit the intelligence for your kids! And after killing this wealthy man because you are jealous, you definitely won't acquire his wealth. Or will you?
We all probably have villages we are identified with. I have used the term have because for some of us, our parents bought land in towns away from home and build houses that we now call home and we can't probably remember the last time we visited our villages. Some of them build houses in towns not because they were running away from the villages but because they wanted a permanent home. You know, get rid of landlords. Some of them basically decided to run away from their villages because of so much drama they witnessed as they grew up. Truth is, in every village there is always this one particular person who doesn't delight in other people's successes and can do anything to make people's lives difficult! Some can steep as low as imitate people's handwritings and write very compromising letters to parties having cold feet just to ensure that the misunderstandings between them escalate. Indeed there are those villagers who just delight in other people's misfortunes.
In other villages, so I am told witchcraft is real! A child completes primary and secondary education successfully and when they are about to join campus they go bananas! You know, loose their senses completely. Others after graduating from university die in mysterious accidents or under mysterious circumstances. Some will get well paying jobs and work for the rest of their lives but they won't do anything great with the money apart from lavishing it away. When they finally die, mabati structures are build for them to serve as their house. I personally refuse to believe that witchcraft exists but reality is that it's there and in great capacity. We all believe that Satan exists, right? So who are his agents if not witchdoctors and all the evil people?
There is also something I forgot to mention that I got wind of from a certain village. Don't believe that snails are so harmless because they are consumed by the Chinese! Snails when dried and smashed into powder, form a very dangerous poison that kills slowly! Chameleons too are not only good for changing colours! Their powder is very exotic poison that kills instantly. Okay. Now you know! This poison is put in unsuspecting people's food. When it starts working in the body, it brings out symptoms that point to a very different disease that however much it is treated, no improvement is witnessed. When the victims have reached their dead end, it's when the poison is discovered. They eventually die.
So when you ask people why they never go to their villages and they respond with, "don't even go there" indeed don't go there! They just can't talk about it because they are their villages anyway. When they tell you they can't give money to just anybody in the village, they ain't being dramatic! They know better. When they suspect food served to them by even people they are related to, they have their own reasons. When they decline handshakes, it's not pride! They are just taking caution. Let them be!
