Right now as you are reading these words from me, if you pause for a minute and step outside your house or office in any city or town in Africa you will not struggle to spot a sign advertising POWER either by the men and women of God, Mallams and Imams or the traditional spiritualists.
In the same way, if you switch on your TV or radio, eight out of ten commercials will be about the super-duper power-packed programs by religious men and women. If this is too hard for you, then open your Facebook page on your phone especially those of us in the diaspora and you will not fail to spot an invitation from African men or women of God, Mallams or traditional juju men and women. All with elaborate pictures and captions of promises of POWER to do and to be one thing or the other.
The irony of the above is that never in the advanced world will you see such a thing or receive any unwanted promises of Power from any human being. It simply does not exist, if it does exist then they are the works of Africans in the diaspora.
Nonetheless, the truth is that upon comparing these two worlds, with all the proliferation of religious men and women promising power in all areas of life in Africa. Africa, our beloved continent is rather without any iota of doubt a symbol of POWERLESSNESS while the advanced world is a symbol of POWER.
• African Political and traditional leaders are powerless and can only beg all the time from higher souls yet they are those that attend super-duper services and rituals every day.
• Businessmen and women are powerless and for that matter can only resort to corrupt practices to make money, yet they are those that attend super-duper services and rituals every day.
• The citizens themselves are powerless to create any single thing that meets their own needs, yet they are those that attend super-duper services and rituals every day.
Do yourself a favour and perform a simple but not a thorough examination of your life and others around you on this. One thing that will become clear to you is that you and all those people upon the powerful promises and advertisements are nothing but powerless souls that can't lift even a feather.
• If you are not complaining about joblessness, then you are selling yourself to people you believe are more powerful than you.
• If you are not afraid of witches and wizards then, you are pinned to the ground by the firm claws of poverty.
• If you are not afraid of your fellow men and women, you are super sensitive to the imminent attacks of the so-called evil spirits.
• The truth is, the entire life of the African soul is clouded in fear, despair and hopelessness, all indications of the absence of POWER TO DOMINATE CIRCUMSTANCES.
