Who Is Killing Nigerians?


Gbagam! Gbagam! Gbagam!! It is another day at the shrine! The great Oracle! Here is kola, I pour libations unto you! Wise one, your people have come...they have come to seek your face and wisdom on the calamity that has befallen our land! They have a question for you, Great one! Your people ask: 'WHO IS KILLING NIGERIANS?' 

People are dying...every new day comes with it, news about someone's death! And the most painful part is...dem suspect say 'na people dey kill all these people'! Calamity! Oh Calamity!! The Great one; just yesterday Mazi Udeorji, a 120 year old man, died...his great grand children are accusing their next door neighbours of being responsible for his death! Look at Mama Azunna, the one residing in Lagos... she died of breast cancer...her children say it was sent to her from the village!! Look at Ike-bobo; exactly one month after his wedding ceremony; while on a night journey to Abuja he was killed by armed robbers...His family members said the bullet was ‘sent’ by jealous friends!!! Hey!! The Great Oracle! Are you there ehhhh?!! I no kwa ya ehhh?!!! Okay, look at Dede Ebenezer, He…

Shhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Oh great one! Speak! Your people are listening!

Kinsmen! Why is it that most of you point accusing fingers at friends and relations once a loved one dies? Is death no longer a natural phenomenon? Is it not that single destiny that all mortals share? The rich, the poor, the healthy, the sick, the religious, the heathen, the young, the old...everyone dies. So why do you often blame someone for another's death?

Again, Nigeria is a really tough place to live in, a lot of things happen in this country that could take one's life away in an instant. We have poor security of lives and properties; bad road network and poor road usage both of which can cause road mishaps and lead to death; poor healthcare delivery system; poor quality of life which is widespread...if you are observant, you would also notice the proliferation of mentally ill people on the streets; their condition may not be unrelated to the dire situation of the country.

Though no one should act God by suggesting the lifespan of another; the World Health Organisation (WHO) announced that the life expectancy of the entire Nigerian population for the year 2011 is 47.56 years. The last time Nigeria had a similar figure was in 2003 when life expectancy was said to be about 47.9; it rose over the years and in 2009 was recorded at 50.9, but look where we are now. With these figures, if they are anything to go by, it becomes obvious that attaining the age of 55 as a resident in Nigeria is a luxury for which the concerned and his/her loved have to be thankful. As it is, once a child is born in Nigeria, he immediately has huge hurdles to jump in the race for survival. This baby, as he grows, is haunted by sever environmental pollution; poor medical and health service delivery; road mishaps; poverty; violent crime (Boko Haram et al); stress and frustration due to the inability of government, superiors, colleagues, friends and relations to meet his needs...this is to mention a few. With all these stalking and hitting him over the years, why would one be surprised that he does not make it up to 50 years of age?

Please, my Kinsmen, I am not saying that there are no mystical and evil forces in our society nor am I saying that people do not intentionally kill people. All I want you to understand is that we live in a country and in a time where people die early for reasons afore mentioned and even more. Do not breed enmity by pointing accusing fingers at colleagues, friends or relations at the demise of a loved one. If you suspect foul-play and you feel strongly about it, take legal actions if you can; where it is not feasible, leave it for God Almighty to judge (Yes, I know Him)...do no go seeking vengeance.  

Life is too short, enjoy it while it lasts...but as a Kinsman, you are blessed with long life and prosperity no matter what the life expectancy in Nigeria or your country of residence is.

Can somebody shout Iseee!!? You can shout ‘Amen!!’ if you wish.

The Oracle Has Spoken!!

    These are mere mortal deciding the fate of others,let's not forget that our citizens are resilient and yes most of us die young but a lot more live long.yes our healthcare system is terrible,our roads are bad but if we can stop being lazy and focusing on what the country can do for us I believe we will live a longer happier life... That's my opinion...Ndewo chief priest na umunnam

The Oracle Vs Nigeria's Clergy

Chief Priest! I am vexed at the stupidity of my people! Their stupendous ignorance is irking me!! You have to work harder to get them informed...Due to their ignorance, unscrupulous elements have decided to take advantage of my people. You find such men in government, in the civil and public service, in schools and most unfortunately, in church-which is the area that pains me the most. Now, due to the average Nigerian’s belief (as predominantly Muslims, Christians and idol worshippers) in a supernatural being who knows, sees and has answers to everything; crafty men and women have emerged, who pose as mediators to this Supernatural being. They pose as men and women who can get the supernatural being to solve any given problem which cuts across finance; health; careers; academics; politics…name it! They even get this supernatural being to prevent unfavorable circumstances from befalling their faithful. With the average Nigerian undergoing series of hardship from all corners and t...

Jungle Justice: Before We Become Victims

Jungle Justice can be seen as the extra-judicial punishment meted out on purported criminals. Such punishments are usually mob-induced and weightier than those which a legally constituted court would mete out when a suspect is found guilty after trials. Jungle justice usually results to death in the most gruesome ways.  Jungle Justice shows, blatantly, how uncivilized a society is and, unfortunately, predominantly exists in black communities i.e. Africa and Afro-Caribbean. In Nigeria, over the years, many have been killed and others molested/seriously injured over 'trivial' crime cases. Such cases include:   In Owerri, sometime in 1996, a man who made a living out of stealing light bulbs from people's houses was caught and burnt. In Owerri, sometime in 2004...a famished man stole slices of yam which were being prepared by a commercial cook (Mama Put). He was caught and the cook, who happens to be the wife of a Police officer, provided the fue...

Kai! The Oracle Is Interested In The Female Backside!!

On a recent outing with the Chief Priest, I was surprised to see loads of bare boobs and front-and-back cleavages flying around everywhere... I also noticed young ladies putting on very tight pairs of rubber-like trousers which showed every tiny detail of their lower anatomy and served no other purpose than change the complexion of their limbs and butts. Kai! Oracle you too see ooo "If you gat it, flaunt it"...If you have a big breasts, which are meant for convenient breast feeding; chiputa ha! Display them to the public! If you were blessed with a big pad behind, which is meant for more comfortable long periods of sitting...show the public. But Oracle, these are what men like... Chief Priest, shut up now lest I deal with you!  I'm sorry, Great One... How many of those semi-naked ladies would you proudly take home to your mother? How many would you bring to this Shrine? Most men lust for them and the word 'like' should...
