MFUM—WHEN a traveller hinted that there was a
community in Niger Delta where traders do not pack
their wares home after the day’s business, but just
cover
them with waterproofs and other materials, it
sounded
too real to be true in this evil era.
So this reporter went to Mfum community in Ogoja
Local Government Area, Cross River State, located at
the
intersection that leads to Abakaliki and Igoli, which
is
30 and 15 kilometres away, respectively, from Ogoja
metropolis, to authenticate the claim.
The strategic position of the community has turned
the
people of Mfom, especially the women, to traders.
The makeshift stalls, where they sell foodstuff like
garri,
rice, plantain, cocoyam, banana, fish and bush
meat
to the thousands of people, who traverse the busy
Abakaliki-Ikom Highway, littered the roadside.
It’s true—Madam Agade
A shop owner, Madam Grace Agade, who confirmed
the
claim to Niger Delta Voice, said: “There is a strong
spirit
that guards the foodstuff and anybody who
attempts
to steal any item is on his own
“This is because the person will see what he or she is
looking for by coming to this community to steal
stuff
items meant for sale just because nobody is
guarding
the items of trade.
“If anyone steals from the market, the spirit that
guards that market will follow such a person to his
house or his destination and instructs him to return
the
item.
“Butif he remains stubborn and keeps the item,
something will happen within three days.
“If he does not die, he will run mad and it is only if
his people come to appease the community that the
he
can be healed of the madness.”
Spirit arrests gari thieves
She said sometime, last year, “some people stole some
basins of gari and when the sprit went after them,
they
had to return the garri and our youths beat them
up.
“They had to perform sacrifices before they were
allowed
to go back to their homes.”
Another lady, Rose Eddy, said she has been selling
food items in the market since the road was
constructed,
several decades ago, adding, “nobody had stolen
my
items except the incident of last year.”
Switching to Pidgin English, she said: “Dem know
our
community say thief no dey survive here and any
person wey steal, na him go take him head carry
am.”

mumu, listen to other people's testimony..even at the local markets here, some people leave their goods overnight. It's no big deal..

But why dnt they leave bags of money there, cars opened with car keys, leave opened their shops full of provisions, cements depots and so on?

All those goods are so not very valuable.

That's a fact.

Now, back to u insulting my people:

Did u knw that before the advent of u people in the Yorubaland, wares are displayed and the amount for each will be displayed by the numbers of stones puts by it?

Buyers simply buy and leave money and even take their changes. But it all changes when ur people came and stealing was glorified!

Tinubu dishonest ways will enslave you to the awusa/fulani forever.

It is also obtainable in some Northern states though. But those goods are not always valuable or appealling to the would-be thieves.

There are so many communities like that in Nigeria. The fun part of it is that the only reason why they don't steal isn't cos they are all good but cos of the fear of being killed by their traditional gods. Even the so called born again respect these gods and deities when they go to such places. Makes me wonder why they don't use the traditional deities or gods to swear our politicians in.

Are you sure it is not boko haram that chased these traders out of town suddenly? Those fa-ggots are thirsty, hungry modaffuckks!

Come to Station market Kaduna, is the same thing. Not just fruits, food stuffs but chikens are left unguarded. I heard this practice was obtainable also in the s/ west until the advent of igbo thieves who changed this practice of trust. I want to believe the end of the civil war was and remains the beginning of the Nigeria's problem of mistrust, tribalism, nepotism, criminality, kidnapping, stealing, 419(frausters) and what a few, all for the love of money, all of which designed, manufactured and injected into the society by the ig*bos to reap and tear Nigeria apart. Ordinary, people in the south south, s.west, north and middle belt are laid back people only interested in hard work to earn honest pay, but the unification of Nigeria post civil war, ushered in desperation and impatience for quick cash which almost destroy the fabric of the nation. Thank God for many wonderful Igbo men and women which i am partly among, who grew up in the north and understand the value of humility, trust and hardwork. God bless Nigeria.

Nigerian politicians no dey there ?

See mental patient..

Who thinks stealing is peculiar to tribalism..

The only city in Nigeria where you can watch armed robbery live on per second billing is Ibadan in Oyo state. In one day I witnessed two with blood and death involved.

I guess Anini was an Igbo man..

Even when Shina Rambo, Godogodo and Oyenusi were operating Yorobass leave their door open and thier bags of money infront of their compound because the trio were only stealing cowdungs and cocoa leaves.

You guys should know those your phooling with liees ooo

When all the notorious group 1000Boys of Ajegunle were arrested it was discovered that 97% of them were from Oyonistan and Osunistan but where parading as Lagosinans.
