“How was Christmas?”
“It’s come and gone. Life goes on. We
thank God for the gift of life.”
“Life will always go on.”
“But without life, we can’t have hope.”
“Without hope, life has no meaning.”
“I am still in a Christmas mood
though. I get a chance to rest a lot
during holidays”
“Where were you?”
“I was in my home town, the city of
hope. I refused to be deterred by fuel
scarcity, the scarcity of cash and the
scarcity of goodwill.”
“That your town where nobody sells a
brand new car, no single car mart
where you can get tear rubber, all the
major streets are littered with
Tokunbo vehicles on sale. Yeah, the
town of hope.”
“Talking about hope, you know.
During Christmas, I saw a story about
Christmas in Senegal, showing how in
a country with about 94% of the
population being Muslims, Christmas
is celebrated.”
“By Muslims?”
“Yes. Muslims wearing Father
Christmas clothes, decorating their
homes for Christmas and joining the
small percentage of Christians to
celebrate.”
“Are you sure the attraction is not
commerce? Christmas is big business,
and Senegal is a major tourist
destination.”
“I think it is more about religious
tolerance in that country and people
learning to accommodate and enjoy
diversity. For me, that is the message.
People can belong to different
religious faiths and yet live happily
together.”
“Hmm. We need that message in
Nigeria.”
“Ironically, something like that also
actually happened in Nigeria, this
Christmas”
“Where?”
“In Kaduna.”
“When? How?”
“I learnt some Muslim women went to
Kaduna prison to give food to
prisoners to celebrate Christmas. “
“Christmas or Eid el Maulud? You
know there were two events: the
birthday of Prophet Muhammed
(SAW) and that of Our Lord Jesus
Christ.”
“I am sure. The Muslim women visited
the prison on Christmas Day. And at
the Christ Evangelical Intercessory
Fellowship Ministry, also in Kaduna,
more than 150 Muslims attended
Christmas Day church service.”
“If what you are saying is true, then
that is great, beautiful, fantastic.
Religion has done too much damage
in our society. Can you imagine some
people going to destroy somebody’s
mother’s grave just because they do
not like his brand of worship? People
should stop killing the living and the
dead because of religious differences.
We should accommodate our
differences and join hands to move
Nigeria forward.”
“I know. But how far should this
accommodation thing go? Should it
also include witches?”
“Witchcraft?”
“Yes.”
“Hey, blood of Jesus!”
“Look at you. Where were you when
the other day, the spokesman for the
Witches and Wizards Association of
Nigeria (WIZAN) issued a press
statement saying they the white
witches of Nigeria support President
Buhari’s anti-corruption campaign”
“White witches. Winch dey get colour?’
“Na so I hear oh. White winch, Black
winch, Red winch”
“All of them winching, winching
people from the pit of darkness. Chei,
blood of Jesus!”
“The spokesman for White Witches
said they are good people with
members in every state of the
Federation and that as patriots, if they
are invited, they are ready to assist the
government to bring corrupt persons
to book.”
“Witches have a spokesman and a
nationwide network, and they now
issue press statements? Father, your
words are forever true. End time is
here! And Nigeria never fails to
surprise somebody; everyday, every
minute, something new always crops
up in this country.”
“I don’t get you. But you just spoke
about diversity, accommodation,
inclusiveness, and now you are
contradicting yourself.”
“Not witchcraft please. Light and
darkness cannot mix. I support
freedom yes, inclusiveness and all
that, but not the kind of support that
will take me to Hell-fire.”
“Hell is in your mind. Heaven is a
mythological construct. But look at the
proposal. The witches want to help
the government.”
“How? Will the Federal Government
set up a Special Court for White
Witches fighting Corruption?”
“I guess they will be very effective. See
how you’ve been shivering since you
heard that witches have become
nationalists and change agents. Only
the guilty are afraid.”
“Will they also help to resolve fuel
scarcity issues, power supply
problems, and reckless driving on our
roads?”
“This is a democracy. Let all the
flowers bloom.”
“Witches don they get spokesman. I
thought the law forbids anyone from
belonging to a secret society, a cult
and so on.”
“Well, as it is the white witches
association is no longer a secret
society. They are now in the open.
Don’t be surprised if very soon they
advertise vacancies for membership.”
“God forbid.”
“Siddon there, dey talk. You’d be
surprised how many media houses
will collect the adverts, and publish,
get paid for services rendered, and
claim that this is a democracy.”
“Hmmm”
