gatiano:Sorry, but you make me join the forum just for your post. It's one of the most funny that I had never read before. Yes, I'm an Oyibo in Nigeria, at the moment. Yes, it's true that the idea of witches come from Europe: like Christianity, itself. But we don't follow these idea since the last 150 years, more or less. Many people die and all of that was innocently, also if a sort of collective psychosis probably make people confess things that are just in their mind, and others doing horrible things. Belief and words are not just that, if they can change our world by acting following these words. In very concretely ways, sometimes horrible ways. As we don't see any single wizard from the last 150 years, we don't die of sickness caused by witchcraft also without praying for be saved. We are not poor also without asking God to make us rich. We don't have more than one church per areas. Maybe this can make you some reflection. About the video, somebody else just reply that it's an old one and the government just take some actions - so, we discuss about nothing, now. But, more time I stay here, more I'm surprised of the spread of racism around. We invent, from nothing, with the colonial rule in Nigeria, the "ethnic groups", but not only people still believe in it here, but are ready to fight for tham. That's hilarious. When in Europe and in America we never talk of borders, when we have multi-nationals runs from a country to another, when we are also afraid of calling someone "a Spanish" or "a French"... people here still fight for divide a nation (really? In 2016?) or call the white man "oyibo" when they move around. Nobody in Europe can call a black guy "nigger". You know why? Because we are less racist than many people here. But coming to the post, that's the funny part. So, we (white man) make ritual and we need part of your body to our loosy bodies. Really, are you serious? And exactly how big is your medical knowledge to think like that? And exactly how the organs will travel to Europe or America and will be usable? Also just trying to taking seriously your post, you are funny. But, thank you. I was annoyed before your post. P.S. I've also to apologise with you, gatiano, because I don't look to your other contributors before. The colonial history it's a guilty and nothing can be enough to be excused. We are full of books in Europe and American with detailed records of what happened; at least since the '70s, because of Marxism and post-colonialism. Anyway, your grievance make you the equivalent of the K.K.K., in black, and no words can be probably spent for you. Others nigerians, by the way, are not like you. Anyone have a mind and I'm sure that also because of internet, things will change in the next 20 years. |
