Mgbe ezi di na Ukwu Ukwa, Elders speak wisdom and the Youths pay rapt attention, but kemgbe uwa ghalu, the twist of life has taking over the senses of humanity.
The period we grew up going to school with Ten Toes displaying, that was when Schools have not turned to OCHANJA MARKET as it is today.
Today your child wakes up by 6 am, then the parents will prepare breakfast, prepare lunch, prepare Biscuit and any of this drinkable and sizeable Chemicals packed in Plastics that surely contain 80% of cancerous agents, which we give them as Juice , then off to school, after school, the child will join lesson that will make him or her to come back home by 5 and that is part 1, for at home the Child will drag the home works assigned at school which they should have done during school lesson and it will make sense and provide a relief , which they never did.
Child will be subject to school work till 8 or 9PM and will be very weak, well diner and sleep calling.... The circle continues throughout the week and some school will give them Home works that will last them through weekends .
No time to play, no time to even fight and decide who is the Local champion, that fight prepares us for Bullies as we grow, because any intimidation that comes your way, you remember how you bested more aggressive one while growing and you will take charge, but children of today are Vegetables..
During Holidays, schools will fix Holiday lessons and you wonder, what is the holiday or reason for it then, if the kids cannot just dump books and held recreation time with peers ?
In our days, it's during Long Vacation that students goes to Holidays at Uncles, Sisters, Brothers place in other places making meaning to the saying "All work and no play makes Jack a Dull boy or dull dog to some people who prefer dog to human", we never forgot that all this lessons comes with a fee from the lean and wean pocket of the parents or guidian.
After all that and all stages of schooling, then here comes grown up Wahala, even when JAMB has made self look so cheap and mean that they will set a Pass Mark so high and intimidating to any Name that sounds EASTERN but in the North, it doesn't matter if you got F9 in all subjects, they will give you admission to read whatever catches your fancy including Law, Medicine and the neighborhood.
Have you seen Northern Youths sent to East for YOUTH Service?, Unless on a mission that is clandestine but ours are sent to dense forest out there without considering the risk, but the Koko is that after all that, those from the East will be placed on LOOKING for Job for years or those that gets some semblance of job, will be playing second fiddle to a stark ikwurigba with Parachute kind of dress, despite the fact that they have superlative result and can be said to be over qualified, but the counterparts from the North with what you can't call under qualifications are giving TOP NOTCH JOBS.. but I digress.
Christmas is a tradition of the Christians in the East, that is the time for all Son's and Daughters, not including ALA WU OTU (Every home na home), we are the only Tribe that mark Christmas with commitment and decorum, it's like unwritten pilgrimage or Omertha for Ndigbo (I take offense to those who refer to us as IGBO, We don't have plurality, we are Ndigbo, and we speak Igbo.. Those that calls us IBO must have taking TRAMADOL in Gallons).
On Christmas period, Transporters of Igbo descent eweputa nma fa ji egbu Ndi Ojoo, welu na egbu umu ogbenye (Igbo Transporters will make Financial rape against the poor), they will argue that it is season without reason, well to me it is height of man inhumanity to man.
Many will set up to travel with Car they will buy suddenly by crook or hook, just to show affluence and as they plot to display afo emero nriju (Showing off affluence hiding behind empty tummy), the village KITIKPAS, the Otuo ogbajie and those evil men who spray Ukwara Nta, Eko Afo, Enyi Ule (Whooping cough,Enlarged Abdomen, Rotten Legs) will be at home waiting and planning where they will bury them, just know that the more you display your Ose Oji wealth, the more the Men and Women of lethal means plans to off you, but if your money gets to Onyika Odolu (Mega Rich), the size of the wealth will become Arusi on it's own.. Moving on..
Reminds one of those Extremely poor pretenders that comes back from Malaysia with small change which they will bring and corrupt many Girls, push many young Boys into that crave to travel to Malay for Ego Mbute, but in reality, those boys can't spent more than 1 months and their pocket will be flat, so within that small time frame, they will unleash the savings and bamboozle the small minds, get in between many closed legs, scatter many planned marriages, then they sale the Car they bought and use it to buy return ticket or foodstuffs to resale, But before then, they must have impregnated some of the Girls, some they promise marriage, and some they married and leave them at HOME Branch with Pregnancy they can't see again until the baby is 3, he will come back to put another one.
This is another Christmas at our door steps, the hour and period we should be asking questions of how we have faired in life, the period the Poor should be taking stock of where he went wrong and not time to be angry that others made it, which reminds me of those that will complain that a relation stole his Luck,,, John was throwing tantrum one day, everybody that comes to pacify him will get cartons of insult, then as I stopped and ask, he fumed that his Cousin stole his Destiny and Future and that he must return it to him,, so I quietly ask him, how do you know, he said his Pastor told him..
Then I ask again, is your Pastor Powerful?
He said very powerful and I said, if somebody stole from you and you report to Police or Deity, they won't just tell you who did that, they will make the person to bring it back with bended legs, so if your Pastor is original that he can see the culprit, he can break his hands and take back your Destiny and even slap that your captor just to show that he is above the ploy.
So if your Pastor only saw your Captor but do not have solution that doesn't involve you having face off with the person, then his calling must have come from Ghana Herbalist and not God, plus if you believe that somebody went as Far as taking your destiny and you did nothing but, physically and with empty head and sense then challenge him to a duel, your life will be taking too.
Finally I say to him, but which Destiny will somebody take from you?, since I know you and you are above 45 you are still a Village champion, you can't say Mgbe nwa iji aka enwuede Agu (There was never a time you use your hand to arrest a Lion, meaning you have been living life of Poverty), the person you accused just made money 3 years ago, so who took your destiny all those 40 years behind? And what can somebody use your Wine tapping Destiny to do, unless he is also Tapping wine with you, for I know that your talent is in the village, so you can service all the Widows, so just sharraaap and know that your destiny is buried in between the tighs of widows.
Well with his mouth agape, I walked away singing "mfu onye munagoro ofo, eburum ofo tiwanuya na isi, agaghim ekwugi ya na azu, agam ekwu ya na iru"(If I meet the person I am making divination for, I will use my Decanter to break his head, I will tell him point blank and not behind him) that was the lyrics of Prince Pericoma Okoye, Arusi Makaja of Igbo land, the Father of Prince Perry Ugochukwu the Singer with Flair and Swag.
Before I leave, let me also remember to talk to Boys who prefer to fix traditional weddings and Church version during Christmas, so they will get crowd and more money, just know that you will also get more witches and more Bad luck for that is also season when they test the efficacy of the Charms they boiled over the year, the money you spend that period will be more than what you would've spent off season and beside who are you trying to impress with the Glamorous wedding?.
Je zue ike, the local truances will find it more convenient to cast spell on many marriages, that way, the Man will be shooting BLANKS and some will target your FINANCE , gbarielu gi ego na Coins (Reduce your money to Coins).
What I am saying is, prepare your wedding when it is convinient and safe for you and do not bank on what people will give you, just plan with what you can afford, if your wife doesn't like it, if she likes and yearn for flamboyant wedding, just know that your marriage will be flamboyant disaster, if she can't allow you to cut your Coat according to your Cloth not according to your size, then change her to one who wants a future that is loving and guaranteed and not one who prefer eriecha tata, anwua echi (We eat all today for tomorrow may not come).
Mazi Odera POg heading to UGU OKA, Jogging up and Down while watching the IMPEACHMENT PARTNERS how those in the know enjoy the lot and OBATA OSU suddenly went Dumb with his Boys, meaning they were shocked that they missed Akpokue and they knew that AKPOKUE will reply that TEXT and when he does, you will see.. FORMER SINATOR OBATA OSU and having sighted that delicious Mama Put on Wheel barrow, I think it is just, if I revert with the saying.. MAN CANNOT LIVE BY JOGGING ALONE..
