JAZZ FOR SALE!




Do I use the general and almost bastardized sentence “wonders shall never end”? well do you know that you and I could actually be under the influence of jazz or voodoo? Do you know that gone are the days when you go far away, cut away from town, to a terrifying shrine with funny and weird looking sculptures. Now you can get it from the comfort of your car.

I have heard and seen and if you have had any of both experience don’t worry you would sooner than you expect it. It was first as hearsay but now I have seen it. If you are one of those who work or live on the island you must have seen 1 or 2 aimless Fulani looking people. They carry bags with all sorts in it ranging from “shine body, do as I say, love me alone and asking without refusal”. I can bet you must be laughing by now because it seems hilarious and perhaps stupid that people could actually go diabolical for such mundane things. I know we all have wishes but to think that they have now become “horses” is unthinkable.

A journey on ikorodu road would still shock you more as scruffy-looking ladies and women and more shocking teenagers too hawk a yellow looking liquid substance called “man power”. With outstretched arms to depict the potency of the substance to interested buyers and they tell you how you can reach Eldorado after the usage of the God-knows-what substance.

If your question is if they had patronage? Yea, I saw people rushing and more disappointingly people who you never would have expected.

Must we do this to satisfy ourselves?
