A businessman, Supo Bamidele,
and his herbalist, Amos Suleiman have been caught with human skull and palm,
which they planned in utilising for money ritual in Osun State, Daily Trust
reports.The duo was arrested by officers of the Osun State Police
Command.Bamidele told the police that the herbalist, Amos, asked him to bring a
human head and two palms to help him carry out money ritual but Amos denied the
claim by the businessman.
Bamidele said he dug a grave
at a cemetery in Ifon community and cut the head and palms of a corpse there.He
explained that some policemen caught him with the human parts on his way to the
house of the herbalist where he was taking the skull and the palms to.The
Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Fimihan Adeoye, said the suspects are
callous and cruel human beings, saying “they would not go unpunished.”.
Conversations around money
rituals and yahoo-yahoo have been rife over the past few days with arguments on
how best to shelve the killings.The slimy narration of the gruesome murder of
Elozino Joshualia Ogege by yahoo ritualists has not helped matters. It seems
like these yahoo boy-ritualists are in a phantom global competition to outdo
themselves in a game of gruesome activities.
In
more infamous trend of the recent virality by these belligerents of ‘Money Must
Be Made Progressive Union’, grown men are now obsessed with female panties with
different instances of women panties theft.The ‘problem’ didn’t however start
today. They’ve always been around and have always been popular. Nigeria is a country
rooted in traditional practices.
As
such, idol worship is a religion on its own, just like Christianity or Islam.
While Christians and Muslims pray to God or Allah to create wealth for them in
the hustles, idol worshippers also have deities and gods they pray to and
appease.
The
‘tested’ belief is that there are metaphysical keys to this world and if you
can access them or know how to control these quantum elements and you appease
the right gods, and spirits, you will be granted limitless wealth.
A cursory
look through the depths of Ifa, the many facets to its practice and the Ifa
Corpus like ‘Oju Odu Merindinlogun’ or ‘The 16 Corpus of Ifa’ could convince
you on the various facets to the world.There’s a natural element to everything
preached in that doctrine, affected by what they see under Oju Odu verses of
‘Eji Ogbe’ or ‘Obara Meji’ or ‘Odi Meji.’
Nonetheless, Ifa people are
famed for being pure and true. But just like they can appease the gods and
spirits the transcend the physical and our different versions of God, there are
bad people who also have their own spiritual beliefs.If there is a good, there
is a bad. Sometimes, there is no good and there is still a bad element.These
fundamentals are ingrained, not just in Nigerian culture. Scattered parts of
foreign cultures across Africa also believe in witch-doctors and herbalists who
can appease gods.
