As Igbos, our values are rooted in enterprise, hard work and integrity. Unfortunately, there is this new religion that promises people a crown with no cross and that all you need is to bring money to the pastor and God will be a money doubler, but God wouldn’t double for him. He needs your own money for God to bless you. They tell our people that when they are sick, they should come and they will pray for them. They bring anointing oil which you pay for and handkerchief, but when they are sick, they fly abroad.
“You are going to bring people to Okite ( a prosperous medicine box) and they become rich, but he hasn’t made himself rich. He depends on the thanksgiving you make for him to feed. His brothers and relations are all retched, but he is deceiving gullible people that they can become rich through him.
Those people making Okite for people to become rich, but he can’t make his children rich. The unfortunate thing is that because of their actions, thousands of our youths are languishing in jail all over the world.
They made Okite for these youths with the promise that they will pass security checkpoints with hard drugs and the machines won’t detect them and when they pass, the machines will catch them and they are in jail all over the world. And when they can’t get that, they go into yahoo yahoo. And because that one had failed, they went into the bush and became kidnappers to make easy money because they were promised that they don’t need to sweat.”
If they have the powers they claim to have, let them make all Anambra people millionaires. In that case, all of us will be sleeping and we wake up in the morning and receive $1 million alerts.
Our streams are being polluted by the Ezenwanay’s (fake mermaids) and people go there and put all sorts of things into the water and other people are a few poles away fetching the same water for drinking.
Traditional religion is different from this criminal enterprise that had emerged and people are confusing the two.
