What manner of question?


 


I saw a footage of a policeman describing the murder of a young lady by four young men.

The crime was sordid but the question

by the police man made me wonder if he just returned from space?

The police man was worried about the age of the boys, all in their teens and what they wanted money for. It is still normal.

But what riled me, was when the police man started complaining that in this age, people still believe in money rituals!

Oga Police, are you just back from Mars?

Our films show it. Has he never seen it? Was the policeman grandstanding or did he think he was addressing foreigners?

I personally, would not want to engage in money rituals but the question is, what percentage of Nigerians believe money rituals are untrue?

Scientifically, it makes no sense but the question is, why do people believe in it?

Every system comes with it's challenges. It is like a person who feels the cure for a mechanical problem is a change of machine. Wh
