SACRIFICES!
Why do Nigerians keep their environments dirty? That is a multi-billion dollar question worth answering: I have said before that even if every European and American were offered brooms, vacuum cleaners and various clean-up equipments to tidy a little country in Africa called Nigeria, and each given company names, they would not be able to do it. So, why are Nigerians dirty? Despite all their religious acclaim? Why have their religions (Christianity in particular) not affected their environments or way of
life?
Sometime ago, I was walking along a street of Lagos when I saw an amazing thing. A woman was on a bike and was rode by a man. This woman had a basin full of neatly well-sliced, peeled, ripe paw-paw which would have been used for a salad. There was nothing wrong with the paw-paw. They were not spoilt. All of a sudden, while the bike was on top speed, she emptied the content of the basin on a government road. I knew it! "Oh, sacrifice!", I exclaimed. Nigerians and Africans are dirty because of sacrifices. Each dirt you see on a Nigerian road is a sacrifice. Each nylon, paper or any other dirt you find in a Nigerian vicinity is a sacrifice to their numerous gods. Alters are usually created where those dirts are dropped, making change a difficulty. I will not forget the experience I had when I once lived in Lagos. I was new there and was not used to throwing dirts around. One day, I had bought and eaten, I think, Ice cream (candy) and was in search of a garbage can to drop the wrap. After walking several distances and finding none on a float of nylons, I was offended and dropped it and left. Nigerians are not idiots. They know too well what they are doing. Since 84% of Nigerians are witches and wizards, despite their involvement in Christianity (which they frustrate) and other religions, they only keep erecting alters and making sacrifices to their numerous gods by littering dirts. Make a new good project and you'll be surprised, someone would go pooh there. They are simply saying they don't need change or good things. They are content to be how they are, erecting alters and offering sacrifices to satan and their gods in order to secure a land?
