Poetic-Verses
THE DEMONARCH
I was woken by Nigerian talking dogs this morning at about 2am. You know what the dog was saying? "Confess your sins. The two sins you committed yesterday."
We all know that mud or thatch houses destroyed long ago in Nigeria still stand and are the reason for all forms of imaginable and unimaginable troubles there. They even prevent the creation of new roads and a better society. Let me call your attention to what is called "THE DEMONARCH". These are demonized houses built in Nigeria, where you could feel hot when it's cold or cold when it is hot, lose your health, die or lose or never have the luck of having opportunities, better called spiritual prisons. This practice of building spiritual prisons is very common in Nigeria. You would find a person secure a land, then take thirty-two years to build one minute structure. At times abandon it for their worse bred children. You may even ignorantly commiserate with them thinking their inability to build
through the years is simply because of lack. But the heart of man can be terribly deep and dirty. Do you know that contrary to your perception, they were building a spiritual prison? An inescapable one? Now, the government of Nigeria and all such countries where these practices are upheld will have to give duration to all land Securers (not land owners) on when to build and complete their buildings/ develop their lands, after when they would be seized, taking into account that innocent people may also truly lack the money to finish their building projects, which should in such cases be completed by the government who should have them pay for the expenses gradually for a stipulated period of time, if they are interested in owning the lands and buildings, which are usually witchcraft covens and satanic hideouts.
You might imagine the wickedness. Witches (whoever gave them lands) who indulge in this practice in Africa, usually boast or jocularly remark that they are "dressing" the house (i.e. filling them with demons) while such delay in construction are being carried out. The result? Sickness, hardship, untold woes of the "spiritual prisoners."
Something funny occurred yesterday. I was in a taxi coming back home in the ancient city of Calabar when a young man was discussing about the Nigerian problem. We interplated, and I told him the Nigerian problem was informed by the wickedness of Nigerians. Just at that instance, we were passing through a suburb where new building constructions are on-going, and the guy sited a truck full of bags of cement heading towards a little crampy construction site. He had to explain that the owner of that building was a very terrible man and had bad intents. According to him "how would he use twenty truck loads of cement to build just a house of that little size?" I added that it was a spiritual prison.
