“The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” is a children’s novel written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W.W. Denslow. The book was originally published in Chicago on May 17, 1900 by George M. Hill Company.
The story chronicles the adventure of a young girl named Dorothy Gale in the Land of Oz after being swept away from her Kansas farm home in a cyclone. After series of dangerous adventures, Dorothy was eventually helped by The Wizard of Oz to find her way back home.
I have always thought that witches and wizards are evil and wicked, but the story of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” seems to disagree. That notwithstanding, I’m yet to hear of a single good deed of witches and wizards in Africa, and would like to agree with the lyrics of one of the songs of A.B. Crentsil which says that Whites use witchcraft to invent aircrafts and other important gadgets to make life comfortable while the Blackman uses the same spiritual power to destroy and “pull others down.”
I have heard of some interesting witches and wizards true stories in Ghana, and would like to share one with you. Many years ago, the chief and people of a certain remote village in Ghana, Domeabra appealed to government for public transport to make life a bit bearable for them, since the road leading to the village was almost unmotorable and could not be traversed by most vehicles.
Government listened to their plea and sent them a Tata bus to ply the road between Domeabra and Oda, while arranging to rehabilitate the road. Economic activity picked up in the village and some business-minded people started making money by traveling on board the bus to buy goods in Oda to sell at Domeabra. But some people at the village seemed not happy with the progress of these business people. The bus started breaking down under strange circumstances other than the normal breakdowns associated with bad roads.
The bus driver and his conductor observed that the engine of the bus was exceedingly hot even before they began work around 5a.m., signifying that the bus had been used while they had slept. They, therefore, woke up at 1.30a.m. one day to investigate. About two hundred metres from where the bus was parked, they heard the horn of the bus blowing; they became curious and doubled their steps. About fifty metres away, they heard the engine of the bus running. Baffled with what was going on, they rushed to the scene, and you can’t imagine what they saw! The bus was filled with goats, with some jumping on the steering wheel causing the horn to blow! Chai, were they Wicked Wizards of Domeabra? That is Africa for you.
The driver and his conductor did not hesitate to send a report of what they witnessed to their office, and the bus service was withdrawn from Domeabra at once, scuppering the growing business of the traders.
As much as the activities of these Enemies Of Progress (EOP) in the form of “human-goats” may sound incredible, there are credible evidence showing that the problems of this country is partly caused by activities of some other EOPs, and I will prove it.
Just last week, a shocking information was intercepted on a certain political social media platform. Members of a certain political party were being encouraged to do everything in their power to make sure they stop the cedi from appreciating in value against the major international currencies. Their diabolical intention is to neutralise the 20 million dollars the Bank of Ghana has been releasing every week to stabilise the cedi.
The plan is that at least 250,000 members across the country should buy and hoard one hundred dollars each, every week: and this will not only absorb Bank of Ghana’s 20 million dollars, but will create a shortfall of 5 million dollars a week, which could easily destabilise the cedi. In fact, my jaw dropped in surprise. Could people be such fiendish? Chai, must the entire nation suffer because of some people’s insatiable quest for power? Is this the meaning of “at all costs”?
Laa ilaaha illallah, this na be proper Invisible Forces. Kikikikikiki, this be Wicked Wizards of Elephant New Town at work. I know what some of you are thinking, I didn’t mention any party’s name oo. I don’t want any trouble wai.
Yes of course witches and wizards can be a problem but the real problem is that of an enormous lack of righteousness in Ghana thus negating the protection of the Almighty.
If Ghanaians generally start practicing righteousness, that is to say: stop stealing, stop lying, stop cheating, stop scamming, stop corruption and so forth then and only then will you see the Almighty’s protection otherwise evil will continue to abound.
I suggest you read “All or West Africa’s Problems Solved” under “Peter’s Corner” and then I suggest you abandon the churches and Mosques and look into the Almighty’s original and sure way of obtaining the Almighty’s advice and guidance through the ancient African (Yoruba) practice of Ifa. Ifa, if you look into its pure form you will see that it speaks of One Almighty God and matches the Biblical context perfectly.
You see my friend you blacks in West Africa are the descendants of the Ancient Hebrew/Israelites. It was your great ancestors who wrote the original Bible. With respect I say to you wake up and start realizing that you blacks in West Africa are God’s special Chosen people and because of your unrighteousness you have caused the curses of Deuteronomy 28 to fall upon you. That is why foreigners take your resources and you are poor, that is why slaves were particularly taken from West Africa.
