The tools of an African witch doctor
A witch practices witchcraft. In many parts of Africa, it is often said, "Only a
witch could know or see her fellow witch", yet in Africa, anyone
could be called a witch when the person looks strange and does abnormal things.
Such abnormal behaviors could be symptoms of a sickness, but the one had already been classified as a witch.
Poverty, hardships, and suffering are common in life, yet an innocent old woman sitting quietly at her compound could be called a witch and be blamed for someone's suffering. In Africa, matters are dealt with cruelty after consulting witch doctors.
A man brutally murdered his own mother after a witch doctor told him that his suffering was caused by his own mother. This sounds strange, but in many cases, mothers had confessed to being the one causing all the havoc to their children.
Many simply forget that there is a punishment for every evil thing done on this earth. Some people don't even believe that there is any punishment at all.
In the life of cruel people, when they start reaping what they had sown, the only thing left for them is to accuse someone as a witch.
"I believe when I left Africa for Europe, a witch sat by me on the airplane. I have been living in Europe for over ten years, but I am always penniless." This was what an African was telling his friend. I don't believe in such statements.
I believe in witchcraft because I have seen the attack of these unseen forces on people many times in Africa. I have seen a woman confess to killing her own child.
I have seen a woman confessing to blocking the womb of her daughter, making her barren. The stories are many without end. Some of these stories are genuine, while others are just fabricated.
In Europe, I have seen an old woman between the ages of seventy and seventy-five riding a bicycle. In Africa, any woman of that age riding a bicycle will be called a witch.
There was a time, a child preacher came on the scene in Ghana. He preached with passion, giving quotations and references from the Bible. At long last, he was called a witch.
It is time for Africans to eliminate the slavery mentality of accusing people as a witch for their own failures.
