Do you use jazz...then your name should be Don Jazzie!



So I read in the newspaper of how a bricklayer wanted to test the authenticity of a charm given to him by a herbalist. The charm was to make his body bullet proof. The bricklayer had called his cousin carry out the experiment - to shoot him with a gun??!!?? .Honestly,I find this very amusing that someone would not mind using his life for trial and error when animals were available?What made him believe the so-called herbalist? What did he need such charm for?The story ended in tears and regret as the bricklayer got wasted after the shoot out.

Africans are known for black power/ voodoo otherwise called  jazz or juju or what do you call it? This trend dates back to the days of our fore-fathers. They relied on supernatural powers/charms from their various deities .With the invasion of the white man,their mind sets and orientation tilted in the direction of religion/western education. However, religion has not be fully embraced  because there are still diehard traditionalists. There are people who hold onto traditional beliefs and customs.  Even the home videos make us believe in traditions and its effects.

In school,we hear of guys using "touch and follow" for girls who refuse to give them attention.In home videos,the women use jazz to win their men over or to torment their enemies. If a girl makes a guy fall hopelessly in love with her,people around would say she is using jazz.If student passes an examination and people know well that the student is an olodo ,the usual response would be that he/she used jazz.If a pastor has a ministry for healing,you would hear side talks that he uses jazz. A person scales a job interview,others that were rejected would infer that the selected candidate probably used jazz.  A politician wins an election,of course he could not have won without the help of jazz.

In newspaper,there are adverts  that promote witch doctors who do good luck to wealth to promotion to fame charms.We all know that these means are selling ones soul to the devil,this usually comes with a price tag and severe consequences.Well, I do not know if charms do work but I believe there is a greater force that controls every other. This is in line with my christian belief- that at the name of Jesus,every knee shall bow and tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. This proves his supremacy.After all said ,the surest bet is to keep ones hand clean,maintain a clear conscience and rely on the Almighty for protection from unseen forces and the good life!. #KeepCalmAndDontRelyOnJazz
