It is no more news that money ritual is on the increase in Nigeria. A lot of youths now see it, as the fastest means of making quick money in Nigeria, and there is no effort by any government agencies to checkmate the trend.
There
is a drastic increase in cases of missing people almost on a daily basis and they
often end up being used for rituals there is no solution to this trending
issue. Murdering people to appease the deities appears to be on the increase. A few years back, a lot of youths got involved in Yahoo, scamming foreigners to
make huge money, in order to get their ‘magas’ as they are popularly called, to
pay money, they started getting herbalists involved. They help them with jazz
so they can get positive and quick results, and this is when blood rituals come
in, where they have to kill to appease the gods to grant them their wish.
Though
some of these stone-hearted guys go straight for the money ritual proper, which
also involves killing a fellow human being and using the vital parts for money
rituals. And most times, they use their girlfriends and girls they pick on the
street for one night stands.
It
was revealed later, that a lot of young girls are currently into the money
ritual thing themselves. Some of these ladies, with time, have learnt a lot from
their Yahoo boyfriends, they have learned and mastered the act of scamming
foreigners on their own to make their own personal money.
Some
of these ladies also have started getting involved in real money rituals. A lot
of them are usually seen at the beachside performing one sacrifice or the
other as instructed by their spiritual fathers and mothers. Though the issue of
killing a fellow human has not been linked with ladies lately, but with the
rate at which they are going and if the issue of this ritual killing is not
checked quickly by the authorities, then it will also be a big problem very
soon.
Many
people can’t help but ask why are young ladies going into money rituals lately,
instead of the normal way of just depending on their partners to take care of
their needs, the way it was a few years ago? or better still, depending on their
sugar daddies for survival?
These
ladies want to be financially independent.
These
young ladies believe. it's sweeter to call the shot than to take orders from
anyone. They believe it is better to have the money personally and spend the
way you deem fit than depend on a man or parents for peanuts. They want to
ride exotic cars and live flamboyantly without depending on anybody.
And
with their money, they can even date any guy they desire, since they do the
spending.
Society as a whole has failed these young ladies.
It
is so sad that young graduates lately can’t even get a job after years of
suffering at the university. It is even worse when you don’t know anybody at
the helms of affairs to help out. A lot of young ladies need to sleep their way
through to get jobs now.
A
lot of them believe, if there is an alternative option to make money instead of
going through all these troubles, then why not. And it is so sad, that society doesn't celebrate hardwork anymore but rather they celebrate success
and nobody is interested in how you made the success, so hardwork is not valued
anymore.
Social
media has contributed both negatively and positively to the lives of people.
Many believe a lot of things they see on social media. Once they see a girl of
20 with so much acquired wealth without knowing the source, they want the same for
themselves by all means. At that particular time, tell them to bring their
mother’s head for ritual, and they will gladly do it without thinking it through.
The only thing on their mind is, “If that little girl can have so much money,
then why can’t I?
So
the race to become the big babe on social media begins. They want to become
celebrities overnight and mingle with the big babes in society.
Peer
pressure is another reason, the rate at which young girls in their 20s and
30s live large on the Island is something else.
They
rent houses worth millions and ride in flashy and exotic cars without parents or
guardians to question their sudden wealth.
Once
these young girls with their families living in other states start sharing
apartments with their friends, the only thing on their minds is to make it big
at all costs too.
And
they get groomed into doing all sorts, with this, money rituals will just be a
normal thing for them, since, they don’t even have anybody to question or
monitor their activities.
Most
times, their entire family back home depends on them for survival. They are the
breadwinners of the family at a very tender age, so who will question their
sudden wealth?
The
idea of what a man can do, and a woman can do better is also a factor. The times
they spent with their Yahoo boyfriends have made them fearless. While they lived
together, they learnt lots of things and now put them into practice, when they
start living alone, like the act of being mean and swindling people without
even considering the effects of their actions.
It
is no more news that a lot of these Yahoo Boys now use their girlfriends for
rituals. So instead of sticking with a boy, they are not sure of his plan for
them, they will rather leave, and make their own money themselves. At least
they have all it takes to make the money themselves.
