Yerro,
I was just being sarcastic!. I agree fully with Mboge, it is the victims who should be blamed. Reading the story reminded me of my visit to the Gambia in 2001, when I almost got into it with a close cousin. The cousin (we are the same age) called me and said he is visiting me together with a good friend who is a marabout from Mbour... When they arrived my cousin told me about how this guy can make a $100 bill into 10 notes, and that he did it for a lot of "semesters" in Dakar. The irony of it all is that he can only do it in dollars or sterlings etc... no CFA, no dalasi. I told them that I had changed all my dollars and have only dalasis. They hanged around the whole day trying to convince me to go buy some dollars... I told them NO, and that I am not even interested in such things. What I have is enough. 

Three days later, they came and said the man is willing to do it in dalasis, but I have to deposit some crazy amount... Boy, they kept on bugging me until I had no choice but to tell them to leave. To make a story short and just like you indicated, it is the victims who are shortsighted. I heard of stories of people selling their bulls, farming tools, etc for these scams.And, hey.... our "bandirabays" and sometimes in the forefront of this - Essa Bah... LOL

I blame the fools who believe in such rubbish.  I know a lot of peopleeho believe in this madness.  The other day a Nigerian guy I met in Oslo who'd lived in Europe for nearly 30yrs was bothering me about where to find a good marabout.  This guy is convinced that anyone from the Senegambia area know something about marabouts.  I was really pissed off! I asked him not talk to me about such silly stuff.

[He adduced that the following day the marabout asked him to meet him at Babun Fatty junction, where the marabout took him to a corner and gave him another medicine to cleanse himself and further asked him to bend down and he started hearing voices without seeing anybody.

He stated that the voices he was hearing asked him to do whatever the marabout would ask him to do or else he would die, adding that the marabout then asked him to drive him to his residence in his (the complainant’s) car.

He posited that the marabout waited outside and the complainant went into his room and later came out with D10,400 and 2,400 Euros and gave it to the marabout..]

 

Walahi wal kitab, something is not funny with this. How on earth can any sane person give his or her life to a useless marabout? If he knew how to cleanse others spiritually or how to make them rich or some nonsense, then he would have helped himself first. I am tired of seeing these stories.
