Mboge, that Nigerian is not alone by any stretch. If you take a secret poll among Gambians and Senegalese or the majority of Africans in the diaspora for that matter, you will find that the vast majority of them are engage in that foolishness as well. They will tell you they do not believe in this and that, only for one of them scam artists from Touba, in the name of a decendant of Seringe Touba to descend and you see all sorts of cats not only line up, but bring their foreign friends to introduce them to the con artist as well. I've heard grown and educated men and women take their hard earned dollars and give it to these criminals and have the nerve to tell me that "Yalla Kor Mei". My conversation on that is usaully very short for they would reduce me to, "father yowe sah waxhtaan nehut, parsaka yowe gomuloo dara. Nyun nyi am ngome bayi nu ak sunn ngome". This sort of mindset is the thought process that gave us and perpetuates Yaya and criminals like him. Religious slavery is doing more harm to the African today for it entertains lazi thinking and without thought, there will be no progress. Why is it that we deeply believe that some shrub who never burst a sweat in his life and cannot feed himself for a minute can solve our problems? I usually shake my head when I hear some of them argue to the tip of their lungs about their faith in Islam and call other Africans devil worshipers only to engage in the real devil worshiping. There is a reason why you have these syndicate families in our sub-region, it is the supply of the foolish stupid! In Senegal, it is as if the population have their minds on loan. They can kill you if you try saying anything that calls to question these con artists. You see the head of the syndicate in Touba is in bed with Kanilai and now supplies him with 5000 work horses for a fee, right in front of our eyes. However, our mind is in shackles due to religious slavery - Waa Touba Dagne Am Nyaan and we keep silent from calling out the con artists by their rightful name. We will never progress as long as we put our faith in loosers. Joe Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:07:30 +0200 From: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [G_L] Wow, what a Marabout! To: [log in to unmask] Yero, 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 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.
