Who Bewitched us?

Who Bewitched us?
03.01.2021 LISTEN

Whilst the rest of humanity are dazzling us with products from their intellectual endeavors and great exertions in their laboratories, the shameless, lazy and envelopes-chasing stenographers, masquerading as Journalists, in Africa are busy regaling us with Uber stupid “predictions” from scammers in cassock garbs who continue to pretend to stand between Man and his creator!

So, rather sadly, we in Africa have come to the sad situation where graduates of our Institutes of Journalism cannot ask simple questions of the stupid pastors from whom they collect envelopes to publish some utterly stupid “Predictions.”

And we then have lazybones claiming to be Editors and whatnots splashing such nonsense on the frontage of the rag sheets they call newspapers.

How did we end up swallowing twaddle like:

1. “A prominent politician will die.” - How does this one qualify as a prediction in a continent where politics and religion are the only businesses in town?

2. “There will be heavy flooding.” - Holy Smoke!! Yes, we need a god to tell us this in a country where there are no proper drainage systems!

And, of course, the various Journalist Associations will be readying themselves to dole out awards to people who refused to up their acts and become the Consciences of their societies, and play their assigned role of the Fourth Estate.

Can’t our journalists see the damage they do to our people’s brains with the imbecelic drivels they keep churning out????

Why don’t they CARE????????

Sad!
