Money Rituals In Nigeria: History And CausesMoney Rituals In Nigeria: History And Causes

For the records, Yahoo-Yahoo is Internet fraud for which Nigeria has become globally infamous. Yahoo-Plus is money rituals with human parts.

Nigeria is currently in bed with instant wealth; there's no telling when this unfortunate love affair will end. The result as you must know is moral decadence; an increased crime rate; and something as incredible as money rituals. Money rituals in Nigeria are on the rise.

Ten months ago, a beautiful video vixen, Wendy, died under the most gruesome of conditions. She bled to death. But her bleeding is not the result of a medical condition. Rather, the story is that her boyfriend allegedly used her for money rituals. Wendy's sad demise is just one of a myriad of stories with the same theme - money rituals in Nigeria. But what is money ritual? And why are so many people increasingly involved in the practice? Keep reading below.

Money ritual is the pagan practice of offering human blood and body parts to spirits in exchange for wealth. In recent times, this practice has gained popularity. This is as more people get involved in the act, in their quest for material gains.

Money Rituals In Nigeria: What Needs To Change?

Our attitude to money and emphasis on lucre as the elixir of life. Nigerians at all levels, from the marketplaces, public offices to religious centres, worship money. We put too much pressure on ourselves (public office holders, business tycoons, public figures, professors, family benefactors, etc) that once we reach the top of the ladder, so much is expected of us materially and financially, which tends to push to the elastic limits. These often manifest in stealing public money, inflating contract budgets, engaging in dirty deals or going into Internet fraud.

The latest get-rich-quick device is money rituals in Nigeria and our “young people”  are leading the pack in this new “lucrative” venture. The young envy the older generation of politicians who are extremely rich. This is all within a very short time and at the expense of the teeming population of the depraved. Some of these boys justify their use of “just one lady” for money. They cite examples of public officers who sacrifice hundreds of lives through road or air accidents caused by inadequate funding of that social infrastructure on the platter of politicians’ personal greed.

We Need To Change, All Of Us

Our lust for money is a dynamic of corruption. There is a need for attitudinal change. Do we often ask ourselves why we form the highest number of Africans who flee abroad to settle? One pound equals plenty of naira at home? One case of drug peddling fetches hundreds of millions at once. Our people prize money ahead of peace of mind.

Our attitude towards money must change. Money is good. But we must have a decent approach to getting it and have a sense of contentment. Whatever is enough is enough. Not everyone can or will be a Dangote.
