Devil worship? What nonsense

When paraphernalia associated with the ‘devil’ was discovered in a container at the Port of Mombasa, the country went bananas.

A politician who hails from a community where witches are roasted alive called a press conference to clear his name as the rumour mill on social media went wild, naming (falsely as usual) this and that politician as the guilty party.

Narcotics

A wacky pal who works with a clearing and forwarding firm in Mombasa was tickled to death. Why, he chocked, tonnes of ivory, narcotics, and counterfeit goods are routinely seized at the port without anyone giving a fart!

Why do we care so much about the devil when crooks are selling us dog meat in samosas, others are growing vegetables on sewer lines, scoundrels are raping little girls and stuffing their bodies in pit latrines and the government can’t trace Sh300 billion of our taxes?

The day KCSE exams began, students of Starehe Boys Centre were captured in a photograph on the front page of the Nation roaring with confidence. The Standard’s front page, on the other hand captured another set of students deep in prayer.  What’s this fascination with God and the devil when we have serious work to do, like study for the exam?

Devilish

Then a school in Nandi expels two female students because they are ‘devil worshipers’. Two teenagers worshiping the devil? And here I was thinking the kids should too busy trying to figure out why hair is sprouting in their armpits.
