SEXY AND HORNY DEMONS

I had been sitting in front of the television screen for about 30 minutes. I was tuned in to a Christian channel and on the screen there was a woman being held by two female Ushers. The woman was teetering from side to side with the two ushers keeping her from falling. The Preacher was asking the woman questions.

“Who are you and where do you come from?”

“I am the great viper from the ocean.” the woman replied.

“What have you done to this woman?” the preacher asked.

“She is my wife. I don’t want her to get married so I chase away all the good men who want to marry her.”

Then the preacher touched the woman’s forehead and shoved her backwards. “I command you in the name of Jesus to come out.” he said.

The woman fell on the ground and started writhing. This took a couple of minutes before she lay still. The preacher told her to stand up and as soon as she stood up, she looked shocked.

The preacher then asked, “Do you know what you just said?”

“No” replied the woman.

“The demon that was troubling you has been cast out by Jesus.” The preacher explained to her.

Another woman was brought up. She had an angry expression on her face and her breathing was heavy and laboured. Her eyes kept rolling back into their sockets.  When the preacher asked her who she was, her reply was almost identical to the other woman’s.

“I come from the Indian Ocean.” She answered in a West African accent.

“What have you done to this woman?” asked the preacher.

The woman threw her head back and laughed. “What a stupid question to ask.”

The preacher repeated the question. “I said what have you done to this woman?”

There was a brief pause before the woman said. “I own her.”

“How do you own her?”

“She is mine. I make love to her and I do not want her to prosper. I have stunted her progress.”

“But why are you doing this to her?”

“I hate her. She does not obey my orders.”

After her, another woman was brought forward and her predicament was the same. She was also "married" to a spiritual husband. The spirit was tormenting her life and bringing so much misery into he life. I saw about six women brought to the Pastor to have their demons cast out before I decided to change the Channel. There were no men who came forward to have their demons cast out.  

I have watched these programmes before and that has been the case almost every time. More women than men seem to be victims of these spirits.  Is the spiritual world only full of male demons? How come there are very few men who are "married" to demons? 

Another thing that I observed is that most of these spirits claim to be snakes and come from the ocean or water and they are extremely abusive to their victims. It is like being married to an abusive husband. 

I am not an expert on this topic so I am not going to make weird conclusions. Many women have spoken about spiritual beings sleeping with them in the night and some have even spoken with these spirits and seen them physically.

Many people may have heard of Incubus and Succubus. The Incubus is said to be the spirit that has sexual intercourse with women while they sleep and the Succubus is a demon that assumes a female form to have sexual intercourse with men in their sleep. There are other demons associated with having sex with human beings and believe it or not, there is even a Top 10 list of Sex Demons.

 But why are there more women victims than men? And why are there more snake spirits that enter these women instead of any other animals, say for example a dog, cat, leopard or even a bird? We all know that when Satan decided to lie to Eve in the garden of Eden, he took the form of the snake so maybe there could be an explanation why there are so many snake spirits inside people.

And what happens to these demons once they are cast out of a person? Do these demons just leave the body of that person but still have the privilege of finding another host body somewhere? Is that spirit completely destroyed?

In the bible, it is documented that Jesus Christ encountered these demons on some occasions and the most common one is when he cast out the demons from a man and the demons begged Jesus, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs". (Matthew 8:31). A few things come to my mind when I read the demons' plea to Jesus.

The first is that the demons knew how powerful Jesus was and that they stood no chance against him. They had to ask him for an option which they thought was better for them. The other thing that comes to my mind is that Jesus had the power to completely destroy these demons hence their plea from them to be sent into the pigs. But if Jesus really could have permanently destroyed these demons, why did he choose to send them into the pigs? We learn afterwards that the pigs drowned in the river but it is not clear whether the demons perished too.

However, in the same scripture, the demons asked Jesus a question. They said "Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?"

Does that explain that the demons that are cast out are not destroyed at all but merely leave the host body and and enter another body until the "appointed time" when they will be destroyed?

Genesis 6:2 says that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful and married of them they liked and had children by them.

The sons of men who are the fallen angels are the first spiritual beings to have sex with humans and they are most probably the same demons that are still doing it now. The bible does not say anything about these fallen angels having sex with men nor does it say there are female angels. Maybe this could be the reason why women are the ones that are fearfully being tormented by these demons.

But on the contrary, we have heard of spirits or demons that sleep with men. Many men have also been said to be married to spiritual wives. You must also have heard of other people who use black magic to have sex with other persons in their sleep. Female witches may use this to have sex with men. Or could some of these horny demons be homosexual?

MAN VERSUS HIS PENIS AND EIGHT OTHER THINGS

Last Sunday, I was bored and so I decided to take a stroll to stretch my legs. It was during this time that I saw the advert in the photograph above. Of course the first thing that caught my eye was the large print text "NORMAL SIZE ENLARGEMENT". Below this were two numbers and a name which you can call at anytime if you have a problem with size. Unlike many other posters that advertise for "PENIS ENLARGEMENT", this one was a little bit different because it stated clearly that you will only get a normal size and not a monstrous item. Another fact that I liked about this advert is that it does not mention the name "Penis" which somehow leaves the little kids in the dark about what this size thing is all about.

Penis enlargement has become big business and those who know the secret of enlarging are really making money. When you see a poster like the one above, you will probably not think too much about it and may even laugh at it but the truth is many people ain't laughing at all but are dead serious with the whole thing. People have spent millions on penile enlargement products and are still spending. 

"Old men are also visiting us for manhood enlargement but our results are best between 7 and 37-years only. With old men we are receiving complaints that the manhood is getting back to its original size after enlargement. On manhood enlargement, we do ritual incision and the penis gets enlarged quickly while others just eat porridge mixed with powder charms and it gets enlarged." one traditional doctor was quoted in an online publication, an indication that it is not always that penis enlargement will work for everyone. But whether it works or not, the truth still remains that many men are going for it. 

I not sure whether the method mentioned by the traditional doctor above can fall under medical treatment or magic but the fact that many people go for it may just be proof that it works. Another reason why one must believe that it works is that you only get to pay after the results have been achieved. One thing worth mentioning here is that you should not by any means try and cheat the "doctor" by not paying him when you are required to. These "doctors" have means of getting back what you owe them.

On the list of services offered from the above poster, you will notice that there are eight other services and item number eight reads "SOMEONE IS OWING YOU OR DEBTS". This is a service which is offered to clients who have failed to get back the money which they are owed. Doesn't that simply explain why you should not avoid paying after your required penis size has been achieved?  The doctor offers service to clients on how to get their money back from people failing to pay which means he is an expert in getting back what you owe him. 

Let us look at the other services offered. Item number one is intriguing. "BRINGING BACK A LOST LOVER IN 45 MINUTES". This was not the first time that I was hearing about this but it was the first time that I heard this could happen that fast. I have heard many stories that if your lover runs away with another person, you can bring him or her back by just smoking some herbs and mentioning that person's name. This type of charm, is said to work even when you want someone to fall in love with you whether they want to or not. How can a simple "cigarette" accomplish all this? Spiritual powers are used in these rituals by calling out the name of the lost lover and sometimes this is done at night at a graveyard. In the western culture they call this a Love Spell and sometimes you can get them free of charge on the internet.

My interest about this was how quickly (45 minutes) it takes for the lost or runaway lover to come back. It is practically impossible for someone to get back that fast cos he or she may be thousands of kilometers away at the time. Could it be that the spell starts working after 45 minutes after being cast? According to the traditional healer quoted earlier in this article, some kind of oil is used and when the ritual is done, it makes the runaway lover "crazy" and they will want to come back. This will happen even if the lost lover has entered into another relationship. 

The second item is most likely a huge temptation for many people.  "WEALTH, LUCK, WINING LOTTO, MORE MONEY". Who wants to be poor anyway? I however have one question to ask. If these people know how to become rich and how to win the lotto, why are they in this business at all? Why not just be making your own money the easy way? I am asking this because most of the people that offer these "services" live in cheap neighborhoods hardly what you would call very rich. I cannot dwell too much on that because there are so many stories associated with these get rich quick schemes and maybe they choose not to use their ways due to the unpleasant things that one must do to get that wealth. 

Item number three dwells on "PASSING EXAMS, JOB INTERVIEWS AND JOB PROMOTION". I guess now you know why that promotion passed you by and went to someone who does not deserve it. I never knew life was this simple. While you study all night to pass the exam, there is an easy way out. How it is done is beyond imagination. How do the answers avail themselves to you in the examination room? Do you dream about them at night? Are you possessed by an imaginary force that can see the answers and whisper them to you? We can come up with many theories here but it still remains a mystery. 

To the interviewing panel, it was not your fault that you chose a dunderhead for the job but he was just one step ahead of you. He went for "consultation" from the traditional doctor.  

To the women who have been craving to get married but Mr Right has been elusive, you may find item number four exciting. "QUICK MARRIAGE, DIVORCE, STINGY HUSBAND". I have heard about "quick marriages" which sometimes come with a "getting married to a white man"enticement.  Yes, many African women dream of getting married to white man because it is believed that white men are generous and rich. Many desperate women have tried getting help for hooking up with men of their choice. This may just fit in with item number one which talks about bringing back a lost lover. I guess the methods used here may be the same with getting married to a person that you want to get married to. 

What is more confusing is the “divorce” part. Why would someone go to a “doctor” for a divorce? I thought you can get that from the Court. My concern with this one is that some people may use it for selfish gains. Imagine a woman who got married to man not because she loved him but because of his money. After a few years when she has amassed the wealth she wanted, she may get a divorce from the poor man through the influence of the herbs man. 

Stingy husbands have not been left out of his quagmire. There is a remedy for this too and may also be used for selfish gain. If a woman loves money, she may get the charms to make her husband start giving her all the money and even neglecting other responsibilities like supporting his extended family. It is common to hear people talk about women who are accused of feeding their husbands the head of the blue headed lizard, the Agama.

This lizard keeps nodding its head as if it is agreeing to something. It is believed if a woman feeds her husband this charm, he will say yes to everything that she says. He will say yes to every command that she gives him, even owning up his entire month’s pay. I just wonder if this can work the other way round if a man feeds the wife the same charms. Of course I have no proof of anyone being fed the lizard’s head but it is widely believed that it is part of the ingredients for this spell.

HIP ENLARGEMENT AND FIRM BREASTS falls under item number five and this one that I think can rake in a lot of money if well marketed. Many women these days are wearing padded pants and hip enhancers to make their bodies have a shape that they desire. Imagine having a tailor made body without the hassle of shopping for enhancers or going under the scalpel? 

However, it boggles the mind if one thinks about how this can be done by a traditional doctor. We have heard of breast implants and these are done by using silicone but how the hell does a traditional healer do it without surgery? Could it be done the same way that penis enlargement is done by drinking herbs or powders?  Whatever the case, I have no doubt that if we were told exactly how this is done, it would leave us spooked. 

Then comes Item number six, “STOP SMOKING AND DRINKING”. Although the basic rule to stopping anything is simply to stop doing it, I know that is not the case with beer and smoking. These are addictive and anything which is addictive is not easy to let go. Smoking is harmful to health and quitting is a very good option. There are more ways in which someone can quit smoking but I just don’t know if these fall in with the method used by the advertised service. The reason I say this is because you can get these tips freely through the internet. 

The second last item on our advert is for“THOSE WHO WANT BABIES”  followed of course by “THOSE OWING YOU MONEY ” which I covered at the top of this article.

Don't we have a remedy for everything?

THE BABY BONUS

It is astounding when a poor couple keeps having more children despite the fact that they struggle to find enough food to feed them. In most cases, you will find that rich couples only have one or two children while the poor couple can have up to six or more children.

What drives these people to do this? Some people say this happens because most poor people are illiterate and do not know how to use preventive measures to avoid falling pregnant. Others joke about it by saying sex is the only entertainment the poor couple has at night. Rich people go to bed late because they have to watch a late night movie or they are browsing the internet.

Many years ago, it was very common and normal to see a couple with not less than six children. Many of us were born in families where there were 4 or more brothers and sisters. I can't remember any family that had less than 5 children during my childhood days. All my friends came from a family that had an average of six children and all of them had an age difference of not more than 2 years.

 I don't know whether this was an African tradition that had been carried on from long time ago. It was like some kind of prestige to have many children. Parents with more children were viewed with admiration and they introduced their children with pride to visitors. It was not a shame to hear someone proudly proclaiming "I have nine children, four boys and five girls".

At that time, many African women were full time house-wives and their sole purpose was to look after the family. But that has now changed. Many women are working or involved in businesses. This has resulted in many women reviewing their child bearing patterns to leave space for other things. In addition to that, many countries have undertaken serious campaigns on family planning. Couples are advised to space their children and plan for each child's future.

I refuse to accept that the reason why poor couples tend to have many children could be due to illiteracy because women are taught at the clinic in simple terms how to plan their families in their own local languages. They are also taught how to use contraceptives which are also cheaply available.

Maybe the reason why poor or underprivileged couples have many children could be attributed to the fact that they believe that these children will uplift their present living standards when they grow up and have their own jobs. In some ways what they do is putting up what may be termed a multiple investment. In old days, a large family usually had a large field and a huge harvest compared to a small family.

There is also one preposterous belief that when you have children, there are chances that some may die before they grow up. This was a very common belief many years back and I used to hear it a lot. People believed one must have eight or nine children so that if two or three passed away, you will still remain with five or four children. Having two children was considered a risk of losing all your children and remaining alone.

This may have been a reality in the old days before an advancement in modern medicines. A plague could devastate a whole village and sometimes even wipe out whole families. But now with the advent of modern medicine and prevention of many illnesses available, this has become a primitive idea.

The African culture values children so much that if a couple is married, everyone expects them to have a child with a year. If no child is forthcoming, that couple is viewed with suspicion and in almost all instances, the blame is on the woman. In some cultures, if a person dies at a ripe age without leaving any children, that person was buried with charms, to prevent his bad luck from returning in the family.

Sometimes even religion has an influence on such matters. Recently, the 45th general conference of the Presbyterian Church Women Wing in Aisawl, India,  passed a resolution that an awareness campaign advocating women to conceive more children  should be launched. Though this is in contravention to the national family planning policy, these church leaders believe the concept of multiplying is in accordance with the teachings of the bible in the old testament.

Ironically, the same underprivileged couples are so compassionate. In our society, when a relative dies and leaves behind children, other relatives take the responsibility of looking after those kids and in most cases, poor relatives are the ones left with this burden. The rich couples are reluctant to bring in their house a "dirty" illiterate child.

One man said the reason rich couples do not have many children is that they do not want to over pack their family car. And maybe this is one reason why the rich couples do not usually take responsibility of bringing orphans in their home because they know that the seats in the family car are already taken.

My own judgement on why poor couples have many children is because these people have a different plan for their kids. While a rich man will plan for the education of his kids, the poor man has no hope of educating his kids. The rich man will make sure before he has another child, the first child must be in a certain grade at school and he will have accumulated some money for the next child.

In the meantime, the poor man will think nothing about that. His plans for the children will be different. He will just think about how the kids will support each other when they grow up and the many they are, the better chances they will have to survive.

A poor person who does not have children will have no hope left at all.

DESPERATELY TRYING TO KILL THE MINISKIRT

There are mixed feelings among Africans to what is decent and indecent dressing. A lady was complaining about the dressing of two young ladies. Her comment was "As a parent I would never allow my daughter to expose her body like this. This is too extreme, or am I just old fashioned? Have times changed so much? If you share my sentiments, who do we blame?"

The two ladies in question were wearing tight shorts which were shorter and tighter than the shorts worn by soccer players. There were mixed reactions to the above woman's sentiments. Some people said there was nothing wrong because the young ladies had a choice to choose what to wear while some people said it was not African and it was against our tradition to dress like that.

This was not the first time that I was hearing this kind of debate. I have participated in many discussions concerning what is appropriate for an African woman to wear in public and every time this topic pops up it raises the issue of tradition. What is the African traditional dress code? Do we we even have one and should it always be followed?

Many people argue that when it comes to traditional clothing, we do not have any. Everything that we wear was copied from the western world and our ancestors only wore animal skins which were just enough to cover the private parts.

Others believe African traditional clothing is the vibrantly coloured fashions found around the continent. There are many fashions that are associated with or were created in Africa. In East Africa men wear a traditional dress called the Kanzu. Women wear the Kanga and gomesie. South Africa has it's own distinctive shirts like the Madiba named after the great Nelson Mandela who liked to wear it. There is also the Safari suit which was famous in Zambia and Zimbabwe. In Ethiopia, men wear the Ethiopian suit and women wear the Habesha Kemis while in Somalia you can find people wearing the Khameez with a small cap called a koofiyad.

However, many people still dismiss the above as not legitimate African clothing because they are modern clothes made from modern technology.

The reason why our ancestors wore animal skins or clothes made from trees or reeds was simply because they did not have a choice. They did not have the technology or know-how to make suitable material to cover their bodies. Even the white man who brought clothes to Africa, at one time he wore animal skins to keep himself warm.

Last evening I was  watching a documentary "World's Lost tribes" about a tribe in West Papua. These people wear no modern clothes and they do not mind at all. They have been living like that for a long time and they do not see the awkward side of walking around with just a small object covering your crotch. What if someone offered to give all of them clothes and shoes to wear, would they be comfortable wearing them?

I am sure even back then when clothes were first brought to Africa, our Ancestors who were used to wearing animal skins may have felt awkward and uncomfortable when they first wore "real clothes". But as they slowly got used to them, they may have started to like them and completely got rid of the old skins. The new clothes were warmer, fashionable and something new and exciting.

I know you can tell which part of the world someone comes from not only by the language that he speaks but also by what he is wearing too. But is a mini skirt synonymous to any particular continent?

I ask this because many Africans believe wearing short dresses or skirts that show too much of your legs is not an African way of dressing but something copied from the west. The miniskirt became very popular in the 1960s and it was a hot fashion trend. I am not sure if it caused so much debate back then but the miniskirt is  fascinating because it suggests both empowerment and vulnerability, independence and a desire to please, an attempt to cover and to reveal at the same time, maturity and playfulness and also liberation and exploitation.

One thing about fashion is it is never always the same because it keeps changing with every generation. What was trendy just a few years ago may suddenly become old fashioned. Fashion also has a tendency of coming back. The miniskirt is not something that is new.

In fact, there is evidence that the 1960s was not the first time that the miniskirt made it's first appearance. Archaeologists unearthed ancient figures dating between 5400 to 4700 BC and the female figurines appeared to be dressed in miniskirts. This prompted some scholars to speculate that miniskirts were common in the earliest civilizations.

Like the woman at the beginning of this article, there are many people who do not like the miniskirt. In 1968, a barmaid was reportedly killed by an angry mob who stoned her to death because they disapproved of the short and tight miniskirt she wore. In Russia, a father was arrested for hiring a hit man to kill his own daughter. Twenty women were also reportedly killed in Nigeria for wearing miniskirts and trousers. Even governments have not been left out on fighting the miniskirt. Recently, the Ugandan government re-tabled in parliament a proposed Anti-Pornography Bill which involves banning the miniskirt.

The big question is; why are some people so angry with the miniskirt? Is it because they do not feel comfortable seeing a woman's legs? Is it really about culture? In Africa, it is common to see young ladies undergoing initiation wearing very short traditional skirts with bare breasts. These images are put even in local newspapers and no one seems to be offended because it is "our culture".

Culture is dynamic. It is highly variable and a constantly changing phenomenon but one thing for sure is that no one will kill the miniskirt.

CHAOS

I was with my wife and kids and we were on our way to visit one of my wife's brother-in-law. My wife was driving the black SUV and I was sitting in the back with the children. We did not know his house but we expected to find him by the road side near a bus stop where we were to pick him up and go to his house. But when we reached the destination where we were supposed to meet him, we found that he was not there.

I rolled down the window and asked one of the people whether they have seen him and we were told that he was actually waiting for us but being a cop, he was suddenly called for an emergency at the police station. So we drove on to the police station and parked near the Recreation Club where there were hundreds of people. I was wondering what all these people were doing here. They all looked excited as if they were expecting something to happen.

Then I saw him. He did not see us because we were inside the vehicle. He was talking to someone and telling him that he was expecting us and when we arrive we must be allowed to get drinks and anything that we wanted. I was just about to open the door and let him know that we have arrived when it happened.

There was a bright flash which covered the whole sky. It was like the explosion that Sara Connor saw incinerate school children in the movie Terminator. But this light was not hot, it was just bright and for a moment I could not see a thing. When it cleared, I noticed that everyone and everything had disappeared. The clouds had fallen from the sky and they were just hovering on ground level like thick smoke. The earth had been split into many small islands floating on some kind of lava.

We got outside the vehicle and were joined by a few survivors. It seemed only people who were either indoors or in vehicles that had dark tinted windows survived the effects of the bright flash in the sky. Some of the people who had survived had turned into creatures, or Zombies if you like. These creatures were moving in packs, howling and attacking the few human survivors. There was chaos everywhere.

To make matters worse, we were joined by an old man with a very long white beard who kept prophesying more doom and taking away the little hope that we had. This man was dressed in robes and he had a wooden stuff in his hand. He almost looked like Gandalf but without the pointy hat. His eyes did not have the blacks in the men but where all white like a peeled boiled egg. I knew that there was no escape from this woe but having someone hammer it in your heard every second made me loathe him.

We started moving among the fallen clouds not knowing where we were were going. Then we heard a howling. The Zombie like creatures came in a pack of 7 or 9. It was obvious that they had not seen us so we quickly hid in the fog. Unlike your familiar Zombie, these were quick and they ran past us like wild dogs. As soon as they had passed, the old bearded man start warning us that soon the sky would be very dark and then become red and incinerate all of us.

"That will not happen" I finally said to him. "Why are you saying all that? Can't you see you're scaring the kids."

But before I could even finish speaking, the sky started turning into a crimson colour. I lost all hope. The howling creatures were also coming back. We all ran and hid ourselves under some foliage and  fallen clouds waiting for our inevitable deaths. We waited. Nothing happened.

I came out of the fallen clouds where I was hiding and to my surprise and amazement I saw the dark reddish sky start dissipating and in it's place a blue sky with a few white clouds started spreading across. I turned to the white bearded man and said.

"I told you it was not going to happen. See? The sky is coming back." I said.

Then I woke up.

It was such a strange dream cos it felt so real. I stayed in bed staring up and reliving everything. I then looked the watch and saw that it was 05:14 hrs and only a quarter of an hour before my alarm.

Then around 09:00 hrs when I logged on to my Facebook account I saw this status update by a friend;

How was your night?
1) Nightmare
2) Awesome
3) Not bad
4) Snappy (whatever that means)
5) Full of bad dreams
6) Full of good dreams
7) Other (specify)

My comment was: "Mine was Number 5. It was a combination of Terminator, The Living Dead and a snippet of 2012." to which someone responded "lol. Henry. Too much movies in your head. I have made a point to only watch comedy."

Could she be right? Have I been watching too many Zombie movies lately? Apocalyptic and Zombie movies are some of my favourite movies genres. I watch these movies without effect because they fascinate me. According to WebMD, there are many things that can cause nightmares and these include late night snack due to increased  metabolism, medication, drugs such as anti-depressants  and narcotics, withdrawal from medications and substances, sleep deprivation and the list goes on.

But whatever caused the dream I had, one thing that stuck in my mind was the Zombies. The Zombies in movies and books that I have read do not move very fast and they are incapable of climbing on top of things or over fences. But the Zombies that I saw in my dream were very quick. They were as fast as dogs and were not mechanical in their movement.

I have been thinking about the impossibility of a Zombie invasion if they were as slow as they are portrayed in movies. How can such slow creatures overcome a mighty army like the US Army by just biting them and with all the state of the art weapons? Maybe it is time someone created a movie with fast Zombies that are capable of opening doors, brandish a gun and climb a fence.
