The spiritual leader controlled the “mmuo” entity into sitting down. Then he brought his hands took it up; seem to be showing every body that there was nothing with him. The next thing he did was to put his hands somewhere in the air and he brought out a clean dagger. Every body around screamed. To me it was like a movie or a dream and still I was trying to wake up because I know this act is impossible. While I was still trying to comport myself another striking one happened. He let out his tongue and started cutting it into pieces by himself. I felt like running away but Emeka held me down. He told me that I haven't seen anything yet, that the show was just beginning.
The spiritual leader, after cutting out his tongue into pieces, took them and swallowed it again, did some signs and he was given water and he drank it swallowing his pieces of tongue. After about fifteen second of incantation, he opened his mouth and to my greatest awe, was a bleeding free new tongue. As if it has never been hurt. He walked around showing every body in other to prove his magical powers. And that was not all. He took the same dagger and pierced it into his right chick and coming out through the left chick. And at this point people began to spray their money on him as a sign to show their appreciation to his black powers. To me, I nearly went mad on my part.
While all these power display was going on, another masquerade of the same size came in to the open field. And at this point the “mmuo” entity cooled by the spiritual leader sprang up into its feet and comforted the new entity that came into the picture. I noticed that the two entities were of equal but opposite spiritual hierarchy but not of the same level of power and so they were of course a power tussle to show superiority. At this happening the crowd increased by 100% and was uncontrollable in their feeling.
The power tussle by these two entities was not a physical one but a metaphysical one. At first, their display of power seemed like Childs play because the signs they were displaying where meaningless to me. I got the shocker of my life when the strangest thing happened in my presence. The mmuo entity gave an order-like sign, which made the other intruding entity to begin to float into thin air, at the center of the field and without any aid to take it up. It got to a position in the air and the mmuo entity gave another sign like order that made the floating entity to hang on the air.
My mouth was left wide open and my tongue rolled out. At this point, the mmuo entity brought out a thin thread and threw it into space leading into a thick bush part. But for Christ sake this thread was also hanging on the air. The mmuo entity climbed unto this thread in the air and walked on it leading into the bush part until it got into the bush at a point where no one could see it again, of course with it instrument group and spiritual leader following it into the bush. Leaving the other entity hanging. I guessed at this point my imaginations could not take it anymore,
so I fainted!
.
I was later revived back at Emeka's home by some traditional means. I asked after what happened to the other entity, I was told that it had to take the presence of another powerful spiritualist to get it down from the air.
I guess Emeka fulfilled his promise of filling me with memories whenever I come to Africa. I don't know if I will ever get this kind of experience again but for this one shot, will remain a cherished memory all the days of my life.
I will be traveling to another town soon and I hope to get more thrilling stories for you all. But get to know this. That while you are at home watching movies on cinemas on TV screens, I will be watching mine for real, here in Africa. At least for the time that I get to spend here. So ever wonder why I called these actors
SMALL GODS IN AFRICA.
