Letter to Senior Opupulepu (214)

All Obolos banished from entering Yahweh’s Kingdom

Dear Senior Opupulepu,

How are you do? As for me and my mine, we are do fine.

Senior,as you are awarewe are prepare to celebrate Christus-Mass, not that Mass that members of Katholico worshipers’ assembly celebrate, where they can kneel, stand and sit more than hundred times as they force themselves on Yesu Christus Emmanuel to love them, small.

Senior, as you know this Christus-Mass is the birthday of Yesu Christus Emmanuel. The only difference between this birthday and the ones we celebrate is that, Homo Sapiens buy presents for themselves and not for the birthday boy.

Senior, yes, no one buys anything for the birthday Boy, Yesu Christus Emmanuel. And most annoyingly, the daughters of Eve will produce a list of demands to whomever it may concern, to buy everything on that list and parcel them and give it to them as gifts. These lists can outclass and outnumber the list an Abusuapanin presents to a prospective son-in-law who is wanting his daughter’s hand in marriage.

Senior, the atmosphere, climate and weather in Ogyakrom at this time of the year promises a very sweet and wonderful Christus-Mass, not the Katholico Mass, some.

Senior, all and sundry, sundry and all, are feverishly and malaria-ly, preparing for the event of the year, hoping it will the best since our Omanhene, the Great Leopard, sat his fat something on the throne.

Senior, the main reason for this anxiety and anticipation of the rejoice and rejoicing mood coming was that, events some few moons past made it look like there will be eclipse of the sun all over Ogyakrom throughout the birthday celebration of Yesu Christus Emmanuel.

Senior, first some kubolor boys took the Trump village cowry called dolla, and tied it to a long string and went into the opening and flew it as they would a kite. This dolla, started enjoying fresh clean air and flew higher and higher, over the hills and far away.

Senior, this created panic and fear because try as Ogyakromians could our cowry refused to fly. He said that he is not a fool to fly this kind of flying. “What if the rope tear and I fly to a land of cannibals and be eaten alive or used to lit fire to cook human meat? Or what if I come tumbling down and fall down poom, like Humpty Dumpty did?”

Senior, our cowry refused to fly laa, and the result was that prices of goods and services, without permission decided to fly in his place. Forty pieces of kelewele which sold for five cowries, went two pieces for ten cowries.

A basket of tomato which cost twenty cowries, settled on,at two tomatoes for fifteen cowries. Even chewing stick which went at buy one get two free at one-tenth of a cowry for one, shot up to one stick for five cowries. And here, some people stopped brushing their teeth.

Senior, in the midst of all these hardships Ogyakromians daughters of Eve, continue to make demands on the akupas. Some of the sons of Adams had to relocate on by-force transfer and promised to come back only after the Christus-Mass celebrations.

Senior, then Ogyakromians heard a loud cry in the skies, when they look up they saw the Trump dolla diving down fast and shouting “Help, help, somebody protect me.” What was wrong? Dollasaw something no human must see and he was so terrified.When he finally landed, he suspended himself at the level he used to be before. All and sundry and sundry and all saw that he was too frightened even to talk.

Senior, then the Ogyakromian cowry, laughed out loud and took his rightful place among the peoples. Then prices of goods and services fell down poom and there was rejoice and rejoicement in the whole of Ogyakrom. With a just a few cowries, one could do three moons shopping. This has never happened in Ogyakrom before.

Senior,all in the Ogyakrom, the slim ones and the skinny ones, those who were like pencil that have been sandpapered; the body ones and the macho and the last but not the least, the obolos, were busily preparing for the Christus-Mass celebrations.

Senior, suddenly a certain senior foreman of the Potter’s Village Church, called Okomfo Nyamenipa Nasei, shouted and said he was visited by Yahweh and had this message for all and sundry, sundry and all.

Senior, he said Yahweh has decided that no obolo will be accepted in His Kingdom, ever again. When asked WHOW? A combination of Why and How, he said, Yahweh said the obolos in His Kingdom are overeating too much and are causing food shortages and creating famine up there.

Senior, what is even frightening is that this Okomfo Nyamenipa Nasei is speaking in the wilderness, like John the Water-Baptiser, the cousin of Yesu Christus Emmanuel.

Senior, as it is most of the obolos in Ogyakrom have diverted course and instead of buying food, meat, sweets and drinks, they are now buying waist bands, sliming tablets, exercising machines and jogging shoes.

Senior, as for some of the obolos, they are saying, “what will si, should si!” In short, what will happen can happen.

Senior, luckily like you I am not obolo, so I am safe and I am Dan, sorry I am done.

Its, me!
