The Deception of Foreign Faiths and the Power of Ancestral Objects

A critique of how foreign religions have demonized traditional African spiritual tools like horns and gourds, despite their presence in biblical texts. I argue for a return to ancestral laws and rituals as the only path to true health, sovereignty, and economic freedom.
Why I Am Proud of My "Witchcraft".
I am tired of this confusion you are all suffering from, brought by these Americans and their new religions. You have been brainwashed to believe that the minerals, libations, and spiritual tools of your ancestors specifically the gourd (kibuyu) and the horn (pembe) are satanic. I am telling you now: I stand here boldly with my charms and my tools. You can call me a witch if you want; I do not care. I know that these items are the source of our indigenous power, and I will not throw them away just to please your foreign god.
Your Own Bible Uses My Tools.
You run to church and quote the Bible, but you do not even understand what you are reading. Look at the book of Samuel! Did he not carry a horn filled with oil to anoint King David? If the horn is evil, then your Bible is evil. I see the Westerners here collecting buffalo skulls and horns for their homes, calling it "art," while they laugh as you burn yours. They know the power these objects hold, and they have tricked you into disarming yourselves.
We Are Slaves to Debt.
You are fools if you think borrowing money from the West is a sign of progress. The Americans are selling off their own gold reserves just to pay their debts to China, yet here we are, begging them for loans? I tell you, we have "rotten minds" (akili mbovu) if we think this is the way. We are selling our children's future and our land’s resources to people who do not wish us well. We must stop behaving like beggars and reclaim our own wealth.
Your Modern Comforts Are Illusions.
You think you have "arrived" because you live in the city with a television and a sofa set? You are living like a chicken with its head cut off. These modern things are just distractions. You have no spiritual protection, no connection to the land, and no ancestral capital. When real trouble comes when the "beating" starts your furniture and your city apartment will not save you. You need the protection of the rituals you have abandoned.
How I Saved a Dying Man.
I had a student whose father was over 80 years old and dying. He wanted to bring him to Dar es Salaam for modern doctors, but I told him, "No. If you bring him here, he will die." I ordered him to go back to Kilimanjaro and perform the mila (rituals). He listened to me, went home, made the sacrifices, and poured the libations. Now, that old man is walking and recovering. That is the power of our tradition; it works where your hospitals fail.
Learn from the Maasai, Not the Politicians.
Look at the Maasai people; they do not get hit by cars or die from mysterious illnesses because they keep their Laibon and their rituals close. Compare them to your big politicians who fly to India for expensive treatments they almost always come back in a casket. If you want to live a long life, look at what the colonizer tells you is "bad" and do exactly that. That is where your safety lies.
