Parable of the Quails: Mwafrika Attachment to Foreign Religion and Gods

To understand Mwafrika confusion with foreign gods and religion the parable of
the recent quail saviour wave can help, maybe.....
After our genius wash wash money doublers and makers experienced quite a dry
spell after our quite wisening up that money doesnt grow on trees they hatched,
yes, hatched a scheme on quails farming business. Collected a few wild eggs here
and there, built hatcheries ....and bid their time then invaded all spaces, minds and
more importantly the pockets. Then the wash wash guys offloaded the quails to
people who had no clue about the shit but would defend it with their money,
lives.....
When the quail fever was at its peak you could easily be lynched for talking bad
of quails, their magical saviour eggs, feathers, bones and all bullshit. I remember
a friend who I cant name for security reasons did not take it well when I told him
we should just drink shangaa the money he was planning to expand the quailish
business. Wewe shinda hapo hutawahi tajirika... wivu ya nini. The fever matched
on despite not many admitting they eat that funny bird or its wizardly eggs. Sasa
unataka tuache biashara ya quail tufanye nini ju wewe ni mwerevu sana?? Uko na
nini wewe??
Cutting the quail chase we never heard the boom of the quails being flown away
to the wild with some refusing to leave the sheds where they were being fed and
treated like golden calf.
That as Mwafrika we are at that stage where we are asking what else can take the
place of foreign gods and jesus in our hollow lives is a sign of progress despite
quite slow.... In another century we could be like the mzungu missionaries after
getting our land, resources, markets, killing our productive artisan have let the
jesus fly into our wild hollow lives...lets do our duty
