The notion about the village being a place where evil occurs is still very much alive in the thoughts of humans. It is ideally supposed to be a place where people gather and reminisce on old times or catch up with distant families, visit sites and watch cultural displays, listen to stories of past legends and others but many a times, it’s been known to have its fair share of atrocities one of which is family feud or disputes over lands between family members.
A lady known as Sally gave her fair share of why she started getting scared of village people. She is a verified Twitter account holder and she wrote; “When I started getting scared of village people was years ago when I attended my friend father’s burial. His brothers killed him because of his own land ?, my friend Obi decided to fight his father’s brothers, they killed Obi in less than a month. I attended his burial too ??
Her story is quite deep and that’s one of the many untold cases happening in various villages. She didn’t stop there as the tweet gathered reactions from various people.
She went further to add; “The thing is some of you men are very stubborn and won’t listen. When they advise you not to go to the village because of the plans village people have for you, you don’t listen. It’s always what can they do? I’m a strong man. It’s very annoying.”
In as much as tensions are usually high in villages with a lot of family members being around, it’s still regarded as one’s home and there is a popular saying elders do use on people who go to their villages when they say ‘You might be with your family but your family might not be with you.’
What do you think of this lady’s unfortunate encounter with her friend’s village people?
