A National insanity

In my little years of walking through the different streets of the different states of Nigeria, I have come across mad people of different ages, sex and race and for every moment I see them I could only take pity on them and pray that God will have mercy on their soul. In all of these my walk, I have never come across a group of mad people flocking together like sheep without shephered but since the end of age is near I heard of one recently.Though not physically present, I was told that in Zambia, Prostitutes in Lusaka’s Kanyama, John Laing, Chawama and Kalingalinga compounds offered themselves free of charge to every Jim and Jack as part of their celebration after Zambia beat Ghana 1-0 at the Nations Cup. A check at nightclubs such as Kanyama’s Kanchembele and Chine Chikayeba found long queues of men waiting to have sex with a limited number of prostitutes. A single prostitute served nearly 11 men and there were more than 200 men wanting to celebrate Zambia’s first qualification to the Africa Cup final since 1994 in style. The situation was the same at John Laing’s Corogo night Club which is situated just opposite John Laing Basic School. But with a better madness in action at Corogo, a man in his mid twenties was beaten up after he took long to attain orgasm when his turn to have sex with the prostitute came.In all of these, a soccer fan, who claimed not have taken part in the ‘mass servicing’ of prostitutes, said the development was unfortunate, hearing this I was getting interested that at least, one of the people is not totally mad but the last straw that broke the Carmel’s back was when Mike Tembo suspected that many young people might have contracted the HIV virus and other STIs during the ‘sexual celebration ’and said “I think when Zambia plays the final, free condoms need to be provided so that we can protect our young men. Many of them had sex with the prostitutes without condoms,” Now I know that this is a general state of madness, and like I usually do whenever I see mad people on the road, let us keep praying that God will have mercy on them.
