Do you know about the group of people called the BUZUZU people?
Follow me let's unveil these hoodlums in our society.
Who are the BUZUZU people?
They're those people that are usually contracted by various pastors, ministers and churches to perform fake miracles, create unusual scenes, dramas, to give fake scripted testimonies, used for doing fake deliverances and many strange arrangee things they do in various churches and are paid afterwards.
These group of people live together; males and females in groups, move from one town to another especially when invited and contracted by one or two churches or pastors.
These people have chosen this evil as their vocation. They are the ones whom you see used by several pastors to perform fake healings, giving fake testimonies before church members and used to donate fake huge amounts of moneis to attract others who would pay and pledge their hard earned monies to the church.
HOW DOES THE BUZUZU PEOPLE OPERATE?
These people are seen by their clients i.e pastors as contractors who only work for their daily bread. These pastors always shield them from public notice and awareness. They usually create committee of Caretakers who effectively oversee the smooth arrangements between what the pastor's scripts says and how well packaged the fake display would be with these BUZUZU people before or on the d day.
They even take weeks in rehearsing and mastering their respective scripts so as to deliver good jobs to their clients; the pastor. Before the d day of the program, the BUZUZU people must have memorized all that are expected of them to do according to their respective scripts. The church arrangement committee working with them always convey messages to and fro the pastor and these people. Ensuring that these BUZUZU people don't necessarily meet with the pastor in most cases. While some work directly with the pastor, no shaking. The Caretaker committee are responsible for ensuring all materials needed for smooth discharge of these evil acts in the church are provided before and or on the d day of the programme.😥
CLASSES OF BUZUZU PEOPLE.
It's rather unfortunate to note that these BUZUZU people are divided into classes just like actors and artists are classified into Up-comers and Veterans. The veterans are regarded as the oldies. Those who have lasted for years, made exploits and now bring in newbies into the system. They usually register these unsuspecting people, mostly youths and advanced individuals into this system using invitations, job hunting and church camping to deceive and lure their victims. They even rent houses for them as a camping area where they freely live and rehearse scripts carrying their respective roles. Very very sad indeed. While the Upcomers work hard to reach the heights attained by their mentors, the veterans, our people remains the target.😥
Regrettably, my people have continued to fall into the hands and deceits of these mischievous miscreants in their bids to looking for solutions to their economic, financial, emotional, family disputes, communal disagreements, social and marital problems in these churches were these fake scammers are being employed to deceive them. What a world we live in? My people are in danger. A life time danger.😥
What kind of mess are we in?😥
Who taught us these evils?😥
Is this the kind of Christianity the missionaries left before and after the civil war?😥
Why is Christianity not regulated like other religions are regulated?
The most annoying think about this is that these BUZUZU people lie, continue to lie, yet use the name of the Christian God to perpetuate their unstopping lies, deceits, religious hypnotism, as if not enough still get paid and go unnoticeably unpunished. What have we gotten into? 😥
These miscreants, the BUZUZU people have continued to serve as attractive tools to entice more members to the church with these fake acting and the worst part is that our people continue to fall prey to these evil antics. 😥
Honestly speaking, this is not what the missionaries taught our grandparents and fathers. They never used fake miracles to entice our people, among many things employed to coax our people. For crying out loud, fake miracle and prosperity gospels and actings are not in our Odinala. Never. 😥
The question now is, from where did we learn all these?😥
We must condemn evil irrespective of whose ox is gored.
Mad people everywhere.
