Lessons from a Dancing Juju

  • Series: Election Digests

Wonyamoeh!

Each time we interact on this FA platform and elsewhere, we gradually design our own juju clothes.

With constant criticism, too much arguing and quarreling, we sew ourselves confrontational juju outfit.

By encouraging people, supporting efforts and not associating with every negative vibe, we design peaceful juju outfit.

People naturally respond based on the juju clothes they see.

Confrontational juju, people keep their distance.
Peaceful juju, people feel safe and come close.

Here is the kicker:

Confrontational or peaceful juju, one day na one day, every juju go need help.

But when that day comes, the first thing people remember is the juju persona we spent years designing through our behavior, words, attitude, the people we associate with and our posture.

One would think that the quick solution to the juju at the clinic was to remove the costume before reaching the clinic so the nurses could see that inside the juju kabba is a person.

Truth be told, juju na person. These days juju di check text messages and receive money through MOMO.

But once we wear certain juju clothes long enough, moving away from that image no easy.

Maybe the question for all of us is this:

Which kind juju costume we di design for ourselves through the way we interact with others?

Oma Nanu!
