Are curses or swearing really viable especially when the other party Who committed the supposed crime had a reason to do so. Looking back at the history of African tradition, we would see that they have deep rooted beliefs in the metaphysical and had beliefs for virtually every aspect of life because then, religion was not in the play.
Hence, they had deep rooted beliefs in the areas of curses and swearing. A situation occurred this morning in my environment that made me want to write about the potential effect of courses, if they are really viable when the perpetrator did what he or she did for their own good. We all know that curses are utterances made by people which could have spiritual effect on the life of the Victim. It can be seen as a form of punishment for an offender and from my research so far there are different types of curses that can be laid on a person.
We have the easy ones which involves people merely making utterances about how a person who did something should be punished and also there is the complicated one where people will have to go to a traditional herbal doctor to perform rituals to a particular god so as to Hasting the curse made and the repercussion should be grave and dangerous to the person. The general essence of laying curses or swearing on a person, community or an organization has one goal in mind, which is to bring about misfortune for the offense of the person presently or in the future.
So in this compound where I stay, it is composed of three bedrooms apartments with three families altogether. But one thing the other neighbors are doing that is entirely wrong in the face of man and humanity at large is the fact that they are rearing fowls or chicken and they let them roam around the surroundings, messing up the entire place. When you get to accuse them about the situation of things, how their chickens trespass and use their excretas to dirty our environment, they deny that it was the other persons chicken and so on, no one really accepts the blame. It got to a point that we got tired of complaining and we decided to device a means of driving them away, although not successful because these animals can be stubborn at times.
So, fast forward to this morning, we woke to one of the neighbors complaining and cursing that someone broke the leg of one of her fowls and another one has disappeared. Apparently, no one has an idea as to how that happen and I am glad that it was not my family despite the ordeal they have made us pass through. But at the same time, I was glad that one of them had disappeared making the stress less.
My point is that, the way these fowls destroy peoples property, mess up people surroundings both in the compound and outside, eat up people food that they dried outside and so on, would her cursing take effect now?
I feel that someone hit the foul really hard to the extent that he broke its leg because they were causing havoc to her properties and it wasn't action that needed to be taken to drive the foul away but for the owner to start causing at the person I doubt if that would take effect because she was wrong not to have caged her file properly and to leave them wondering around causing damages to people's apartment and properties.
