Herbal or Agunmu what ?
Foolish people take herbal medicine
I hate gunmen! Herbal medicine is not for me.
I cannot stoop so low to buy it
Agunmu is bad
Local product
I don't like it
One baba or iya will just
Admixture different plants together
Claimed to be medicinal
And start to hawk and dispense it
To you people
I hate agunmu or herbal concoction
At Ilaji Resort yesterday
When the Tapa woman
Who hawked the herbal concoction
Approached me to have a sample
Of her varieties of body refurbishing herbal particles
I wanted to give it a trial
I put my hand forward
And started to mix different types of ground
Particles that smell somehow
I was pissed off
What is this?
As I was about dispensing it into the air
One of the Ogbomoso boys named Remi Oladoye
Quickly licked the stuff off my palm
" you don't know the value Omo Iya o iru "
I pity you, I told him
Sir, hope you can still retain the smell in your memory?
Of course, it smells somehow
You missed sir, that combination is for general servicing of the body "
What Is It? I asked
Look, Remi, Anti Taiye Oladipo gave me a load of better drugs in the US
Anti I have not used any of the fantastic drugs of the Oyinbos from the US of A
Just come to my house tomorrow and get some Instead of this rubbish which you are licking.
Remi smiled
Getting home
Straight I fetched two out of the packets of drugs that Anti Taiye bought for me
Opened the packs
Saw the neatly packaged super drugs from the US
In sachets and capsule
However, something happened
The smell oozing out of the capsule was like the smell of one of the grounded particles put
On my palm by that Tapa woman at Ilaji Resort
Which I wanted to throw away but licked by Remi
What is happening?
I was propelled to untie the capsule
And lo and behold
Walahi, it was the same Particle
I also tried to open the sachet
It was just like one of them
I pity myself
I pity you
Fake you
The same herbal
The same water admixture which we called the concoction
Is what we loath just because they are made here
Just because we feel ours is Inferior
Just because we are fake
Just because maybe of branding and packaging
However, we shall get there day
Agunmu is agunmu
Whether branded or not
Wise people take agunmu
Foolish people fake it
Staying healthy is good for you
Special thanks to Taiye A Oladipo and Temidayo Aboderin.
