He made it rain, now it’s raining on him

-

THERE is a catchphras­e: “I make it rain.” It is a line taken from a track by American rapper, Fat Joe, featuring R. Kelly, T.I, Lil Wayne, Baby, Rick Ross and Ace Mac.

This is the same line usually hurled by our brothers who would have turned into overnight millionair­es as they throw money into the air in public spaces, and let the poor, in our numbers, scramble for cash on the ground.

And this dear “King” of ours is one of them who used to “make it rain” when things were flowing for him.

Indeed, he made money and lived a lavish lifestyle, occupying rented upmarket houses, known for their swimming pools and 50-acre lawn yards.

But somehow things turned upside down, and our dear brother is now back at his mother’s house in that other overcrowde­d high-density suburb, where most of the residents hailed from — the city’s oldest high-density suburb. Gentle reader, the boy is now in a sorry state!

He is begging for a lift into town to the extent of seating “paKadoma.”

Touts and vendors are taking turns to buy him US$1 lunch in town and these have become his friends, while those he used to roll with in the fast lane have suddenly disappeare­d.

Blabber is also reliably informed that whatever is happening to this bozo is a direct result of supernatur­al money spinning charms that he possessed.

Such is the uncontroll­ed love for money in our midst.

No wonder why they say, blood may be thicker than water, but money for the sake of, not only making money, but also to feed his goblins.

Yes, this other well-known filthy businessma­n who operates a small fleet of minibuses as well as two grinding mills on the outskirts of our beautiful city.

Residents in that other suburb located about 20 kilometres away from the central business district, on our way to the country’s oldest city, are now scared of randomly walking at night for fear of being kidnapped.

He is allegedly kidnapping people for his rituals.

Ladies and gentlemen, we actually have people in our midst who allegedly lost their parents after being kidnapped and murdered by this goon, and somehow he has a way of concealing his shenanigan­s.

Recently, there is this lady who cheated death by a whisker after almost being kidnapped by the businessma­n’s mercenarie­s.

Those with ears have heard!

 ?? ?? flows deeper than both! Oh by the way, what is this that we hear about this other local businessma­n who is continuing with his human blood rituals
