The London Daily Mail reports: “Police in Nigeria are holding a goat on suspicion of attempted armed robbery. Vigilantes seized the black and white goat, saying it was an armed robber who had used black magic to transform himself into an animal to escape after trying to steal a Mazda 323.”
This is a little bit too far fetched even for an X-file story. But apparently Africans will believe this sort of thing. These Nigerians are close cousins to the African Americans who just voted for Obama because they think he’ll solve all their social grievances. Maybe they think Obama will bail out all their subprime loans and buy their homes for them. Maybe they think Obama will deliver $50 per hour jobs for millions of Blacks with a sixth grade education. Maybe they think Obama will get them reparations for slavery. After all if Nigerians think a shape-shifting goat stole a car, then all these things are rationale by comparison.
The Daily Mail article continues “The group of vigilante men came to report that while they were on patrol they saw some hoodlums attempting to rob a car. They pursued them. ‘However, one of them escaped while the other turned into a goat,’ Kwara state police spokesman Tunde Mohammed said. ‘We cannot confirm the story, but the goat is in our custody. We cannot base our information on something mystical. It is something that has to be proved scientifically, that a human being turned into a goat,’ he said. Belief in witchcraft is widespread in parts of Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation. Residents came to the police station to see the goat, photographed in one national newspaper on its knees next to a pile of straw.”
Well thank goodness, the goat will get a fair trial and scientific evaluation.
Aren’t we fortunate to have as our President of the United States a man, who is just one generation removed from this rich body of African tradition? Perhaps Obama will hold a a televised address to the nation and turn himself into a goat to get our minds off the economy. Or better yet, he can turn himself into a goat at his first state of the union address, which at least would be some sort of “change” we can believe in.
