Business is a tough affair akin to war. In fact some business schools offer war games in their strategies and tactics classes. If you ever ran even a roasted-groundnut stall, you would know what I mean.
Today the groundnuts are burned, and yet your esteemed customers expect you to be at that corner with the kind of quality products that bring hoards of office workers at break time to your door. The next day your supplier didn’t deliver and, again, your customers expect you to be there otherwise you begin seeing fewer and fewer of the regulars that you crack jokes with. Ad infinitum—you get knocked down, kicked below the belt, or even, literally, spat on by customers. All the while people are thinking you are a success, when you are roiling inside as your cash is tied up and soon URA might shut you down for late payment.
It is tough running a business. It requires mental toughness and a Jujitsu agility to succeed. Yet some people seemingly do it effortlessly, having discovered the Midas touch. Many seek exotic aids to acquire that rare quality. This is where child sacrifice meets business.
Holding a decapitated head and severed genitals would make most of us retch and quake with horror. However, when the Kajubis of Uganda take the decapitated heads and genitals and do with it what the witch doctor prescribes, they achieve the mental edge, hence the Midas touch in business. From then on they fear nothing—nothing fazes them. Note Mr. Kajubi is relaxed and smiling—even with hand calves on. Now he is armed with the daring and quantum thinking that brings great rewards in war, business and, even winning the hearts of goddesses. Did somebody not proclaimed in his thesis paper at the University of Dar-Es-Salaam that the path to power is to hold the severed head of an enemy?
It is sick. All this could be achieved with techniques other than the horrors of war or macabre rituals.
