Here’s a real life story my dad told me. Thread.
Orphaned at a young age, he and his elder brother were sent to live with an uncle. This uncle also had 3 male kids. They all lived together in the house.

One day, this uncle hid his money and it got missing.
He lined up all the kids in the house & asked them who had taken the money he placed in the cardboard. Nobody owned up. He trusted his kids so much that he believed none of them took it.

He decided to make whoever stole that money pay for what he did. For he had planned to use that money for something important.
But the method he had chosen to punish the person by was a gruesome one.

Determined to find out and severely punished the thief, he went out of home to buy some items.
He returned armed with a bottle of schnapps, a cup of water and one fresh egg. Like joke like joke, Uncle cursed the thief.
But who believes in curses right?

3 weeks later, his oldest son passed away.
A strong boy suddenly falls ill and starts to rot. He couldn’t be saved. Uncle had killed his own child.
Well, did uncle think my dad and his brother had taken the money instead? That’s a story for another day.

Moral lesson?
Dad said to me, “Kojo stay away from money arguments. If somebody argues you didn’t give them an amount of money or they gave you a certain amount and it’s not true and you’re finding it difficult to prove yourself or make them understand, just let it go”

The other?
“Life and death lies in the power of the tongue. Use it wisely. Use it to uplift. Don’t use it to tear down”
“The person you are trying to curse today, you might need tomorrow”
