Mary Nabila Muma had said another woman was using voodoo to steal her hubby, but on the way to return a rental car, she lost control of the vehicle on a busy freeway. "The police officers and all the people who saw the car and the scene of the accident instantly said that was divine intervention," she told the court. "I feel that God wants me to withdraw the case and hand Marcellus over to him." (Minneapolis Star Tribune)

Lose a husband, sacrifice a couple of chickens, wreck a card, and you're good.

Car, not card. I guess you could do that, too.

VOO DOO SPELL ON YOU!! seriously, if a woman wants my husband VOO DOO badly, she can have him. I believe true love can withstand a voodoo spell.

Why is this a "news" story? It's just some Woman's made up delusions. What's next, 8 yr old decides to spare the life of the Cobra Commander after impassioned plea from Sgt. Slaughter?
This woman is from Cameroon- last week there was a news article from Kenya where an angry mob chased down car thieves, all of which got away except one guy- who unwisely turned himself into a (wait for it) goat! They arrested a goat and charged it with grand theft auto.

Come on, people! So she believes in Voodoo? Just live and let die.

Hmm. Think what you want Twerp, but I have a few people here under MAJOR Voo-Doo spells. *Evil Laugh Here*.
Oops! I mean Yeah, Right! No power what-so-ever in Voo-Doo. *bars from Hendrix's "Voo-Doo Child" start here*

the goat was in Nigeria. And they have it in custody. Maybe because they are cynically planning on eating it, but the fact remains that a goat was apprehended and continues to remain in custody for attempted car-jacking.

Um......I doubt it.

RMM, I don't know how you do the Voo Doo that you do so well! What the Hell, it makes me wanna shoop, shoop a loop...
Posted by: troschne | Monday, February 09, 2009 at 02:24 PM
I know I'M not under RMM's voudou spell!!! Now, RMM, where exactly did you want me to wire that money to?
Posted by: USMerc | Monday, February 09, 2009 at 02:41 PM
Ah, my evil minions...
Troschne and Merc are the the best looking Voo-Doo dolls of the bunch. I got the stitching on their mouths just right with that Voo-Doo that I do do...
*another Evil laugh here*
Posted by: RockyMtnMac | Monday, February 09, 2009 at 03:16 PM
Troschne, it's been a long day. That's how you beat me to that line from our most holy of movies, Blazing Saddles. (I almost typed Blazing Salads. Dang it, Rachel Ray! Go away! No, wait. Bend over just one more time.)

Heh heh. Just so you know, at least one person caught the reference.

RMM--thanks for the compliment--I REALLY hope you double-stitched my mouth--I think it's pretty clear that single-stitching will never keep this trap shut!
anon--wasn't Paul McCartney in a band before Wings? (I hope I got that right...)
Posted by: troschne | Monday, February 09, 2009 at 06:29 PM
@troschne - yeah, wasn't it The Cockroaches or something like that?
One of the best Bond themes, IMHO.

REALLY????????? I DOUBT IT.;
Posted by: MONKEY JERK | Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 07:51 AM
Yeah, NC--something like that--or fire ants or something. I was actually borrowing from an OLD Billy Crystal routine--he was talking about how old he felt having young daughters, and they asked him that question. I have to say that I felt REALLY old over the weekend, when the new McCartney video came on (he has a new group), and there were several generations present, and we had to explain to the youngsters...help--I've fallen, and I can't get up!!
Posted by: troschne | Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 07:57 AM

Um, is there anyone out there who still really can't understand why Africa remains hopelessly in the Third World?

Um, is there anyone who really can't understand why all of the anons post flames and don't have the balls, nor the creativity to at least create a screen name?
Posted by: troschne | Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 05:46 PM
Forgot to fill in the field Troch. Ever wonder why people who think they're making a clever comeback fall flat on their ass, much like yourself? By the way, my comment still holds, just in case you were dopey enough to think this serves as a retraction. Africa IS still in the Third World, and a rampantly superstitious population (which its leaders exploit like crazy) is why, and why it's going to stay there until they wake the f*** up.
Posted by: slevkoff | Thursday, February 12, 2009 at 02:27 PM
Slevkoff has a point. It's nothing to do with being Black--it's to do with being ignorant, and ignorance is color-blind. African people have been held hostage by rulers who have no concern for their peoples' wellbeing, and who manipulate them through starvation and war, and diseases like AIDS, because they know that the people can always be held in check by making threats of 'supernatural' retribution against them if they don't obey the rulers' orders. Some of the manifestations of that might seem funny to us, like this story, or the guy turning himself into a goat; but the subtext of the culture that these stories imply isn't funny at all for Africans, it's tragic. Until they can get past this, they will continue to be exploited, and we can laugh all we want--but there might come a time when we won't find what results from ignorance so funny anymore.

Dear readers and writers;
I like to thank all of you who took your time to respond to my case. A lot have been written and i am very thankful. Not long from now, the truth will be out, and all those who thought i had made up stories or that voodoo is not real will learn one or two lessons. Gladys Feh Gwanmesia openly admits that she has used supper voodoo on Marcellus Ndanjong Muma, yet people are doubting my story. Gladys is now confessing to her family pleading for forgiveness. I will update the world publicly of the outcome for the battle is not yet over. This battle belongs to the Lord and in his own time, he will use me to teach the world one or two lessons. I am working on a book about this whole voodoo stuff which will be published in God's own time. Later, my story will be acted in a movie.
My goal is that through my personal testimonies which will be in the book and the movie, hundreds of people will believe that voodoo which is from satan is real. It will also help people to believe that God talks directly to people he has chosen.
The title of my book will be something like this; "Jesus in me". How God used Mary N Muma to proof that Voodoo/witch craft is real.
Thanks once again for all the commends. Please stay tune.
Mary Nabila Muma
