BRODA SISTA MATTER

Posted by 9jabook.com on May 13, 2009 at 6:21am
by Pamela Braide The best stories come from 3 sources, okada (commercial motorbike) riders, taxi drivers and hair dressers. Doing my hair today I wasn’t disappointed. Irritated by the loud drumming coming from a nearby, prayer/miracle house, church, my hairdresser launched into full griot mode. Her main vex was the brother sister syndrome in a particular popular Pentecostal I wont mention. Apparently once you attend the first time you are assigned a brother or sister to help keep you on the spiritual path. Presumably this means making sure the new sheep comes to church services, prayer meetings, and tarry nights. One thing though; the monitor is always of the opposite sex. For my poor dear hairdresser the new attendee was her boyfriend and he was assingned a nublie "sister". So her boyfriend acquired attachee by divine authority who proceeded to keep him centered in the path of righteousness through showing up in his house to cook, wash his clothes as well as the aforementioned duties. As expected his girl reads out the riot act. Hairdresser … Aunty which kin broad sista tin be dat? Wen dem dey alone na church dem go discuss?De babe dey even carry her money go market come cook for my man… I no gree oh! My hairdresser says spiritual guide has gots to go and her man is scared to shove her cos the church will be upset so she decides to follow her boyfriend to his new Pentecostal church one fine Sunday morning (she’s a catholic). Well at some point they ask all the new comers to stand up to be welcomed and her man begs her not to stand up. She asks why and he justs begs her frantically not to. After service he explains to her that if she stood up the church would have attached a Brother to her for spiritual guidance!The wise babe informed him that if he didn’t stop this whole charade she was coming to his church the next Sunday on her own, would stand up during the newcomers’ introduction and collect her own “Brother” to guide her down the paths of righteousness. Abi na only him wan reach heaven? *loud hiss* This is where her man came to his senses. His “Sista” reported him to the church once he stopped her from being intrusive and he received a scolding from the pastor, she then stopped speaking to him. In fact when she comes across my hairdresser she walks right past her. Can you imagine the nerve? If their relationship had been shaky it and the church sister a bit more subtle and patient it could have worked. These people put a whole new spin on the term hooking a sister up! thanks pam ! http://pdbraide.blogspot.com/2007/12/broda-sista-matter.html
