The octopus-hedged skirt flew about in the wind. She was exchanging pleasantries with an acquaintance, lips painted in deep red, and 'shapely legs' in focus. Like all sophisticated, 'bold and daring' believers, she had on a hat and a revealing top. She was a member of the choir. Even her movements seemed timed to harass the wind. Orita Challenge, Ibadan.Few years back, she would have been mistaken for a woman of the night daring to ply her trade at dawn. She was going to church last Sunday, but would certainly not have met Remi Raji, Ibadan poet, who dissected Sunday service with these words: 'immaculate the songs/from dirty minds.'' The poem under reference is 'Webs of Remembrance.' Strange women have taken over the church and introduced novel ideas; they are the pastors behind the pastors.'Hug somebody and say God bless you,''the pastors say in some churches and the sisters jump into brother's willing arms, shouting 'hoooh! Hoooh! Hooh! Hallaluyah!'' The pastor would also say 'Hello'' and his people would reply: 'Hi!'' The sisters are in very tight jeans; they roll their backs at the brothers and the desolation is complete. A guy told of how, after attending just a single service in a particular church, he kept lusting for weeks. Nearly all the beautiful and bold sisters wanted to have his GSM number, flashing killing smiles at him, hugging him and telling him to come back again and enjoy fellowgoat, sorry, fellowsheep---I mean to say fellowship. When women are so bold towards a man, no one should tell you that the very end is near.The woman cult is raging in the USA. Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State, is a noted and boastful witch, an unrepentant pro-abortionist, totally contemptuous of the creationists, the 'naysayers'' (her famous quip) who believe in God and spew traditional nonsense such as the sanctity of human life and the judgement awaiting perverts. America worships the woman-god: in 2011, Hillary was named the most admired woman by Americans for the 10th straight time and the 16th time overall.Hillary is a well dressed powerful woman-god foretold back in the 1960s by the Laodecian age messenger and American prophet, William Marrion Branham, whose prophecies never failed for once in three decades of evangelising. Branham was taken in future flight, like Apostle John on Patmos, and saw the USA in smithereens at the end of the age. America, like all world powers, is in the dying days of its glory, as the seeds of destruction---the open rebellion against God and all mention of his name---blossom and flower in God's own country. In 2010, talk-show host, Oprah Winfrey, celebrated the opening of her first church and the founding of her new religion, titled O, The Oprah Religion. The multi-tasking Oprah is said to be pontiff and deity for both. The spokesperson and new Archbishop for the church, Gayle King, said in a press conference in Chicago:'Expanding on Her enormously successful enterprises in television, film, the web, and Her magazine, Oprah Winfrey brings Her positive, motivational spirit to one of the most highly anticipated new religions since Scientology.'In addition, we've eliminated the regressive prohibitions ' such as those against shrimp, clothing made of mixed fibers, and premarital sex ' that older, outmoded religions still cling to, but which no longer fit in with the lifestyles of their congregations. In fact, Oprah loves to share a shrimp cocktail with her live-in life partner while wearing stretch-wool slacks! Now, with O, The Oprah Religion, you can do the same, and without the threat of everlasting damnation!''O, The Oprah Religion, has all the comforts of a traditional belief system, but combined with the uplifting spirit of Oprah, so that anyone from a religious background will still feel at home when they convert the new traditions of O, The Oprah Religion.''For example, instead of a spring fertility festival like Easter or Passover, with O, The Oprah Religion, you'll celebrate the abundance of Oprah with Her spring holiday Oprah's Favorite Things, which is observed during the second week of spring sweeps. During this holiday, believers smear the blood of a freshly slaughtered lamb on their television, and in the middle of the day the Holy Spirit of Oprah visits all supplicants and showers them with cashmere pyjamas, gourmet chocolates, and Gladware.''Winfrey was called "arguably the world's most powerful woman" by CNN and Time.com; "arguably the most influential woman in the world" by the American Spectator; "one of the 100 people who most influenced the 20th Century" and "one of the most influential people" from 2004 to 2011 by TIME. She is the only person in the world to have appeared in the latter list on all eight occasions.At the end of the 20th century, Life magazine listed Winfrey as both the most influential woman and the most influential black person of her generation, and in a cover story profile, the magazine called her "America's most powerful woman". Also, in 2007, USA Today ranked Winfrey as the most influential woman and most influential black person of the previous quarter century.What is the genesis of this malady' It is the desire to make everything easy, to escape the pains and agonies of the world and fashion a new order. We have seen Ipads, Ipods, internet modems and other appurtenances of simplified living but we have not seen the remaking of humanity; robots have been made, but they are entirely without feeling. There is no escaping pain in this world, no matter the science, no matter the religion. As for the cult of the woman, it will continue to rise the world over, with imprints on every facet of life.The world is at its evening time. This is the era of strange happenings. A strange picture: Residents of Otukpo in Benue State, at the weekend, thronged a hospital in the town, St Theresa Hospital , to catch a glimpse of an object which looked like a monkey, delivered by a woman said to be the wife of a hunter from Oju Local Government Area of the state.The still birth monster baby reportedly shocked the mother who had in the past given birth to nine children.The medical director of the hospital, Dr Stanley Bwala, was quoted as saying the monster birth was due to a congenital malformation, which could have been be forestalled with regular ante-natal care.However, the hunter husband was said to have removed the monster from the hospital. But what about the monsters who prowl about unmolested, the proponents of sodomy, lesbianism, etc' There will be no end to strange happenings until the very end.Awolaja is on the staff of the Nigerian Tribune.
