The Fake Prophet

I had tried all possible means to succeed in life but to no avail. One day I decided to visit a prophet. The prophet promised to deliver me but I had to pay 15,000 Naira. I went and borrowed the money from my uncle.

The next day, I handed over the 15,000 Naira to the prophet. After series of speaking in tongues, the prophet said, Young man, your mother-in-law is a witch and she is the cause of your problems."

Surprised, I replied, Ahhhh! But I'm not married!

After another round of speaking in tongues, the prophet said, Error, error, you did not pull off your shoes outside.

I went outside and pulled off my shoes. The prophet asked, But do you have a stepmother?

I replied, Yes.

After the third round of speaking in tongues, he said, Yes, yes, yes! Your stepmother covered your destiny inside a pot and hid it under her bed. Go home and break the pot!

I got angry and pulled off my shirt.

Wait, wait, wait! What is that for? The prophet asked.

Angrily, I replied, Give me back my 15,000 Naira or else two of us will die here!

The prophet retorted, Meaning?

I replied, Because my stepmother died before my father married my mother!
