When the Elders Speak…

“I am going to make you know the hostility… that exists between the Catholics and the Foto Chieftaincy. Because before hanging the chief (of Foto)… they called the priest to come and see him… to baptise him. He (the chief) said: ‘Why baptise me?’ And he (the priest) replied: ‘When you are baptised, you will go to heaven.’ And the chief said: ‘Did I… did I tell you that I don’t like this earth?’ (Laughing) Ehehe Ehehe Ehehe. ‘Why do they want me to go to heaven? I would like to stay here on this earth. If… if he loves me (that much), let him beg his friend, his brother (the administrator) to leave me (so that) I can stay here’. He refused to be baptised.”
