NO PANTS NO PROBLEM: This is Why You Should Be Careful Who You Follow #Africantales #Folks

once upon a time in a small peaceful Village called ITI life was simple one Bright Morning a loud sound of a motorcycle echoed in the village a woman named Tenny had arrived from the big city she was young beautiful and full of confidence but what caught everyone's attention was her dressing she wore tight jeans and a short blouse that showed her belly her nails were painted red her earrings dangled and she wore a pair of high heeled shoes that clacked loudly on the ground the villagers had never seen anything like it as Tenny walked through

the village the men whispered ah see beauty while the women frowned shaking their heads the village girls watched her with wide eyes admiring her confidence they had never seen someone so bold Tenny had come to visit her aunt mama tulani mama tulani was an elder in the village and lived in a small mud house with a thatched roof when Tenny entered Mama Tani dropped the broom she was holding and stared Tenny she cried what are you wearing e are you not ashamed this is a village not your Lagos Tenny laughed her voice like the tinkling

of broken glass Auntie don't worry they will get used to it Mama Tani placed her hands on her waist and sighed deeply hm this girl will not kill me you will see the elders will start to talk behave yourself here tiny tiny winked and twirled in her high heeled shoes Auntie I'm just here to enjoy myself let me breathe Mama tolani shook her head muttering to herself as she went back to her sweeping outside the villagers couldn't stop talking about Tenny the men whispered to each other saying ah see the short dress see how her

waist swayed she did not even wear pants another added while the women hissed saying this one has come to bring trouble but the girls oh the girls they could not take their eyes of Tenny they whispered among themselves who is she did you see her head did you see her nails and so from the moment Tenny arrived the once quiet Village of irti began to buzz like a beehive disturbed by a stick soon The Village girls began to visit Mama Tani's house to see Tenny they were curious about her City Life Auntie Tenny is it

true that in the city girls don't need to pound yam or fetch water one girl asked Tenny smiled of course in the city men take care of everything you only need to look good and enjoy life the girls gasped in amazement Tenny showed them her clothes her makeup and even her phone she taught them how to walk with confidence and how to speak with charm men love it when you look beautiful and act bold she said that's how you get their attention and their money at first the girls hesitated they had been raised to dress

modestly and focus on helping their families but they were mesmerized when they left Mama Tani's house their minds buzzed with new ideas they began to practice what Tenny had taught them they tied their rappers higher letting their legs peek out and painted their lips red using the Dy meant for ceremonies they even practiced walking like Tenny the steps bold and confident though some wobbled like baby goats learning to stand at first they were careful only dressing up when their parents weren't watching but as the days passed their boldness grew the one shy and modest girls

of ireti now carried themselves with an air of confidence that left the villagers Whispering e what is happening to our daughters one woman asked clutching her chest it's that City girl Tenny another replied she has Bewitched them but the girls didn't care in their eyes Tenny was a queen and they were her apprentices the village of ITI was beginning to change one confident step at a time one day Tenny called a few girls to her aunt's house she said she had a plan to help them get rich you see men like to spoil beautiful girls

with gifts Tenny explained all you have to do is spend time with them they will buy you clothes shoes and even give you money listen Tenny said her tone serious now men are like goats they follow wherever you lead them all you have to do is look good speak sweetly and they will shower you with gifts clothes shoes money you can have it all but aduk hesitated what if our parents find out Tenny laughed her voice low and smooth that's where you must be smart tell them you're going to fetch water or help at the

market be careful and no one will know the girls fidgeted their doubts written on their faces but we were taught not to do such things another girl whispered tenny's smile faded and her eyes grew Shar do you want to live your whole life pounding yam and fetching water or do you want to live like Queens wearing the finest clothes and eating the best food her words sank into their hearts like stones dropped in a river slowly they nodded tenny's plan was daring but the promise of a better life sparkled before them like the morning sun

the next day the first Brave Girls followed tin's advice they tied their rappers High painted their lips readed and walk boldly toward the nearby towns the men they met were captivated by their beauty and confidence they returned to the village with shiny gifts colorful wrappers beads and even money the other girls watched in awe where did you get that they asked pointing to the new clothes the girls giggled but didn't answer their silence only fueling the curi osity one by one more girls visited Tenny eager to join her Club at night when the village was

asleep they would sneak out in small groups their laughter soft as the rustle of leaves in the Wind by morning they returned their hands full of treasures and their faces glowing with pride but the changes didn't go unnoticed parents began Whispering about their daughter's boldness what is going on they asked each other where are they getting these things and yet the girls were careful they smiled sweetly fetched water when asked and hid their new possessions under their beds they lived double lives learning quickly how to keep secrets the one simple and modest Village of ITI

was beginning to Shimmer with the Allure of City Life all thanks to Tenny and her secret Club As Time passed the Village Elders noticed changes in the girls they no longer helped with chores or attended the evening Gatherings they wore makeup and walked around with an air of confidence that unsettled the villagers Whispers began to spread what is happening to our girls an elder woman asked it's that City girl Tenny she has spoiled them another replied Mama Tani tried to tried to talk to Tenny Tenny the villagers are complaining you need to stop influencing these

girls but Tenny only smiled Auntie they are just jealous I'm teaching the girls to enjoy life what is wrong with that Mama Tani side feeling helpless one day the secret life of one of the girls Enola came to light Enola had started dressing boldly and meeting men just like Tenny had taught but now her belly had begun to swell she was pregnant her mother noticed her sickness one morning and confronted her what is this mama Annie asked sharply her voice cutting through the quiet morning her eyes dted to enola's belly stand up Enola hesitated but

obeyed her hands trembling as she Rose to her feet Mama Anie stared at her her heart pounding like the drum beats during festivals she took a step closer her voice now shaking Enola tell me the truth are you are you pregnant anula's lips quivered and tears began to stream down her face mama I speak Mama Annie shouted her voice Rising like thunder enula fell to her knees sobbing I don't know who the father is she whispered Mama eenie gasped and staggered back clutching her chest as if struck by lightning for a moment there was silence

broken only by Inola soft cries then like a damn breaking Mama inie wailed a loud piercing sound that echoed through the village ah my daughter has brought shame to my house my ancestors what have I done to deserve this the neighbors he hearing the commotion hurried over what is happening they asked their faces curious Mama Anie pointed a trembling finger at Inola she is pregnant she cried and she doesn't even know who the father is the news spread through irti like wildfire soon the entire Village was buzzing with gossip women whispered behind their hands shaking

their heads men laughed mocking in Yola's disgrace this is what happens when girls abandon their values an elder woman said shaking her walking stick she is a lesson for all Shameless child a man muttered her parents must be so proud and Yola's shame became the talk of the village her friends avoided her their faces turned away whenever she walked by mothers used her as an example to warn their daughters if you follow that City girl's ways they said you will end up like anola but what the villagers didn't know was that their own daughters were

quietly walking the same dangerous path they hid their secrets well sneaking out at night and returning with gifts enola's story was a cautionary tale but it didn't stop The Whispers The sneaking or the lies andola stayed in her family's compound her head bowed in shame while Mama any wept day and night in the shadows The Village girls watched and whispered among themselves they pied Inola but fear didn't stop their desires and so the secrets of ITI continued to grow hiddden beneath painted lips and bold steps then one day disaster struck the village the Skies over

IR grew darker as if the gods themselves had turned their faces away the ones Lo Farms with their rows of yam and cassava began to wither leaves turned yellow stocks bent low and the Earth cracked under the weight of dryness the ghost that used to roam the village bleeding loudly now Stood Still their ribs poking through their skin worst of all a strange sickness crept into the village leaving many bedridden with fevers that no herbs could cure a what is happening to us mama ebun cried as she stared at her Baron Farm yesterday my yam

leaves were green today they are like ash in another corner of the village a man slapped his goat side hoping it would give milk but the animals stood there lifeless even the goats have betrayed us he muttered his voice heavy with despair as the sickness spread the people's fear grew children wailed and the elderly whispered among themselves this is not ordinary something has angered the gods the elders their faces shadowed with worry gathered under the big ioko tree they spoke in hushed tones their staffs planted firmly in the ground like old trees refusing to bow

to the storm finally the oldest Elder parari raised his hand this matter is beyond us he said his voice firm we must visit Baba ADI the Oracle the villagers murmured in agreement Baba ad was known far and wide for his wisdom and connection to the gods he lived on the edge of the forest in a hut surrounded by charms and ancient carvings the next morning the elders and some villagers made their way to Baba Adis Shrine the journey was silent safe for the occasion cough or Whisper of prayer when they arrived Baba ADI sat cross-legged

on a mat his long white beard flowing like a river his eyes sharp as an eagles seemed to pierce through their very Souls speak Baba ADI said his voice deep and commanding why have you come P stepped forward Baba our village is in trouble the crops are dying the goats give no milk and a strange sickness has taken hold of us we fear the gods are angry but we do not know why Baba ad closed his eyes and began to chant the villagers watched their hearts pounding like Festival drums after what felt like an eternity

Baba ADI opened his eyes and spoke the gods are indeed angry he said your village has abandoned the ways of Purity and tradition the young maidens have turned away from their path their actions have polluted the land the villagers gasped some look down in shame While others exchanged nervous glances what must we do Baba patari asked his voice trembling Baba ad his eyes darkened as he spoke to cleanse the village and lift the curse the gods demand a sacrifice two virgin maidens must carry an offering of white cola nuts a ram and a calabash of

palm oil across the river Omi only then will the gods forgive your people across act to a heavy silence fell over the group The River Omi was wide and deep it's current strong enough to drag a man under and now two virgins had to face it to save the village the maidens must be pure Baba ADI added if they are not they will not survive the C crossing the villagers nodded solemnly their hearts heavy they returned to ITI with Baba ad's message ready to announce the test but deep down many wondered if any of their

daughters would pass the once proud parents who had boasted of their daughter's purity now felt the weight of Shame creeping into their hearts as the news spread the village braced for the ultimate test of Truth and the Reckoning that would follow the following day the girls dressed in white rappers walked nervously to the edge of the river their bare feet touched the cool damp sand and they shivered not from the cold but from Fear each knew the truth that lay hidden in their hearts the first girl aduk stepped forward her father standing proudly in the

crowd shouted that's my daughter she is as pure as fresh Palm wine aduk hes hesitated her hands trembling before waiting into the river at first the water was calm lapping gently against her ankles but as she moved deeper the current grew stronger she struggled her legs kicking wildly until suddenly she disappeared beneath the surface the crck gasped as the river swallowed her whole two men rushed in and pulled her out coughing and sputtering but alive the villagers murmured their confidence beginning to crack the second girl aun stepped forward her face pale as the full moon

her mother clasped her hands together Whispering the gods will protect her aun entered the river her steps unsteady she swam for a while her arms slicing through the water but just as she neared the middle the current pulled her under she too was dragged out gasping for air one by one the girls tried and one by one they failed each time a girl disappeared beneath the water the murmurs in the crowd grew louder what is happening one man cried are none of them pure the parents who had once stood tall now hung their heads in

shame Whispers turned to accusations our daughters have brought disgrace to this Village One Elder shouted they have turned away from the ways of our ancestors the elders turned to Tenny who stood apart from the crowd watching silently P pointed his staff at her his voice thunderous this is your doing you came to this Village and filled our daughters heads with your city w face the crowd erupted yes she is to blame they shouted she has poisoned our girls Tenny stepped forward her face calm despite the storm of anger around her I did not force anyone

she said her voice steady they came to me because they wanted to learn if they chose to abandon your ways Perhaps it is because they wanted more than this Village could offer they wanted a taste of freedom freedom Pat bowed his staff striking the ground you call this Freedom disgrace and impurity the gods are angry and it is your doing Tenny stepped forward her voice Rising above the crowd's noise your daughters are not children they made their own choices if you think they were pure before maybe you didn't know them as well as you thought

the crowd gasped and a murmur of shock ripped through the air tenny's words struck like the crack of a whip but her boldness only fueled the villager's anger how dare you insult us one man roared you have destroyed our pride and you stand here unrepentant Tenny must leave another shouted and the crowd roared in agreement Mama Tani pushed her way to the front her face edged with sorrow Tenny please she said softly tears pulling in her eyes you've done enough harm it is better if you go Tiny Turned to her aunt her Defiance faltering for

the first time auntie I didn't mean for things to get this bad I just wanted to show them a different way Mama Tani shook her head her tears spilling over you came with good intentions but look around the village is in ruins the elders Blame You the par parents blame you staying here will only bring more trouble the words pierced tenny's Heart Like a Knife she looked around at the faces she once saw as curious and admiring now they were Twisted with hatred and disappointment she took a deep breath and nodded fine she said quietly

I will leave Mama Tani helped her pack her few belongings her hand hands trembling with sadness the small mud house once filled with laughter was now heavy with silence when it was time to go Tenny hugged her aunt tightly I'm sorry Auntie she whispered her voice breaking Mama Tani wiped her tears and nodded go my child I pray you find peace with her bag slung over her shoulder Tenny stepped out into the square the villagers watched as she walked away the angry murmurs Fading Into the distance her steps were steady but her heart was a

storm of emotions anger at their blindness regret for the chaos she had caused and sadness for the life she was leaving behind as she reached the edge of the village Tenny paused and looked back one last time the once familiar paths and faces now felt like strangers with a heavy sigh she turned and walked on disappearing into the Horizon as the villagers stood in silence their hearts torn between relief and sorrow the village of ITI still burdened by the shame and Wrath of the Gods fell silent after Tiny's departure the elders their faces lined with

worry gathered under the ancient ioko tree to plan the purification patari with his staff firmly in hand spoke first we must Cleanse This Village he declared his voice firm The Gods Must see our remorse the other Elders nodded plans were made to restore harmony with the gods and the ancestors early the next morning the villagers assembled at The Shrine of Baba ad offerings of white cola nuts palm oil and a spotless Ram were laid at the feet of the Sacred statue Baba ad LED read the prayers chanting in a deep rhythmic voice that echoed across

the silent crowd the ghost dressed in plain white rappers stood apart from the villagers their heads were bowed their faces pale with shame as the elders prayed the GS felt the weight of their actions pressing on their hearts like heavy Stones we are sorry aduke whispered to herself tears streaming down her cheeks the ceremony lasted 3 days on the first day Baba ad and the elders poured Libations at the River Bank calling on the gods to forgive the village on the second day A procession carried the offerings through the village with the girls following behind

in silence on the final day the villagers gathered to witness the sacrifices a ram a calabash of oil and a bundle of white cola nuts off off to the gods at the sacred grove the elders spoke words of repentance we have strayed from the ways of our ancestors patari said his voice trembling forgive us and cleanse our land the girls standing before the elders took turns apologizing to their parents mama baba I have brought shame to you aduki said falling to her knees I promise never to stray again one by one the girls vowed to

abandon abon the ways Tenny had taught them the villagers though hurt forgave them slowly the weight of anger and shame began to lift as the final prayer was spoken the air in ITI felt lighter as if the gods had accepted their plea in the days and weeks that followed life in ITI began to return to its old rhythm the crops grew green again the goats gave milk and the strange sickness vanished like a Morning Mist Under the Sun the villagers worked together rebuilding trust and unity among themselves the GS now humbled returned to their chores

with renewed dedication they fetched water pounded yam and joined their mothers at the market their laughter once bold and careless became soft and joyful rooted in the Peace of living right the elders having seen the near destruction of their Village took it upon themselves to guide the youth more carefully we must never let our children forget this lesson parari said during an evening Gathering freedom without values leads to ruin the parents too became more attentive mothers told their daughters the story of Tenny warning them of the dangers of chasing fleeting Pleasures fathers reminded their sons

to respect tradition and the ways of the ancestors no pants no problem the villagers began to say but lose your values and you lose yourself as the years passed tenny's story became a cautionary tale told by firesides and under the shade of the ioko tree the name Tenny was spoken with a mixture of regret and reverence a reminder of how easily one person's influence could shake the foundation of an entire Village and so I ready thrived again holding tightly to the values that had kept it strong for Generations the lesson of Tenny was not forgotten

and the village stood as a testament to the power of unity tradition and the wisdom of learning from past mistakes I hope you enjoyed the tale if so please like the video share it with your family and friends comment on it and don't forget to subscribe to the channel and turn on the notification Bell for more enchanting Tales like this one goodbye
