According to a recent report by the health sector, it’s increasing becoming harder and harder to hit circumcision targets. Opponents of Male Genital Mutilation (MGM) and other new age tree huggers argue that if God intended penises to be circumcised he would have removed the foreskin in the womb. To some rabid extremists, circumcision is equal to blasphemy as it’s correcting God’s creation.
Foreskins have always been at the centre of intrigue. The internet is awash with conspiracies involving them. Conspiracy theorists believe foreskins are being trafficked for stem cell and tissue research. Others believe they are being used for elaborate Illuminati rituals by the elites. Similar to caviar, sperm of the sturgeons, foreskins are a delicacy of some people in the world.
@Tryz who has been a staunch anti MGM activist objects the practice on cultural grounds but not on scientific or economic reasons. Circumcision might be a barbaric Bantu custom but he is willing to cash in on the black market. He has been applying Titan gel three times a day for the last 5 years. The burungo weighs a little over a quarter of a kilogram and can fetch tens of thousands of dollars in the black market. Tryz is actively looking for a buyer but has not found one.
If Okuyu should hear of Tryz’s windfall, circumcision rates in the coming years might fall to zero in the Murima. This could be similar to dragfruit and hass avocado mayhem that destroyed agricultural production. Circumcision should be taught in school and the stigma around it demystified .
Anyone with blackmarket contacts and smuggling connections like @ kah_tony should help our brother Tryz.
