A
couple of months ago in the northern part of Tanzania, emerged a
small village of Samunge which had hitherto been taking refuge in
oblivion, it became the cynosure of not only Tanzanians’ attention but
also the whole world, a cupful of ‘Mugariga’ concoction dispensed by a
former Lutheran pastor is said albeit outside the scientific faculties
to be potent to cure diseases which have eluded modern technology in
the medical field, to the chagrin of those who had been exploiting
patients’ desperate situation by exhorting large sums of money, the
humble yet controversial man of God Ambilikile Mwasapile only charges a
modest five hundred shillings(US $ 0.33333333)to relieve people from
even the notorious HIV/Aids.The frenzy that ensued upon getting the winds of this information is a clear revelation of how a large number of people walk under a heavy yoke of malignant diseases. My dear reader, in this hallowed space, I want to introduce you to a scientifically proved version of ‘Mugariga’ that will work wonders in your life and unlike the mysterious one dispensed in Samunge, the efficacy of this one is devoid of superstitious strings and above all, it is cheaper than the former as it goes for only two hundred shillings ‘a cup’ and you do not have to travel to Arusha, Mbeya, Tabora to have a dose ,yo
