Market women in the Congo Water Community, in the Eastend of Freetown, are seriously contemplating the intervention of evangelical priests to help them turn around the prospects of the Community market.
At least one old woman, Margaret Yegbeh Koroma (63yrs), has vowed to invite a Pastor to pray for their community market because they have been getting a continuous low turnout of customers in their market for some time now.
Some stakeholders say, this problem could be the result of the two main markets in Wellington and Portee communities, which has caused the Congo Water market to dry out.
Other customers have explained that most times, the prices of goods and services in the Congo Water Market have been high, and this has led them to go to other markets to buy their needed foodstuff.
The old woman, Yegbeh Koroma, disclosed that while cultivating her garden vegetables, she got the sudden feeling that the Congo Water market needed religious (Biblical) deliverance.
Over the years she said she had noted that there is some evil presence in the market which does not allow them as traders to have more customers for sale.
She furthered that even one of the Prophets in the east of Freetown, (name withheld), had been informed about the proposal to do a special ceremony of prayer for their market.
The market was founded in the seventies (1970’s), and that period was exceptional compared to now. ”These days at the market, you will sit down for the rest of the day without many sales” Madam Koroma lamented.
