Letter To A Certified Ata - Wewe

Dear Ata-Wewe,
Don't look too surprised at this, you know yourself. Okay, let me break it down for the "Non-Yoruba-Ata-Wewes".Ata is the generic term for chile pepper among the Yorubas in Nigeria, depending on the type or form of pepper there are other term like Ata gungun, Ata rodo, ata dindin thats all i can remember for now. Am sure you know the importance of pepper in food, now imagine the hazardous effect when it's used in excess. Ata-Wewe is a human sized pepper that is out of proportion. it's mostly in a packaged as a female -woman, lady or girl The white man would call you a "Drama Queen"

Sometimes it seems like your only goal in life is to make other people’s lives miserable.You tends to attack other people (women especially) in a more cutting, evil, manipulative, sarcastic way  that causes a lot of the damage. You are very passionate about how you feels and you communicate this exuberance in a magnified way that can be out-of-proportion to the situation at-hand.

Your other personality characteristics include extreme sensitivity, jumping to negative conclusions, thinking the worst about everything, moody, overreacting, taking things out of context, impulsive, flamboyant,  catastrophic (blowing things out of proportion, dramatizing, complaining, nagging, creating worst-case scenarios and basing your decisions off of these judgments), mind-reading (assuming you know what others are thinking without having the evidence to back it up), black-and-white thinking (thinking in all/nothing and either/or terms), and overgeneralizing (making sweeping judgments about something or someone, using such words as always, never, everybody, and nobody) sly , envious, tricky and the list goes on and on.

Immediately you walk into a room its like there is a sign that says "Caution! Certified Ata-Wewe Ahead". Any one that values his or her sanity avoids you like a plague or he or she'll never have a minute's peace. I can only hope that there is actually a cure for "Ata-Wewe Syndrome". it would really make the world a better place.

                                                                        Most sincerely,
                                                                       Concerned Citizen.
