Dabi kwraa. Akɛ nɔkwɛmɔnɔ lɛ, dɔkita lɛ ni wɔwie ehe sane lɛ kwɛɔ helatsɛmɛi yɛ gbɛ srɔto ko nɔ.

Saji pii yɛ ni maa nɔ mi akɛ, hiɛnɔkamɔ baanyɛ afee nɔ ni fe nakai po.

Hiɛnɔkamɔ Yɛ Hewalɛ

Dɔkita ko ni atsɛɔ lɛ W. Gifford-Jones ni tswaa helatsamɔ he saji ahe adafi lɛ wie akɛ: “Hiɛnɔkamɔ yeɔ ebuaa waa yɛ helatsamɔ mli.” Dɔkita nɛɛ kwɛ amaniɛbɔi srɔtoi ni kɔɔ mɛi ni miiye hela ni ehiii tsamɔ ni baagbe amɛ lɛ amli. Mɛi komɛi heɔ amɛyeɔ akɛ, ehe hiaa waa ni aye abua helatsɛmɛi nɛɛ bɔ ni afee ni amɛkaye amɛtsui tsɔ. Niiamlitaomɔ ko ni afee yɛ afi 1989 mli lɛ tsɔɔ akɛ, kɛ́ aye abua helatsɛmɛi yɛ nɛkɛ gbɛ nɔ lɛ, ehãa amɛwala sɛɛ tsɛɔ fe mɛi ni náaa yelikɛbuamɔ ni tamɔ nakai lɛ. Shi niiamlitaomɔ ko ni afee nyɛsɛɛ nɛɛ hãaa sane nɛɛ afee faŋŋ. Fɛɛ sɛɛ lɛ, niiamlitaomɔi srɔtoi ema nɔ mi akɛ, helatsɛmɛi ni ayeɔ abuaa amɛ koni amɛkaye amɛtsui tsɔ lɛ náa miishɛɛ ni amɛhe jɔɔ amɛ fe mɛi ni afeee nakai ahãaa amɛ lɛ.

Yɛ niiamlitaomɔ ko mli lɛ, akwɛ mɛi ni kɛ amɛjwɛŋmɔ maa nibii kpakpai anɔ kɛ mɛi ni yeɔ amɛtsui waa lɛ kɛyashi be ko, koni akɛkwɛ amɛteŋ mɛi ni baaná tsui hela. Abibii hii ni fa fe 1,300 saji jogbaŋŋ koni akɛkwɛ kɛji amɛsusuɔ nibii kpakpai ahe loo amɛyeɔ amɛtsui waa. Afii nyɔŋma sɛɛ lɛ, ana akɛ hii nɛɛ ateŋ mɛi ni fa fe 100 mlijai 12 ná tsui hela. Hii nɛɛ ateŋ mɛi aaafee 100 mlijai 70 yeɔ amɛtsui waa. Laura Kubzansky, ni tsɔɔ helatsamɔ nitsulɔi nii yɛ Harvard School of Public Health lɛ wie akɛ: “Nibii ni mɛi damɔɔ nɔ amɛkɛɔ akɛ ‘kɛ́ mɔ ko susuɔ nibii kpakpai ahe’ lɛ no baahã ená gbɔmɔtsoŋ hewalɛ kpakpa lɛ ateŋ pii bɛ faŋŋ, shi yɛ tsui hela gbɛfaŋ lɛ, nɔ ni ana yɛ niiamlitaomɔ nɛɛ mli lɛ fata anɔkwa saji ni tsɔɔ akɛ, kɛ́ mɔ ko susuɔ nibii kpakpai lɛ ahe lɛ, ebaawa akɛ ebaaná tsui hela lɛ ahe.”

Niiamlitaomɔi komɛi ehã ana akɛ, mɛi ni susuɔ akɛ amɛbɛ gbɔmɔtsoŋ hewalɛ kpakpa lɛ, kɛ́ afee amɛ opireshɛŋ lɛ, etsɛɔ dani amɛnáa hewalɛ, shi ebɛ lɛ nakai yɛ mɛi ni susuɔ akɛ amɛyɛ gbɔmɔtsoŋ hewalɛ kpakpa lɛ gbɛfaŋ.

Ahã saji komɛi ni tsɔɔ akɛ mɛi ni egbɔlɔ lɛ ahiɛ kã shi waa, ni amɛyɛ niiashikpamɔ lɛ, baho yɛ mɛi ni egbɔlɔ lɛ ahiɛ oyayaayai. No sɛɛ lɛ, ana akɛ amɛná hewalɛ waa, ni amɛmiiya amɛmiiba. Yɛ anɔkwale mli lɛ, amɛná hewalɛ waa oookɛɛ amɛkɛ otsii 12 sɔŋŋ egbɔle amɛkpɔiaŋ!

Mɛni hewɔ etamɔ nɔ ni mɛi ni yɔɔ hiɛnɔkamɔ, ni susuɔ nibii kpakpai ahe, ni yeee amɛtsui tsɔ lɛ yɔɔ gbɔmɔtsoŋ hewalɛ kpakpa lɛ? Jeŋ shikpalɔi kɛ dɔkitafoi nyɛɛɛ ahã sanebimɔ nɛɛ hetoo kɛ nɔmimaa, ejaakɛ ekolɛ amɛnuko bɔ ni jwɛŋmɔ lɛ kɛ gbɔmɔtso lɛ tsuɔ nii ehãa lɛ shishi jogbaŋŋ. Fɛɛ sɛɛ lɛ, amɛteŋ mɛi ni kaseɔ sane nɛɛ he nii lɛ baanyɛ adamɔ amɛniiashikpamɔ nɔ amɛwie nɔ ko yɛ he. Akɛ nɔkwɛmɔnɔ lɛ, mɔ ko ni kaseɔ jwɛŋmɔ lɛ he nii lɛ wie akɛ: “Kɛ́ mɔ ko yɛ miishɛɛ ni eyɛ hiɛnɔkamɔ lɛ, etsui nyɔɔ emli. Kɛ́ mɔ ko nu he nakai lɛ, enuuu tɔlɛ he tsɔ, ni egbɔmɔtso lɛ tsuɔ nii jogbaŋŋ. Efata nibii ni mɛi baanyɛ afee koni amɛná gbɔmɔtsoŋ hewalɛ kpakpa lɛ ahe.”

Enɛ baanyɛ afee sane hee ko kwraa kɛhã dɔkitafoi kɛ jeŋ shikpalɔi komɛi, shi ejeee nakai yɛ mɛi ni le Biblia lɛ mli jogbaŋŋ lɛ agbɛfaŋ. Aaafee afii 3,000 ni eho nɛ lɛ, Nyɔŋmɔ kɛ emumɔ lɛ tsirɛ nilelɔ Maŋtsɛ Solomon ni eŋma yɛ sane nɛɛ he akɛ: “Tsui ni yɔɔ miishɛɛ lɛ, eji tsofa kpakpa, shi tsui ni ekumɔ lɛ, egbɔjɔɔ mɔ.” (Abɛi 17:22) Shi kadimɔ bɔ ni ŋmalɛ nɛɛ wie sane nɛɛ he ehã lɛ. Ekɛɛɛ akɛ tsui ni yɔɔ miishɛɛ lɛ tsaa hela fɛɛ hela, shi moŋ ekɛɛ “eji tsofa kpakpa.”

Yɛ anɔkwale mli lɛ, eji hiɛnɔkamɔ ji tsofa kulɛ, dɔkitafonyo fɛɛ dɔkitafonyo baajie yi ehã helatsɛmɛi. Shi jeee gbɔmɔtsoŋ hewalɛ kpakpa pɛ hiɛnɔkamɔ hãa mɔ náa.

Bɔ Ni Hiɛnɔkamɔ Kɛ Tsuiyeli Saa Wɔshihilɛ He Ehãa

Niiamlitaolɔi ena akɛ, mɛi ni yeee amɛtsui tsɔ lɛ náa he sɛɛ yɛ gbɛi pii anɔ. Amɛbɔɔ mɔdɛŋ waa yɛ skul, nitsumɔ mli, kɛ shwɛmɔ akaŋshii amli.

Nakai beiaŋ nɔŋŋ lɛ, abibii yei nɛɛ diɛŋtsɛ saji koni akɛna amɛteŋ mɛi ni yɔɔ hiɛnɔkamɔ kɛ mɛi ni yeɔ amɛtsui. Nɔ ni ana ji akɛ, hiɛnɔkamɔ ji nɔ titri ni hãa amɛyeɔ kunim waa, fe foijee hesai ni amɛtsɔɔlɔi lɛ tsɔɔ akɛ amɛyɔɔ lɛ. Mɛni hewɔ hiɛnɔkamɔ yɔɔ hewalɛ waa nakai lɛ?

Mɛi ekase tsuiyeli kɛ nijiaŋwujee he nii waa, ni amɛna anɔkwa saji komɛi. Yɛ afi 1960 kɛmiimɔ 1970 mli lɛ, akase kooloi anifeemɔi ahe nii, ni ana nɔ ko ni akpaaa gbɛ; no ji akɛ, kooloi lɛ ekomɛi feɔ amɛnii oookɛɛ amɛmiikɛɛ akɛ, ‘Nibii ehiŋ, hewɔ lɛ, mɛni hewɔ esa akɛ magba mihe naa.’ Amɛna akɛ, bei komɛi lɛ gbɔmɛi hu feɔ amɛnii yɛ nakai gbɛ nɔ.

Shi yɛ nakai kuu ni ji enyɔ lɛ mli po lɛ, mɛi ni yɔɔ hiɛnɔkamɔ lɛ anijiaŋ ejeee wui.

Bɔ ni mɛi lɛ fee amɛnii amɛhã lɛ tsirɛ nuu ko ni atsɛɔ lɛ Dr. Martin Seligman, ni fata mɛi ni to niiamlitaomɔ nɛɛ he gbɛjianɔ lɛ ahe lɛ, ni ebɔi hiɛnɔkamɔ kɛ nijiaŋwujee he nikasemɔ.

Shi kome ekoŋŋ lɛ, ekolɛ mɛi komɛi baana sane nɛɛ akɛ sane hee, shi ejeee sane hee kɛhã mɛi ni kaseɔ Biblia lɛ. Kwɛmɔ nɔ ni abɛ nɛɛ kɛɛ: “Kɛ́ onijiaŋ je wui yɛ haomɔ gbi nɔ lɛ, ohewalɛ baaba shi.” (Abɛi 24:10) Hɛɛ, Biblia lɛ tsɔɔ faŋŋ akɛ, nijiaŋwujee kɛ susumɔi ni ejaaa ni ehãa mɔ náa lɛ, hãaa mɔ aná ekãa kɛfee nɔ ko. Shi mɛni obaanyɛ ofee koni onijiaŋ akaje wui, ni oná hiɛnɔkamɔ moŋ?
