CHAKAM: A Reimagination of WHOT
Card 6 - CHAKAM ♛
Ko mai arziki yana neman arziki 🫴🏾 - “Even the wealthy seek more wealth”

You know the bowl. You’ve seen it at the traffic light. The street corner. The mosque on Jummat. But look closer, it didn’t stay out there.

It’s in the group chat. It’s omo show me love na. It’s the uncle with a job still looking for his helper. It’s the country sitting on oil, iron, gold, lithium still going bowl in hand to the IMF. Still negotiating from its knees.

But here’s what nobody says out loud, it stopped being need a long time ago. It became entitlement. The belief that someone somewhere owes you. The West owes you. Your rich friend owes you. The world owes you. The beggi beggi culture runs top to bottom, from the streets to the senate and somewhere along the way, begging became a right, not a last resort.

We have so much, yet we can’t see that

Card 20 in Whot is called CHAKAM aka I need card. The most powerful move in the deck. He holds it. He is still asking. The money covering his eyes. He cannot see what he is holding.

You are the one being asked.
What are you holding that you can’t see? 🎴
