Wa'rapa'

Otherwise known as Epilepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system characterized by loss of consciousness and violent uncontrollable contractions of muscles.
Before now, i had never known or seen anyone come under the 'attack of wa'rapa' ( some believe its an evil spirit) but all that changed yesterday.
After work, i had gotten to the bus garage and i noticed a guy standing and whispering to a lady seated inside d bus i was to board, 'Na wa wa' i muttered. the lady who was prolly in her mid 20s was on low-cut, a top and 3/4 pants (the in-thing for lagos gals), their gist continued till the bus got filled up, the guy tapped/caressed d babe on the shoulder and left. The journey was rather fast cos there was no traffic, thank God. We got to our destination and started alighting, i got down and had only taken 3 steps when i heard "Gbauu!" followed by a loud scream. Na so all man begin run (me nko???? i take off o) who wan die?? lol
I had gotten to a distance then realized some people had stopped running, 'wetin dey hapen for there?' i asked a guy i saw walking calmly behind me, chuckling, he answered 'wetin dey pursue u?' 'if na u nko', i retorted. 'hahahaha, he laughed, anyway na one wa'rapa'-chick like dat'. 'Whats wa'rapa'?? i asked, at this point i noticed a small crowd near d garage. 'Sistah, abeg i nor fit explain, go there go look am', with dat he walked away. On auto pilot, i walked back, when i got to the garage, i saw d lady in low-cut, who some mins ago was talking to her 'guy' twitching on the floor, 'bring spoon', 'bring salt and water' 'dont let her close her mouth o' filled the air, as some women ran helter skelter looking for water( i guess) 'aaww poor girl' i looked on with tears in my eyes , '' she and who follow???" a man asked as he brought out a spoon n forced it into her mouth, Nobody answered, and i wondered abt the guy talking to her at the bus stop, Was he aware of her condition? After some mins , she stopped convulsing, opened her eyes and whispered something to d man holding her, he then asked someone to call a taxi. some female traders started chasing the children who had gathered around away. The cab came and 'the good samaritan' with a another woman, helped the lady inside and cab drove away. the next thing i heard was;
'Na wa o, see as dis thing jus disgrace dis fine gal' 'She be ogbanje??'
'Na only God go save person for dis lagos o' 'NO! na warapa dey do am' 'Una sure say she nor be winch??' 'She needs serious deliverance o'
'Na una sabi, oya make una dey go, film don finish!!' this from a woman holding a broom poised like she wants to sweep us off the road.
I walked home disturbed, with many questions in my head,
Is epilepsy hereditary?? Didnt she have a premonition?? Is she cursed??
(i hope not) Does it have a cure?? How can one contract it???
*sigh* and such a fine girl too, My pipo i jus tire.
