So not believing in magic is now a white thing?


You are as silly as they come. Keep living in fear of things that do not exist. There are many people who live near graveyards- about 3 blocks away. Nothing, no scary tales.

It's a very efficient format to make money.
The scammers watch and see a potential victim in a crowded market place. They try and make body contact with him. Then one rushes aggressively at him,screaming about his missing manhood. Now the sympathizing crowd surrounds the victim(supposed ritualist) screaming and he could unfortunately be robbed an lynched.
Plan B is they work with the police at the nearest station,the man is arrested and the police "do their thing" and give the boys their share...

@bolded, I have a chilhood friend whose family house shares a wooden rickety fence with a public graveyard. From when we were kids we usually played on the graveyards, both during the day and night. We never for one day had any reason to fear. I think its partly because his mum didn't bother telling us any scary stories. All this shitty stories here are mostly hearsay and inculcated fear from childhood.
Humans are generally superstitious and will believe whatever tickles their fancy.

Yes.

To give you a sense of scale, anyone, not just nigerians and especially after reading through a thread like this one, still believing in pipi lifting should be on animal planet.

But I would add particularly nigerians or anyone from cultures where these eediocy persists. Why? Here's a quote from a silly oyinbo

einstein:
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Your juju has failed you, repeatedly, through history yet here you are again. But please do feel free to equate having a brain to wanting to be oyinbo

On another note, you're probably judeo-xtian sef, accepting oyinbo man's unverified claims (which they themselves don't cherish anywhere near as much as we do these days). I thought judeo-xtian beliefs were incompatible with juju, or do you believe in pagan gods as well? If you don't, then what are the gods of your forefathers? Mere spirits? Demons? No, evil spirits then? Well, at least I hope you can afford them the courtesy of perhaps being fallen angels or some other highly ranked jazz, no? Ah, I see. They have the distinction of being the much more respectable and distinguished pipi-thieves. What are they going to do with all those pipis sef, perhaps you can tell me?

You pipi all over the memory of your forefathers, their very beliefs, because of unverified claims in some oyinbo story books, then you look others in the eye and claim they want to be oyinbo?

God has blessed us well well

To be honest I don't even know what ur on about and can't bother myself trying to make sense out of all d jargon u typed.Every culture has their beliefs and superstitions,I get pissed off when some nigerians in their bid to appear 'enlightened' or 'westernised' label theirs as archaic,barbaric or backward while swallowing everything foreign hook,line and sinker.Its jst self demeaning and stinks of inferiority.Believe in bigfoot or whatever the hell u want,jst don't label others as being stupid for having their own beliefs,you guys remind me of the Samuel L Jackson character in d Django movie

Looks like nairaland for you is a place where u come to seek relevance in your pathetic life,you had to cook up stories about smtn I said to make a simple pts,I haven't even mentioned the word xtianity,spirits,demons,or forefathers but seems ur bent on using imaginary instances of things I said,knock yourself out.I've given u more attention than u deserve already,so u can take ur time to come up wit anoda story...I won't bite
Note: I didn't resort to insults or name calling to make a simple pt,I think its backward,lame,and a way 4 mediocre ppl to sound sensible.Thank you

I don't think I could have been clearer. Then again, you seem to be a little stoopid. Equating simple common sense to oyinbo, or being 'enlightened', 'westernized', etc. I suppose black man is not allowed or able to think critically, abi? We're incapable of using common sense?

You claim people accept whatever the white man tells them, after I just took some time out to explain that you accept your white slave master's gods as superior on faith (not even evidence) while claiming your forefathers gods/spirits/whatever are out there stealing pipis.

You may wonder why I'm a little hard on eediots like you, it's because despite of the very real harm inflicted on people because of your incredible foo.lishness, you persist. There's not much of a difference between your mentality and that of people who chase children out of their houses because they are 'witches'. Only difference here being the victims are usually adults. You deserve more than just some random guy mocking you online, but that's just my opinion

Btw, do you mean the head-house slave, this guy?

musKeeto: Heard about this a lot in Nigeria. I remain a skeptic until mine gets missing.. grin
Can't believe the Europeans used to believe this some time back too..

Link: Here

Elaborate greetings are the norm, I’ve found, when one enters a Central African village. So it was a surprise when I noticed that many people weren’t shaking hands the morning I arrived in Tiringoulou, a town of about 2,000 people in one of the remotest corners of the Central African Republic, in March 2010. I soon found out the reason: the day before, a traveler passing through town on a Sudanese merchant truck had, with a simple handshake, removed two men’s joysticks.

As best I could reconstruct from witness accounts, the stranger had stopped to purchase a cup of tea at the market. After handing over his money, he clasped the vendor’s hand. The tea seller felt an electric tingling course through his body and immediately sensed that his penis had shrunk to a size smaller than that of a baby’s. His yells quickly drew a crowd. Somehow in the fray a second man fell victim as well.

Hearing all this, I was less shocked than intrigued. As an anthropologist who studies the region, I was familiar with the problem of penis snatching. What surprised me was that the phenomenon—or, depending on your perspective, the rumor—had made it as far as Tiringoulou.

Reports of genital theft have spread like an epidemic across West and Central Africa over the past two decades, in tandem with what appears to be a general resurgence of witchcraft on the continent. Anthropologists have explained this rise as a response to an increasingly mystifying and capricious global economy.Which is to say that when the workings of capital are as genuinely obscure as they are in today’s Africa, proceeding behind a veil of complexity and corruption, rumors of “occult economies”—often involving a trade in human organs—offer a less mystifying explanation for the radical disparities in wealth on display.

That said, genital theft is neither new nor confined to Africa. Similar panics afflicted Central Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries. (Malleus Maleficarum, a book-length jeremiad against the dangers of witchcraft from 1486, includes a discussion of sorceresses who “take away male members” and keep them in birds’ nests.) And in 1967, an outbreak of koro—the belief that the penis is retracting into the body—overwhelmed hospitals in Singapore.

In Africa today, scholars who study penis snatching understand it mainly as an urban phenomenon—an extreme expression of the anxieties that pervade a city when villagers become urbanites en masse, living among throngs of unfamiliar people. That’s because most cases have been reported in crowded spots like Lagos, in Nigeria, and Douala, in Cameroon. But here I was in Tiringoulou—a dusty, peanut-growing hamlet so small and poor it barely has a market. If penis snatching had previously been a city dweller’s fear, now it seemed that not even the remotest places would be spared.
But spared from what, exactly?...

Continued in link..

So has anyone experienced this or ever met a victim? What happens to his 'location' when his joystick gets missing? Is there a hole there? blood? miracle skin?
But do you know that you can still increase the size of your joystick? Here is how to do it http://massiveprofitvault.com/joystick.zip

It is usually induced by a complex combination of anxiousness, panic, stress and superstitious magical belief
