Potent and efficacious are the words to describe the prowess of the Edos when it come to rain making and control. A vast majority of the witch-doctors seem to have got this priced magical powers in their tradomedical arsenals.They can pause, play, fast-forward and even wind-drive the rain to another locality if they can't keep the clouds off the sky. This is no joke. They are good at it.

In the Esans, I once attended a wedding where the dark, heavily-clouded and unfriendly looking sky was threatening to ruin the whole thing. There was apprehension and tension in the air. It wasn't really a cool sight to behold, my new brocade was at stake and the road was a nightmare. O boy, it took just an old man to go behind a pot and have the flames never go off whilst some leaves keep getting pushed in to keep it in check.I was amazed.

Now the question is: why do fridays always have to be all rain and market days floody? Nah to come begin bribe una again?

i was told my grandfather used to control rain during burial,marriage or any other ceremony.... i didn't witnessesed it sha

Ma forefathers did it,and I'm still doing it.

You just said it.

I deliberately left out an experience where a nigga caused it to rain in only another's house during their burial ceremony....the neigbouring houses experienced no drizzle at all.

What pains me is why it is being used for evil.

How can it be dry for many days only to rain when it's their local market day or on fridays and saturdays when ceremonies are in full gear?!
