This Nigga is a clown. Sitting in his comfy apartment disputing things that he has no balls to go find out himself. undecided

You better don't ban me angry
Why should I leave my apartment to look for something that I'm pretty sure doesn't exist? If someone on the internet told you that the Justice League is real and that their headquarters is in the Sambisa forest, would you actually travel to the forest to look for the Justice League? No.

If more than one person has given an account of so, from different people who are of different backgrounds, of course I will go.find out if I genuinely want to see the Justice League. It will be silly of me to dismiss them even as people keep giving account of it.

No, but anyone who wants to convince me can go there & ask the witches to fly to Sango Ota on a Monday morning and do some aerial stunts.

Provide evidence of witchcraft super powers or shut the fvck up.

I get very surprised when I see people who doubt the existence of the supernatural, it's crazy with all the information and experiences out there, but then again, the likes of you will always argue with anyone who tries to explain these things to you and yet would not want to go out and investigate for yourself, you go to work, or school, come back, hang out with friends, party and don't read wide enough and think the world is comprised of just what you see, then sit in front of your computer in the comfort of ur home and type whatever you wish.. ...a guy earlier gave a location, why not go out of your comfort zone and visit the place, investigate for yourself,as it is your skepticism will not allow you believe anything anybody tells you. I dey laugh some of una ignorance.

HardMirror:

i am 100% sure you know whatever you have to say here wont fly so you are asking us to go to a junction. just like that? we shld waste time and resources to go to an ambiguous junction?
start by telling us what you experienced there that is an iron clad proof of the existence of witchcraft.

if not for rule number 2 on nairaland i would have called you by your proper name.

I am sure you have heard a lot of people give their experiences but most of you sum it up to malaria, delusion or the mind playing tricks on you, supernatural things are not physical and can't be seen or proven physically which your normal response to will be "how convenient"....now you have been given an opportunity to experience things for yourself and you have still found a way to counter that.. ..what do you people even want, believe una no gree believe which is understandable, oya go and experience urself,you no want.

There is NO IRON CASTE EVIDENCE but they (Supporters of the Witches and Wizard theory) will want you to believe and if you don't, they will resort to subtle threats.



Seun:
A witch or wizard is a person who has been granted supernatural powers by 'the devil' and uses them to perpetrate evil against other people.

I don't believe that 'the devil' exists. I don't believe that supernatural powers exist. Consequently, I don't believe witches could possibly exist.

When I read about women and children being beaten and killed for "witchcraft", I feel terrible because I know they're almost certainly innocent.

Do you disagree with me? If so, please share with me the evidence you've come across that has convinced you that witchcraft is real. Thanks.

I have seen a Shango priest chewing brand new blade and dancing in a fire.

I have also seen Hausa traditionalists using very sharp knife to cut things and attempt to use it to cut their skin proved impossible.





Seun:

Substitute the blade for something chewable using sleight of hand? Hide the blade carefully in your cheek and pretend that you're chewing it?

The fear of witchcraft is directly linked to the general education of the populous. The more educated the population of an area is the less witches they perceive and vice versa.
Africans think they are the ones that started witch hunting. But the truth is compared to the Europeans we were all learners, yes the white people once believed strongly in witchcraft. The Malleus Maleficarum translated as The hammer of witches is arguably the most damning text in all of literature. Written in 1486 by Catholic Inquisitors, it prescribed how to kill, torture and identify witches. And for almost 200 years it was the best selling book second only to the Bible. The book with sponsorship from the Pope killed tens of thousands of women accused of witchcraft.
But today people in Europe are smarter and no one talks of witches again. Why?
Education my friends is a mind opener.

That is so true and I don’t think it could have been explained better. All these supernatural figures we talk about have their origins in Europe whether that Withcraft,Vampires, Shapeshifters, fairies, werewolves and so on. That’s kind of what Halloween symbolises but in the West Superstition is almost entirely symbolic and fictitious. Look at popular western media such as Harry Potter, Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf, The Originals, Charmed, Buffy The Vampire Slayer and so on. An average westerner even the less prudent of them wouldn’t actually believe that what is in say Harry Potter is real but an African actually would.
Very few of them actually believe it exists.

The West nowadays is highly secularised. When they realised that religion and superstition is not the way forward but rather science and technology. Their societies advanced dramatically and Europeans ended up conquering the world. Put this into perspective that there is not a single country on this planet that wasn’t influenced or outright conquered by Europeans.

Europeans and Africans were highly superstitious and religious. The difference is that Europe and The West moved on from that about half a milennia ago. Africa still has retains that mentality.
