Yes.

But I believe the supernatural is controlled by supernatural beings, and not by mere mortals like you and I. The Oba of Benin is just a human being, hence a mere mortal.

Yes, just as I believe in:
1. + and -
2. North pole and south pole
3. Electrons (-) and protons (+)
etc.


I believe in the New Testament and in Christ. The Messiah was God in human form, hence making Him an immortal. Jesus Christ was not bound by the restrictions mere mortals like you and I, or the Oba of Benin are bound to. This is the reason He was able to beat death and resurrect in glory to save mankind. I am a Christian and so was Queen Victoria, Queen of England, whose naval squadrons defeated the non-Christian Oba of Benin.
You make no point here. God is the Almighty. No restrictions apply to Him. The Oba of Benin is mere human. What's your point in bringing God into this conversation? Are you somehow trying to compare the Oba of Benin to God?


It is only a foolish man that believes any juju can stop the high-velocity projectiles (aka bullets) from an AK-47 rifle.

Your knowledge of Nigeria's precolonial history is fuzzy at best. Benin was conquered in one week plus one day.

I'm a law-abiding citizen and have no business carry guns to commit any crime. Thank you.

[size=18pt]All juju claims are fraudulent![/size]

This typifies the problem with NL. You can never have a matured debate here without people becoming emotional and personal. I guess if this were to be a face to face discussion we would all be leaving NL with sour faces and jaws.

Even the holy bible acknowledges that there is a devil who even if his power is no where near that of the almightly is powerful, and has enormous influence on his followers.

Your belief in juju is immaterial. It does not erase its existence. FACT.

Like i was saying, the initial expendition of 11 Brits and their 400 itsekiri slaves were ambused and destroyed in December of 1896. The reinforced team is what you are referring to. I guess there lies your confusion.

The second team took Bini by surprise unlike the first that had announced their coming. The Oba had banned them from coming to Bini at the time as it coincided with the Igue festival during which visitors are forbidden from entering the palace. They refused to heed the advice and came armed. They never contemplated the level of resistance they saw. That included Captain Philip.

He was ambused on his way from Sapele at Oghoton by a batallion from Benin led by Asoro.

Richy, i dont know what tribe you belong to. But Benin history is clearly not one of your strong points.

.

Please LET's use this for the Politicians AS WELL !

I concor 100%.

So they've finally remembered juju after all all dis while. Do u think juju can stop the ferociousness of the robbers?Nah, When evil jam evil they shake hands and go. I'd love to c d curses having effects on the robbers when they rob those laying curses. Pragmatic steps are taken to deal with robbery and kidnap throughout the world these ppl are here laying curses on armed robbers,while the bigger criminals plundering them [politicians] are left out. Like i said earlier on i'd love to see how this system works out!

i wont be surprised to hear that these folks came out ranting and chanting because one of theirs was 'hit' by the criminals.

Richyblack- i admire ur display of knowledge on this particular issue; im feeling you dude, please ride on

Richy - God bless you - Juju doesnt work it is all an illusion or mind games?

There is power in Juju but the differences between Bible and Juju is, Bible gives you time to repent but juju is immediate which means eye for eye.

Look people God created light and darkness there's is power in JUJu even if you don't believe it.

@RichyBlacK

You have just expressed a rare psychosomatic condition which allows the sufferer to validate two directly opposing conceptually contradictory beliefs within a singular space and time.

It is like saying God and Satan in one breath!   I truly admire your keen sense of disorientation only two kinds of living things are capable of such a feat.
1: Politicians
2: Clinically Insane

Well done bros

thats why edo state is still ancient .

i hope the juju thing will work. but does that mean that the robbers will now relocate to other parts of the country. abeg no!

HABA .
SO DEM DEY FEAR SEF

Threat of Curses has never eradicated any societal vice before in the history of mankind. Only viewers of Cartoon Network will believe that it would work in Benin.

  LWKMD. I just dunno if to post a comment on this topic or just keep laughing at other peoples post.

Good job, edo people

ido gate

so when they swarmed the palace why could the police not also swarm the palace, arrest them and let them swarm some cells?

I think you are getting it all mixed up here you know.If you believe that the christian god is supreme and real while the juju is fake and unreal,then i think you are confuse too.

For you to make sense of the whole delusion,you don't have to believe either.Beliefs in illusion are just the creations and imaginations of man that helps to chart,control and manipulate human  endeavours in the absence of practical reasoning and reality.it is a way of life that is only real in the minds of the believers.

Thieving bastards self dey fear fear

It takes a fool to be a thief.

This juju process appears to be selective
sha i recall just before i finally left benin when one time Oba Market got burnt and some thieves went there and broke into stores and stole stuff
i hear they also swore for them at the palace or something and afterwards alot of thieving folks threw stuffs over the palace walls lol lol lol lol
fear catch them now

I thought this thread was long dead.

Sorry it is not dead. Will around for more than u expect.

mama-gee:

I thought this thread was long dead.

@mama gee, this topic is barely 2days old, how can it be dead.

The term Juju has its etymology in the french word 'joujou' which literally means plaything or toy. As you can see the term was a successful attempt to ridicule African belief systems. Sadly, the usual suspects are here writing nonsense.

Needless to say that True Africans reject the term juju in its entirety.

All empires are eventually defeated (if you come from a place where there has never been an empire or history I can see how you might have difficulty with this point), it's like gravitational pull.

Having said that, what does military defeat have to do with religion?

Try and google imprecatory curses in the bible and see what comes up.  Jesus used imprecatory curses. This is exactly what our Great Oba has done, unfortunately some of you are uncomfortable with anything African.

One after the other, we will expose the half truths and lies from the half educated and uneducated.

mama-gee:

I thought this thread was long dead.

the first thread was before the curse ceremony while this one is the outcome of the curse

Am not being cynical or anything but lets just wait and see how long this juju thing will last, till we hear of another robbery / kidnapping incident in Benin.

Lol @ those asking why the juju wasn't also used for the ailing sports and the fraudulent politicians. Is that the issue before us??!

blacksta:

Richy - God bless you - Juju doesnt work it is all an illusion or mind games?

I have seen juju in action, and it works.
