YOu don crase. The egun in lagos and around the cities are just fakes. Period.

In my Village, there is this thing called "Babanigbo" (Man in the bush), now that one na proper mystery I plan on solving. He dwells in the bushes, and when he is around, no one goes into these bushes. The weird thing is that when he screams, you can feel it reverberating all around.

Assuming, it is a man behind it, I am not sure how he can make such a noise that appears to fill the entire forest. I plan on going home and finding out at some point.

The juju didn't help us win the Nations Cup the last time we hosted, though it worked for the country for the All Africa Games.  

It has 90% efficacy.  

debosky,

That's true. We hosted the Africa Nations Cup in 2000 and came 2nd. But in 1980 we hosted and won!

Can we still get hold of the babalawo we gave the juju contract in 1980?

No jokes, but I very much doubt it. The village no fit afford tarred road back then sha lol.

A lot of folks here bliv juju is fraud.Fine but i bet you if you were told in some remote part of Ijebu that 'cross this line maq i see weda you go wake up tomoro',nobody wld dare cross for fear of the unknown.My point;i don't take issues bordering on juju seriously but then again neither i nor anyone else here wld want to test the waters with both feet.

Same rzn you wldn't jump into a lion's lair lyk the proverbial Daniel based on your firm belief in God.

Do Jazz to win the World Cup?

U still need the players to do their part and unfortunately, Nigeria have more pregnant cows than football players.

Sauron,

But how can we organize a one-thousand strong juju committee to ensure that we win the 2014 world cup?

We can't be languishing in pity every four years when we have all these powerful juju men. We're seriously under-utilizing Nigeria's human resources.

It may be worth knowing that those who apparently tried before died in mysterious circumstances, I for once cannot wait. Infra red cameras and surveillance camera should reveal who is behind it all.

i remember one baba elegun when i was growing up in lagos.he used to invoke this so-called spirit claiming it deters armed robbers.unfortunately for him,he was shot by one of the robbers during one robbery incident

@RichyBlack

You and these your relentless juju threads. . .lol

I understand what you're getting at but trust me. . .most people would rather believe in unknown myths than use their brains. If a guy dies before the age of 40, that means "hand dey inside".If a guy loves a woman too much, that means "she don cook give am chop".If a guy is very successful in his job or business, that means "him dey use something". If an armed robber gets shot to death, that means "the police jazz pass him own".

It's pathetic but that's the way it is.People must always find something or someone to blame for their problems/incompetence.

@harakiri,

I believe that the widespread belief in a fraudulent practice devised by profiteers of the slave-trade to psychological weaken the populace and would-be captors, has had its run and needs to be exposed for the mere fraud that it is.

A luta continua!

I have fished from a rvier that is considered as sacred in my village.

I have kept Okete (Big white giant rats) as pets. Apparently, it can bring bad luck and untimely death etc.

I have put my feet on the stone representing God of Iron - and am still alive.

I have looked into and dance in front of the mirror when it is raining

cystein:

for juju to work, lets see juju man drive a Lexus and build a mansion. then that will be an indicator that it could win the premier league before the worldcup.

Abi ooo!

I have studied the life styles of a few of them and they are beyond wretched! There children are usually useless. . .the son's end up as thieves/arm robbers and their daughters become prostitutes or police women!

If juju works as they claim it does, why can't the powerful juju men of this country cast a spell on all the dubious politicians that loot billions on a daily basis? Why can't they cast a spell on PHCN to prevent them from cutting the power supply? Why can't they cast spells to grant us credible elections? If you ask the juju believers, their "logical" explanation is usually "dem power pass we own".

Imagine that!

[size=18pt]Why can't we use juju to win the world cup?[/size]

What type of question is this? Do you not see that our players are virtually doing bible studies in that prayer circle at half time and the start of the game. Obviously they are born again and they clearly believe in miracles. Unfortunately the oppositions defence  and midfield refused to part like the red sea.

Let me add to the list:

I have volunteered my footprints (the sand it was made on) to the old woman in a remote part of Western Nigeria who can kill anyone by having access to the sands the person's footprints were imprinted on.

May be I'm dead and my spirit is typing this.

But I thought juju will work whether one (particularly an African) believes in it or not. so, the players have to believe in it for it to work? I'm learning every day.

Well, better be a policewoman than love peddler.  But I still wonder if the owners of the oracle serving ogugu, ovgoko and amadiora will ever stop deceiving people.

All these things you just mentioned is as petty as they come.On top of that it's easy to sit behind your pc lyk so many peeps here  & act all tough (thnx to the internet) when in all honesty,you're all hollow on the inside.

I'v never had any rzn to go fetish,i don't bliv in its efficacy,nonetheless,i wont be foolhardy & say to myself 'let me give it a try'.

Richy Black claims he is a firm xtian,& his siggy says somthin abt principalities & powers.What are these powers & wat are they capable of?Talk abt tongue in cheek argument.

Wish i cld stay up & follow up the rejoinders but alas i'v got bills to pay.

So, you don't believe in its efficacy but you're comfortable defending it's efficacy?

I'm getting confused just thinking about this kind of confusion.

Nigeria can win the world cup with Otumokpu (juju). This can be achieved if they can keep some basic instructions the Dibia will give our players. Such as, they must not eat any food prepared by a woman throughout the the duration of the tournament. Second, they must not bath for 14 days prior to their first match. Third, the supporters club must bury a live cow at the middle of any stadium our boys are going to play.
If instructions as above will be kept, then the trophy will definitely be in Nigeria's kitty.

:PWe could av won yesterday`s match wit juju but d officials were at alert to have discoverd echiejile`s juju chain

But these Dibias have a way of explaining their way out when things go wrong.

1. What color must the cow be?
2. How about the sex? I assume female because you typed "cow".
3. Can it be pregnant or not?
4. Must it be a virgin cow?
5. Hornless?
6 Size of horn?
7. How deep must it be buried?
8. When must it be burid - noon, midnight, etc?
9. Should it be wrapped in any cloth before being buried?
10. What color of cloth?

The Dibia must be clear about the instruction so that we don't miss the 2014 world cup.

LOL Apparently, these things are based on faith, (Wasn't it obvious from the way our players refused to tackle? - Their pastor promised them a Divine right to possesion)

It is also the same sort of faith the pastors are using to dupe our foolish players into believing that they would get the golden boot, via dry fasting and anointing oil.

My guy, religion defies logic, perhaps we can agree on that.
