I got into a big trouble in the course of my side business, I had just been duped of a clients money plus a lot of other complications that followed. Was reported to the police, got arrested and couldn't get anyone to bail me so I went from court to prison (Awaiting trial) and I spent 8months.

(Let me also add that a few weeks after I left prison, I meet back to visit, I asked for the mad girl and feedback I got was that she was no longer eating poo, she had improved greatly and no longer exhibits odd behaviours. And a month ago, she was released from prison.)

I got into a big trouble in the course of my side business, I had just been duped of a clients money plus a lot of other complications that followed. Was reported to the police, got arrested and couldn't get anyone to bail me so I went from court to prison (Awaiting trial) and I spent 8months.
While I was in prison, I met a couple of Mad people, one of them exhibited the kind of traits my brother exhibited.
At this time, I was so worried about him and how he will survive and all. I would pray, think about him and my heart will skip.
One day, the Holy spirit said to me, help these mad people here and ur brother at home will find help.
There was this particular girl that I became close to.
She was mentally ill, exhibited all sort of odd behaviours and worse off, eats poo. I took particular interest in her cus she reminded me of my brother at home. I would supervise the cloths she would wear, she will tell me sometimes that she was seeing people and they were talking to her and telling her to do odd things like hit her head on the wall over and over.
One day, I held her hand, prayed for her, got her born again( She was a Muslim), got her to start going to church and also to read Psalm 91 every night before she sleeps.

A few weeks after that experience with this girl, my case was called off and I was released from prison.
I was so scared to go home because feed backs I got said my brother was angry and would most times chase away people I sent to check on him. Now , for over 5months, my brother slipped into a state where his speech was affected and he stopped talking.
He never said a word for over 5months(that's before prison).
But when I got home, I met my brother in a different state.
He greeted me, welcomed me and was cleaning the house when I got home that morning.
He spoke to me and I almost fainted.
At this point, he had been informed about my predicament and so he was talking to me like how did it go and all.
I was literally shaking.

Then my friends began to tell me how the Pastor of the Estate branch of my church took him for a deliverance programme in my church and one of the ministering Pastors discerned his case, called him out and prayed for him. My brother got baptised in that program and that was how it all ended. My brother became completely whole I was told he even testified.
Now he says he wants to go back to school, he needs new cloths and shoes.
Like he communicates well.

The same way I came here to post about it, seeking help, I have come here to encourage someone that there is nothing God cannot do.
I remember some people said I should leave him to roam, others said I should leave him and run away and continue my life.
One of the things I told my self was, I will never leave him and run away, I know the sacrifices my brother made for me. I love him so much.
There are times I felt like drinking sniper cus it felt like all was too much, I would just think about my brother and that was about the only thing that stopped me from ending my life.


I'm so grateful to God.
When I became weak, couldn't find words to pray again, God was my strength.
He gave me wonderful people, both in and out of prison that encouraged me.
I've been trying to get back on my feet again.
I lost a lot during my time in prison, Our rent is over 4 Months due, I am like down to nothing, I don't know what 25th December will look like for us but in all, I am so thankful. My greatest joy is that is that Emmanuel made it through and is well.
Only Jesus could have done this.
I'd post a few pictures for proof.
I currently don't have Recent pictures of Emmanuel but the one I posted with two of us in it is what he looks like now. The picture is from before the illness took a toll and left him like ribs and bones.

(Let me also add that a few weeks after I left prison, I meet back to visit, I asked for the mad girl and feedback I got was that she was no longer eating poo, she had improved greatly and no longer exhibits odd behaviours. And a month ago, she was released from prison.)

Very wrong, u don't just accuse people like that.
It's obvious Emma is suffering from drug abuse, I once had an uncle like that, though he's late now.

keepingmum:
i remember reading your initial post seeking help for your brother and i felt really sad of the state of the health system....then you went quiet and resurfaced and explained your absence over been duped and incarcerated and my heart just sank for you.
I felt the helplessness in you especially when you were looking to even sell your phone though you needed it, i am grateful to God for life and for your family.
the good works he has begun will only get better and permanent in jesus name

OP I have no doubt that your brother is feeling better. What I fear though is that u aren't telling us the whole truth. There is a tendency for people to oversimplify or embellish stories. I somehow doubt ur brother got well immediately. The healing could have been gradual but u won't tell us that anyway because it doesn't make for a very interesting story.

Whatever you are doing that is making your brother alright, keep doing it. If it is drugs u or whatever, keep giving him that drug. And if u haven't been giving him drugs, start giving him those drugs or keep the drugs close always. People with a history of mental illness are not called that because they are constantly ill. They are called that because the illness reoccur over time and they usually have long periods of time intermittently when they appear normal. I have an experience with one of such people when I was in school so I know what I am talking about.

So take my advice. If u don't gain anything by sharing this story, at least u will have gained something from what I shared. Keep drugs close by. Always remember that. There might be grave consequences if u fail to do so. Unfortunately, if u face those consequences, u won't come here to share the story gleefully like u are now. And no other person will know. I pray it doesn't come to that.

I too know of family members and friends that became victims of recreational drugs

We all have different tolerance levels and threshold limits, once you step over it on those poo, it is welcome to wacko world.

I once, in my late teens/early twenties, cant correctly place when
out of curiosty and wanting to find out what the buzz and fuss is about marijuana,
so I tried gbanna but it didnt shack me.
I remember after the draws, saying is that it because nothing spectacular happened
The earth didnt move under my feet, I didnt float, the world didnt stop.

Now what waned my interest in it
and stopped me from again dabbling in it and other recreational poo , first was the self respect I have for myself
and second, that I love to keep, have and maintain my sanity naturally

Drugs are a waste of time, it take you to hell, disguised as heaven.

A pastor discerned his case and he was healed in that program. I know a lot about drugs and your comments leave me wondering how drugs come in here?
What drugs could possibly have put him in a condition where he now wants to return to school?

Tell me their names.

NPComplete:


Lol. U no sabi as e dey go. I had a close friend once that had an issue like this. If u see him on the road u will not believe he is capable of violent insanity. Unfortunately I can't tell u the name of his drugs. This happened over 10 years ago. What I know is that as soon as he started taking them, he was calm and after a while he regained normalcy. He missed 1 semester because of his illness and as soon as he came back, he wanted to return to school and do much better with his life. Wish I can say he was able to continue.

Ranchhoddas:
Not the same thing. This guy was not on drugs before the event. The only person who could administer his drugs was in jail. What do you make of that?

NPComplete:


How do u know this? I told u not to take stories at their face value. So the brother has been living all alone all this while while she was in jail, right? Who was feeding him?
Guy why u dey fall hand like this?

Ranchhoddas:
What are you saying? What drugs can cause catatonic seizures for a long time and psychiatrists at Yaba will not detect in your system? List them if know any.
Perhaps you are not familiar with the term catatonic"?

MuttleyLaff:
Are you saying marijuana is not a recreational drug?

These my family member and other friend had this bout from abuse of it.
Both thanks to medications are OK enough to live almost good normal lives but not without little obvious and subtle drawbacks.

I am familiar with the term catatonic.
What I know about it is what let's me keep away from recreational drugs.

Even as much as I used to take pleasure in smoking cigarettes and/or cigars before, the moment I realised that, I am within my limits, responsible for my health and wellbeing I jacked in the vice and habit

Ranchhoddas:
Na you dey fall hand because you wan dismiss without examination. Feeding can easily be done by anyone. It's not like they have to put food in his mouth.

Drugs for mental disorders like these such as benzodiazepines are prescription-only medication that have dosage regimens that must be followed to a T.

Who would have done that for the duration of her stay in prison?

I see how you have also ignored the fact that a pastor discerned his case in the said service.

Marijuana is a drug that stimulates rather than depresses. Catatonia is a depressive
Your friend got in a catatonic state from using marijuana?

Guy no dey fall my hand na. Insanity is not always permanent. During the duration of his psychotic episodes someone must have been there especially to keep him from harming himself. And if the insanity is partly as a result of substance abuse, as I suspect it is because she said her brother smokes and drinks, then it is likely to subside when the substance is no longer available freely. And whoever he was staying with while she was in jail had a lot of incentive to ensure a strict medication so as not to risk himself or his family. Maybe the guy was even chained somewhere.

The pastor is the most laughable explanation I have seen. She was not even there. The pastor is not any different from the pastors that cut homeless and occasionally insane people's hair while they are lucid and claim it is by their power. All the pastor need do is find the guy when he is in his more lucid state and convalescent and start exploiting him.
Unfortunately the OP was not there. The story was told to her probably by the pastor and his followers. The OP doesn't seem like a person who is very good at taking a rational look at things. She is a woman after all. So she believes everything. Sadly, insanity like this is very likely to reoccur. For her safety I hope she is prepared and at least trying to avoid it.
