People still think this is real? In this age?

the truth is that, this things exist, but only to those who believe they do. if you dont blive in them u will never see them
when u blive, u see them.
when u see them, u fear them.
when u fear them, u give them live.
and when u give them live, they exist.

light and darkness has nothing in common.

We are not who you think we are. we also gives joy

I see a lot of misguided advice upstairs.

What was known as "ogbanje" and "abiku" in the days of our forefathers are actually sickle cell children.

Because they had no means of knowing their genotype, they kept on marrying spouses with the sickle cell gene and having children with this genotype who often fell ill and died before the age of maturity.

Contrary to popular belief, the Dibia or Babalawo had no part to play in their health. Today we hardly hear of abiku and ogbanje because of access to medical information that was not possible in the past.
