Ishilove: This is how they mess up their lives by missing very apparent details right in front of them and in their later years would begin looking for who to blame for their deformed, malfunctioning lives. |

butterflyl1on:You are right, though. Today's youths have such poor reading culture, but I'm sure if it was a sexapade they'd read with undivided attention. Their attention span can't go beyond a tweet 5 Likes |

Ishilove: I disagree, this is just a circlejerk, Today's youths have good reading culture, its no different from youths of yesterday; the difference is that there's much more information to read and access these days than in the past due to access to the internet which in turn makes us skim pages rather than read everything which isn't necessarily a bad thing, one just needs to polish his/her skimming skills so as not to miss too many vital information 3 Likes |

hopefulLandlord:I disagree entirely. Post something more than two paragraphs and see them asking for 'summary' 3 Likes |
Re: My Experience With A Babalawo From Nairaland by hopefulLandlord: 9:53pm On Jan 20, 2018 |
Ishilove: I'm not disputing they'll ask for summary, I'm actually explaining why they might be asking for it, There's so much information to process in so little time, we have access to more information in a single month than people of 40 years ago have access to in their lifetime meanwhile our ability to assimilate and understand what we're reading isn't any faster or better than it was 40 years ago; Wikipedia alone as at 2015 said it'll take the average reader 20 years to read everything in the English version provided no new information/articles are added, in that same year, it was revealed that it'll take 60,000 straight years to watch all YouTube videos provided no new videos are uploaded, there's so much to learn in so little time so one needs to know how to grab as much as possible in the little time one allocates to a web page 4 Likes |

hopefulLandlord:You're not getting my point. Instead of the internet to improve our reading culture, it has decreased it because people are too lazy to read, ask for summary because of that same laziness. Ask the average youth when last they read a full article of at least 10,000 words? 4 Likes 1 Share |
Re: My Experience With A Babalawo From Nairaland by hopefulLandlord: 10:38pm On Jan 20, 2018 |
Ishilove: you see it as laziness, I see it more as having much more ground to try and cover in same time as people of yesteryears who had far less ground to cover I remember the early nineties when we had access to fewer movies and we'd rewatch a movie many times over which made us understand the movies even better, I can still recollect to a very good level of accuracy the plots of movies of late eighties and early nineties, now I find it near impossible watching a movie twice which has hampered my understanding of them, there's many unwatched movies and TV series in my external hard drive and before I would finish watching them I must've collected newer ones that are more in numbers than the unwatched ones, this made it hard to even recollect the plots of movies I watched in 2015 in the same vein, as I'm typing this post, new topic has hit front-page, some new topics and new posts are added to the religion section and that's just 2 out of the many sections we have on Nairaland, and that's only Nairaland, we still haven't talked about Facebook, reddit quora and many other websites that are much more bigger than Nairaland, each with new information to digest I admit with no shame that I'm one of "today's youth" that skim through articles and its definitely not because I'm lazy Ask the average youth when last they read a full article of at least 10,000 words?if you really give the average youth of today an article of even 100,000 words and show them how its in their best interest to read every word and not skim through, they'll read and understand it faster than the best readers of yesteryear's youths 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Nostradamus: We can't know if they're wrong or right, I'll talk from the perspective of someone who believes in the supernatural (which I'm not) 1. If OP reports that the charm worked, it'll sway most readers towards the OP being babalawos in disguise but that doesn't necessarily make such a position true 2. If OP reports that all he did was eventually a waste of time, money and efforts, it'll definitely prove that OP is not babalawos in disguise Number one is problematic and doesn't really lead to a true conclusion 3 Likes |

Its been two weeks since my ritual experience at the Orisha shrine. I've been performing some of the prescribed rituals at night using some of the charms given. I have a startling observation. Whenever I sleep with one of the charms beneath my pillow at night as advised, I usually have this strange 'current' flowing from my head down to the base of my spine. It flows from whichever side of my head is in contact with the coin. Three nights ago it was quite intense that my right hand stiffened for a while. I don't fell this strange sensation whilst asleep though. Last week was one of the best weeks I've ever had in a long time. Hearing good news from immediate and extended family members. Slept well with no night terrors. I feel lighthearted and unusually calm these days. In fact I was contacted by a couple of people who seem to have forgotten me in years. People and strangers seem nicer and more cordial to me. I was taken aback by a stern kiosk mallam who was unusually friendly, saying he had been afraid he had lost such a good customer like me, to another kiosk mallam adjacent to my flat. But I never purchase much from this man nah! I walked on a street few evenings ago and a woman dressed in Lord Chosen garb who walked past me said 'You're blessed'. I didn't know her and neither did she. Hmm. I was unexpectedly invited by a renowned radio host to be telephone interviewed as a guest on an international radio show live this weekend! Topic being my views on contemporary religion from my African perspective. Of course why I no go accept the invite? Never been a guest on a show, talk less of an international one. Practising my phonetic skills make I no tagbon. But dem oyibo go hear my naija accent small. I mentioned these unexpected pleasant string of events to Baba. He explained that my spiritual routine in Benin ensured that my dark auras was cleaned out, people unknown and known to me unconsciously feel it hence the present happenings and proscribed that I maintain a pleasant countenance in public. He also recommended that I or change wardrobe or launder my clothes if I can afford to, to dispel negative energies which may have been embedded in them. He also asked if S has blocked me on Whatsapp, I did check. S did not, which was a positive sign. I observed S had changed photographs with ever-go-lucky, nothing dey happun poses on Whatsapp profile photo, but the keen observer would notice that S had shed a few pounds in so short a time. Increased workout routine?Too much fun? Work stress? Or internalizing pain? |
