We couldn't use voodoo to resist the Europeans.. We couldn't use voodoo to build pyramids, Skycrappers, Aeroplanes, modern medicine..... We couldn't use voodoo to take man to the Moon... Super Eagles couldn't use Voodoo to win anything.. We couldn't use voodoo to win a single Olympic medal at London 2012.. Which kind yeye voodoo is this, that is so ineffective? People who are believers of voodoo are lazy-minded people..... Oyinbo dey use use their brains to send robots to Mars, People that don't wanna use their brains are simply voodoo believers.... Believing in voodoo requires no effort at all, so quit the debate, yall should go laboratories and start getting creative.. 5 Likes |

OP i don't believe many things as well, especially when it comes to the supernatural but guy somethings don make me dey reconsider my stand on the issue small small. I've seen someone who was being shot at but the bullets didn't penetrate, i just don't know what to call that yet. Not to talk of the many tricks i have seen many abokis perform. Not quite long ago, my younger sister was hypnotized or whatever by fraudsters and she went to my father's office, created a scene where she was asking for a large amount of money, saying stuffs like she'll kill herself if the money was not given to her etc, now this is something she won't do on a normal day(it all started after receiving a call from an unfamiliar number), it took some thunderous slaps from my dad to bring her partly back, she only regained herself fully 3 days after the incident, you won't believe that the number that called her could not be found in her call log afterwards, now how will you explain that? 1 Like |

Oga, I cannot define "your" reality for you. Whatever you believe on, works on your physce and puts a limit to your "realities" Btw, that your Job story is bullshyte as far as I'm concerned. Sorry. solomon111: so you mean,for voodoo to work on you,one must have wronged someone? |

The poster is extremely silly. Can you see oxygen with which you are breathing? How then do you believe that it exits? The truth is there is more to life than what we see physically. Certain things cannot be explained by words of mouth. Only people who have experienced it will be convinced but convincing others might be a challenge . That's why the bile teaches us that salvation is a personal issue. Let me give you another example . If your silly self had stomach ache, how would you prove it to those around you that you are not pretending and what you are feeling is real? |

Those things exist but the Word of God is the answer. By the time you soak yourself well with it, you fear no more. You'll then become the controller of powers and superstitions. It's the Word you need. 1 Like |

@ onyi, we have African voodoo, Brazilian voodoo, Haitian voodoo. etc so its not just an African affair. Voodoo is a complex subject to discuss. As a religion based on spells and spirits etal and as with other spirit based religions, it have effects on people. Believe it or not. People are suppressed, hypotised without drugs but by subtle and firm suggestions/ instructions aided by faith (in whatever they believe). The human mind is capable of doing any and every thing. If people can believe that a man can "hear from god" in the night or can cure by flinging his handkerchief , why would it sound strange that people communicate with spirits? 1 Like |

nyameke: you are still mixing apples and oranges here son. I have seen plenty of those videos you posted. It doesn't prove anything atleast as far as real magic is concerned. It only exposes the so called " magicians" pretending to do real magic. I don't believe in most of the things the OP posted, but am having a rethink because of your enlightening points |
Re: Do You Believe In These Superstitions? by Javatar(m): 5:58pm On Aug 26, 2012 |
Freecocoa pls dont mind those that say these things are superstitious. Years ago i saw a robber shot by the police and the bullets didnt pierce his legs or his back. No matter what the atheists say, there is most definitely a supernatural. |

Because you don't believe on something does not mean it don't exist. Don't doubt what you don't know or have never heard of.Go to Republic of Benin, Togo, Ivory Coast, etc, Voodoo is real whether you believe it or not. In Benin Republic up-till today people can still turn to animals and other stuffs, Satan is real and exist in planet earth. The Bible said the he makes himself to appear like the angel of light. There is magic that is only tricks but there magics that are from the pit of hell(demonic) |

Re: Do You Believe In These Superstitions? by Lovine: 6:16pm On Aug 26, 2012 |
nyameke Why do you go to the hospital or take medicines when you are sick? Why can't your inner mind or miracle heal you or cure you? Why do demon kill people in your own village? Stop pretending you know the truth of what we are talking about. Until such things happens to you, you will then think otherwise. Every market in Africa, etc bears the name of one demon or the other. |

cuteonyii: voodoo is just a religion practice or believe. Same thing as we do in Africa. So many people believe God is Stone, river, sun, sand etc and they have so many believes about what their God can do how to save their God. some go as far as offering a sacrifice with the believe that their God will come and eat them. Some offer food to Dead ones. etc.. there all believes. DOES THAT MAKE ALL THOSE STUFF TRUE?? i answer NOPE..Magic is an illusion while Magick is an act that works in conformity with the WILL to effect physical changes. |

@ OP, pls come to my village in edo state & see things for yourself,don't depend wholly on the internet for your research(hope u have nt 4gotten GIGO).

The word "magic" is actually used six times in the Bible, three times in the Old Testament and three times in the New Testament. However, the word, "magician(s)" is used 15 times. We know that the Egyptians worshipped many gods and that magic played an important part in the rituals of their high priests. It was through the deception of magic that the Egyptians were made to believe their gods actually had power. Genesis speaks of magicians in pharaoh's service. But it is interesting to note that they were powerless to interpret pharaoh’s dream (Genesis 41:, prompting pharaoh to send for Joseph, who interpreted it correctly because he spoke the words God gave him.http://www.gotquestions.org/magic-illusion-Bible.html "Magic is the Highest, most Absolute, and most Divine Knowledge of Natural Philosophy, advanced in its works and wonderful operations by a right understanding of the inward and occult virtue of things; so that true Agents being applied to proper Patients, strange and admirable effects will thereby be produced. Whence magicians are profound and diligent searchers into Nature; they, because of their skill, know how to anticipate an effect, the which to the vulgar shall seem to be a miracle." Most known scientist have deep knowledge of the occult....do not be deceived for there is a force backing science tho in a more pure and advanced form than what we have in Africa. |
