In the bible,Christ walked on water and beckoned peter to come.peter followed suit and was walking on water by faith till he looked around and was overcome with fear.he started to sink..christ said to him"o ye of little faith!"..Christ also said"anything is possible for they that BELIEVE"..the mysteries of the universe transcends physical forms whether you believe it or not..voodoo or magic,palm readers, exists thus the bible says that the devil is a perverter of the true ways of God..you are what you believe but that doesn't invalidate the existence of what you don't believe in.. |

odumchi: All of those things you listed are very possible. So where did our ancestors keep these things when the colonialist and slave traders plundered our land? Where were our oracles when the white man defied them and took their people and worshipers to be slaves in strange lands? 1 Like |

The gullibility level of Nigerians is simply amazing. This is why many who claim to have "seen" voodoo at work, somehow, strangely, are NEVER able to produce any evidence, let alone replicate these things they claim exist. Many of the things people regard as "proof" of voodoo are simply carefully crafted tricks - sometimes meant to entertain us, other times - like in the case of Nigeria (and indeed Africa at large), to awe (or deceive) us, effectively keeping us backward at the same time. Any wonder why the more backward a society is, the higher tendency they have to believe in voodoo and all sorts? I have a friend whom everyone used to believe had supernatural powers. Legend had it then that he was stabbed with a knife, but the knife did not penetrate his body. He told me the story himself and others corroborated it. What they did not realise however was that while telling me his own side of the story in private, he also revealed to me how him and the person fighting had managed to trick tens of people watching them to make them believe he had "jazz". Everybody has their moment of weakness (or credulity if you wish), and in a peculiar society like Nigeria, I can understand why an overwhelming majority would believe in things like voodoo (or jazz, charms, etc) even when there is not a single evidence anywhere that proves its efficacy. The OP asked people to bring their proof, and some people are posting YouTube videos. Seriously?? 1 Like |

i don't have to argue with any comments made earlier in this thread. But to be candid, if you have not been jinxed before you will say incantation does not work. My advice to all the LAGOS BORN AND BREED talking about the impossibilities of some odd things happening in the real world, be careful and make sure you do not stir the house of hornets else they can sting to death. a word is enough for the wise.

dabriggs: Maybe you should research the slave trade in detail because I don't remember there being a time when Europeans invaded Nigeria and forcefully captured people for export. Cosmology is inexplicable and is beyond human comprehension. Tell me, how do you explain money-making rituals? Or are they fake? How do you explain people dying after taking oaths, or is that fake also? |

cuteonyii: Hey guys, i'm not trying to offend any body here. But sometimes my friends finds it annoying when I tell them that I do not believe in the following.@OP, with the look of things i dont need to argue with you as u already drawn a pre-determined inference. so why play on other people's intelligence? i belive you only want to showcase u research. but it's unfortunate your defence lines were very faulty especially when you start quoting BIble. as it is evident with due respect u foolishly pick the verses and bible chapters that suit your research. whatever am responding here is definitely for the christians here. not for you that is nither here or there! For the record, you cannot proclaim your self a christian and walk the word of God and deny spirituality cos the word of God never shy a way from it. it is evident that there are lots of things that is out of our grasp, due to limits of humanity. they bible made me believe that their are out there a lot goin unseen that than the seen. see, out of the prophet of the old and new testament, the experience of Daniel was the most facinitating and the words of Paul is awesome among other senerios in the bible! daniel provides a remarkable insight into the reality and might of the principalities and powers under the rule of Satan, “the prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2). Although Satan is not omnipresent, he has a highly organized host of evil angels at his command. if you check out daniel 10:13"But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia." Undoubtedly, one who takes into view all the circumstances referred to in this passage would most naturally understand this of an angelic being, having some kind of jurisdiction over the kingdom of Persia then. What was the character of this "prince," however, whether he was a good or bad angel, is not intimated by the language. It is only implied that he had a chieftainship, or some species of guardian care over that kingdom - watching over its interests and directing its affairs. As he offered resistance, however, to this heavenly messenger on his way to Daniel, as it was necessary to counteract his plans, and as the aid of Michael was required to overcome his opposition, the fair construction is, that he belonged to the class of evil angels. in paul's case he so confirm the meta-physical in the book of ephesian 6:12"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms" see,apostle Paul says that our struggle is not against flesh and blood. Our true battle is not against our political opponents or family or co-workers or neighbors or any other human agent. The battle is not against people, but against unseen spiritual powers. In fact, the entire human race is under a vicious assault by certain principalities and powers, world rulers of darkness, wicked spirits in high places. ofcourse we av alot of scams that unbalance both good and evil but that does not makes the power that be unreal. my people, wisdom is the principal thing and He that has wisdom let him get understanding. peace! |
