| How Do People Actually 'Hold' The Rain? by Richbee(m): 6:31pm On Aug 13, 2013 |
Recently, I've heard people use the word 'the rain is been held'. I actually do wonder, just how possible is it? I tot we were done believing 'superstitious' things but this suprisingly is still believed. So to y'all that believes it, I'd like to ask, HOW EXACTLY IS RAIN HELD. Is there a scientific backing to this theory? 2 Likes |

You must be gifted in the art of African medicine to be able to hold the rain nor move it to a different direction. There is a popular Rainmaker in my town who was famous for holding/moving the rain with rare precision. But pride got over him and he also got greedy and lost his powers. But there are rainmaker and their powers are real and they fight the rain with "WIND". 3 Likes |

philip.adesola:The art of holding the rain is highly spiritual. Its not necessarily voodoo(juju). In the Holy Bible, the prophets of yore(old) held back the rain too. An example is prophet Elijah. The realm of the spiritual controls the physical. simple. 8 Likes |

Its called iha mmiri in igbo. Dere are people who r responsible for making rain fall or hold d rain from falling. I remember wen I was in secondary school and the president as at den. Obasanjo was coming 2 umuahia and I heard dere was a battle between rainmakers in umuahia. One party was trying 2 make rain fall while d other was trying 2 hold d rain from falling. It was funny as I watched rain fall and stop continously. 7 Likes |

God has given other gods power to function, the reason a mortal being can boast of holding rain. The most important thing is that God permits such to happen otherwise, it wont. 3 Likes |
