He does not believe they exist...

Seun:
Most of spiritual experiences in Nigeria are just hallucinations or dreams caused by malaria/fasting, or normal dreams taken too seriously.

blackchukky:
Embark on an excursion to TB's church
afterall demons are being dealt with daily there.
then all your doubts will be cleared

Seun:
Scientists in the house, please talk to these children. Demons are not real. They do not exist. Scientists searched for them and found nothing.

In my years of joining nairaland this is the dumbest post I have read. This is the bane of the problem. People pick up poor kids from the village and make them slaves in the name of being house helps. A so called Pastor looks at a 15 year old girl and concludes she has 5 demons, even goes ahead to name them. How idiotic can this be? This is why these kids are abused, the law does not protect them, they do all sort of terrible things to them in the name of excorcism! Nigerian lawyers must rise up and put a bill forward that would protect these kids.

Nigerians are so wicked. In more civilized climes, if you want to help a girl from the village, it is simple. Adopt her, or become her foster parent. If you want a nanny pay for one! Don't let someone be your slave in the exchange of food and shelter. This must stop!

If the pastor is so gifted in excosizing people, why don't he cast the demon of corruption plaguing Nigeria. Or the demons infested in Boko Haram. When he does that, I will be very convinced.

All right thinking Nigerians should condemn this post - muslims, christians, aethists and agnostics alike. This is despicable and reveals the brokeness in Nigeria.

is this scriptural? I mean deliverance session and all this. Why can't you follow Jess footsteps in casting out demons?

I still wonder why only black Christians do all this. There must be an atom of superstition here

One thing is certain.... A believer can not be a demon-possessed

Edited: The above post was when I was still a Christian

I understand now that this so-called demon possession aint anything spectacular. They are mere psychological disturbance. Pastors don't know anything about it as they are always erroneously attributing it to the supernatural. They only get "clues" from the victim and then conclude that they are demon possessed. Then they hurl prayers on the victim, who also is "falsely" convicted that s/he is possessed. A kind of "placebo effect" takes over; making the victim behave in weird ways like vomitting and the likes.

NOTE: There might be some better scientific explanation I'm ignorant of at the moment.

Bottom line: demon possession is nonsense

Oga, sometimes it's best to be quiet. You talk about being a man and of age, act like it. It isn't all threads you post your gibberish, take it to the politics section.

Did you meet a demon? Tell us all about your meeting with the demon. Let's discuss it.

Seun:
I believe in the existence of evil people who do wicked things to innocent people. But they're not demons, they are flesh and blood like you & I.

Thanks Guys.

@sarrasin Mind you I have no intention of confronting a demon nor a demon-possessed. everything I have learned since childhood tells you to steer clear. It seems demons in modern times have come as close to reality as the mallam selling provisions down the street. manifestations are so frequent these days. it gives one great concern.

When i moved to my rented apartment, a pastor had to come and do some cleansing because the previous tenant was a traditionalist of sorts. who knows what spirits he left behind. throughout my stay i have experienced odd happenings which i have ignored because it could be something else.

Now I am ready to get a house-help and this happens How can I tell normal behavior from demon-induced behavior the thought of having someone do evil stuff to my kid when i am not at home scares me dead. I just cannot wrap my head around this phenomenon which is why i am seeking help. Practical Help. most of the articles I have read sound like fantasy stories.

@joagbaje. i mention spirits cos i hear that some dead folks never get to go so they hang around people especially vulnerable minors. so are they demons too? I also learned that demons are as old as earth itself. they have knowledge and are very intelligent. how can one match such experience when confronted with a demon. from the looks of it, this young girl is an illiterate, how she is expected to wake up one morning and become a war demon is beyond me.

Seun:
You believe it because your religion says so, not because you have personally met the Jinn and confirmed their existence, but they don't exist.

One thing is clear, the fact these demons are largely invisible complicates studies relating to their existence/behaviour. From my own experience, demons drink petrol. They love petrol. Hence the petrol scarcities.

You think?

Jarus:
I amd a Muslim and I believe there is Jinn (not the exact translation of demon, but very close to the translation).

steppins:
You don dey claim Mr agnostic.
If person rub powder for face, wear white cloth for night come meet you, e go clear for your eye.

haibe:
you are yet to prove that they don't exist

Jarus:
Have you met electric current before? Does electric current exist?

Oga, I have witnessed and experienced Jinn and have enough proof to they exist.

Seun:
Yes, I would be scared, because a crazy human stranger with poor fashion sense broke into my home.
