I just had a most interesting conversation with a friend. Let's call him 'Dada'. Dada is a bible believing Christian and he mentioned that he doesn't believe that Satan and Lucifer are one and the same spirit, but that is a topic for another day.

What prompted me to bring up this topic was Dada's opinion on a subject that has puzzled me for years because it is close to me heart and I will love to get the views of nairalanders. It is 'The Water Element'.

What is the Water Element? According to Dada, there are some people who are 'from the water', and that itself is not a bad thing. I have a very close pal who belongs to this class of people. She is the first born of her family. According to her, before she (my friend) was born, her mother had a dream, and in this dream, she was in front of a river. Someone dipped their hands inside the river and brought out a baby girl and gave it to her mother.

That same month, her mother conceived and gave birth to my friend 9mths later. Now my friend, who is in her 30s has had dreams where she sees herself in the water with a crown on her head. She has gone for deliverance session several times but these water thingy goes on casual leave, only to return after some months. She didn't ask to ''come from the water'', but finds herself in that situation.

In another illustration, I have sat down and interviewed a woman who claims she was born with a cowrie and a piece of thread in her hand. This lady is from the riverine area, and she has communes with water spirits as a result of the circumstances of her birth.

The Yoruba call this set of people 'awon omo omi', the water children.

Now, Dada says it isn't so bad being someone with the water element, but such a person should not let the influence of the water element become excessive because if it does, such a person will start 'misbehaving'.

These things are very real, and It's all rather confusing and I will like experienced nairalanders to shed more light on this phenomenon.

stuffs like this interest me

those are the pikins of the mammy waters

Sometimes when such issues come up, I'm tempted to attribute them to superstition.... Dunno, but in as much as my interest is Piqued when this phenomenon is being mentioned anywhere, I am skeptical as to if to even contribute..... 1. 'Cause I've never had experience with them, 'awon omo omi'.. 2. I DO NOT PRAY TO..

Hmmmmm...kayefi!!
I really don't know much about this,but I think they are real. Its funny that I even had a lengthy discussion about this with someone yesterday.
His opinion was that before these people can be delivered from such spiritual elements, there must be that free will on their part to let go.
They or whoever is in charge of their life must be willing to be
subservient to higher authority , otherwise, a deliverance session from now till thy kingdom come will only be a futile exercise

why is it that they don't give a male child, just female?!







#to guys, don't toy with these ladies called omo omi, they can make one's life

All children belongs to God. But wait ooo ishilove baby...why revealing our secrets here now....remember we have meeting this evening in the Pacific ocean...I will report you to Olori(leader).

Nice one

Sorry buh if you are by any way linked to such water deities(whether MAMMY Or PAPPY WATER), then i must tell you that you are in a big bondage, nd u should brace up urself for problems, i mean real life problems.
There are stories often told of some people whose parents dedicated their birth and life to such deity and their life had been in shreds & pieces.
At times people complain of issues of different kind: how they have finished sch. Without a job, business set-back, barreness, failure in exams, marriage delay and the likes-- these happenings might be caused by those water elements with which those individual persons had a mutual agreement that bonds them to such deities nd the person in question refused to keep to the do's nd dont's.
Those water elements or whatever they are called, are devil's agent nd u should have nothing to do with them.

Water children are emotional and loving

Hmmmm... I'm seriously following.

The question is, how do such children come about?

brb

What about terrestrial?

Hmmmmm...its true,there are different clans in the water too,the good and the bad. That boy that looks like satan; allureofthesea or is it allureoftheseas should come and explain better.

Last I checked, sex produce babies.
One can't overrule the possibility though. Things happen.

Sorry... But only those that have an encounter with what you talking about could explain better.

Although i have heard & seen some cases,... It appears that they are mostly women & not just ordinary women,but beautiful ones.heard you don't step on their toes,cos that spirit guarding em would deal with you.

I don't think they really exist, just myths

fallacy!!!

God dey o.

engrtee:
Water children are emotional and loving

Yes they are.

Demons in human form

glo everywhere you go

Ha! Nkan be...

Now my friend, who is in her 30s has had dreams where she sees herself in the water with a crown on her head.
No be only crown. Rubbish.

Light and darkness has nothing in common...am a child of light,I don't discuss anything dt has to do with darkness...let it be a taboo unto me to praise mammy water or say anything to glory itz kingdom....
