AlPeter:
You are avoiding the simple question nothing just happen. Bro. That is the first rule any investigative mind knows. why did the ancient civilization believe in the supernatural despite not having contacts?

toby2:
good morning mr. First i just notice of recent that u are an atheist, and i think ur 'enlighthened' mind has made u to question lots of 'unscientific' reality.
First, the word SUPER- NATURAL is used 'cos its not a common thing, neither is it a general thing... Its like having an anomally in a 'normal' gathering. That it can't be scientifically proven today doesn't mean it won't be tomorrow. Now back to ur question. In a world of natural, there is meant to be super-natural. If u understand what i mean, then u wont be termed gullible, rather open-minded to know that strange things happen everywhere, some buried and called Myth.

GidiQuotes:
You don't need to believe, billions already do!

HomoSapiien:


I shared 3 videos and you watched one and you are here claiming none of it answered your question? Guy why are you lying to yourself?

Okay, let's agree you are right, did anyone of them claim to acquire the trick from any babalawo like your experience suggest?

Tellemall:


They all always ignore this part so that they can wallow in "logic and scientific evidence".

None of them can answer this particular thing. Usually the conversation ends here. Or they shift it. And like themselves after.

For people who pride themselves in their ability to think, their thinking is rather limited to one direction. If science can't explain it they resort to calling it a hallucination.

Done with them.

Pidgin2:
Lol, the irony of this issue is that real witches and wizards will be posting here and trying to convince people that they are not real because it is good for them that you don't believe they are real so that they can operate without restrictions and also initiate the skeptical

Hawlahscho:


Since they refused to let me respond to this with a text

Acidosis:


No, you and your likes are the ignorant ones. Best you could do is sit behind your computer and say trash about things you don't know. There are over 500,000 Churches and deliverance centres in Nigeria.

Wouldn't it be better you visit just one and watch how deliverance services are conducted?


You lots are simply being s!lly for denying the truths you know. How would someone just assume every one are being paid to "act", act for who? to convince who?


It is indeed a s!lly submission (a consequence of 'un-exposure'). People get shots daily and their skins become impenetrable. A lot of times, I've witnessed how cutlasses fail to penetrate skins during a yearly traditional festival at Abraka, Delta state. I schooled there, so I know. You don't know because you're ignorant, unexposed to events around you, and never want to know. So you guys can continue to dwell in your unbelief as nobody can help you.

Hawlahscho:


Dont you know they may be hiding how You must be a learner.

You asked how it was possible without the intervention of any babalawo, you got 3 videos and i asked if you wanted more — which you didn't bother to answer. Now you watched only one of them and still claiming they - (in the 3videos) and those ones that i haven't shared — are hiding how they were able to do it. Even if they actually are, what gave you the presupposition that it was indeed the work of a babalawo like your story,

Lennycool:

And did you do an anatomical investigation into the individual. No. the doctors that did placed the idea forward. How do you expect to know more when you've already placed it into the unexplainable supernatural category. If every scientist were like you we wouldn't have even known how rain fell.
Investigate before conclusion.

Lennycool:

And I said they blamed other humans for diseases and bad. They knew nothing about viruses or bacteria so they thought evil spirits were the ones spreading diseases. That was why they believed in supernatural causes. No science to explain.

Seun:
What is the basis for your belief that "real witches and wizards" actually exist?

hahn:


The real irony is that witches and wizards can open a nairaland a account, according to you, while your almighty god still rides on horses and cannot access the internet to save the lives of it's creations.

Oh, I forgot. Your god loves the smell of suya

Pidgin2:

Their activities are real. I'm sure some are reading this and will likely counter this post.

Lennycool:

We're not talking about tricksters or Gypsies. We're talking about real supernatural powers, and if developed countries are concerned with them.

AlPeter:
NOPE, you'r jumping to conclusions, it doesn't explain why the Aztecs and every other people then believes in the metaphysical despite not knowing about each other. also there are ignorant acts associated with witchcraft doesn't make it unreal. Think cc seun

Hawlahscho:



That means there is a way of making someone's mouth lining and stomach lining thicker?? Because he could not eat d blade before until after his father did those things he claimed he did to him.

Embark on another research on how to make d linings you're hiding behind thicker.


I DONT KNOW IF WITCHES EXIST OR NOT.

Thanks for your comment.

AlPeter:
am asking how they came to the evil spirit conclusion? If it were one group it is understandable but all? Come on. Waiting for answer

puresaint12:
Which one is REAL Supernatural powers again biko? So fortune telling is not supernatural? Ok now I get it, Except it's not smallville-like, or Heroes-like, or 4400-like, it is not supernatural? U amuse me Bro. Most Atheists claim to be open minded,but on nairaland, It's d exact opposite.

Lennycool:

Fortune telling is not exact, and its mostly guesses drawn from the individual present.
If it was supernatural every fortune tell would be a millionaire with all the lotteries they would be winning.
Don't be deceived

AlPeter:
jumping to conclusion again. The so called lining you are talking of is made up of Mucus and its job is to protect the stomach from its own acid. Now this mucous layer can't be found your intestine, mouth or oesophagus this is basic biology. So what prevent them from tearing your insides. NOTE; those suffering from Pica usually have surgery due to digestion problems.

puresaint12:
Seee, another Hasty close-minded conclusion. Have you met a Fortune teller before? I guess not.the Supernatural is better personally experienced,you have to play the music of the spirits,for spirits to dance with you.And scientist and science lovers are very inquistive,they can do anything to get to the fact, but you and your friends are proving otherwise

DeSepiero:


An intelligent person who believes that something exists should be able to provide evidence that such a things exists and convince another person conveniently.

So as the learned person you claim to be, convince me with evidence that witchcraft is real and stop inviting me to an unknown location in Nigeria. Not everyone you meet here stays there.

Lennycool:

And what scientific study has proved fortune telling is exact. What scientist strongly believe in the supernaturally?
If scientist don't regard the supernatural as real why should i?
But like I said believe what you want it's your life.

You forgot to add, that witches also drive the car of their victim, at night to their coven. And when the victim touches the car in the morning, the engine will be very hot.

puresaint12:
just listen to yourself. What do scientists,lovers of science, those that don't know but really want to know, do when they want to discover something? Do u watch Discovery channel?Nat Geo wild? They go on a personal research, to experience it, by Themselves! What is the white man doing in the jungle in kenya, what was mungo park doing in The Niger,what was Neil Armstrong doing on the moon? They Were EXPERIENCING! That's what You should do and not staying comfortably wherever you say You are whining and demanding Evidence across your computer on an Online forum!
Mimmicks*'Stop inviting me to Nigeria,Not everyone you meet here, stays here' lookateew...

DeSepiero:


Nobody is claiming to be a scientist and a 'lover of science' yet. Nobody is totally refusing to visit places rumored to be known for practicing sorcery.

An inquisitive fellow is simply seeking peoples experiences with what they'll call witchcraft and their reasons for believing its real.

Do you think that's out of place?

UyiIredi:
I believe in the supernatural but I'll keep my fingers crossed on witches. The evidence for them is weak despite widespread anecdotes about their existence. Besides, whites once widely believed in such but nowadays with the growth of skepticism they don't and apparently the 'witches' don't bother them.
