Anybody with common sense should see that the basket is not perforated and the content is more of thick liquid than water.
Most of them live in abject poverty, why not use the powers to make themselves rich and comfortable?

This is yahoo yahoo.

They pour Resin+Hardener on the basket members to seal the holes. And resin has the exact look of water, and then pour water in it. And a hardened resin is tougher than glass, my friends.

People still fall for this? Then we have scientific illiterates there.
What of using tailor sewing thread to tie goat or RAM to a tree and then you are told to untie it. You never be able to untie it.

These things are petty street magics with explanations. The illiterates would rather believe it's juju. You can even watch YouTube videos to see the trick behind the magic. There's nothing like juju, it's all magic with explanations. The other day I saw a performer swallowing swords and brining money out of thin air and people were shouting juju lol. Illusions we don watch for discovery world and carbonaro effect tire

The Aro people or the people of Arochukwu on Facebook have shared a photo of basket full of water. A basket full of water is a cultural gimmick that portrays that there is nothing absolutely impossible.

It has got many people taking and questioning how that it is even possible.

What people do not know is that, in ancient times even in the contemporary, some towns in Igbo land would always showcase what they were made of.

For instance, till today, Umunoha people put a pot of water on a roaring fire and the water will never be boiled even if they put it on top of hell fire.

In certain villages, like the Arochukwu people, certain festivals warrant displaying a manifold of cultural gimmicks to wow the visitors. In so doing, you would go back to your community and tell them that this so village is powerful.

This above development will make some have respect for your community and cast an appellation of fear in them.
Chairman I have seen this picture long time ago

yes I agree with you but it's not science it was a trick. there is a colourless fluid that can be used to coat the inside of the basket, the basket itself is specially woven

That thing is real. it is juju peculiar to ancient Igbo people. when I was growing up,there is one native doctor called akuohimiri that used basket and fetched water. I don't even know that such native doctors still exist

Why hasn't he used the same power to invent COVID cure?
