Are you in Anambra state presently





Mrskillz1:
I am from a family of three. I have two brothers. One older and the other younger than me so I'm the only girl in my family.

I grew up seeing my Mom mad.
By my teen age, I got admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe University alongside my elder brother who was to study Engineering. By the time I was in my finals, my brother was getting ready for IT. One day, his roommate sent for me, he said they couldn't sleep the night before because my brother was talking to himself. Before we knew what was happening, my brother was getting violent and so we took him home and he never got back to finish school.
I proceeded with my education and finished. Went for NYSC. While serving the nation, My Mom died. When I got home, she'd been buried.
But my brother was still mad.

I later got job, took my brother to a Psychiatric hospital and the doctor after examining him said he is Schizophrenic. He was asked to stay in the hospital.
I paid. He then stayed there for one month. When I came to visit him, he pleaded with me to take him home that he didn't like it there.

So I took him home. Every month, I buy drugs for him and he gets injected. He usually puts up a fight but with the help of my younger brother, neighbors and a certain nurse, he receives the injection, forcefully and against his will.
Often times, he pleads with me not to inject him, the very time I obliged him, he scattered things, didn't allow the neighborhood sleep, talked throughout some nights and wouldn't eat sometimes. He looked really sick then but with the injection, one will hardly know he's not normal.
I told him that I won't let him miss his injection ever again.

Now, on Monday, my younger brother woke up and was unusually quiet. He normally wakes up and begins to play music with his phone or he will turn to football channel and watch until I leave for work. But I didn't go to work on Monday and I noticed he was quiet, then I asked him why he's quiet. He didn't respond. After some hours, I asked my Dad if he feels he's okay, My Dad said that he wants to be quiet and that I should let him be.

Then, that night, around 4am, my brother began to talk. He was shouting and some of the things he said were not coherent. He talked out of point. I and my Dad, with my elder brother surrounded him and I couldn't help crying when my Dad was cautioning him to keep quiet and he refused.
Neighbours thought it was my elder brother's voice they'd heard that night but by the time they heard in the morning that it was my younger brother, they visited my Dad in the evening. By then, my brother was still talking and even burnt his clothes yesterday.
My Dad got a few guys to chain him because he was violent yesterday when I left the house.
I know the problem is spiritual. I have prayed, fasted for my elder brother and now this!
I'm so unhappy.

Can someone suggest a place I can take my two brothers to so they can be cured, please.

It's like you want your brothers to go COMPLETELY MAD abi??

You already have proof that medications work to an extent on your younger brother abi? Which other solution do you seek alert from what works already??!

The moment you carry that man into a spiritual home is the moment his madness will go into gear 4.

And deep down inside you, you already know the source of the problem. IT IS HEREDITARY! A.K.A in your blood.

Hello!! You mean to say you went through school and the words 'genetics' never sunk into your head?!

....

You see religion and superstition is really killing African growth. How can a fully grown university educated man seek health solutions from any other place outside a health facility??

And before u start quoting me, just know I also have a cousin who is mentally unstable and suffers from schizophrenia too.

My neighbor had a burst vein in his head from High BP complications and his illiterate mom rushed him to a spiritual home where he went into coma during their spiritual razzmatazz.

Before her head correct it's too late. Nigga was DOA by the time they got to the hospital.

In fact, I believe any religious home that takes on the role of a healthcare provider should be sued and probably even shut down.

...

Here is how the scientific process works:

- You encounter a problem.
- You make guesses/assumptions to what the solution could be & ask questions to the cause of the prob.
- You make guesses using the answers you got. Called a hypothesis. This guess should be something testable. Meaning anyone can replicate the tests.
- Make a prediction from the answers you get
- Now you run some tests on that hypothesis (usually trial and errors while noting what works)
- You come up with more hypothesis
- You know what works to an extent (in your case, drugs) which leads you to making a clearer prediction.

- you test again till you come up with a theory of how to go about such issues in future...

....


Now, over the thousands of years mankind and modern humans have literally done almost all these testing for us and we only have to improve on it. But NO! Not an African man.

An African man will encounter a problem and instead of following the scientific step, he will immediately say to himself, "I need to talk to God about this" or worse, "it looks spiritual. I can't do anything about it if God doesn't do anything about it"

... And just in that moment, all the creative ideas and potential discoveries that could have been made will be cut short!

.....


You see, when we cry over the dangers of superstition in Africa and how it is underdeveloping us Christians and other religious folks will rather put the devil on you by calling Atheist or Apethists (people who don't care about deities) devil worshipers than see reasons with us.

I mean, just imagine what an adult who passed through the 4 walls of a classroom is saying. It's deeper than just getting school knowledge and I don't blame anyone because it is a result of hundreds of years of torture and slavery by the white people who brought on this scam called religion to us

(Don't mistake religion for spirituality or spiritism)

Africans pls plssss stop bowing to the ducking skies and learn to use your heads

The damaging effects of religion is not just found in our healthcare system. It's everywhere. Most especially in our minds. Slavery ducked us up real good. But then we keep ducking ourselves everyday by choosing to remain in the slavery

It's like what Kanye West said in an interview on TMZ that went viral. "400 years of slavery seemed like a choice"

Sorry I'm coming off as harsh but pls I beg you in the name of anything you believe in, DO NOT STEP ONE FOOT into ANY religious home. Well, except you want to dump your bro there for the worse.

And the funny thing is this:

When you let a super-religious person in on the TRUTH about their bullshit they'll always go through these stages:

1. Denial or Ridicule (they deny it or Ridicule it/you)

2. Rejection [they reject it entirely and will become violent towards the source of the information (you) ]

3. Acceptance (they finally begin to see reason)

Which explains why I don't like having a religious convo with anyone. I just listen and nod or zone you off.

And the reason is because I hate being the bearer of bad news. And I hate being at the receiving end of the 3 stages of accepting the truth I listed above.

It's also one of the reasons why the bearer of bad news in the olden days were usually put to death by the King.

Anyone who loses a loved one also passes through those 3 stages before accepting the truth.

First, you ridicule the info.
Then you react violent to oppose it.
Later, acceptance dwells in.

It also explains why most superstitious folks HATE atheist (or rather dispise the people/persons who first told them God don't exist)

And another reason is because it goes against everything you've ever known from birth. In other words, the person is saying you're stewpid.

And no one likes being stewpid

Thank you for making it early to frontpage!
By the time I see such threads, it would have been too late to comment.

Superstitious, myopic, religious fear induced and meaningless balderdash keeping Africans in bondage.

Like others said, it isn't spiritual..

It's however hereditary...

Prayers may help in stopping it from passing to other generations.

Ensure your siblings visit the psychiatrist regularly and use the drugs being given.

Nawao. Nigerians and churches. As at last count, she has been referred to more than eleven churches. So, which one is she going to go? My sister, may the Lord be with you and provide you with the needed guidance and grace. Always carry your extended family and your daddy along. Don't go solo on this issue.

Medical solutions first before all these churches. But to add my own church, if you are a catholic, please visit the blessed sacrament in your parish. Share this issue with a holy ghost father and above all, use this May devotion period to ask for our Lady's intercession.

Grace to you my sister.

In case you get to see this post, I want to encourage you that it's not likely to be spiritual as they might have inherited it from your mom.
Schizophrenia can be hereditary and it's age bound, meaning that it starts manifesting at a particular age range, like guys in their early 20s (20-24) while ladies in their late 20s. so if check at what age it started you will agree with me. Meanwhile,it can be caused by other factors like drug abuse or childhood trauma

It doesn't have cure for now but with medication it will be managed.
-They hallucinate (see things that are not there)
-hear voices that are not real
-hold strongly to what they believe
-they will keep suspecting that you are their problem

They will generally lack proper concentration to prosper well in brain tasking stuffs like academics. So encouraging them to learn a skill that is not much brain tasking is key.

If you are not yet above 30-35, I'm praying for you that you didn't pick the gene..

take it easy with your brothers and know that it's not their fault and they obviously know no what they do..

Please don't listen to those asking you to ask your father questions, the man is equally going through the trauma of watching his wife and sons go through this.

I'm currently managing a patient and I understand how tasking it's and it has been very humbling on my own part.
This is one of the issues of life that we don't have proper answer for... The Lord help and strengthen you.

You need to act fast on this one.. Seek a prayerful pastor you can't do this alone. I suspect your dad is hiding something from you guys, sit him down and have a proper discussion with him, I don't know a sane man that would stay quiet while his sons run mad one after another . May God intervene in your family, this is so sad.


Exactly what I just said in my comment. The dad knows something from the way he's calm about the whole thing. It's not just genetical like she's claiming. I mean, what man would sit comfortably and watch his household being consumed in madness and not seek for solution?
I'm not saying he has a hand in it but he prolly knows something nobody knows.

I feel touched reading your story. A cousin of mine had gone through similar situation in the past but he healed and today he's perfectly okay and doing well in his business. The descriptions you narrated fit exactly what my cousin had passed through. Now, I am not in Nigeria to assist personally. But I do remember where the family brought my cousin for his treatment. Go to Agulu (Agulu is a town near Awka in Anambra State) and ask for the psychiatric home run by a man named Akataaka. I don't know his real names but Akataaka is what he's known by. Just make enquiries and take your brother to Agulu.

Mrskillz1:

Has your intelligence ever failed you?
Did you see me here all these years seeking for solution?
I went science way because I knew it's in the gene but then, I found that it's not the best because of the generations after and so I began to seek permanent solution.
Something must have triggered it because my mom's ancestors had no record of such.
So if it started along the line, something must have influenced it. This is why I'm out here looking for a fix. Not the kind of fix drugs do.
Something higher.

I'm intelligent my dear, but right now...I really do not know.

I feel your pain tbh. But you are desperate, and it can happen to anyone so desperate. It can make us abandon our sense of reasoning and make us seek for what seems to be the fastest solution. I wish your brother peace of mind from whatever troubles his mind, and I wish you too peace of mind sis. May you find the right path to proper healing of your brother's mind, soul and body.

Look out for NSPPD on Facebook and YouTube with Pst. Jerry Eze. Watch past prayer sessions, then tune in every 7am Monday to Friday to watch live. It's and online prayer, so you don't need to go to anywhere, rather than from the comfort of your home.

I'm so sorry for what you going through.

"Mad" is loosed term for such a Schizophrenic mental illness and i understand your brothers (elder and now younger) are going through episodes.

This isn't by anyway SPIRITUAL as most people are suggesting. It's a known scientific fact that mental illness is hereditary hence the re-occurence amongst your siblings.

Get your younger brother the drug presribed to the older one and get them to always go to see the therapist weekly or monthly for evaluation.

Control the type of information they take in and people they get involved with. They do not need to be mentally stressed, overloaded or emotionally triggered otherwise, they will relapse into an episode.

You got this BIG sis. Thanks for being there for them. You their HERO right now.

I'm feeling the drastic action I should take should involve fixing the root cause rather than preventing them from birthing.

I wish there's someone that can see into the past and tell me how it all began, then I'll know where to channel my energy to.
If someone placed the curse, then we can appeal.

Hmmm... Well if you aren't wearing the shoes you can't really know how truly it fits. Listen I won't begin to tell you what to believe or what is or is not because am not in your shoes.

All I can say is take care of yourself too. I can't even begin to imagine the mental strain this has caused you. But please take care of yourself. I would like to recommend you be careful as you go on a hunt for a lasting solution so you don't get swindled or something worse.

I am in the medical field so my first instinct is alway to consult medical help. But I can't say mental health treatment in Nigeria is top notch. If you had enough cash I would suggest you go abroad. Treatment of mental illness isn't a one way method like what you have been doing for your elder brother. Medication is good but it has to go with other stuff like psychotherapy, behavioural therapy and other stuff. Combination of all of these makes the future prospects better. I don't know how good the place you took your elder brother from is. But I felt you should have kept him there or possibly find a much better place where he will be well taken care of to the point where hopefully he can adequately take care of himself. Just giving him drugs alone won't do the trick.

If you want to go spiritual route, well its not one I would suggest but, even the bible says be it unto you according to your faith. So anything is possible. Can't speak on the curse part, but do what you must BUT WITHIN REASON.

I would suggest you do genetic tests synlab are good at it. Knowledge of this will help you make better decisions for the future if you want to have kids of your own or if you adopt instead. I would rather you don't go through this again with your kids. That will be too much I feel.

You are going through alot, I am truly sorry about it all. I really hope things start looking up for both your brothers, for their sakes and yours. Chin up!

It also explains why most superstitious folks HATE atheist (or rather dispise the people/persons who first told them God don't exist)

And another reason is because it goes against everything you've ever known from birth. In other words, the person is saying you're stewpid.

And no one likes being stewpid

Re: Help! My Younger Brother Is Going Mad by wallarwallar(m): 3:46pm On May 08, 2021
Mrskillz1:
I am from a family of three. I have two brothers. One older and the other younger than me so I'm the only girl in my family.

I grew up seeing my Mom mad.
By my teen age, I got admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe University alongside my elder brother who was to study Engineering. By the time I was in my finals, my brother was getting ready for IT. One day, his roommate sent for me, he said they couldn't sleep the night before because my brother was talking to himself. Before we knew what was happening, my brother was getting violent and so we took him home and he never got back to finish school.
I proceeded with my education and finished. Went for NYSC. While serving the nation, My Mom died. When I got home, she'd been buried.
But my brother was still mad.

I later got job, took my brother to a Psychiatric hospital and the doctor after examining him said he is Schizophrenic. He was asked to stay in the hospital.
I paid. He then stayed there for one month. When I came to visit him, he pleaded with me to take him home that he didn't like it there.

So I took him home. Every month, I buy drugs for him and he gets injected. He usually puts up a fight but with the help of my younger brother, neighbors and a certain nurse, he receives the injection, forcefully and against his will.
Often times, he pleads with me not to inject him, the very time I obliged him, he scattered things, didn't allow the neighborhood sleep, talked throughout some nights and wouldn't eat sometimes. He looked really sick then but with the injection, one will hardly know he's not normal.
I told him that I won't let him miss his injection ever again.

Now, on Monday, my younger brother woke up and was unusually quiet. He normally wakes up and begins to play music with his phone or he will turn to football channel and watch until I leave for work. But I didn't go to work on Monday and I noticed he was quiet, then I asked him why he's quiet. He didn't respond. After some hours, I asked my Dad if he feels he's okay, My Dad said that he wants to be quiet and that I should let him be.

Then, that night, around 4am, my brother began to talk. He was shouting and some of the things he said were not coherent. He talked out of point. I and my Dad, with my elder brother surrounded him and I couldn't help crying when my Dad was cautioning him to keep quiet and he refused.
Neighbours thought it was my elder brother's voice they'd heard that night but by the time they heard in the morning that it was my younger brother, they visited my Dad in the evening. By then, my brother was still talking and even burnt his clothes yesterday.
My Dad got a few guys to chain him because he was violent yesterday when I left the house.
I know the problem is spiritual. I have prayed, fasted for my elder brother and now this!
I'm so unhappy.

Can someone suggest a place I can take my two brothers to so they can be cured, please.



You really need to start praying and go all out spiritual for yourself cos it is coming to you and by that time there wud be nobody to care for anyone This is a spell within d family and it actually happen at an appointed time .. May God be with ur family and deliver you all from every curses and evil upon your family in jesus name

Mrskillz1:

I have asked questions.
My mom became mad as she got pregnant with my younger brother.
By then, my Dad said he took her to several places and was told that it was ogbanje. My mom is very beautiful and hardworking.
Her family joined in the solution.
She became okay after she put to bed.
Then they decided not to have more kids.
My mom's shop is in main market onitsha, after a few years, the madness returned and her shop was closed down. By then, we had grown a little and so everyone concentrated on us, giving us a life.
I remember that my mom leaves house every morning and will trek to main market and hang around there and return by evening.
This she did daily.
She was not violent. She was usually by herself.
Her brothers usually came to see her.
My Dad took care of her grooming.
Until few years back when she suddenly stopped going to market and stayed indoors for like a week.
Then one night, my Dad said she called him as they were sleeping and said to him that we will be fine.
Then they slept off and she didn't wake up in the morning.
I m thinking u should ask ur dad if he was told anything by ur moms family. If there r other people who ve gone mad in ur moms family then it is from there. But do a thorough investigation especially from ur moms side . Even if u r praying u ve to know d source of ur problem, n don't go telling any pastor d source they r all phycologists using info u give them to rip u off.

It's like you want your brothers to go COMPLETELY MAD abi??

You already have proof that medications work to an extent on your younger brother abi? Which other solution do you seek alert from what works already??!

The moment you carry that man into a spiritual home is the moment his madness will go into gear 4.

And deep down inside you, you already know the source of the problem. IT IS HEREDITARY! A.K.A in your blood.

Hello!! You mean to say you went through school and the words 'genetics' never sunk into your head?!

....

You see religion and superstition is really killing African growth. How can a fully grown university educated man seek health solutions from any other place outside a health facility??

And before u start quoting me, just know I also have a cousin who is mentally unstable and suffers from schizophrenia too.

My neighbor had a burst vein in his head from High BP complications and his illiterate mom rushed him to a spiritual home where he went into coma during their spiritual razzmatazz.

Before her head correct it's too late. Nigga was DOA by the time they got to the hospital.

In fact, I believe any religious home that takes on the role of a healthcare provider should be sued and probably even shut down.

...

Here is how the scientific process works:

- You encounter a problem.
- You make guesses/assumptions to what the solution could be & ask questions to the cause of the prob.
- You make guesses using the answers you got. Called a hypothesis. This guess should be something testable. Meaning anyone can replicate the tests.
- Make a prediction from the answers you get
- Now you run some tests on that hypothesis (usually trial and errors while noting what works)
- You come up with more hypothesis
- You know what works to an extent (in your case, drugs) which leads you to making a clearer prediction.

- you test again till you come up with a theory of how to go about such issues in future...

....


Now, over the thousands of years mankind and modern humans have literally done almost all these testing for us and we only have to improve on it. But NO! Not an African man.

An African man will encounter a problem and instead of following the scientific step, he will immediately say to himself, "I need to talk to God about this" or worse, "it looks spiritual. I can't do anything about it if God doesn't do anything about it"

... And just in that moment, all the creative ideas and potential discoveries that could have been made will be cut short!

.....


You see, when we cry over the dangers of superstition in Africa and how it is underdeveloping us Christians and other religious folks will rather put the devil on you by calling Atheist or Apethists (people who don't care about deities) devil worshipers than see reasons with us.

I mean, just imagine what an adult who passed through the 4 walls of a classroom is saying. It's deeper than just getting school knowledge and I don't blame anyone because it is a result of hundreds of years of torture and slavery by the white people who brought on this scam called religion to us

(Don't mistake religion for spirituality or spiritism)

Africans pls plssss stop bowing to the ducking skies and learn to use your heads

The damaging effects of religion is not just found in our healthcare system. It's everywhere. Most especially in our minds. Slavery ducked us up real good. But then we keep ducking ourselves everyday by choosing to remain in the slavery

It's like what Kanye West said in an interview on TMZ that went viral. "400 years of slavery seemed like a choice"

Sorry I'm coming off as harsh but pls I beg you in the name of anything you believe in, DO NOT STEP ONE FOOT into ANY religious home. Well, except you want to dump your bro there for the worse.

And the funny thing is this:

When you let a super-religious person in on the TRUTH about their bullshit they'll always go through these stages:

1. Denial or Ridicule (they deny it or Ridicule it/you)

2. Rejection [they reject it entirely and will become violent towards the source of the information (you) ]

3. Acceptance (they finally begin to see reason)

Which explains why I don't like having a religious convo with anyone. I just listen and nod or zone you off.

And the reason is because I hate being the bearer of bad news. And I hate being at the receiving end of the 3 stages of accepting the truth I listed above.

It's also one of the reasons why the bearer of bad news in the olden days were usually put to death by the King.

Anyone who loses a loved one also passes through those 3 stages before accepting the truth.

First, you ridicule the info.
Then you react violent to oppose it.
Later, acceptance dwells in.

It also explains why most superstitious folks HATE atheist (or rather dispise the people/persons who first told them God don't exist)

And another reason is because it goes against everything you've ever known from birth. In other words, the person is saying you're stewpid.

And no one likes being stewpid
I have tried to read and read again but can't still understand you. Are you trying to let us not that there is no God or there is no supreme being?
Re: Help! My Younger Brother Is Going Mad by yommen: 3:49pm On May 08, 2021
Mrskillz1:

Amen.

I really need genuine help.
I believe so much that this will stop in my generation because my Mom used to tell us then even when she was mad that we will be fine. I want my brothers to be fine.


You yourself should start going to MFM. Thirty minutes between 12am and 2am, you should wake up and pray. Do this along with any other thing you see reasonable. Mind you, I used to know a psychologic home in Odogunyan, a place in Lagos state. People in the area said the Dr is very good. Send me a mail yomiadeyanju@yahoo.com if it won't be too far for you. I'll help you find out if the place still operates.

I
And

Thanks for your comment.

Speaking as a 1) health worker 2) a religious person 3) someone who thinks science works (sometimes...)...there is a reason why she wants a quick spiritual solution

1. Mental illnesses take a long time to treat, and in some instances, the treatment regimen never works at all. Let's not even begin talking about the cost of treatment. This is not like 'spending a few days in hospital to get well'..can be months, even years.

2.The drugs themselves can have some nasty side effects..which in turn make the sick person not willing to take them..rightly

3.In DEVELOPED COUNTRIES...well most of them...there is enough support for the families of mentally ill people. That does not exist in Nigeria.

4.We don't have enough healthcare facilties, and trained staff for mental care (and we are better than some African countries).And the standard of care is not perfect.

The lass' family has already gone through stress with brother one, they don't want to go through stress with brother 2. So, quick solutions is what they are on the lookout for.

At least it is schizophrenia...which has some possibility of succesful management.

Please there this is spiritual, I don't know how to use this platform to send direct massages, but please you need to do this. I follow a prayer platform every 7am on weekdays on you tube NSPPD and the prayers are hot. I come from a place of battles so I know what I am saying, I don't know how I will get your number so I can be sending you the link every morning . At this point you need to keep praying while undergoing treatment.
What God cannot do does not exist!

Be very prayerful. God heal him and strengthen you in this time. I suggest locating a strong prayer ministry in or out of your state. This is a spiritual problem.
