You see?! See the guy's mindset: "mental illness start with village people"!
We joke about these things but these are what keep Africans believing in nonsense and therefore perpetually backwards. Instead of spending time on real solutions, they're preoccupied with juju, "spiritual", hocus pocus, village people!

There is nothing wrong with your uncle. He is living his life the way he chose to. This African belief that a man must have a wife and children is complete scam. There are many super white rich men and womwn who are not married, nor have children. The most popular being Oprah Winfery.
Let the man choose how he wants to live his life. Knowing what i know now, i for no fall for that pressure of "wife and children" I would have been balling like your uncle, but not in Italy and Austria, but in Nigeria- Lagos and Abuja.

The life of a single, rich man in Nigeria is bliss. Ponder that for a moment.
I'm not saying anything is wrong with my uncle. I'm just saying I hope he'll not come back someday and blame it on the so-called village people.

SMH, there really is no hope for Africa. This mentality is way too deeply ingrained. Just think where the great advances in mental health would be if everytime a person suffers major depression, instead of looking for real remedies, we start looking for "spiritual" and the village people responsible!

The saddest thing is, no matter what happens, even if the evidence is starring them right in the face, they NEVER let go of belief in nonsense!! A disease like epilepsy was caused by village people until scientists came up with medication that controlled it. They NEVER ask themselves why tiny Britain was able to colonize giants, India and Nigeria that are full of juju and gods. They never ask why juju countries are never rich nor tops in sports. I don't know if it is a curse or what, but Africans will never actually try to understand a phenomenon - instead they'll be preoccupied with finding out the juju, "spiritual", or village people that caused it!

Most of the people here commenting up and down are mentally ignorant Nigerias as usual.

The reason why you people consider people coming from America or Europe back to Nigeria with out money is because you people suffer from a mental illness called (inferiority complexity).

End of story.

America or Europe is exactly like Nigeria in terms of economic and opportunities. You have above 80% chance of progression in ur country of origin than outside of ur country.

The only difference here will be (education) now travelling is also part of education but never a part of financial weight.

A lazy man in Nigeria and a lazy man in the USA are the same

The reason why people in Africa believe in Juju is because they are lazy beings by nature. Laziness starts with how u think. Look at average Nigerians, u will see that they leave their lives in groups and not individuals. That is why they are more concerned about what people will think about them. They construed fantasy and agree together to accept it as normal.

Look most Africans as children and can agree that a paper toy plane can fly.

This is the point of their spiritual beliefs and they grow with it. Unfortunately, they are lazy in everything and also lazy in reading, so they can graduate and have masters certificates but their average iq will equall to that of an average modern 10yr old generally.

I think it is deeper than just laziness. Much deeper. I think it is so deeply ingrained into the very fabric of our psyche that NOTHING can make us stop believing in nonsense. Example, even if it were revealed that this man was on drugs or if he were medicated and totally cured, we'd still KNOW for sure it was all cursed by village people!
Re: After 21 Years In US, 9 Years In London, I Found Myself Under Oshodi Bridge by StpidNLmods: 1:19pm On Nov 22, 2023
Anyways, to honest,

(village people) is a Phrase or simply (slang) commonly used by average Nigerian to describe a bad situation that was considered beyond a person's control. But, as we know, people are influenced by the things they say and hear frequently., so it has also affected the mind set of average Nigerian.

I contacted a boy to deliver 10 tires truck of sand within a state here and we agreed he can deliver 3 but he managed only just 1 and held our money for 4days plus not responding to calls. Now, the job owner is yet to pay his balance of just 35k from the single delivery, just 1 day oh because they are waiting for him to continue but he just called me 5his morning to tell that he will going to kill a dog in front of a big Juju to deal with me if I fail to send his money immediately grin

This boy is also a young man of about 30 to 34yrs of age and he is actually the owner of the big truck even though he is finding it very hard to manage the truck. The only thing in his head is Juju and u will hear talk all time about how many Juju chrines he visits and when is about to go to any work, he will kolas and different things and talk for about 1 hour to his so called gods to make him do that work successfully and avoid witches but the irony is that, he find it very very had to buy a new parts to repair hus truck. One day I followed him to one of my deliveries and we will stop for about 4 to 5 times to check the tires then I noticed that one wheel had only 2 bolts working, his ignition will spark and burn for 30 seconds each time he wants to start the truck.

The reality in Nigeria is wonderful

I just pity people who say there's nothing like village people. Omode o moogun o npe ni efo. These people can programme anything from anywhere.

Until you have the understanding that the spiritual controls the physical you will still be doubting. Then you will never take your dreams for granted ever again. Never ever take any dream for granted.

If some people open mouth to say what they have have experienced from Family, kids will not believe.

Even the Bible affirmed A man's enemies are those of his household.


You are at the top you need to maintain the top. There are positions/locations you are that you need POWER to maintain. You work hard you are smart then you get to that top, you think it can be maintained by only your smartness / physical strength? Nooo.

There are those plotting for your downfall. Work hard, pray hard. All will be well.

What do you think some of these rich men and politicians look for when they enter rituals babalawo and all that, Power.


There's a reason why some of us will continue praying MFM prayers. That ministry understands the problem and challenges of the black man. There are prayers and then there are prayers, their prayers are targeted for our own peculiar problems here.


The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availaeth much, no let anybody deceive you.

I watched that video last night on Twitter and I shook my head.

In all you do, never forget to pray
I mean those radical prayer points. The mfm type of prayer. Those fire for fire prayer.

If I begin talk my own!
For the past five years!
Well God has taken over, but yiu see those household enemies?

They are more dangerous than the average kidnapper or Nigerian police, those household enemies would never stop till they render you useless like a used female pad. And guess what, it takes the grace of God before you realize what has actually happened to you.
Some don't until they eventually die.

Its a sad sad world.

The average black man is filled with wickedness and jealousy, they won't succeed and they don't want to see you succeed either. That includes some members of your family.
God help us all.

Very true.
I suffered same fate.
Blacks are there own worst Enemy.
Very foolish, selfish and envious race.
