pendo89: Don't fall in love too quick no matter what your emotions say.
Take time to grow with the person and let things happen naturally.
In short,dont try too hard to make it work if there's no hope in the horizon.

joelala: born fire! make una dey deceive una sef...

kambili190: I have been praying for months now and I hope it will help before it's too late.

SAFO: What is science? Science is literally testable explanations about existence through logical measurements and not some childlike wonder for beliefs to be wish fulfilled. Unfortunately it doesn't say anything about the cognitive figuring of people outside the realms of science, such as your hokey pokey black magic.

I've been to the village and seen their so called "witchcraft". It's a falsehood that only lies in the minds of the individual.

Without science you would probably think the world was still flat ...... or maybe you do.

kambili190: I have not made up mind whether I believe in this black magic stuff or not. But let's assume it is true and it works. How can one help a person who seems to be under a spell?

SAFO: Please do not insult my intelligence. If black magic was by way of scientific means, the only way to establish its existence would be through the application of logic and reason (or to assume second hand anecdotal evidence is true, which isn't convincing anyhow). I'd go as far as to say in the history of man to this point, there has not been posited a single argument/document for the existence of black magic that has stood up to the scrutiny of reason.

Furthermore, I highly doubt it's empirical. Black magic is mostly mythology taken as experience, but that doesn't make it a true observation of existence or logically defensible either. Similarly,if I were to make a claim that an invisible teapot circled the planet of Jupiter, and that such knowledge was backed by legitimate and empirical evidence, you would readily doubt such a claim, wouldn't you?

So as a skeptic, the onus is on the believer to present credible evidence that would substantiate the existence of black magic, not just heresay and delusional testimonies.



Yes I'm Nigerian and yes I have lived in Nigeria.

I guess my bottom line is this. In the world of science, you're supposed to ask "Why should I believe this?", not "Why shouldn't I believe this?". I'm not going to believe in something just because a bunch of other people do. I don't know about you, but I don't believe everything I hear.



Not to sound rude but that's pure coincidence and could be associated with a number of factors.

Hope your dad is okay.
