Please if you don't know anything don't speak

The Edosomwan family is very well known to me

One works in CBN

One is the CEO of teksightedge a small media company!
dont just talk for the sake of it sir

Those ones are different. We are talking of this particular woman and how they were stylishly trying to say she is “Edo someone” because they know such people are normally from Edo

nice write up. If well investigated, stories of jazz are exaggerations to create more mysteries and fears around natural things that are well concealed to make them appear supernatural.

But there's still this jazz I don't understand and I know it would have an explanation, if you can help though, it is the jazz of bulletproof. I haven't seen personally but heard of people who were shot and bullet refused to penetrate or people who were matcheted but the machete had no effect. How did that work?

I think this answers u. I wrote it in a different thread long ago. It got many likes:

“Happens in the West all the time too. Guns jam. People point and shoot a person and instead someone else is hit. Very easy to prove any of this. Simple, fortify yourself and have scientists shoot u in a lab. If nothing happens, case closed. Existence of bulletproof juju is forever established”

This is easy .
Whenever yhu truly want something, in the purest of ways, the purest of desires . The entire universe conspires to get yhu that thing. Its simply the law of attraction, yhur mind is a part of a much bigger system, no mind exist of its own.

as humans we are constantly under the influence of other minds or influencing other, from people who you meet for the first,yet your scared of them to people who you claim to like or love, its all mental.

As a child, thanks to the power of imagination yhu can easily connect to the purest, most innocent of desires, as an adult its mumbo jumbo, unless yhu have special training, or yhu know how to recognise certain subtle energies , the energies you can recognise determine how suggestive you are, how deep into your mind , you can delve in. its almost impossible to consciously achieve as adult, cause to us elder, action = reaction, cause = effect, work = chop, 1+ 1 = 2. The constant noise, logic of the physical and conscious mind makes it impossible. But as far as yhur a human being with a active yhu access mental state /pure desire subconsciously.

Back then when I wanted anything as a kid, and I feel I have to fo extra miles for it , I go into a sortof very suggestive, trance like state. as far as a kid can go any way, and in that state I repeat a phrase representing what I wanted. Normally I wud do it just before sleep takes hold of me at night.

If I see the object of my desire in my dream, I know am getting it, if I don't see it , I know am not getting it. I got my first laptop this way, I always know when my dad has money etc,using this method as a kid.

Like yhu I started out with the devil and Jesus annology, devil give me this, devil give me that. Till I bumped into a book on psychology, the technique I used on myself as a kid is called sophrology and auto suggestion.

As a kid, that is what yhu were doing, yhu wanted it, yhur mind knew where it was/how to get it, but communicating the location of the toy yhu wanted to yhu, when yhu don't the language of the subconscious mind, is dif

(First of all, please, I beg you, stop writing you as yhu)

I have a question: that yahho plus guy that did all the ridiculous things babalawo told him to do, after which 5m was put in his bank account, how did his mind put the money in his account?
Or people who have gift of vision, how does their mind tell them what would happen in the future?
Or children who can vividly remember who they were in past life and how they died?
So there are limits to this psychology mind stuff. There is a supernatural aspect to this our world that’s beyond our understanding

i remember catching a pigeon didnt tamper with its wings

only got a candle lit it
kinda got in d mood like i saw them do in naija movies them

touched d wings and moved it round d fire in circular way and left it

the pigeon never flew again no matter hw it tried

i was very lil then mayb 9 or 10 but it stuck in my memories

So u repeat it, if doesn’t happen again then it was coincidence

I am very worried about the spate of ritual killings going on in the country and wanted to share information that may free some people.

Before you read the rest of what I have to say, make sure you understand the below allegory about the boy, the car, the mechanic, and the father. Its very important.

To be continued........................................

Good effort. The problem with your write-up is that u presume to know how our universe is set up which none of us will ever know for sure.
Check this out:
**There is a saying: “the earth is too vast”.
**Yet about 1,500,000 earths can fit into our sun.
**And that our sun that’s so big, guess what, there are 200 billion of stars like it in our galaxy alone.
** Then there are over 100,000,000,000 galaxies in our universe
** Then the number of universes is infinite (according to a most popular theory)

That’s the reality of what u r dealing with.

As to wether there is a supernatural and wether there exists jazz that can work regardless of the faith of the person.
There was a Yahho who said he did everything baba told him to do. After that someone mysteriously added 5m to his bank account. I think that’s how jazz works when it works. there are stupendously Wealthy people and entities whose main enjoyment is to use the lure of that money to get people to do all sorts of ridiculous and diabolical stuff.
As for supernatural, many people have received winning lottery numbrs in dreams or have had prophetic dreams

wink2015:
Sex trafficking is a scam.

Who told the European that those girls will live righteous lives if they were to remain in Nigeria?

The family of some of these girls even gave their full consent to the trafficking syndicate with the assurance that these girls will be taken to Europe to open the opportunity of their family member.

Of course most of their families consent fully because they can see how those who left b4 helped their families. Still doesn’t make it any less sex trafficking

You'll be shocked at how many NLers don't...

I know, they’d tell u it’s only because they are in Nigeria, otherwise they’d be hard-working angels

9jaRealist:
Nigerians! "Excelling" all over the world...

Funny enough, if these were "excelling" in good. things...
The comments would be that it was because they LEFT Nigeria.

Folks, for better and/or for worse...
You can take Nigerians out of Nigeria, but not Nigeria out of Nigerians!

But everybody knows that. U r saying it like it’s a new discovery

KosiGee:
I thought it was a mistake. Edosomwan is an anagram of Edos Woman.

I see your point... yeah u have a point... but what is the “s” doing there? No, I think it is Edo Someone

lagdmark:
I beg make dem free Edo men and women joor after all Yorubas Igbos and Hausas are not Innocent.

Because Edo and foreign oloshoism go together like Zuma’s two index fingers

Lol. I think “Edo-somwan” is really “Edo-someone”. They just don’t want to make it too obvious

Happens all the time in marriages.

BTW the story is false - you can’t “overdose on crack and pass out”, simply impossible

Flows001:
I agree with you. People are different, what worked for student A may not work for student B. Op I think all what we need at d moment is a determined spirit and to set it as a priority, do anything it takes within ur power as a student, PLAN well, av sufficient rest and above all DRAW CLOSER TO GOD. Coz av heard stories of persons who after putting 100% in preparation, some silly mistakes deprived them of first class so, it all boils down to God Las Las. Good luck to us all!!

Suppose he doesn’t believe God has anything to do with it, and believes instead that it is up to him himself to be extra careful to avoid any “silly mistakes”. And if in the end he can’t avoid them, accept full responsibility and any consequences, acknowledging God had nothing to do with it. Which system do u think is better?

Are any special tips and patterns to follow that can guarantee a good grade, preferably a first class in law school.

baba, you no know anything.

No, u know nothing. U think 9ja’s reputation is from only Yahoo boys. I posted this:

That’s the mistake u r making - u r looking at TODAY when everyone is now into these things. For a long time ONLY Nigerians were into things like identity scams - they used to go to “school”. But u have to be a Nigerian to attend just as u have to be Italian to join mafia. These sophisticated scams and networks u see today took decades to develop.
Believe me, 9ja’s reputation took a very long time to earn and is WELL DESERVED

anonymous1759:
I laugh in Swahili. No need to explain further, do your own research on how BEC and credit card scam are being done. Like I said earlier use your head don't just assume what you see or hear on papers do extensive research.

Nigerians na learners for scam matter. We're not in any way close to Chinese, Russians, Brazilians etc for scam matter. We no just get sense that's all. Any idiot wey collect 700$ go spray hair change im name to wire wire.

See my post above. Also check out this my post:

https://www.nairaland.com/5554012/boris-johnson-accused-racial-stereotyping/2#84458549

China has six times the population of Nigeria. By proportion, 9ja has far more scammers. Also communist countries are by definition “group think”. Their sophisticated scams are either state-sponsored or have serious state backing. Very few of their Individuals are capable of the kind of scam described in that my post. Believe me, 9ja’s reputation took a long time to earn and is WELL DESERVED

an adage that says (a Rat that's inside the house gives the Rat in the Bush information that there's Meat inside the Pot) . Stop all this things you're seeing online in media Agencies all these foreign Agencies are like NTA over there their interest is to protect their image.

I saw a News about Scammers on NL the Nigerians involved in the crime pictures were displaced by the foreign security Agency.


but the American involved pictures were concealed.

Use your head there's no way I repeat there's no way an African will go another man country to perpetrate Fraud in millions of dollars without Internal collaborators that's FALLACY if you believe them.


We need complete News not just Nigerians we're not the only ones over 76 was arrested in the united states the world wanted to explode. Just last week over 1000 Chinese were arrested have you seen the news making headline lately? Imagine if it's a Nigeria case.

Lol... u just don’t understand what your country men are capable of and have perpetrated. There are over 200 countries in the world, believe me it is not by happenstance 9ja is regarded #1 in scamming. What u say cannot happen is exactly what happened - much of the west’s financial and credit system have always had holes that for some reason no other immigrant or native criminals ever took advantage of UNTIL Nigerians came along. U may find this hard to believe but Nigerians STARTED many of these now popular scams.

Yusman316:
And also remove all what most of the developed countries took from other countries, then tell us what's left? Any small thing people will scream Abach loot at the top of their voices, but never stopping to ask themselves how Abacha was able to have accounts across all the countries that imposed economic sanctions on his government. The countries were active collaborators in his looting

All the apps u r using, are they looted? How many are from Islamic countries? All the countless innovations, from smart phones to driverless cars, how many are from Islamic countries. But mention terrorist groups, guess who is #1?!

anonymous1759:
Is as a result of bad publicity of our youths, security agencies and media houses. How many Nigeria can be named after Scam and yet we're not no 1list in the act. That shows you the negative impact in washing our dirty linen outside.

Not quite. If only u knew the extent of what Nigerians have perpetrated. I bet u never saw this headline. There are thousands like it you’ve never seen:

Nigerian scammers are stealing BILLIONS of dollars

By Cleve R. Wootson Jr.

June 12, 2018 at 2:56 PM


The FBI said June 11 it made 74 arrests in connection with 419 Nigerian email scams. The Post's Cleve R. Wootson Jr. explains how these scams have managed to be so successful. (Allie Caren/The Washington Post)

Savvy people already know it’s a bad idea to trust an email from a Nigerian prince hoping to use their bank account to unload a dead relative’s vast wealth.

And they’re just as suspicious of the sudden Internet-based love interest with questionable grammar who needs a few thousand untraceable dollars to clear up a passport issue in time for a magical first date.

But in a sophisticated and terrifying evolution of the Nigerian 419 scam, web-savvy crime syndicates are figuring out ways to bilk U.S. citizens of billions.

On Monday, the FBI announced the arrest of 74 people across the world — including 29 people in Nigeria and 41 in the United States — who authorities say were part of complex international networks that combed filings by the Securities and Exchange Commission, spoofed CEO emails and successfully targeted even hardened employees whose jobs are to safeguard their companies from financial mismanagement.

The recent scams have the same DNA as the poorly worded emails that have been showing up in people’s inboxes since the 1990s. Instead of playing on hopes of finding love or lust for sudden wealth, they play on fears about missing a vital company payment or upsetting a boss’s boss.

“[Scammers] are doing their research … going onto company websites and looking for the right people,” FBI Assistant Director Scott Smith, who helped lead the investigation, told the Wall Street Journal. “They may even go as far as pulling annual reports and finding what companies they do business with and [impersonating] those accounts.”

Adeyemi Odufuye and his team, for example, sifted SEC records, company websites and other business documents, looking for the names and email addresses of chief executives, chief financial officers and controllers, court documents say.

Odufuye, who had a half dozen nicknames, including “Jefe,” the Spanish word for “chief” or “boss,” led a crew responsible for stealing $2.6 million, including $440,000 from one business in Connecticut, according to the Justice Department.

The schemes used a variety of tactics to gain people’s trust and steal their money, federal authorities say. They registered website domain names that were hard to distinguish from the companies they were targeting — impersonations meant to give emails an air of authenticity. Some of those emails arrived with malware attachments that would snap images of a victim’s desktop or transmit key log information — a hacker trick for nabbing someone’s password.

They even employed money mules whose sole purpose was to move the ill-gotten gains from account to account, authorities say, disguising the electronic paper trail from investigators.

Odufuye was extradited from Britain on Jan. 3. He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft.


The arrests highlighted just how many people are falling for the latest iterations of the Nigerian hustle, as well as the staggering losses American businesses are accruing. According to FBI figures obtained by the Journal, victims of such scams reported $275 million in losses in 2015. By 2017, reported losses had more than doubled, to $675 million. And in the first quarter of this year, more than 4,000 victims reported $685 million in losses. The bureau estimates American businesses have lost more than $3.7 billion as a result of the schemes.

Since January 2015, the FBI estimated last year, there has been a 1,300 percent increase in identified exposed losses from similar scams. On Monday, the FBI issued a public service announcement about the scams.

Last year, FBI Special Agent Martin Licciardo, an organized crime investigator, said such crimes are “a serious threat on a global scale. The ability of these criminal groups to compromise legitimate business email accounts is staggering. … They are experts at deception.”

Nigerian scammers target businesses of all sizes, sometimes spending months studying a company’s organizational chart, the FBI said. They target people who frequently transfer large amounts of money and sensitive records in the course of business. They impersonate executives, human relations staff, law firms and trusted vendors. They usually insist that whatever bogus issue they’ve raised be cleared up as soon as possible, often by an immediate wire transfer. Discretion is often advised.

anonymous1759:
I don't blame them. we Africans wash our dirty linens outside. Sometimes when I see what our youths post about Nigeria on line it's Heart Breaking. Go to Efcc page on Twitter all you see there is yahoo boys. They're disgracing their ancestors like all the bad people reside in Nigeria.

Go the FBI page on Twitter you Barely see pictures of criminal there it's not like they're not working but they protect their image.

Over 1000 Chinese youths were arrested in Malaysia few days ago have you heard about the News? When 87 Nigeria were arrested in the USA it was making headlines with the help of useless agency and youths who hate Nigeria.

Nigeria is not the best Country and neither the worst. We ain't patriotic at all. We think selling out the country will make us appear like angels but we're shooting ourselves on the leg.

Believe me Nigerians didn’t get a “reputation” by accident. Nigeria is the only country with a scam named after her. It’s even in the dictionary. Look up “Nigerian scam”. No other country has that distinction

Makes it sound as if all Islamic Nations are backward.

How many Islamic nations are Centuries behind the west?

Let's check out figures...

Seriously, all of them if u remove oil

what on Earth is supposed to make a man get attracted to a fellow man whose body is as hard as wood just like his own body when there are so many beautiful ladies out there going from prayer Mountains to crusades searching and praying for husbands , this is a pure case of demonic possession

With due respect, that’s a stupid question - what attracts a girl to a man with a body as hard as wood??

Rafwealth:
Interesting write up, thanks a million. The Yoruba demons in the house, hope you are taking note... Lol

Must u tribalise everything? Ok, tell us how this applies particularly to “Yoruba demons”

@OP human relationships and feelings cannot be neatly labeled and categorized like that - real life is never that neat

Accept you are beautiful the way you are.

Of course u should accept u are beautiful the way u r. But this is not about u. It is about other people and what they see. It is about the fact that u have compete for scarce resources with others. Nature could have made it so that every mr. right is born with his ms. right, since it is such a primary need. But it didn’t - u have to go out and compete and sometimes what gives u a foot in the door is a lighter skin (for blacks) or darker skin (for whites).

BTW in that song’s lyrics (below), the girl is made to feel unpretty and wants to revenge by making that person feel unpretty too. Don’t let anyone make u feel unpretty but skso give yourself competitive advantage:


Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm bein' stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy?
Maybe get rid of you
And then I'll get back to me, yeah

You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up
That M.A.C. can make,
But if you can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in the position that make me feel
So damn unpretty

I'll make you feel unpretty too

My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Look into the mirror, who's inside there

The one with the long hair
I was told I was beautiful

But what does that mean to you?
Wish I could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
