I've already explained the underlying science briefly. If I go deeper, you and your ilk won't understand it since you're not in that line. So, there's no point.

Nairaland isn't a scientific community where person go dey post equations and mathematical models to explain things.
LOL. This is typical you being evasive. Existential questions aren't limited to any field. And it's pretty presumptuous of you to posit that the folks here aren't scientifically-inclined because of their belief system.

Adeboye has a PhD in Mathematics - a professorship actually, which you haven't attained . One of the guys here majored in Mathematics. There are engineers on this board. Data scientists and techies too whose life work revolves around science and its applicable concepts. But somehow you assume you know better than them.


When in fact, the real truth is, you don't have the explanations for everything. While some of us can humbly admit it - there's no shame in admitting you have no answer for every poser in life, you'd rather ride on your fantasy horse into egoland.

Most healings ascribed to miracles are placebo. Some are as a result of lifestyle changes. Or the body healing itself.

I have a belief that once I am feverish, all I need do is take a cold bath, sweat it out while I sleep, and bathe again, and it'd be over. No need for dosaged medications. There's nothing supernatural about it. It's worked for me for years. Yet I've heard people testify about it at religious and social gatherings.

That's you. Everyone has their own gifts or callings. Some people were born to explain such feats. All these things you mentioned are simply physical manifestations of exotic energy or exotic matter.

Exotic matter or energies are special matter/energies, not the everyday matter we're familiar with. In the same vein, there are special numbers, which are not the everyday numbers (such as natural numbers, integers, real numbers complex numbers) we're familiar with.

Examples of such special numbers are quaternions (Hamilton's numbers) and octonions (Cayley's numbers). Exotic matter/energy is like that, too.

In my culture, Isese practitioners often use such to do one rite or the other. But they don't know some science underlie whay they're doing.

Such exotic matter or energy has mysterious properties when it interacts with normal matter (the everyday matter we're familiar with), and these properties are often regarded as juju or supernatural by many.

But those that know the underlying science don't see it as such. If I attend any local festival, I observe how the magicians use such exotic matter/energy to manipulate the perception of their audience and dazzle them.

Those ones will think they're looking at juju. But it's all science. And soon, many won't some of these things as juju any longer when the science underlying them becomes popular.
Your postulations are all seemingly thought-provoking, but wouldn't the easier explanation have been you explaining in detail the scientific phenomena and concepts behind causing a shallow still pond begin to fast-whirl at the center in a vortex when it isn't windy and making it stop when they choose to?

That's the explanation we'd like to read from you since you have all the answers for these things.

You and I have broken innocent women's hearts, knowingly or unknowingly. Our pictures are definitely online. Why aren't we dead, or drunks sleeping in gutters, or suddenly ailing?

We've heard of women threatening to curse out their erstwhile lovers in the dead of the night naked, so if we've have likely offended such women, how come we aren't dead or ailing?

I know what I saw and it was real enough to shake my cynicism. The exact phenomena behind it is what I don't know. But I know those who made what I saw happen are the same people I described as the custodians of my tribe's theology. How they did it is arguable, but they did it. I saw what I saw.

Looking back having watched several videos of magic tricks bursted on youtube, I believe that particular performance was a magic trick designed specifically for entertainment purposes & the custodian of the tricks are guding it jealously. Why? Because the day people know the trick, hunger go finish them.
That's why I stated in my first post to you that what you saw in the video is nothing compared to the real thing practised. There's nothing in the video but amusement.
Masquerades are tricks. Even the feared Ekpo masquerade is a trick, including the blood-cuddling sound it makes. I know I've seen them dress up a few years ago when I went visiting.
The fire-spitting ones are tricks too.

The more intriguing ones include causing a fast-whirling vortex in the middle of hitherto still shallow pond without stepping into the water body. There's no way I analysed what I saw and could come up with a physical law which explained it. No, it wasn't windy.

A001:
Those things you call juju are purely physical. I can't go into too much details here. But certain laws of nature, which are mathematical, govern them.
Juju is a form of religious rite. I don't believe in its efficacy on me, but those who believe in its efficacy have their reasons which I can't dispute.

You call it programming, some call it conjuring, the Ibibios call it "ibok', the Yorubas call it " Ogun"... It all points to metaphysics - beyond-physical, advanced-physical... Or whatever term you'd tag it.

For me, Juju is just a practice.

Don't deceive yourself or let anyone deceive you. The matrix we call reality was designed and engineered by certain people (worshipped as different gods and goddesses around the world) using certain codes (certain math, physics, and the likes) the same way engineers design and code machines today.

And planet Earth is governed by physical laws. If you don't know many of such laws, that's when you'll see phenomena above your understanding as juju, voodoo, supernatural, which will make you prone to scams.

There's nothing like juju in a physical realm like Earth. Everything here is physical.

About the designer you mentioned, if you want to know the designer in your own culture, that's the chief god or major gods/goddesses worshipped there by the pagans.

And those ones have also their own designers as well.

Each culture has its own designers. It's all advanced programming the gods (higher beings) do.
You are unwittingly agreeing with me. The fact that you agree there's an intelligent designer or designers to the universe is proof that we live in a metaphysical or beyond-physical world.

My lack of believe in its personal efficacy doesn't negate what others believe. I don't believe in tithes or first fruits practised in Christianity but if it works for them - IF, good for them. Far be it from DissTróy to ridicule their personal experiences as long as they don't force it on me.

I believe in the concept of God, experienced without the bottleneck of organised religions, knowing well enough that God in this term means "supreme intelligent designer of the universe in whatever form it exists" which even the most atheistic of scientists agree to.

How will people enjoy stable power supply, good health facilities, good roads, and other basic amenities as we've in many parts of the West, China and the likes when natural phenomena and happenings are seen as juju, voodoo, supernatural?

Such mentality keeps a people in darkness and underdeveloped.
Like I stated, I'm more of a skeptic and cynic for most parts. Even an Atheist for years before becoming a Deist.

But I've seen the Uruan people in their elements. I have nothing to benefit from painting a subgroup as still very much in touch with their native fetishisms vis-à-vis practising Christians. If anything, I have set them up for possible 'dragging' and labeling. It's not even a bad thing from the perspective of those against Abrahamic religions.

Still, the truth is the truth, and it's harsh sometimes. We live in a metaphysical world. We have no explanation for everything. There are many phenomena science can't explain till date. Heck! Scientists even dismiss their own varying theories - hypotheses actually - of how the universe came to be, but they agree there's an intelligent deliberate design to the universe.
And deliberate intelligent design is proof of an intelligent designer or designers. A designer is a creator. 0.5 x 1 = 1/2 .

I've seen things which shake my cynicism and skepticism. You have too. Including the viewing public.

I've been with three. Very beautiful good females. Treated me well. I was the asshóle who drifted away. At least I know I have no health complications or nightmares so maybe that's the answer about acting on their heartbreak with purported fetishisms.

BlueRayDick:
Omo! And here I was thinking most of the "stunts" in the video are just well rehearsed stunts like some masquerade and cultural stunts
KingTom knows the fetishisms of the Efiks very well. Even as fetish as they are, the Obong of Calabar must go pay homage to the Uruans of Akwa Ibom. All the rites and everything for cleansing. Same with high-ranking titled Efik men.

Even Donald Duke has to go pay homage regularly. He did so as Governor too.

An atheist's stance would be put to test when he encounters the Uruans in their elements.
----
But on the flipside, the most Ibibio of cuisines are best prepared by the Uruans. Hilda Baci can't tie the culinary stiletto straps of a typical 17-year-old Uruan girl raised by an Uruan mother. I'd say the females make the best lovers too, from my experience.

Dis.stroy what’s going on here ? Do u have an idea of this culture in Akwa Ibom ?

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1mQVgHqGbe/?igsh=MXhlYzhycWhoY2R3aA==
That's the Uruan people, a subgroup of Ibibio, and the main stock of the Efik people of Cross River.

The Ibibio have five subgroups: The Annangs (Northern) , Central Ibibios where I am from (Southern and Eastern), Western Ibibio, Riverine Ibibio (Uruan and Efik).

The people you see in the video are the Uruan subgroup who are the direct ancestors of the Efiks of Calabar and other parts of Cross River, and they are seen as the custodians of Ibibio theology. So the scariest of juju practises, the Ekpe cult which birthed the Nsibidi form of writing, and other such fetishisms are still very much practised there while the Central Ibibios have mostly been 'Christianised' since they were the base when the Europeans arrived.

Whatever you see in that video is nothing compared to the actual thing practised. If you ever doubt the occult, supernatural, and juju, the Uruans would clear your doubt. And this is coming from me, a skeptic and cynic of such things.

Icrave4u:
Its worst with Nigerian and ghanian women. They tax you for everything there no longer about love!
Use the quantifying description "most" or "some".

Women would always want to get what they can from men until you set a standard about not wanting to be exploited and wanting gifts in return. And insist on it.

Even the lady who's good to you, stops trying to leech on you, and is there because she really cares about you actually does leech on and extort from other men she can gaslight into giving her - her relatives and male acquaintances.

Women would be women and you can't really change that, but just ensure you're not the man they are exploiting, leeching on, and disrespecting. As long as I ensure this, other men have to save themselves.

The game is always on. Your job is to ensure you're not the one getting played.

This is why I'm against couples who's marriages are flourishing...and they come to social media to rub their happiness on the faces of vile, angry, hateful, frustrated, poverty riddled beings.

If you want to enjoy your marriage, keep it away from social media.
If you want to enjoy your romantic relationships,marriage, familial relationships, or other kind of personal relationships, keep them off social media. It's a rule I adhere to generally

The timeline doesn't need to know who I am sleeping with, what she did with me, or what we have been up to. Untag yourself from these persons' posts when they tag you on social media too.
And if we drift apart, the timeline doesn't need to know too.

The best relationships flourish away from public scrutiny. I barely ever post such on my WhatsApp status which is limited to close contacts. Best way to avoid personal scandals and controversies on social media.

Family › Re: Why Do Rich People Prefer Helping Outside To Helping Their Relatives? It's Commo by DissTroy(m): 1:28pm On Dec 29, 2023
While a lot of rich folks do that, a lot of relatives are entitled. Very entitled.

You'd find relatives with no sustainable commercialisable skills who think it their right to demand money from highly-placed relatives. And they keep coming back. Popular examples are Mikel Obi and Osimhen, and the unpalatable experiences they had with their relatives.

The exception would be a relative who is skilled and of good character.

Plus familiarity breeds contempt. The extended family relationship and connection is a dicey one to navigate. Competition and decade-long grudges you thought had been squashed.

Some years ago, I got to know about a certain Commissioner relative of mine who low-key bears malice because a certain pretty female chose to date my dad over him from decades ago when they were fresh out of high school. Second cousins both are.
He said it casually in passing at an extended family gathering while we all laughed over it, but I could sense a slight resentment in the way he said it. Wealth and position hadn't erased it so if I was ever to be in need of his help and I was ignorant of that grudge, I'd have kept wondering why he rebuffed me.

Thankfully, I never needed to go to him for anything, even when he wants me to draw close.

This plays out in many families.

There are so many reasons why rich folks don't help relatives.

Please stop generalizing based on gender. There are very many good women out there with good and lovable characters. (Your mum and sister hopefully). And there are terrible "manipulative women who put their interests first".

Just like you have good men with good characters and personalities and then violent and terrible men who proudly calls his fellow human beings cannibals, beasts and corpse eaters. Stop generalizing based on gender. It's truly a primitive way of viewing things.
Here:

DissTroy:
A few exceptions do not negate the validity of a rule or theory.

Our women have commercialised even the most basic of intergender interactions which aren't intimate or romantic, as something as commonplace as constant interactions is seen as an opportunity to fleece or extort. Even casual male friends are extorted from or fleeced, not to mention men they are in sexual and/or romantic relationships with.

Have I experienced good women? Yes. Have I been with or still with relatively selfless ones? Yes. Still, my experience, just like the example posted by the OP, doesn't negate the more common experiences of most Nigerian men.
And here in response to Joe:

DissTroy:
I think a man should spend and protect a woman who has proven her worth and shown herself to be kind.

I see men - some from the SE - toil all year and don't look it but their wives look good. You'd hear men brag like, "The way to know I have money is by looking at my wife". She embodies your wealth but you don't look it?

She doesn't get you gifts or care for you. You have to pay for everything? Even I tell women at first intimacy that I like being spoiled with gifts and taken care of. It scares some away while some remain. That's pruning.

If I have #100, ma'am, I'm not giving you #80. Not even #50. Until I am sure there's a certain #200 on the way. I won't put myself in harm for you.

I'm not making myself uncomfortable when I am ill to please you like Akeredolu. We both know, the kids are more under your spell than mine so you are leading them on like Emeka Ike's.

I won't even be with her if she's the type to sit back. Joe, women have money to spend and care as long as you set a standard they must adhere to.

The only female I got a gift this Christmas is the one who consistently has been caring and spoilt me. She even reciprocated with a gift. Others who didn't get me something for Christmas got nothing from me. NOTHING. I even told one bluntly who came visiting and asked for a gift hours ago.

Most men didn't get any Christmas gifts from women but they they have spent money getting gifts for the same leeches. Putting yourself first sometimes means self-respect and dignity.

Women look out for themselves first by default. Study how women think and follow them accordingly. Men should put themselves first.

Today's woman has evolved to be more selfish. Today's man must learn to evolve to make himself a priority.
