About time. I personally think his Double CD album - All Eyez on me - should be catalogued, and use as a presentation to welcome Aliens when they come to earth. It is THAT good.

WTF is this nucca ranting about? Anyone actually following his post?

The question is that if Nigerian medical doctors are really medics. I mean anyone can diagnose and inject for Malaria, Typhoid and dysentery/cholera all the time.

Erm, not sure if it is mentioned already, but interspecies sex rarely results in pregnancy.

For all we know, the kid [baby goat] may have had birth defects of some kind.

Bump! It will be evil to let this thread die without a comment from the Iranian huggers.

Please keep it up there for "them" to see.

I have no problem with it apart from the increase in VAT. Damn. That 3d tv is gonna hurt my wallet lol.

sweetguy10:
This issue of juju , myths and other stuffs in some way is real and in some way is not real . How will you explain the magun ( thunderbolt - if that's the english meaning , dunno) case that happened in my area ?(the man crowed thrice after sleeping with his neighbour's wife and died on spot) some of these things are real and most of it is unreal . Some how and some way things has been manipulated that the fraudulent people took over . I am not the type that believe in those traditional shits as well but with some experience all i do is pray not to get mixed with any spiritual problems . I mean problems that money won't solve,  I'm always saying this prayer every morning .

There is no single proof that these things are real. It is all trickery, playing on people's fear and beliefs etc. How come none of these realness have yet to be capture on video for us all to see?

I have heard of people claiming they "saw" such incident, but when you actually get to the bottom of it, they are just relaying third rate information, and did not actually witness the incident as it happens. Also, when they see something, they automatically fit around it what have been drilled into their subconscious.  Take for example, how the heck do did police in ilorin held a goat in the station, believing it was a thief? The bottom line is that the thief out-witted the police and escaped, but I guess it makes them look less of a fool if they claim he turned into a goat?

I'm a yoruba boy and i've seen things that still remain mysterious till today . How will you explain the case where two men were fighting then the older man slapped the younger guy with a ring he immediately went paralyzed , what's the scientific explanation to that ?

Basic science, there are some points on your body that if you get hit with the right velocity and technique, you will blackout. Fact. Fighting techniques such as Kray Manga and some martial arts uses this as a basis for self defence and to spring surprise attacks. Even forces around the world use them as it is effective in dealing with a target.

Ok how about this ? grandmom told me about this particular war that occurred between the Federal soldiers and the natives in Abeaokuta(Ogun adubi ) the natives vacated their village and went into the bush while the entrance to their village was placed under some kinda weird curse that kills ever military man that tries to enter it (imaginary cutlass hacking them to pieces) though the natives move about freely , what will dear Elrazur and his apostles say about this ?

Bullshittt. Stories from generation to generation have been shown to be inaccurate, and hence why they become myths, and such myths become legends. Ever ask yourself, why such event is yet to happen again?

There are many more live experience , Juju surely works and exist but it's potent power has been manipulated by the money hungered people . About the religion stuff ? Hmmmm dont know what to say about that after reading Angels and Demons , The Davinci code (though it's genuineness has been questioned and some facts has been declared Unreal) I am still working on unravelling some Juju actually .

No juju do not work. There is no single proof that they do.


If you argue otherwise, I will voodoo-curse your family.


































My last sentence will only upset you if you believe in such non-sense. Simply put, I am playing on your belief and using it against you. Same thing those voodoo people do. Allahuakbar.

AjanleKoko:
Be patient. You know the gods are slow. They may get to you yet.

I come from a Clan where Oogun is worshipped you see, and as such, as they say in yoruba, you cannot make a sacrifice unto the Gods, using the Sons of the Gods.

The point is once you understand the concept and ideas behind the dos and don't surrounding this myths. It all becomes something you can use to your advantage. Take for example the river that is consider sacred in my village. Back then, it was the only source of Drinking water and as such throwing lines into it is not seen as a healthy option. In order words, the invention of "do not fish in here because the spirit lives in it" is nothing but a ploy to keep the river clean and prevent the use of worms, bait and other stuff from going in there.

I can give you a few more examples if you want. Heck, it is this sort of beliefs that lead to some religion proclaiming certain animals as being unclean.

~Sauron~:
U lie. . . . . .
Sango was a winger in his days.

He was a warrior, hunter and very power-hungry according to local legends. Heck he was a womaniser too.

All these things you just mentioned is as petty as they come.On top of that it's easy to sit behind your pc lyk so many peeps here  & act all tough (thnx to the internet) when in all honesty,you're all hollow on the inside.

I'v never had any rzn to go fetish,i don't bliv in its efficacy,nonetheless,i wont be foolhardy & say to myself 'let me give it a try'.

Richy Black claims he is a firm xtian,& his siggy says somthin abt principalities & powers.What are these powers & wat are they capable of?Talk abt tongue in cheek argument.

Wish i cld stay up & follow up the rejoinders but alas i'v got bills to pay.

You are a muppet. If I haven't done it, I won't say I have.

I was close to the Voodoo man in my Dad's family growing up, I know a thing or two about what am talking about.

There is nothing to be tough about etc. See my post above.

AjanleKoko:
@Kobojunkie,
Let me help you a bit.
Those stats are generally calculated based on enrolment in formal education up to a particular level, usually between Elementary School, or the first three years of post-secondary education, depending on who's doing the study.

Proof? Either you post a link or just stop. Kai.

cold:
A lot of folks here bliv juju is fraud.Fine but i bet you if you were told in some remote part of Ijebu that 'cross this line maq i see weda you go wake up tomoro',nobody wld dare cross for fear of the unknown.My point;i don't take issues bordering on juju seriously but then again neither i nor anyone else here wld want to test the waters with both feet.

Same rzn you wldn't jump into a lion's lair lyk the proverbial Daniel based on your firm belief in God.

Omo speak for yourself.

I have fished from a rvier that is considered as sacred in my village.

I have kept Okete (Big white giant rats) as pets. Apparently, it can bring bad luck and untimely death etc.

I have put my feet on the stone representing God of Iron - and am still alive.

I have looked into and dance in front of the mirror when it is raining

ETC.

These so called "do not do this or this will happen to you" means poo to me.

~Sauron~:
Bang & Olufsen speakers.

Lwkmd.

No jokes, but I very much doubt it. The village no fit afford tarred road back then sha lol.

~Bluetooth:
everything about juju is fraud.see this picture,i thought they said masquerades are spiritual being

YOu don crase. The egun in lagos and around the cities are just fakes. Period.

In my Village, there is this thing called "Babanigbo" (Man in the bush), now that one na proper mystery I plan on solving. He dwells in the bushes, and when he is around, no one goes into these bushes. The weird thing is that when he screams, you can feel it reverberating all around.

Assuming, it is a man behind it, I am not sure how he can make such a noise that appears to fill the entire forest. I plan on going home and finding out at some point.

It may be worth knowing that those who apparently tried before died in mysterious circumstances, I for once cannot wait. Infra red cameras and surveillance camera should reveal who is behind it all.

Ajanlekoko

Them no get nepa problem.

I am not sure if it is GDP or the other one, can't remember. The one that measures the income in relation to population and development. Anyone know what the heck am on about?

ActiveMan:
OMODE O MO OGUN O PE NI EFON ( A SMALL CHILD DOES NOT NOT JUJU HE CALLS IT MOSQUITOES).
AND ALSO YOU DONT BELIEVE THEIR IS GOD?

Shataaaapppp! It is actually "Omode o mo ogun, ohun pe ni efo" (Efo as in vegetables, and not efon)





While we are speaking of voodoo, can anyone confirm is "Touch and Bleep" actually works? Basically, it is a ring that is sold by voodoo men, and once a man puts it on, he will shag any woman he touches with it.



Is this true?

AjanleKoko:
Malaysia, yes. Ghana . . . don't make me laugh, mate.
Ghana is not 'developed', not by a long stretch. You can't even compare South Africa to Malaysia in terms of output, let alone Ghana.

Huh? Erm okay, I have a feeling Ghana must be since they have more basic amenities in place than us, I guess they must be because they have a higher GDP, I guess they must be because they are still in the world cup.

I guess all the old Yoruba folks who can read the Bible in their language are all 'illiterate'. Even Crowther was 'illiterate'.

Bad example, Samuel Ajayi Crowther is not one. After all, he translated the Bible from English to Yoruba. You will need a high level of literacy to pull off such a feat.

RichyBlacK:
Can you point to me one claim made by a Christian or Muslim outside of faith that defies logic?

I don't understand.

Jesus walking on water is something that defies logic. Muhammed sleeping with a minor and his followers still doing the same defies logic don't you think?

Or maybe I am not understanding your point.

AjanleKoko:
68% literacy is hardly high illiteracy.
It means, in layman terms, 32% of a 150m population are illiterate. Hardly a national catastrophe, considering that Incredible India is at 59% literacy (almost half of Indians are illiterate).

We're not doing great. But we also are not doing that badly. Hardly a national emergency yet. We are, after all, a developing country.

Are you kidding me? 68% is considered a B+/A- when grading paper. How can that not be high?

Another example is this, if 68% of Nigerians are killed in ethnic cleansing, I wonder if that will be high enough for you?

My problem here is that, instead of us focusing on Nigeria, we are forever trying to compare with others. This is counter productive, because we get the false sense of security that we ain't doing too bad, when evidence suggest that we are.

Malaysia and Ghana all got their independence in the same decade as us. Malaysia is way developed than us, and so is Ghana. Using the term "developing nation" to sugar coat it or soften the blow won't work with me. The thing wey no good, no get another name, but no good.

SEFAGO:
jesus does not exist lol. He is a figment of your imagination.

Are you telling me Santa is not real? Or Spiderman do not exist? Mind you, I saw him climb walls, so it must be true.

manmustwac:
he could have been walking on strategically placed stones  in the sea  

It cannot be, it was in inside the banks of the river iirc.

RichyBlacK:
Unlike, Christianity or Islam, juju is not based on faith, but on magical claims that defy both logic and the natural laws.

Oga, they are all form of beliefs. Refer back to the examples of similarities I gave to Bluetooth. Don't forget that voodoo have all types and sub types attached to it. Focusing on the magical part, may not be a true representation.


By the way, Muhammed shagging a 9 year old defies logic and natural law.

FL Gators:
kobojunkie will not kill me

I love Kobo.

AjanleKoko:
No need to get hysterical, folks.

The funny thing about statistics, it depends on who's looking


Comparatively, I think we're not doing badly in Africa.

Yes data can be interpreted in several ways, but no matter how much you try to put a spin on this particular one, one thing keeps coming up, there is high illiteracy in Nigeria. That one na the koko wey we suppose focus on.

Richy, how do you explain Jesus walking on water?

FL Gators:
THANK YOU JARE!!!!


All these ppl are just being patriotic. Them think say their villgae begins and ends with the global world.

How can they be patriotic, when these sort of actions have kept us from developing?

I mean, we go about thinking we are the "Giant of Africa" and we are "amongst the best in the world".  .   .   .   . yet when we are cut down to size like we saw in the world cup, these same people end up looking for something else to blame, instead of dealing with the fundamental issues we have.

My point? Be patriotic, but at least engage common sense.

~Bluetooth:
they are two different things only if you are atheist

That's a bit weak and wuruwuru to the answer. Try explaining or something.

Most forms of belief subscribe to a higher God of some kind. Even Satanist do too.

Your Pastor claims to pray to the almighty God through Jesus. Your voodoo man calls on all type of sub-gods, demons etc to act as a Gateway etc.

Your Pastor reads from the Bible and prays. Your voodoo man recites incarnations and spells.


You get the picture. There is really no difference between an Iman, Voodoo man and Woli. They are all conning people.

@Bluetooth

It is an oxymoron to believe in God and not believe in Juju, or as l like to call it, African Voodo Science.

Both beliefs are similar if not the same - The belief in imaginary things to make the life of people/things etc better or bad. Depending on how you look at it.

I don't see the big deal. Both are important. One is designed to cater for theory approach, and one is more a hands-on and less theory approach. Both are as important as one another.

If I am an employer, your qualification means poo to me if you cannot do the job. But I guess, with naija, it is all about names, appellations, honours and what not.

Negro nuts lol. You are crazy.

~Bluetooth:
nothing good comes out of juju.it is not meant for progress but backwardness eg curses.

You are missing the point I think. There isn't juju, just the same way there is no God.


@Richy
Wetin amuse me nah the need to "pray" by our players after every match. I wonder, if they had put more effort for there training and tactics whether for for don go far?

Oh speaking of the world cup, anyone notice how our players over the years have these two traditions/ritual - Placing right arm across the chest during national anthem, and then jumping up or clapping once the anthem is over.


Finally, may I turn this debate on its head by saying. Nigeria's last progress in terms of football technicality was under Clemens Westerhoff. There is no way, someone like Baba Rashidi Yekini, Amoakachi and co would not have buried the open chance Yakubu (Fatkubu lol) missed. Bloody hell, that was from 5 yards!

Mcrystals meets Obama. Meeting lasted 30 mins. Mccrystal resigns. Obama accepted.

Your topic is very misleading, i thought Iran has fired some nice missiles into Nigeria

Israelis wont allow such abomination I'm afraid. Remember, there are Igbos who claims to be the lost Jews or something. Israel will quickly retaliate on iran. lol.
