Baba became quiet as the investigation was about to start, he paid homages to his deities, said some prayers.

He mentioned the name of the specific oracle that he would be consulting, ask specific question obvious to all of us in the room and tell the oracle that if he was telling a lie let the leaves be still, but if he was saying the truth let the leaves moves apart.

Note: He stacked the leaves in opposite direction some facing him my neighbour held on to that, the rest facing my neighbour Baba held on to those. The investigation went like this:

Baba: Olu ( name of oracle) there are ten people in this room if yes stay( they'll try to pull the leaves apart) the leaves didn't move, we were three all male.

Baba : Olu, we all wearing agbada(none of us wore) the leaves refused to move

Olu there are two men and a woman in this room, the leaves refused after pulling

Olu there are three men in this room, the leaves moved

Baba now told my neighbour to stand for me to take his seat, I eagerly switched places, I was ready to tear the leaves apart, Baba now told my neighbour and myself that the reason he wanted me to try was that I won't have the notion that whom ever was picked during the investigation was not predetermined by my neighbour due to some rancour or underlying resentment between them.

He requested for the paper containing the names, and we started

Baba: Olu , kemi stole the money

Tried as I wished to pull these leaves, for where? I dragged and dragged, nibo!

Baba: Olu , dele stole the money

Same thing, I pulled nothing the leaves didn't move an inch

I kept trying but baba continued asking Olu as he read from the list

Then we got to a different name

Baba: Olu, john stole the money.

With the littlest of effort the leaves slid apart as if they were greased with oil. The doors of my mouth were flung apart. Baba continued with his mission with relative equanimity.

We continued till we exhausted the names on the list and never but once at the mention of John's name did those mysterious leaves moved.

We got to our destination, the house was clean well painted and paved, I followed closely behind my neighbour, he announced our presence, calling the patron of the abode.

In a moment we were ushered into a small room by an old man in his early seventies, I guess. After due salutation and introduction, and offering of drinks and kolanut which I gracefully rejected.

My neighbour proceeded to narrate to Baba what happened yesterday, and why he took up the matter so seriously (long story), he told Baba he wanted to know who stole the cleaner's money and from his breastpocket produced the names of every living thing in our compound, neatly written on paper.

Baba stood up, went to a corner of the room, the floor of that portion was not tiled, just natural earth I believe, he sat on a stool beckoned on us to come to sit on the stools directly opposite him, so we sat facing him.

He picked some leaves( similar to those used to wrap pounded yam and eko) from the floor.
He picked up to ten, some dry others still fresh, he piled the leaves together, took a needle from the floor impaled the leaves, placed a flat metal the size of kitchen spatula ( orogun) across the leaves, all the while doing this, he was joked with us about Buhari economics, seeing we are lagosians (woke people)

This thread is not created to support the efficacy of Juju or demystify its potency, rather, it is to share an experience.

Choose the side of the divide that suits you.

On a certain morning, I was an enthusiastic sojourner in my neighbour's car on a very long journey, we were travelling to the east of Lagos state, our destination a town within southwestern Nigeria.

We needed to confirm certain truths about an incident in the house we occupied, both of us rented two of the flats (we became acquainted in the house) in our compound of four flats and boys quarters

A day prior to our travel, in what could be described as a story pulled out of Arthur Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series, the compound was in turmoil.

The woman that sweeps our compound has just been paid her monthly salary, she took it from the designated 'chief tenant'.

In her sobbing words, she kept it in her bag, dropped the bag near the borehole pump, when she came back from gossiping with the seamstress occupying one of the rooms in the boy's quarters, her duly earned money was nowhere to be found.

It was a typical Saturday morning, everybody was at home, teenagers were playing while running errands, kids were being kids, just a typical noisy weekend.

Accusing fingers were pointed, parents defended their children, buried hatchets were unearthed, people cursed and swore. The peace we once enjoyed vanish, the atmosphere became sore.

Are the marks long and thick, like facial tribal marks on faces of 'lucky' Yoruba people?

If yes, then your girl is definitely from Ondo City in Ondo State. Those particular marks belong to a group of family called 'Otunba/Jomu' who in ancient times were affiliated with the Osemawe of Ondo, his majesty the King.

The marks are drawn on the right side of their descendants chest either male or female.

In case the mark differs from what is described above, I have no knowledge on what it could be.

Southerners are the most useless humans in Nigeria, listen to arguments against the collection of VAT by states they are spearheaded by this set of politically correct, pseudo intellectual fools.

How many northerners came out to speak against the PIB when it clearly favors them? None.

Our white collar fools down here blurt out rubbish only to the detriment of their region, they're only alive to the corruption of their fellow southerners, they shame their leaders while the North protect theirs own.

Bunch of Bastards.

Be obedient to spiritual warnings.

You see those strange people that come across your way be it mad folks, white garment pastors, Alfas, in short those that come to give you any warning.

Please I beg you in whatever you believe in, even if you're an atheist, please learn to listen and obey.

I'm always amazed and at the same amused with the brazen hypocrisies of this so called 'northerners'

No where in this sentimental write up did the CNG mentioned the murderous excitements, atrocities and tendencies of herdsmen all over the middle belt and southern region, which bears the coloring of ethnic cleansing and genocidal attacks.

Lest I forget these Arewa groups I want to believe are not stupid enough to think the Yorubas or other ethnic group in the southern part of the country asides the Ibo would continue to uphold the geographical mishap Nigeria when the Ibo depart.

Are the arguments based on the figures or symbols in the first picture?

The symbol before the figures £N might mean Nigerian Pounds

Why is no one talking about the facts presented in the second pic

You should be ashamed of yourself for calling Ipob/ESN terrorists; for a group of people fighting to secure their lands and lives from the assault launched by raging Fulani herdsmen pampered by the Nigerian police and army.

I sympathize with Ipob/ESN for standing and fighting against the useless security architecture that are willing tools wielded by the leprous hands of the uncivilized barbarians called Fulanis.

Men like Ikonso died a greater man than the useless idiots called governors we have in the south whose major concern is the security of the lives and wealth of their loved ones.

Years ago I used to banter IBO's due to their unguarded insults against Yorubas on nairaland but I'll support anything they'd do to repel the menace of so-called Fulani hegemony. A fight for survival is fight we must all join hands.

May Ogun ambush all southern governors and leaders who over the years have watched uncircumcised animals bully them with threat of war.

In Yoruba it's called eye etu.

Alfa can I've a private chat with you?

Empiree:
Seriously, so many irrelevant things can only make sense if only they paid attention to real issues. The whole thing is not balance. Their so called Sharia law is controlled by politicians the same way constitution is controlled by the
House.

So many things are lacking. Politicians have to control the law because they know the consequences of law being equally and justly applied. It would affect them greatly, that's why.

This means there is no patriotism in the land from SW SE and North. They are all the same. Laws are implemented by greedy elites.

How do we end up having imbeciles in our midst?

I skimmed through the pile of horseshit the half baked commentator scribbled, it was filled with lies, false conjectures, crippled assumptions and reasoning.

May Ogun sever his barren hands from his shoulders.
