TemplarLandry: You can't downplay the spiritual always. The greatest trick the devil plays is make people disbelieve the supernatural, I for one will never fall for that trick.
Which spiritual and which supernatural How old are you now? Since you were born, how many spiritual and supernatural beings or things have you genuinely seen/witnessed and can swear for??
That's an innocent cat, abeg. Where i live, cats sometimes follow me around and even all the way to my room, and i like it Nigerians should throw away these yeye superstitious beliefs
Shuu? What will i not understand? Me wey understand white man's calculus finish?
You guys just believed in the rubbish that's being passed around by some other ignorant fellows, not because you have been able to verify it by yourself
malaria: It's not physical. Let's say you open a business, it flourishes beyound understanding but then you always have to renew your sacrifices.
Which one is 'It's not physical'? If the business flourishes, won't the manifestation be physical in terms of money? Where would the influx of money come from? People's money would disappear and fly to the person who did the juju, or people will flood the person's shop to buy what they didn't plan to buy? How many times have you been under a spell to buy what you didn't plan to buy?
You guys should stop spreading things that don't hold water
EmmyMaestro: Those that have experience should come and tell us
Don't mind Nigerians and their yeye superstitious beliefs. There's no such thing as money rituals It's just pure ignorance and myth.
Next thing now, they'll tell you you won't understand, even when they themselves don't understand anything.
The reality is that if there were money coming from the spiritual world, they would bear serial numbers the CBN didn't issue and there would be excess money in circulation. These 2 would attract the attention of the CBN, which would then raise alarms Till date, the CBN hasn't raised any alarm despite this money ritual stuffs being in vogue since the late '70s/early '80s. The myth was just popularized by the Nollywood and Nigerians ignorantly swallowed it
Jman06: The doctors contribute to the problem of poor healthcare in their own way. Healthcare is a team work but most Nigerian doctors don't see it as such. Doctors are meant to work with other healthcare professionals like Pharmacists, laboratory scientists, radiographers etc to deliver quality healthcare but what they do especially in their private hospitals is to employ quacks who know nothing about healthcare to man these other strategic departments. They do that in order to maximize profits at the expense of quality healthcare delivery.
Like I said before, once the purpose of healthcare is focused largely on money and profits, quality is bound to be compromised. Most people now even prefer to go to pharmacies because Pharmacists don't charge extra money for their consultations aside the cost of drugs, and you and I know that Pharmacists are well trained enough to administer the right medications to patients and some even perform better than some doctors. What is the need of going to the doctor and paying all the consultation fees when the doctor will eventually not render quality care?
Let Nigerian doctors learn to stop downplaying the importance of other healthcare professionals but work in harmony with them to deliver quality care! They don't know it all! Over the years, leadership of our healthcare institutions has been in the hands of medical doctors but nothing to show for it! Life expectancy has continued to fall year in year out..
So can you now see that many Nigerian doctors are contributing to the problem? To solve the problem, let Nigerian doctors emulate how healthcare services are delivered in the western world, shore up standards of practice and stop seeing other healthcare professionals as competitors but rather as teammates!
As for cost of care, let every Nigerian get enrolled into health insurance as being championed by NHIS. If this is done and the healthcare professionals work harmoniously, we should be able to achieve universal health coverage.
This must be one of those biased and sentimental persons in the allied healthcare services It'll be a waste of time arguing with such people.
pocohantas: It is not just nudes. It is actually video-sex-calls. They are all over social media claiming remote work. I make dollars chatting online with lonely white men. That is how they put it. Some collect N2000 to N5000 to teach unsuspecting ladies. Some ladies enter and back out when they see it is not what they expected. Some continue.
I don't know how anyone without skills would think it is easy to make dollar just like that.
Pacesetter123: Chai,the video is too scary to watch. Look at how he headbutt the lady before jacking her up and hit on concrete floor like firewood. You can't try that nonsense with my sister..ooo cos I can never do that with someone daughter when I marry no matter the level of provocation. Me and you will wear one leg of trouser together if you try that nonsense with my sis. If her mouth is too sharp for you to bear, bring her back to us.
This is so barbaric!!
Even when your sister clings to her husband, and nags him to kill her, abi you didn't understand what the woman was saying? Pray your sister doesn't become a nagging, quarrelsome woman in her matrimonial home. You will settle problems until you get frustrated and ashamed of her.
Is this not the mumu that has been supporting APC, a party of tribalism and religious bigotry, just because a useless Umahi decided to join the party? So, you didn't know the useless party you have been supporting is anti-Igbo, and the architect of tribalism and bigotry in Nigeria? Good morning to you, onye iberibe. Unfortunately, we still have so many misguided people like you in igboland
Glimpsetv: A Nigerian female content creator was filming along a road in the UK when traffic suddenly began to build up. Drivers and passersby paused to watch her, with some even stopping entirely to observe. Watch the funny video."
Jman06: Accurate diagnosis of diseases is the backbone of effective drug therapy. However, in Nigeria, the culture of blind treatment is the order of the day whereby doctors prescribe medications without thorough diagnosis of the condition first.
There is increasing cases of 'strange' diseases in the country, especially in the southeast where I currently reside. Such diseases are often tagged "strange" when doctors cannot properly diagnose them hence administer wrong treatments until the disease worsens and the patient dies eventually.
Many have died of heart diseases which doctors were busy treating as "ulcer" and administering all manner of medications and making a lot of money off the patients and their relatives. Some have died of kidney related problems while being treated of something else until their conditions got worse.
When cases like the above happen, people easily attribute them to 'spiritual' causes not knowing that the right treatment had not been prescribed due to wrong diagnosis.
We seriously need to step up the standards of our healthcare in this country. There's urgent need to restrict access to drugs until accurate diagnosis has been made and the exact cause of illness determined before drugs prescription can be made.
To do these, we need to implement the national drug distribution guidelines, close down open drug markets and ensure synergy between hospitals, medical laboratory and Pharmacies such that the doctors make diagnosis only after assessment of laboratory results and then write prescriptions for Pharmacists before drugs can be employed.
The current chaotic situation whereby anybody can just go over the counter and buy just any drug and wrongly treat different things from what the individual is suffering from is not helping our healthcare system at all..No wonder life expectancy keeps nosediving in Nigeria. What else do you think is the cause of the several under 50 obituaries we regularly see in our neighborhoods? People are simply dieing avoidable deaths due to improper diagnosis and wrong medications application.
Also, the quest for fast wealth is contributing to the deteriorating healthcare system in the country. Many doctors are just concerned about making quick and huge bucks off patients without administering the right treatments. To ensure sound public health, we need to treat healthcare not as any other business ventures where the focus is solely on profits. This same mentality is why there seem to be reluctance on the part of government to implement various laws aimed at controlling drug distribution and closing down open drug markets that make it easy for just anybody to have access to prescription drugs. We shouldn't continue to endanger public health on the excuse of some individuals making a living at the expense of other people's health and lives! We produce large number of doctors and healthcare professionals but this doesn't translate to improved healthcare delivery and longer life expectancy for our people. This is simply because we fail to maintain standards of practice either ignorantly or deliberately by those whose sole aim is just to make money without minding how public health is being affected!
We borrowed orthodox medical practice from the west, yet we don't want to improve on our practices by being thorough just like it is done in developed western nations. There's a reason why life expectancy is 80 plus in the developed societies while we are having abysmally low life expectancy here in Nigeria ( 52years for women and 48years for men). Even our prominent personalities like politicians, celebrities and business moguls hardly live to old age these days! We seriously need to improve on the quality and quantity of our healthcare as a nation!
To an average Nigerian, the doctor is responsible for all the poor health indices in Nigeria. You should first start by asking about the proportion of the sick Nigerian patients who get to the hospital. Majority of them patronize prayer houses, herbal homes/remedies and patent medicine dealers/pharmacy shops. Of the smaller proportion that eventually gets to the hospitals, how many can afford the cost of complete, standard investigations? Nigerians pay out of their pockets and that's a big impediment to standard healthcare provision. Healthcare is quite expensive and there's no country that can offer a standard care to her populace if they are to make out-of-pocket payment for the services. In most cases, people will want to know if the huge amounts they're paying for investigations will also cover for their treatments, and once the response is in the negative, they zoom off. You won't blame them because earnings are so poor in the country and aren't even enough for feeding, let alone for investigations they deem non-therapeutic.
This is not to mention the cultural and religious beliefs amongst Nigerians that interfere with care provisions. I have seen a Prof who had a leg ulcer and was sent for Duplex ultrasound, but he preferred instead to go to a herbalist, believing his problem was from a juju he stepped on. Such incidents are rife in Nigeria.
See, the causes of the healthcare problems in Nigeria is complex, and can't be simplified by just focusing on or blaming the doctors, who in most cases, don't even have the tools to work with.
A mutual friend (who was in the occult) was sleeping with his friend's (also an occultist) wife. The husband to this adulteress later died for reasons we all do not know. During the services leading to his burial, as his tradition demands, his body was placed in a room. His close pals and relatives were allowed to go in and pay their respects to him (the dead). All did, but when my mutual friend (who's been banging the deceased wife) went in, while still saying, 'Adieu', he got a hard freaking slap from the dead and without blinking an eye bait, he (the wife fu*cker) returned the slap.
According to my mutual friend, the slap he returned to the dead was a super reflex action. To him, failure to respond as such would have led to his own untimely death within seven days.
N.B.: There are other information I left out, sha. This happened in Kogi State. I don't believe the dead can act as such save for those whom were possessed or in the occult. The demons in them can still act. I've seen here on NL where Ghanaian corpses walked to their burial grave.
SKhanmi: Most young/over civilized/religion brainwashed folks nowadays just dismiss things they see as ceremonial without truly trying to find out the real concept behind it.
Burying a person with a machete is ceremonial but the old ones understand, didn’t the egyptians bury their pharaohs with stuff? They were stupid huh? I hope you know a human being can go to; be attacked and killed on the astral plane. And his body would die here in real life later.
I also hope you know that some people killed in mysterious circumstances do not move along to the next required plane, they stay around the earths plane, get possessed by stronger evil spirits, roaming/haunting known places sometimes for years until forced by higher powers. A spirit like that could wait for whoever killed him/her to die and deal with the person on the same plane because truly, Nothing concerns the dead with the living. There are ways but the consequences are dire.
Widen your knowledge horizons, delve beyond your local knowledge, the indians and whites have a lot of documented info on the spiritual plane if you can’t deign to dig into your own traditional history.
And I mentioned here on this forum years back. Freezing corpses, burying bodies in the ground are all foreign concepts introduced by mostly Christianity and are unnatural. If it must be done, there are some things to be performed first to prevent the spirit from being hijacked by forces and used to enter this realm ( those that die and are seen living in other places again), The best way is cremation(modern or old). This is a rabbit hole and the smart ones would dig into it to know why.
Maybe it would liberate some of you from the abrahamic religions that have not only stolen your very essence but also chained your souls in this life and even the next.
Forget these nonsensical talks These are all bullshit made up by ediots who think they know too much while, in reality, they're simply ignorant and superstitious.
bilms: Let's talk about the problem of unwillingness to work
The primary issue facing Nigeria today is the lack of willingness among young people to engage in any real, productive work outside of activities like phone usage or entertainment.
Last week, Kwara Must Change took an important step by selling our farm produce, specifically yam, at a discounted rate directly to the public. In just three days, 40,000 tubers of yam was sold out, first to the university community inside University of Ilorin, then to others from outside, including sellers from alapa market.
This was the product of months of hard work on our part.
Interestingly, some of those who bought the yams were from Alapa market, which is known as the primary yam market in Kwara State, where prices are typically lower. Despite this, some main sellers from the market wanted to buy up all of our stock at once, but we chose not to sell to them.
Instead, we opted to make these goods available to consumers, small-scale buyers and sellers at reduced prices, ensuring fair access.
In planning our journey into agriculture, we faced a major obstacle, which is the lack of willing workers among the Nigerian youth.
Even in rural areas, finding young people ready to work on farms is rare. Despite high youth unemployment, there’s an equally high unwillingness to engage in serious, productive labor.
Many young people prefer activities such as rent-seeking, begging, or other unproductive means of making a living.
Due to this shortage of willing local labor, many farmers are turning to workers from neighboring countries like Togo and Benin Republic.
These foreign workers are deducted, reliable and typically engaged year-round and earn between N700,000 and N1 million annually.
In addition to this income, they receive food, shelter, and other daily essentials provided by the farm owner.
Their entire payment is saved and given to them in bulk at the end of the year.
To put this into perspective, with Nigeria’s minimum wage set at N30,000 per month last year, these workers’ annual income equates to approximately N65,000 per month.
Moreover, they incur no costs for food, transportation, or housing, as these are covered by the farm.
Over five years period, they can save around N4 million, enabling them to start a business or support their families upon returning home.
This situation is a call to action for young Nigerians to reevaluate their priorities.
With a shift in mindset, we can begin to harness the true potential of our youthful population. We need to embrace hard work and look toward productive ventures like agriculture that offer not only income but also long-term stability.
As young people in Nigeria, it’s time to step up and build a sustainable future.
You guys should do well to mechanize the farming The traditional methods make it look unattractive to the youths
From the name he chose answer in a public forum, you should know that all is not quite well with him Some people in this forum may actually be those absconded patients at our Psychiatric hospitals
His body was returned to his hometown. Because he was believed to be attacked spiritually by unknown enemies. Yoruba call them Aye (world) and their potent tool is Ofa (invisible Arrow)
So he wasn't taken to the morgue. His brothers, nephews and male cousins laid him on a bed in his old room. Cleaned and dressed him up in his favorite dress. Then I was summoned as one of his two boys and his last child.
I witnessed them putting a matchet that was wrapped with red linen in his hand and chanting incantations that he shouldnt slumber, he must find his killers and cut them down.
I was maybe 9 but I know that they were just being poetic and dramatic, that is personification of a corpse. A dead man can not use a matchet. Only a living person would. If a spiritual world exists I doubt if he would need a matchete to bring anybody down. I believed that they were confused but they were very serious.
When he was being buried. These same relatives were there and a reverend was officiating and they were reciting the bible passages and singing hymns that he should rest and praying and saying Amen.
The reverend probably didn't know that there was a matchete in the coffin.
It's amazing how Nigerians(if not all Africans) believe their fellow humans have some spiritual/supernatural powers to kill others remotely
No one has such powers and anyone who manages to possess a little of it will rule this world and have all of us, including the politicians, at his beck and call
Acidosis: On the day my late wife was to be buried, just about a week after she passed, I went to the morgue with siblings, friends, and relatives. The mortician asked for someone to come and identify her body, which was already dressed for the lying-in-state, before she would be handed over to us. I jumped forward to do it without thinking because I had missed her. Everyone tried to stop me, but I insisted. When I went in, I saw her lying there as if asleep, dressed in a gown I had brought the day before. But she didn't fully look like the same woman I used to know. Reason is because she never slept on her back in that 'position.' The woman I knew would never sleep like because she loved "gum body" so much.
I can’t fully explain how I felt seeing her like that tbh. I didn’t feel the need to cry, crying was the least thing in my mind, maybe because I had already cried my heart out especially on the night she passed or because I had concluded in my heart that “nothing dey this life.” I went numb and maybe d u m b. No tears, no thoughts, nothing. I was just looking at her, but I was too shocked to fully process her condition.
Days, weeks, and even months have passed. There are still moments when I feel deeply sad and withdrawn, only to come out acting like I’m fine, but one thing that has remained consistent is how I feel about life now. I also have a deep sense of respect for people who take their relationship with God very seriously. It may be the only thing worth living for (by relationship with God, I do not mean idolising pastors or jumping from one prayer programme to another). I may have to write about this some other time.
May her soul RIP But I thought there was a supernatural experience you had that you wanted to tell us about, having said earlier that spirits did exist?
Fiscus105: I like to hear from my fellow guy/men, why they always fume and showing resentment, whenever they hear/ read this clause. " TREAT YOUR TREAT YOUR WIFE THE WAY YOU WANT YOUR SON-IN- LAWS TO TREAT YOUR OWN DAUGHTER.
.....they say they want just society and beautiful marriage, but they would only be happy, wen you only talk down on women but keep mute on man, even if it's obvious that it's the man that goes wrong.
How is it possible, wen you treat wife like rags and expected to be treated like king in retu Some would say they cherish to sleep with uncountable girls, yet would still be the one advocating for Virgin as a bride.
Where is correlation and logic in that school of thought?
Your yeye thread makes it look like men are always the problem. It's like you haven't been around in Nigeria to notice that women are responsible for most of the marital problems in the country This thread will only encourage them to persevere in the path of stupidity and arrogance they've already chosen.
And with the way you champion women issues, I'm sure you're a woman who decided to parade herself as a man. If you're a man, that would be very unfortunate, because you would be the greatest simp that ever lived.
IPOB is a secessionist group fighting to leave your uselessly run country because of injustice, and I'm happy they recognise the need to fight against such injustice.
Islamic terrorists/jihadists are a group of devilish people massacring innocent humans and destroying property due to their warped religious ideologies that preach hate and intolerance. I'm sure that, despite you being their member, you're not proud of such a people
Gbam! Those woke ediots supporting terrorists should go to the middle east or northern Nigeria and live. Unfortunately, in reality, they can't accept to live a day with those jihadists and terrorists. Bloody ignorant and misguided folks
Love800: If am bitten by a poisonous snake, how can i revive myself, so i will not die?
You quickly apply a tourniquet with a piece of your cloth above the site where you were bitten. Wash the site with water, if available Quickly head to the nearest hospital for anti-venom, if the snake is suspected to be venomous
