"one thing that was common among the victims was that they all acted like mad people"

Not full blown madness. And why couldn't doctors diagnose those cases as madness but were completely helplessThey were even the ones that referred them to 'dibias'

Science cant explain everything. How can science explain someone's hand turning into the claws of a lion for a brief second.
Mehn I saw some crazy stuff up in Nasarawa sotey men dey fear straff... imagining doing it and you just hear the voice

lol

proficienc:
I also remember similar experience from my time in nasarawa during NYSC. You'd see someone esp girl playing normally one minute before you know it, she would just fall on the ground and you'd be hearing funny voices. The said person would have the power of 4-5 people.
Before I saw this with my own eyes, I never believe in such thing.

My bro, tho I have witnessed countless such cases, I still find it hard to believe there are no possible scientific causes perhaps not yet discovered. That is why medical practitioners failed to treat those cases.

This is rubbish!!!
Simply create employment opportunities that can get many youths employed. What is #5,000 going to Solve for an average guy?

Tho i don't have paid employment for now, I make more than 60k every month. And some lazy people are happy that government wants to give them 5k per month. Money that's not even up to what I use to drink beer in one outing. Smh

I'll like to start this thread by saying that I am the kind of guy who doesn't believe in the existence of spirits or demons. The whole idea of spiritualism just sound too abstract to me. Since I grew up, I have been seeking to find the truth about spirits but my efforts have not yielded the desired result as I have not been able to come face to face with any spiritual being.

However, growing up as a child in my small village, some events occurred and still occurs which are pointers to the possible existence of the spirit world. Any Igbo person on this forum would have heard about the "ogbanje" spirits and I am have personally witnessed countless cases of alleged "ogbanje" attacks.

Some died in the episodes while many were able to dig up their own wherever they buried it and got delivered from the spirits.

One of my older sis was a victim of the supposed "ogbanje" attacks. As a young girl, she once had a very frightening encounter. She was coming back from school one fateful day and the moment she got to a small river in my village, she was allegedly attacked and became really sick. She was taken to a hospital in my village but the doctor could not find a cause for her illness. In fact, after carrying out medical examinations on her, the doctor was the one that even suggested to my mum to look for solution to her illness by the traditional means. My sis was so sick that a day came when she almost passed out. She was convulsing seriously and my mom had to rush her to UNTH and after spending many days there, she was discharged yet the sickness did not completely go. She was still always complaining about some strange and unseen people gathering around her whenever she was alone. She could go to the toilet this minute and the next minute she would run into the house crying about those same unseen people gathering and threatening her. This episode continued until a time my mom decided to look for solution through the traditional way. So she visited a "dibia" in my area who narrated the the "genesis" of the problem and proffered a solution to it. My mother followed the "dibia's" instructions and made all the sacrifices prescribed. My sister was lucky as she became well again immediately after the sacrifices were made.

However, my cousin sister was not lucky in her own case as she died of her own supposedly "ogbanje" encounter. She was living with her brother in the northern part of the country when the whole thing started. The day she left her brother's house, nobody knew about her movement. Before then she was always in the habit of talking to herself and laughing alone with no known body around her. She got home and very pretty and with no physical sign that she was sick of any scientifically known illness. Just always talking and laughing at some supposedly invisible people.
Her brother had to leave his business in the north and came down to the village in search of her. She was taken to the hospital where no known medical condition was found as the cause of her illness. In about 2 weeks, she died.

Growing up, I witnessed so many similar supposedly "ogbanje" cases and one thing that was common among the victims was that they all acted like mad people. My mom even witnessed a case where the lady physically dug up her own "ogbanje", after so much pleas and sacrifices.
Thinking of these cases somehow want to change my unbelief in the existence of the "spirits" that is why I am writing this post for nairalanders to share their experiences and opinions so that I can learn from them to have a better understanding.

Thanks in advance.

If it does make you happy, keep it going. One does not need to be told that you're just another clueless mumu

your daftness has no rival.

mistypiper:
They can't stop , GEJ brought this upon Nigerians. If the fool has acted like a true President we won't be here typing RIP, some fools expect buhari to come on and do miracle. I won't blame him (GEJ) because he was just lucky to get there.


Clueless fellow and for those of you quoting me, I don't see any sense you've made but you can try again.

You are a clear description of whom a fo0l is!

Hypocritical Nigerians won't let this guy be!
Why are we always talking about going to church as if those that go to church are better than those that don't

RileyFreeman1:
That's what I'm saying, its just sad. What company is that? Atleast they even had the guts to give you a reason for the delay. Nestle just blanked me out!!!

Go to Nestle head office at ilupeju and find out for yourself if you still stand a chance. If you are outside Lagos you can send someone.

dondo83:
saraki and dogora are Christians?

Dogara....Yes, Saraki...Not sure

I guess Lasun was supported to clinch the deputy speakership position on religious consideration, since Dogara is a christian.

Nothing like coup against PDP like this article is suggesting.

I am happy that gbaja lost!

Obodo999:
Congratulation to Mr Saraki for being elected as No 3 in the country.
Pity he is still under the so called "mere" Commissioner Yemi Osinbajo

Senate president is more powerful than vice president.

Sorry ooo, this is not being tribal but I thought only igbos like money as they are always accused.
How come there's no Emeka or Nkechi among the culprits


Temper justice with mercy sha.l

Demdem:
What pain? Nahhhh, i only stated what its obvious by seeing the world acclaimed cursed man. Afterall, i didnt open this thread did i?

You are obviously in pain, bro.

YAKUBU DOGARA is the ideal candidate for the speakership of the house of reps. Gbajabiamila is too controversial and will only divide the house.

Said Dogara!

Safe trip, my dear President!

You still remain my President!

May God almighty continue to bless and keep you for us. Amen!

Safe trip, my dear President!

He still looks daft.

You are still in pain even when your slavemaster has been voted to office

Poor you!

mama Piss built mansions and hotels everywhere in Nigeria and abroad. U did not die
Gej was stealing from the Nation Reserve account before the governors came to conclusion that the money should be shared. U did not die
GEJ awarded a contract of $9b for cooking stoves. U still did not die
GEJ spent N2.2 trilion in his campaign. U did not die

My brother why die now?

At least these people you mentioned never lied to Nigerians that they were saints.

Buhari is a fraud!!!

What a useless president we have got

Buhari is a miserable goat!

No blueprint.. No plans..No signs of readiness to lead.

Buhari has failed from start!

What a brainless 1diat we have as president.

Smh

It's not about me oo , but about the poor Nigerian masses that will suffer from Buhari's ineptitude.

As for me and my ' beautiful Onyinye', we go dey flex our life dey go ooooo

Exactly!! He is inept. He lacks the capacity to lead Nigeria.

Imagine! Perambulating the whole world when the country is on fire


OLD FOOL.

redgem:
Give Mr President some space please....

I never for one day supported him but it was just a week ago he was sworn in...let him breath for at least 5mins, he is also a human being

Most people here on Nl if we should give you 20years to rule Nigeria, I can bet that you can't solve quarter of the problems in Nigeria.

Allow him for sometime he can't solve all problems at once cos he is not God...all he needs are you supports and prayers.

Why are you talking trash! Were you not there when Buhari promised to end bokoharam in less than one month This is the second week and he has not even made serious appointments to show he is serious.

Buhari is a very big disappointment to Nigerians

Dogara is the ideal candidate for the speakership of the house of reps.

Gbajabiamila is too controversial for that position. He will only be creating so many chaos in the house.

A word is enough for the wise.

A VERY reliable source confirmed that nestle is calling in batches. Most of the people that are being called are those that did their interviews before may, or perhaps those that applied to regions where there is CRITICAL need. All hope is not lost my people.
