Lolzzzzz 🤣

Are they the cause of the insecurity in their region?

Even soyinka that pioneered secret cultism in university debunkd the spread and metamorphosis of the scourge to other areas of the society

Professor Wole Soyinka did NOT pioneer any secret gang (WRONGLY called secret cult) on campus in Nigeria. Can you stop this misinformation YOU and others are spreading online and offline about the respected 1986 Nobel laureate Professor Wole Soyinka?! Let me educate you as an older man here who witnessed specific events decades back with accurate history.

The highly respected Professor Wole Soyinka was a member of the respected "Pyrates Fraternity" founded in the 1950s when he was a student at University of Ibadan. Wole Soyinka was NOT the ONLY founder of Pyrates Fraternity BUT he was a co-founder with a few of his fellow students who were about 7 or 8 in number. Why you people keep mentioning Wole Soyinka alone as the founder confounds me because the TRUE history of that peaceful organization called "Pyrates Fraternity" is still out there online and offline. Wole Soyinka and his group were well known to the University of Ibadan authorities and students at that time till he left the school and they were NEVER criminals but an elite student fraternity just like what you have on Havard University or Yale University campuses. Bill Gates was a member of Chi Psi while he was a student at University of Washington in the United States.

Fraternities are for males and sororities are for females and they are legitimate, influential student groups open for membership to brilliant students on most major University campuses all over the world in the United States, Canada, Germany, UK, etc. Many American Presidents and top business moguls (both male and female) have been members of fraternities such as Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Chi Psi.

I remember that it was in the early 1980s (over 30 years after the now 90-year-old Professor Wole Soyinka had long left University of Ibadan) during the brutal military dictatorships that campus criminal GANGS (NOT "campus cults" like they are WRONGLY termed in Nigeria) STARTED gradually manifesting and from the 1990s they grew worse and in order to earn respect, they started trying to hide and copy the organizational structure of legitimate campus fraternities to earn respect from the University authorities BUT these illegal campus gangs are criminals OR PSEUDO-FRATERNITIES and NOT the same as LEGITIMATE campus fraternities that Bill Gates, Professor Wole Soyinka, former Presidents George Bush Sr. and George Bush Jr, Vice President Kamala Harris, several respected CEOs, lawyers, engineers, and more belonged to while on campus.

Do more research on "campus fraternities" via Google and get properly educated. We live in a world where desperately notorious hungry bloggers and YouTubers spread FAKE news about others online without verifications. Do NOT join ignorant people and ethnic bigots in spreading misleading information about a respected internationalist and Nobel laureate called Prof. Wole Soyinka. Ensure you educate others too.

Hope this helps.

Wow this I bow to my elders 95 I wasn't born yet,good old days I guess,I am planning on putting it up on YouTube and I'll let you know when I did that,beside I did Videos titled
Kano like never before!, Kaduna First impression! Jigawa a New world! before I left for my studies,they are all there in my YouTube.

The insecurity bedevilling the Northern region is so unfortunate,it was indeed a sad situation for us in general we are hopeful that this pace will pass and the north will experience relative peace in all it's region and the entire country as a whole.

Thanks for the details explanation.
@malfah remains my name

@itzzkhaliii

That's an impressive feedback. I assume you're from the North West based off of the fact that Kano, Kaduna, and Jigawa featured in your past videos. I'll search YT for your videos later in the day. States in Northern Nigeria can be nearly like (and even match) modern UAE, Turkey, Egypt, Qarar, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, etc, with high standards of living and education if you younger Northerners who are based in the Diaspora and in Nigeria bring in creative innovations by using technology to "disrupt" the existing old systems and solve problems in various communities, BUT peace is also paramount for development. You don't need to reinvent the wheel because countries such as India, Turkey and China have in the past done it by solving the same kinds of problems African countries have in their own countries. Just copy what they did and use technologies to scale up in your local environment. Some Northerners are already doing it with a young guy from Borno who is building electric solar cars as we speak. Northern Nigeria is NOT bereft of world-class, intelligent people like Jelani Aliyu who is originally from Sokoto (Sakwato) and he was the Chief Designer at the automobile maker "Ford" in the United States. There is also a brilliant Plateau State guy called Jerry Isaac Mallo who owns Bennie Technologies and Bennie Agro and he makes agribusiness equipment while he has also built a newer sports car named Bennie Sternum as of 2024 which is the first ever in Nigeria. I write all these to motivate you the younger Northern blood because if Northern Nigeria is stunted due to poverty and lack of modern education, the rest of Nigeria will be dragged down the economic and social indices from the United Nations agencies. But for me, I see massive positivity in the entire North of Nigeria because of the raw, fertile energy of the people and huge tracts of lands with mineral resources.

Watch the videos of the 2024 Bennie Sternum BELOW:

Indeed, credit MUST be given to the gallant Nigerian armed forces (Army, Airforce, Navy, etc) for defending Northern Nigeria so far otherwise those crazy insurgent jihadi groups with links to BH in the Lake Chad Basin and the notorious "JNIM" terror group operating in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Republic, would have overan the entire North East, North West and North Central of Nigeria by now just like more than HALF of Mali and Burkina Faso are now under the control of terrorist displacing over 2 million people in Burkina Faso alone since the military boys in those countries took over power and invited the Russians. The weaker countries (security and economic-wise) like Niger Republic, Mali, Burkina Faso, Chad, Cameroon, etc, surrounding Northern Nigeria are responsible for the bad situation in some states of North East and North West especially due to the porous border routes that have existed even before French and British colonial rule started over 140 years with the 1885 arbitrary partitioning of Africa on ordinary maps in Berlin, Germany.

To your first Question some are Sponsors why majority are private individuals.
The second of course we do,I personally reach out to three in order for them to participate,but due to personal reason they didn't.

But among the awardees,they are People from the Middle belt Ebira, The MC himself is From Middlebelt, Nupes as well,within the Organisers we have an Idoma and among the Audience all Nigerians are in attendance.

You can have a look of this video I made also Reflecting all the Tribes in Northern Nigeria.

https://vm.tiktok. com/ZMh3cbe6F/

That's very impressive... Ebiras, Nupes, Idomas, etc, ... And all Nigerians in the audience are in attendance.

Unfortunately, I don't have TikTok installed on all my mobile devices but I use Instagram and other productivity apps. Is this video on TikTok also posted on IG by you?

I've visited Kaduna, Jos, Niger, Kano, etc, in the past especially in the 1980s and 1990s and they are cool places. But for the insecurities and insurgencies affecting the entire Sahelian regions of West African from Mali (where over half of that country is under the capture of JNIM and the other 3 jihadi terror groups), Niger Republic, Northern Cote D'Ivoire, Northern Burkina Faso (where over half of Burkina Faso is now under the control of the JNIM terror group with their headquarters in Mali), parts of Northern Benin, Northern Nigeria, Chad and Northern Cameroon around the Lake Chad Basin, the North of Nigeria has strong economic potentials. I hope you guys will come back home and contribute your knowledge to continue to develop your areas despite the relatively tough terrains in the North West, North Central and North East of Nigeria.

The last time I visited Northern Nigeria was in 1995 and that was to Kano in Kano State. I hope to tour Kano anytime I fly into Nigeria again from Lagos because a lot of fantastic infrastructural developments have taken place there as seen on the Internet.

I traveled outside the country for 8 months now while my family is in Nigeria.

Now I will be returning to Nigeria next week. For this 7 months, I kept myself and did not mess around(slept) with any woman.

However, it's not that I don't trust my wife, but atimes I have an instincts that she may not hold herself like I did and may have fallen in hands of men.

Where I come from, it's an abomination for any married woman to sleep with another man because of the dare consequences it has on the husband of the adulterous woman.

Now I'm coming back soonest,I'm scared if she has slept with another man and I was suggesting before sleeping with her to sit her down and ask her to sincerely tell me if she has fallen in my absence,so that necessary things(cleansing) can be done before I sleep with her.

On the other hand, I'm reasoning whether asking her such will cause a misunderstanding in the marriage.

Please advise on the best way to go about this.

You MUST be from one of Edo or Delta States.

I heard that a married woman who sexually cheats on her husband will cause his untimely death due to a traditional oath of some sort.

Kid 'n Play
Dr. Dre
Tupac Amaru Shakur
Scarface
Ice-Cube
Vanilla Ice (The first major White rap artiste before the rise of Eminem).

UncleSnr:
American hip-hop legend, Snoop Dogg, has revealed his top three rappers of all time in a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel. When asked to name his personal picks, Snoop confidently placed himself alongside two other iconic figures in the rap game: Slick Rick and Ice Cube.

During the interview, Kimmel posed the question, “Who are your top three greatest rappers of all time?” Without hesitation, Snoop responded, “Slick Rick, Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg.”

Snoop’s list has generated a wave of reactions across social media platforms, with many fans expressing surprise and disappointment over the exclusion of other renowned hip-hop figures such as 2Pac, Biggie Smalls, Jay-Z, and Eminem. The discussion has sparked debates about what defines the “greatest” in hip-hop, with fans weighing in on the influence and contributions of the artists Snoop chose versus those who didn’t make the cut.

While Snoop Dogg’s selection is undeniably personal, it highlights the ongoing conversation about the evolution of hip-hop and the various artists who have shaped the genre. The debate continues to rage on, showcasing the deep passion fans have for their favorite rappers and the lasting impact of these musical legends on the culture.
https://mediatalkafrica.com/192201/snoop-dogg-names-his-top-three-rappers-of-all-time-sparking-debate/

It's Snoop's right of choice to select and deselect whoever he wants to make the top 3 rappers.

My OG Kool Moe Dee (whose iconic rap songs I FIRST started listening to in the 1980s even made a book list of his top 50 rappers of all-time and he left out the name of Mc Hammer! I personally rate Hammer among my top 10 all-time rappers because he was a bad ass entertainer who brought the dance groove into rap and hip-hop music.

As an OG who has started listening to rap music back in the 1980s, I will say that a list of the top 3 OR top 10, OR top 20 will be too limited to pick the top rappers of all-time! A top 30 would be great for covering up the mast important male and female rappers such as Queen Latifah and Mc Lite.

I'll post some of the evergreen rap video songs right BELOW.

juliuscaesar:
By your statement, I can tell you have never been to America and ALL the information you have digested about America comes from movies and what you see on social media. Crack/Cocaine/prescription pills have done more damage in white communities and populations than it has in black communities. If you go to rural America, I am talking about the backwoods of Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Kansas, south and north Carolina, Ohio, Georgia, where we have real rednecks and hillbillies, you will see the damage that crack has done to those communities.

The only reason you might think blacks are more affected is because blacks live in cities and it's easier to see what's going on in the cities. Most people do not go to the backwoods of America I earlier mentioned, especially if you are not from there. That's a side of America they don't show you. There are communities there that are inbreds. Fathers sleeping with daughters, cousins marrying each other, siblings having kids together etc. Educate yourself.

I'm just reading this page 2 for the FIRST time and thought it important to step right into the convo briefly.

The guy you quoted right on page 2 of this thread CLEARLY said: "Come to SOME African-American communities," so, he didn't explicitly say: "Come to ALL African-American communities." He wasn't denigrating ALL African-American communities and he NEVER suggested in his post that African-Americans ARE MORE affected by hard drugs addiction.

However, you are spot-on in the rest of your post about White-American folks in rural America or in states where you have majority White populations who are heavy drug addicts and rednecks.

It's even funny that some folks living outside the U.S. don't realize that extreme White poverty exists in the United States (and even South Africa as well) and this has gone on for decades. The Appalachian mountains region of the United States has a high rate of White poverty that outsiders who hype the economic successes of White folks don't even realize exists. Their living standards in that region are completely subsistence and I recall seeing a White couple being interviewed who had to postpone their visit to the dentist to have a tooth replacement because of lack of funds. When an opportunity for free dental treatments from a philanthropic organization suddenly came through, MANY of the residents jumped at the opportunity and had to create long queues in order to get dental checks and other medical treatments!

Nearly every ethnic community in the United States is affected by hard drugs usage and substance abuse to varying percentages, but Asian-Americans based on statistics are less likely to fall too deeply into that hard drugs trap because of their high education, sociocultural value system and work ethics.

Fury as new Miss Universe drops shocking racial slur on top of the Empire State Building

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14124381/Backlash-against-Miss-Universe-Victoria-Kj-r-Theilvig-viral-video-shows-using-N-word.html

This is a complete B.S. speculation.

She was singing the lyrics of Jay-Z's song that has the "Nigga" word... How is that even a racial slur on her part? Jay-Z was singing a "topical song," to pass a message.

The African-American English colloquial word "Nigga" with the letter "a" simply means a BUDDY or cool friend and it's NOT used with the same meaning as the word "Nigger" with the letters "er." A "White Nigga" simply means a White buddy OR friend.

NO doubt, that "N" word [which is derived from the Greek word "nigger" meaning "black"] is viewed as a racial slur when used by White folks which especially African-Americans and other immigrant groups of African descent find highly offensive BECAUSE of it's STRONG association with the sufferings and cruelties of plantation slavery, hence, a few Whites that used it to insult African-Americans got physically beaten up in public in recent times.

The fact is this: To avoid further confusions, African-American rappers and those on the street level MUST stop using the more recently coined "Nigga" word as part of the African-American urban hip-hop culture. "Nigga" and the originally demeaning slur "Nigger" are nearly similar in pronunciation. I personally DON'T refer to my African-American buddies or other American immigrants of African descent from the African continent OR the Caribbean as "Nigga" because it further perpetuates the usage of the more offensive "N" word that ends with the letters "er" by some racist and moronic White dudes. Period.

Car Talk › Re: Meet Jerry Mallo, Who Built Nigeria's First Supercar In Jos by Konquest: 10:19am On Nov 26, 2024

naptu2:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz5v-8hw_oU

Jerry Mallo was born in 1994 to Nigerian parents in Plateau State, Nigeria. He is the CEO of Bennie Technologies, Ltd. He built the country’s first locally manufactured carbon fibre sports car, the Bennie Purrie. According to Jerry Mallo, he was inspired to create the Bennie Purrie because Nigeria and Africa as a whole have a large market for luxury vehicles.

He is a fabrication engineer who became famous for building electricity generators, agricultural equipment and prototype cars. This attracted the attention of Professor Suleiman Elias Bogoro, who sponsored his education at the University of Hertfordshire. Although he did not graduate from the university, he had offers to work in the UK automobile industry, but chose to return to Nigeria to produce farm equipment because his parents were farmers and he wanted to change the way that people worked on the farm in Nigeria.

In a way he reminds me of Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini started out making tractors for agriculture. He became so rich that he could afford to buy expensive sportscars. He owned Ferraris, Mercedes Benz and Jaguar sportscars.

However, he constantly had clutch problems with his Ferraris. He would often have to take them back to the dealership for repairs. He brought the problems to the attention of Enzo Ferrari (the founder of Ferrari cars), but Enzo Ferrari dismissively asked him what he knew about cars and told him to stick to tractors.

Lamborghini took the car back to his own engineers and they were able to fix the problem and make the car better. That's how Ferruccio Lamborghini got the inspiration to make supercars.

Jerry Mallo makes most of his money from making agricultural and food processing machines. He builds tractors, harvesters, threshers and machines for processing garri, corn and other foodstuff. He builds sportscars on demand and as a side job.

Jerry Isaac Mallo... That's the true spirit of the "Plateau Boy."

While he did state that the Bennie supercars are produced on demand... There's a lot to be done in the agribusiness ecosystem, so, the larger focus MUST be on that. I saw an NL thread just yesterday where farmers in Taraba State complained that their unharvested beans and other crops were being harvested and stolen by farm thieves who no doubt reside within those communities.

Jerry and his Bennie Agro can look into creative ways of helping these small-holder farmers to solve these farm thefts by inventing cheaper, miniature drones or some other cheaper security devices for the use of those farmers in the farming communities. The domino effect on small-scale farming operations in several Nigerian communities will be HUGE with this kind of solution.

Carmartng:
The Toyota Camry didn’t make the list of top fuel-efficient cars starting from ₦2 million primarily because its fuel efficiency is not as high as some of the other cars listed. While the Camry is a highly reliable and popular choice, it typically features a larger engine, often in the 2.4L or 2.5L range, which consumes more fuel compared to smaller, more compact cars like the Toyota Yaris or Honda Civic. These smaller cars tend to have better fuel economy, often in the 13-16 km/l range, making them more suitable for drivers who prioritize saving on fuel costs.

Additionally, the starting price of a Toyota Camry, especially for newer or well-maintained models, is generally above ₦2 million. This puts it outside the budget range we focused on in this list, which was aimed at offering more affordable options for buyers looking to spend less initially while still enjoying good fuel efficiency.

So, while the Toyota Camry is an excellent car for those who value comfort, reliability, and performance, its higher fuel consumption and price point make it less competitive when compared to the other vehicles listed, which offer better mileage and fall within a more affordable price range.

Mysteriousworld:
In addition... What gingered me to travel and seek solution was this, I used to be fat, I then became very lean. Then a family member who lives abroad, had a dream about me, that he saw me, I was looking soooo lean and unkept, and I was under a tree, smoking and homeless, and my son was beside me looking unkept too....

Omo, that his dream is one of the things that changed my life o....

The dream scared me, because in real life I was lean, and he had no idea, but not homeless, I'm still making money (Apostle Joshua Selman is a blessing to my financial life), I should have finished building my house by now if not for money miss management due to drugs.
So I felt God was showing me my future if I don't stop drugs.... The dream made me desperate to get a solution(I love my son with my life, he mustn't know me to be a smoker, that will be a bad influence)... Apostle Selmans messages also played a great role, I knew that even though God has good plans for me, theres something called satan who is stealing from me, and in time will try to kill and destroy, as he comes to steal, kill and destroy...
ALL THE GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY, WHO CREATED IBOGA IN THE FIRST PLACE.

To buttress point on the guy that said will power....

I'll attach my chat with a friend now, he also has will power, but what I noticed about the will power is that sometimes people relapse.... It's not easy, with iboga, im not trying to try, no, it has restored my dopamine and serotonin to a perfect level....

You see, this my friend gave his life to christ and stopped smoking, so we weren't close again, I messaged him this morning, thinking we're now both none smokers, and can therefore be friends again, but unfortunately.... Smiles.... It's well, I'll attach our chat now, I realized there's a limit will power can go for most people(not all, some people have that grace).

And yes , those bringing drugs into the country are evil....

How I wish the govt can turn tinapa in Calabar to an iboga center for drug addiction, it will even bring in tourists to the country, as white people just plenty for Gabon villages.

I googled Apostle Selman and saw he's only 44 as of 2024 and originally from Zaria. I initially thought he's White since I've never heard of him.

Thank you for the screenshots and deep insights here. How did you measure your dopamine and serotonin levels? It's interesting too that in that other video you posted on the other thread, the White dude said Ibogaine can be used to treat Parkinson's.

Indeed, there comes a turning point in one's life that you end up feeling deeply disgusted with the situation around you. That's when you will begin to make the biggest positive moves in your life.

The Gabonese too have to be careful because I read that research is ongoing to see how the active ingredients in Iboga can be extracted in American research labs. They have to protect the biodiversity of their herbal plants such as the Iboga which is said to naturally grow mainly in Gabon. The wealth from Iboga has to be maximized or the benefit of all Gabonese.

Somebody right on page one or two said s/he planted yams and they neatly stole the yams and left the leaves intact. These thieves are mentally sick tbh.

Hard to believe. I suspect someone is creating the perfect excuse for not being able to repay CBN anchor borrower program loan.

That's another angle in criminal investigations, but from what I have gleaned so far here, others say thefts on farms are quite rampant in Taraba (and other states). Setting up vigilance groups who are regularly paid by the communities would help. But definitely, these cases of farm thefts are inside jobs. Period.

ABBEYsammy01:
This one na common practice for Taraba here o.
Same thing happened to me last year, after spraying my last pesticide, I waited at home for just one week for the beans to dry, I went back to farm only to discovered that these guys have harvested all my beans

I planted again this year, despite the fact that i gave my farm close marking, these guys still succeeded in removing more than half of my beans. It is well...

That's incredible! Twice within 2023 and 2024... Do these guys like beans so much for consumption? What's really responsible for triggering these thefts by the way?

Perhaps, you guys can make objects that look like "artificial juju" and keep them in visible locations on the farms (It's similar to using scarecrows to keep birds from invading and eating your crops). Maybe that would scare these bloody criminals away. How can honest folks like you be working hard to earn a living through farming and some idiots would come to neatly harvest the ripe crops? That's unkind tbh.

All the best.

ExAngel007:
One Danjuma Terima, from Taraba State has lamented after losing all the beans he planted on his farm to suspected produce thieves.

Danjuma, who disclosed this in a Facebook post on Monday, November 25, 2024, said he returned
from his mother's burial only to discover that thieves invaded his farm and harvested all the beans, leaving no single seed.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/12DyvVbe5hi/

Are these thieves indigenous to his community or are they outsiders? I've read and heard online that you can't try this on farms in parts of Edo State where metaphysical means are used to immobilize farm thieves OR in the Ilaje-Yoruba area of Ondo State where Ayelala can be invoked to make a thief confess or something to that effect.

But in any event, community vigilance groups can be set up to curb further thefts on farms in Taraba and elsewhere.

"The most important thing about quitting an addiction is will power."
Crackaholic

I do not use drugs ... therefore was never an addict.... but work in a community that had been ravished by drugs ... crack cocaine to be specific. I have to interact with everybody ... the crackheads...the dealers...the pimps ...and go to homes. After a while you can see how drugs really mess up a family ... and the community. My comment is based on my observations... some things I've learned from documentaries and research ... and from the streets ... the addicts and the sellers.

The quote from Crackaholic is exactly what I was told by the most notorious crackhead in the community ... she was always high .... as in high high... even her legs and arms were out of control ... all flailing. She disappeared for a while...thought she was dead. One day reminiscing with my work mate about the crackheads ... I mentioned her ..she was my favorite... only to be told she was now clean. I couldn't believe him .... She was by far the worse of the worst ..no one came close . He told me where she lived .. I realized I went there quite a few times but the person was kind of paranoid. After seeing her...I realized it was indeed her.... looking sober but can see the crack wasn't kind to the body. It took me more than two years to summon the courage to ask how she got off ... and we had an interesting conversation. She went to all the interventions and rehabs ... none worked for her...she hit the pipe soon after. She then said exactly what Crackaholic said one day she said to herself she had enough and made up her mind to stop. I asked ... " just like that?" ... and she said yes .... cold turkey ... and never went back. She is now a counselor at a drug rehab center. I know nobody can tell her they were worse off than her or she is just all theory. If In was asked to name one addict who can never be rehabilitated...it would've been her...hands down. I relate this to say to anyone in an addiction .... build that will power to break the shackles of addiction.

It is my wish that people educate themselves about addiction ... we will know better and avoid it .... and we can understand the addicted and be in a better position to help them. Crack is highly addictive... heroine is even worse.... don't ever try either.

P. S ....less than a week ago an addict who I knew in the community passed .... she jumped through a fourth floor window. There is no soft landing around here ... just concrete... hardened concrete. Three days ago... like 20 blocks away somebody else jumped through a window. I suspect they were high on Angel dust ... that makes people believe they can fly... but with sooo many new designer drugs out .... it may very well be a new one on the market ...or used to amp up the crack or whatever.

Check this out......see how one goes downhill. Gripping.

That's a "deep" submission you made here.

That Post Script (P.S.) section of your post made my jaw drop. People jumping out to their deaths from the 4th floor due to drug addiction! It reminds me of the horrendous events of 9/11 with tiny video images of some men and women jumping right out of the windows in the blazing World Trade Center.

Lola Fani-Kayode's digitally crisp award-winning "Mind Bending" (She's Nigeria's first female movie producer) TV series which was made in 1989 and broadcast on national television with it's stellar cast of Olu Jacobs, Joke Silva-Jacobs, and more really brought home the realities of drug addiction before my very eyes and enabled me to see the destruction by hard drugs to a person's entire being. The attached image BELOW of "The Corner" miniseries made me to remember that Lola Fani-Kayode's 1989 award-winning "Mind Bending" here.

I affirm that it's time for the world to collectively stop pussyfooting and apply the death penalty through lethal injections, electric chairs, and hangings for all drug barons, all cases of drug trafficking, and more. Enough of the destructions of the social fabric in many countries of the world due to political correctness. Some otherwise peaceful neighborhoods in the United States have almost emptied out because of relentless gun violence, pimping, teenage pregnancies and drug addictions. The regular folks have moved on to some other safer cities because they couldn't continue to raise their kids or stay in their former communities anymore.

Mysteriousworld:
Nice questions bro... First of all, the shamans understand English, most of their clients are from English speaking nations... And the Europeans and Americans made it expensive, as they pay in Euros and dollars.

I won't lie to you, I prayed very well for favour before going, I kept listening to Apostle Joshua Selmans message on "the grace called favour" , because there was every possibility that I would have wasted my transportation going and not being able to achieve anything,due to the high cost, I was indeed favoured, I've not even finished paying for what I bought, when I got back to Nigeria, the man called me, and I could sense, he was wondering if i used jazz for him, because they don't sell that cheap, neither do they sell on credit, so for the cost, it's was simply grace, I found favour in their eyes.

In terms of transportation, it's still grace, I went by road, not by air.... Very dangerous journey, I slept on the road, not hotel(didn't have money for hotel).

It was a foolish journey, but I held on to God's grace.... And favour.

Before I left Nigeria, I procrastinated for a whole week... And I said that's what makes a man a man... I naturally love adventures, so I brainwashed myself that I was embarking on an adventure...

A Nigerian (aboki) at the Cameroon Gabon bother played a great role in helping me locate the particular farmer I bought from.

@mysteriousworld

I appreciate your feedback here. Indeed I observed that the Gabonese guide who took Drew Binsky to the Iboga woman in the vid I posted here has a good command of English.
I would suggest that you preserve some of your Iboga for any of your future use though since it's a bit expensive. It was already vibrationally programmed for you to get a final solution to your addiction and it gladens me to read here that you went to Gabon and found favours through the Northern Hausa guy who guided you to get what you wanted in Gabon. I was worried when I read an article last year about FAKE Iboga being sold because just like you said, the Europeans and Americans are rushing to buy it.

The young gentleman on whose NL thread I first saw your posts today unfortunately rejected your Iboga offer because he indicated he doesn't have enough money to spend but he is mistaken by NOT trying it out. He is indeed an educated guy though and I will try to bring his attention to that Iboga again so he can try it out. Will power which he is emphasizing on is part of the equation, BUT that alone is NOT enough. I actually emphatized with him over his experience and hope he gets well and moves on with his life.

I have always advocated for the death penalty
through the electric chairs, lethal injections, or hangings to deal with these criminals drug barons and drug traffickers from Nigeria because they are destroying the fabric of society with the sharp increases in violent armed robberies, rapes and domestic violence due to hard drugs intakes.

Just in 2023 again, another drug barons was arrested in the elite Victoria Garden City estate in Ajah area of Lekki Peninsula. He (just like the more than 20 drug barons from Anambra State claiming to be millionaire traders at Alaba International and elsewhere that had been arrested for over 20 years now by the NDLEA for producing methamphetamine in illegal labs in many housing estates in Lagos, Ogun, Asaba, Nnewi, Ozubulu, Obosi, Ihiala, etc) was arrested in his VGC mansion where the illegal laboratory was discovered. The NDLEA had to issue a STRONG warning to the Victoria Garden City estate residents especially within 500 meters of the criminal's mansion NOT to use the underground water from their boreholes again because of underground water contamination from the HIGHLY toxic cancer-causing toxic waste products from the methamphetamine laboratory which they usually pour and bury right into the ground. The Federal Government of Nigeria has already seized the VGC mansion from that criminal though and he has been sentenced to jail time along with his accomplices who sold the methamphetamine made in that VGC estate mansion around areas in Lagos State and for export. Aside from the VGC estate arrest, Satellite Town, Ajao Estate, Iba New Site, Ibeju-Lekki are other areas where these criminal drug barons from different areas in Anambra claiming to be millionaire Alaba International Market traders have been arrested by the NDLEA over the last 20 years for producing methamphetamine in illegal laboratories in Lagos State alone!

Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, etc, that are advanced economies are NOT stupid for using death penalties to control the criminal drug trafficking because they know it would have destroyed the social fabric of their countries.

Food morning everyone

I want to personally use this medium to thank the mods that helped push this my post to front page. Honest I didn't expect it.
I am grateful for all the contributions, encouragements, prayers and also the negative feedbacks.

I'm preparing to head to my work place this morning but by noon I'll write a detailed post of how my addiction started fully and also details on every drug I've tested and why I got addicted to crack alone.
It's gonna be very educative.

Y'all keep dropping your contributions and questions.
I'll do well to respond.

Also please note that I have to go to work early because I work in a radio station as an IT personnel. And I'm working hard to pay up my debts and live a fully free life.

Indeed, you have @dominique to thank for that. She was on this thread and as a Supermod, she definitely pushed this realtime newsworthy experience of yours to the NL frontpage for wider viewing.

The thread has been impressive so far with a lot of high quality contributions from kind folks here. It's the camaraderie for me... The desire to share. I've originally been a member of this Website since 2005 (19 years now) and I can say without a shadow of doubt that despite the toxic hate speech and "destabilizing" presence of irresponsible bigots and troll farms being financed and operated here (and other Internet platforms) by the notorious secessionist gang whose members are based mainly in Europe, America, SA and Asia as reported by the "BBC Global Disinformation Team" investigative video documentary in 2022, NL still retains some of the most intelligent folks out there who are spread all over the world.

Mysteriousworld:
To the stage at which I was in love with smoke.....

I started doubting the iboga that I bought for quite an expensive price....
The first day, instead of using the iboga, I said ,let me enjoy my last smoke, the next day, instead of using the iboga, just like a curse, I said again, haaA, Na so I go just stop, let me enjoy it today again for the last day(can you imagine me?)...hmmmm... The world of an addict.
Note, nothing less than 10k colos a day, mind you , I sold things to smoke very well also.... I sold all the irons in my compound, sold my phone several times to smoke..... BONDAGE...

EVEN UNTO THE third day after having iboga, instead of using it, I said today again is the last day , now that third day, by 1am in the night (I usually smoked all night long) all my smoke had finished, and in the instance, I won't be able to sleep, my eyes will be wide open till morning,where the first thing I will do is go and buy smoke.
But that night, I felt the morning was too long, and decided to use the iboga once and for all, I was still doubting it will work..

Anyway, I used it😊 20grams of iboga bark root.

I was wondering what experience I'd have, they said one might experience hallucinations, well, I didnt experience any hallucination,
Within 3 hrs of using it, I started purging, going to the toilet, and I was vomiting.....
I was very testy, and the more I drank water, the more I vomited, and I was going to the toilet every 5 to 20mins apart, I knew the herb was surely flushing my system of all toxicity.
By the next morning, I was feeling stronger, and to my surprise, no single urge to smoke.... I didn't wanna believe it, as in, me , the highest addict ever, even when I had malaria i still smoked, I smoked all year long, I once laid a curse one time that if I smoke this and that should happen to me, then I'll beg God For making such careless statement.... Nothing ever worked, even as much as I doubted the iboga, the doubt didn't stop it from working.
I had already written on paper, the things I want to stop and the things I want to start, as a new life style , and by the grace of God I followed through with everything, my first assignment was to read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, which I did, I just became an action person, no more procrastination....
My Brian cells were refreshed, dopamine and serotonin on point ...
There is no sweet way to end this story, order than to say, till today, my mouth hasn't touched smoke or alcohol.
I want to give all the glory to God Almighty, because he's the one that created this plant for me, I'm sure he had me in mind , when he created this plant in the beginning of the world.... God is so good.
These pharmaceutical companies making cigarette , cocaine and so on will never want iboga to be popular, or they try to say bad things about it to scare people off.... Iboga is a gift from God.

I bought a few extra grams from Gabon, to help one or two people, who might not have the financial power to travel,... (What app only) 09016710080

Once it's sold off, I can give you my link in Gabon to purchase yours.....

I appreciate the FACT that you shared your addiction story here. I was wondering if the Iboga can take care of those who take methamphetamine (meth).

I've known about "Ibogaine" for some years now through Drew Pinsky and other sources and it's use in it's native country of Gabon for religious purposes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itVIZAAiCIk?si=Z0cNv4yi6fMoMWkM

There have been reports of people selling FAKE Iboga powder to people, so, folks have to be careful NOT to buy fake products. I have watched many YT videos and read medical articles on Iboga's effectiveness and even have a special Iboga folder on one of my laptops as a future resource to help anyone.

By the way, how did you (I assume you are based in Ibadan) get to Gabon and how much did it cost you to do so? Being a French-speaking country, how were you able to navigate the communication barrier in Gabon.

I'm glad you were able to get the original Iboga and are okay now. I look forward to your feedback. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Ciao.

Furthermore,
Hmmmm,... I had heard about iboga for many years, but since it wasn't in Nigeria,and it was very expensive online, $4,500 , I didn't think about it....
But by this stage of my life, I knew I had to find a solution..........by fire and by force....
Sincerely speaking, I doubted anything in this life could make me stop smoke, due to all trials, but the testimonies I saw online were so touching..... These are people addicted to cocaine heroin opioid and so on., And I didn't see one single person that said it did not work for them.....
I said in my heart , I am going to Gabon, by all means , my story must change, how will it be said, that I came to this life to smoke ?
No o!
I made the journey, I prayed , begged God to favour me, and he favoured me, it was sold to me at a cheap price,compared to the $4,500 I was seeing on line.....
I got back home.... Hmmmm. Smiles.....
I'll gist you my experience using it, next...

crackaholic:
I'm be writing more details later tonight. I'm still busy with my job as an IT personnel in charge of computer operations in a radio station in my city. We close quite late on weekdays.

From the way you wrote in your FIRST post on this NL thread, I instantly knew full well that you are highly educated.

The current President of the United States' son, Hunter Biden who is a lawyer is a sad reminder of how hard drugs addiction can mess up a man. There have been many aircraft pilots, senior bankers, engineers, top sports men and women, IT specialists, top musicians and song writers, etc, who have in the past and present been caught in the insidious web of drug addictions. It's crazy because it destroys the entire being of the users, and spikes up cases of domestic violence and robberies in any society. This is why I have always advocated for the ultimate capital punishment for these criminal drug barons and drug traffickers via hangings, electric chairs and lethal injections. Over the years, the central and regional governments in countries such as Nigeria and South Africa have NOT been serious but have been helping to fuel this drug menace by NOT introducing the death penalty to serve as a STRONG deterant to other criminals. Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia are MORE serious countries that know full well that drug trafficking can ruin their people and civilizations and this is why death penalties exist in those economically strong countries!

I'm glad you came to the realization that YOU have to quit taking crack and more after losing millions of your money on this crazy addition. You're the REAL MPV my friend! I'm aware that Redeemed Church (RCCG) of Pastor Adeboye has an effective drug rehab program and facility in Epe, Lagos State. Pastor Tony Rapu also has another highly effective drug rehab program in Lagos State. Just do more research online and grab the contacts of those two places if you haven't. If you're based in Lagos, it would be easier to reach out to these drug rehab contact points easily.

I'll continue to read on silently (as-and-when-due) and offer more suggestions to you down the road.

Enjoy your day.

Cheers.
