Moniya4Real:. Lol, of course one should be curious about that too. As a matter of fact, I wondered that too, but magics and tricks are all about illusionist beyond one's imaginations at times. Some assumed he got his power and tricks from India then. |
muyico:Yes, that's correct. Nike peller is also widely know due to her social life style |
SIXTEENTH:My brother. No one is infallible but people gets betrayed since the time of Adam. |
Unfortunately, social media was not that prevailing back then to further trend him for us all to see. He started his performance at the grassroot, at the communities, occasions and for the kings. |
Did you hear about professor peller while growing up in the 90s? If you are conversant with south west Nigeria, you would know the echoe and roaring of professor peller (Nickname) with his unbelievable magic tricks. Enjoy the write up put together by Ronuspirit[i][/i] This famous Magician was born in 1941 at Iseyin, Oyo State, Nigeria and he was named Moshood Folorunsho Abiola. He would later pick on the stage name of ‘Professor Peller’, an appellation that has stuck to him like a second skin. He is the father of Shina Peller the popular socialite. When Professor Peller was alive, he was the most brilliant magician in all of Africa. Even in death, Peller remains the greatest of all. He performed not only before princes but also held kings spellbound with his magic. That was how Femi Oyebode, a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Birmingham described Peller and one of his shows in 1972 at the George V Stadium in Lagos. He was a perfect picture of debonair gentleman and was assisted by an attractive young woman. He flicked his white handkerchief and a white dove flew out. He pulled at his cuff links and flowers bloomed under his command. He was confident, majestic. He was suave and graceful. His biggest ever trick was when he levitated his assistant who was also his wife and cut her in two without drawing blood. He locked her in a cupboard, chained up several times over yet she disappeared! It was a masterful performance. The crowd clapped, hooped and loudly cheered. We were seduced against our better judgment, and believed that the trick was real. He was a prolific and magnificent magician with many shows, some of which were the Invisible General, the Escaping Box, Changing Dresses and the Zigzag. One thing with Peller’s performances is that they were executed with maximum finesse and accuracy. The life of this great magician was cut short prematurely due to an assassination attempt on his life that was successful. His wife Alhaja Silifat Adeboyin Peller, as she is currently known as, in an interview with BBC News Yoruba she said that it was the questions that were asked to late Professor Peller that led to his downfall. It was in an interview that he was asked when he could ever be found without his charms and he answered that when he observed prayers, he was charmless and that was the information that was banked on to carry out his assassination attempt. The story told us that the people who were sent to assassinate him, greatly capitalized on his weak point, waited till he was ready to observe prayer noon prayer and execute him at the sport. No one knew the motive for the brutal killing at the time. Just the mere sayings and speculations. This is how the mighty ones are fallen in a very light and meaningless way. As he was loved widely that was the same way he was envied by many and that envy was what led to his death. Nevertheless magic in Africa cannot be spoken about without mentioning professor Peller and that in itself is a glorious life well lived.

Jokerman:But thesame evil spirit left him to be devoured ![]() |
thesicilian:Lol, u are right....unfortunately for him, he did that on a wild carnivorous animal. So no going back to retrace his steps. ![]() |
I remember mum narrated this story to me that it happened when I was still being backed as a baby. She said an evening radio station broadcasted and we keep on hearing the story as we grow up. If we were in more prevailing technology time as at the moment, we would have had the video circulated to see. The said prophet obviously outdid himself. His church would av been second to non in the world by now. |
From Nigeriastories via X Ibadan, the capital of Oyo state, is the largest city in Nigeria and the third in Africa after Cairo and Johannesburg. The city which lies in the south-western part of Nigeria is known for its rich and fascinating cultures, lifestyle, history and spellbinding tourist destinations One of the most visited tourist destinations in Ibadan is the University of Ibadan zoological garden which proudly houses different animals ranging from lions to rabbits. It is a popular custom of many families living in Ibadan to visit the zoo during festive periods to hang out and have fun as well. So, on a fateful (later bloody) day in the Easter season of the year 1991, visitors stormed the U.I zoo as usual to enjoy the serene environment of the enclosure and have fun seeing different animals they have only seen on screens. Of all the animals in the the zoo. a man, a bold and daring prophet by the name Daniel Abodurin [/b]who wanted to show people the ‘[b]work of God of Daniel‘ by walking into the lions’ cage to touch them like Daniel did in the bible without getting mauled. Prophet Abodurin’s intention was to recreate the biblical story of a young man named Daniel who out of envy was thrown to some lions that turned out to have been mysteriously tamed. The biblical story has it that God sent down some angels to shut the mouths of the lions. The determined Prophet Daniel Abodurin walked up to some staff of the zoo and pleaded to gain entry into the lions’ cage. No one in his or her right senses will give ears to this kind of plea, so the prophet was turned down. But after much disturbance and persuasion, the prophet’s insane wish was granted. Another account has it that Prophet Abodurin sneaked into the lions’ cage. Sneaking or no sneaking, he eventually found his way into the cage. Many people present at the scene could not believe what their eyes were seeing, and realizing it was not a dream, they prepared their mind for the worst result. Prophet Daniel Abodurin was clothed in a red robe and under his armpit was a big bible. As he entered the cage, he began reciting bible verses and speaking in tongues and calling unto the ‘God of Daniel’ to perform wonders. It was gathered that he was shouting jah, jah, jah which was believed to be a shortened form of Jehovah. At first, the lions retreated to a corner of their cage. Unknown to the to-be African version of Daniel, retreating is the first thing lions do when they see something unusual in their territory and later they get rid of it. Prophet Abodurin thought his faith was really working. He moved nearer to the lions and kept chanting bible verses, then in a flash, the lions pounced on the bemused, confused and horrified prophet. A cold stream of shock ran down the spines of the terrified onlookers. Prophet Daniel Abodurin battled for his dear life but his strength was no match for that of the hefty lions, and in a moment, he was torn into pieces and devoured. His bloody red robe laid in shreds and his bible which he had flung away at the beginning of the attack was covered in dust. Stampede ensued in the zoo as people took to their heels after seeing such a horrible sight they will never forget in their lives.The prophet’s remains were collected and later buried. That was how Prophet Daniel Abodurin met his fate but not in fate...

It's unfortunate that people still need a one on one orientation in this part of the world. No one is ready to build from scratch before longing for the proceed, you only want to explore a shortcut as an opportunist and dream of making it big time. Hence, you hardly find a visionary amongst our people. Meanwhile, we cannot shy away from the foundation of this nation in a forceful and dishonest way. This nation post amalgamation was designed and converge to fail, not the other way round. The elders we would I've ran to for help with the experiences are also running away, everyone only care about the welfare of their selves and that of their immediate family. Who are the politicians? We all form and belongs to the pool of politicians, hence we are also grossly one of them. Our brothers, sisters, friends, colleagues are one of them. I can't really digest the idea of helping our brothers on ballot box to snatch and cart away the constitutional votes of our brothers. As ridiculous as it is, the cause of their action did not emanate today, but it has been a customary trait in existence since the time of our founding fathers. I try as much not to do this on a public forum because it's not substantial to any effect, but news of this type would make me do it. Abeg, hand dey pain me, make I rest 😞😞 |

Kentuforchrist:Lol. My friend Funny thing is that, if you refuse to vote, you will only make it easier for inec to round up their figures earlier and collate the little votes casted. It amuses me when people think they are posing a threat to politicians when they boycott voting exercises. We only enormously run away from reality to make ourselves feel better |
yrhuhfy113:Waoo! This is very educative and insightful. You can't have it all as a man of both genders. Regularities and irregularities is not peculiar to anyone, plus the fact that the society we live in shapes us all to the kind of culture going in on in marriages. I could love this comment a thousand time.... And to Op, I hope you understand this and desist from generalizing. Remember you don't choose your gender before you were born. Would you have said this if you were born of the opposite gender? Let us learn and relearn |

You will be surprised what the cost of getting and sowing that materials could fetch a common man. Of course anyone can get him herself a nice and befitting designers. But not the one that portray you in a negative way. She knew what she was doing, now she got the attention she desperately crave for. |
