ObaOfYorubaLand:
Sophisticated barbarism......

They're very Diabolic even in their churches.
I know you merely rush to comment without watching the video. Or is it data issue?TO the post, What literally brings church into a reportage of a CHINESE FIRM SACRIFICING TO APPEASE THEIR GODS? Or has tribalism blindfolded you to always see the bad in others, even where they're INNOCENT?


mysticwarrior:
A friend of mine was given a contract to construct a small bridge to link two riverine communities together in the South South. Before the construction began the oldest woman in one of the communities came to warn him to request for permission and make sacrifices to the principalities under the water but he bluntly refused.

Two weeks after the construction started his wife and 6 years old daughter became heavily sick, they took them to different hospitals but the doctors said they couldn't diagnose any illness, the last doctor suggested spiritual consultations, the mother of the wife had to seek divination intercession.

They told her that without authorization her son in-law intruded into a justidiction belonging to invisible forces, and his action has brought affliction upon his family. The mother inlaw was told that if sacrifices were not performed the daughter, the granddaughter and my friend would all die.

My friend had to perform the sacrifices and after doing that, his wife and his daughter became healthy again and the bridge was completed.
GREAT insight but pardon my intrusion, if I may ask, which two riverine communities are you talking about? JUST wanna check out the terrain and the type of bridge in question.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Even when that bridge was first constructed they sacrificed to the water goddess resident in that lagoon.
WAS actually going to say this. JULIUS BERGER did same for sure while prepping to construct the bridge back in the days and so many construction firms (including LEBANESE, CHINESE etc) are known for it, so I don't get why this one seems strange to some.

Fujiyama:
^^^
Are the construction companies doing this because it is their custom in Germany, Lebanon and China...or they are doing this because their hosts in Nigeria require it? The distinction should be made clear.
Which host? SO Lagos state go wan do something and the host go dey give them condition? THAT can happen in SS but SW only care about and clamour for the development knowing the development would bring all the other benefits they aspire. Besides, if the community wants something from LASG, they have a channel they explore without involving the construction firm and they've always done their ISESE without having the UNINITIATED involved.
IT'S the construction company's doing. CHINESE, LEBANESE, INDIANS usually do this before they start a complex projects especially ones that pass through swampy, riverine, lagoon, creek, ocean or other SCARY terrains.


Fujiyama:
^^^
undecided

I'm not sure you understood my question.




^^^
My question still stands.

Do all these construction companies perform animal sacrifices before a project in their home countries? undecided You mentioned Julius Berger in one of your earlier posts and how they slaughtered animals before building 3rd mainland bridge in Lagos. I can assure you that Bilfinger Berger doesn't do public goat sacrifices before building bridges, canals or overpasses in Germany. It just isn't their way.
Don't be a pathetic CLOWN. You asked a simple question, the post tried to simplify the answer with relative explanation but then, you still find a way to divide the reply, citing a part as not in line with the question while putting the other part (in stark contradiction)as not giving the exact answer you want to hear. If you already have you mindset fixated on a certain belief, why troubling others with useless querries then?
Anyway, did you see the video? Does any of the participants, onlookers, passers-by, in the ritual as the video depicts look like a king, chiefs or priest to you? Or when has it happen that the traditionalists whom were the custodian of their custom would suddenly leave the procession to non-initiated to do?
I may not know about the GERMANS level of infusion into spirituality but I can tell you for free that the FAR AND MIDDLE EAST (CHINESE, INDIANS, LEBANESE,) popular religions are traditional and offers RITES to their respective deities till today. To construct complex structures, they still offers RITUAL like this for non-problematic and non-fatality success.

TO respond to your question on the open space sacrifice, my believe is that they likely would have special shrine for this purpose down in their countries but may not be opportuned to stationed such anywhere here/everywhere they go particularly as it may not be prerequisite for them to perform whatever ritual their beliefs require.

YOU'RE FREE TO BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE THOUGH.

FamilyRe: Please How Do I Handle This With My Wife And Her Brother. by PHAYOL81: 9:38pm On Jan 10, 2024
Point is, you're neck-deep in a dilemma and whatever decision you take may result in regret (and this all depends on the type of woman your wife )is. But one thing is inescapable here,for peace to continue reigning in that household, you must release the money. Although down to me, if I were in your shoe, I will ask her to get the brother's account and then make a few fuss with the TRANSFER (like I get difficulty doing it)to get a chance to chat with the in-law in question where I'll wittingly thank and inform him the money is my contribution for the purchase but also to let him know the car is basically his sister's (as she wants in order not to arouse bad blood in her)by also enlightening that YOU MAY ALSO NEED THE DEALERS CONTACT WHEN YOU ARE READY TO BUY YOURS IN FUTURE (particularly after the purchase and the car looks nice).
TRY create a little bond between yourself and the brotherv all through the duration of the purchase, be visibly happy for her and after purchase, REMEMBER TO ALWAYS USE THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT EXCEPT SHE ASK YOU OTHERWISE OR EXCEPT WHEN YOU'RE BOTH HEADING TO A COMMON DESTINATION.

Where is the monopoly?


The xenophobic people will simply not subscribe.
That's the only rational means of punishing a company you don't like.
Don't buy their services, it is not by force!
AIN'T it funny that some NIGERIANS call it monopoly when a company has dominant presence in the market than its counterparts? DON'T be confused, they merely used it loosely for company they loathe and which is dominating the market.

Imagine the overwhelming support a lawbreaker (and a uniform man at that )gathered because he was caught in a loathed state of some and especially by an individual they equally dislike

Alright, you have a point, but now consider: how does your country compare to theirs?

If a hundred cases go unsolved there, undoubtedly, a thousand will go unsolved here. More distressing would be the realization that even a million cases are more likely to remain unsolved compared to their hundreds within the same period.

It's quite shameful to know that crimes like kidnapping, rape, ritual killings, and one-chance incidents are happening daily and remaining unresolved here. Numerous times, hundreds are killed in states like Benue, Kaduna, Plateau, etc., without a real culprit ever being caught. What exactly are you justifying or defending, sir?

Do you still feel you have a point now?

A working system. In some places, even your kidnapers would use your phone to make and receive calls for days and still won't be traceable cheesy
Some will even drop their account numbers for payment of ransome and still will not be caught.
WORKING system indeed. humor me, what strikes you when you hear in the news that a criminal behind a four/more decades long case is caught? YOU'd have thought no case goes unsolved by your mindset but a more broaden and objective mind would've ask him/herself if possible there were some other decades long cases like that and what happens if the unknown criminal had died along the line? THE answer, the case would never be solved. AND oh yes, they have plentiful of such unsolved cases, do your research.
