There was a time when I was somewhere in Edo state and right in front of me, two guys were arguing and one brought out a gun and shot in the air.. Everyone ran helter skelter... Later I started hearing rumors that someone shot someone and the bullet did not enter.. This was something that happened in front of me. No body was shot but air...

From that day I decided that I won't take even an eye witness account of an incident with a grain of salt..

Till I see someone being shot with a gun (and if possible I'll check to see if the gun and bullet are real) and the bullet doesn't pierce before I'll believe such charms exist

You'd confirm the gun LMAO! True Story, few months ago, a friend of mine got accosted by AK47 wielding fulani robbers along the Uzowanni Ihamefu road at Nsukka. Everyone around that axis know they've infiltrated that area. They robbed him successfully and attempted to kidnap him. He resisted and they shot him in the thigh twice. The bullets didn't penetrate. When it didn’t penetrate my friend attacked them to try to get a gun. They were two assailants. They managed to run into the forest and my friend went his way.

His leg from the thigh down was swollen for few days perhaps either due to the impact of the bullets on his body or the charms fulanis lace their bullets in before going for attacks (eye witness account of a kidnap victim).

Now these are things to note: I knew when he went to get that bullet charm, matter of fact I advised him to. I know who did it for him, it was me and a police friend who took him there the first time. This isn't a story, this was live! What could have made the bullets not to penetrate? Do the fulanis go for operation with blanks?

OP... Like you said, there some guns that doesn't respect prayers or charm, yea that's true.....

Charm works, but not for all guns... It may work for all this locally made guns by our own hands...

now i tell you, take up a foreign english glock, then pull the trigger and let the rounds be release to a body that has been fortified, that's when you realise that, before the body was fortified, the rounds itself and the glock were already fortified...
just one bullet to a wrong point takes you down immediately

Don't mind him. Even oyibo has bullet proof which is also a form of charm cos when u look at that vest there is nothing that will stop a bullet in it but people put their trust in it. It's not 100% sure but because it's made by oyibo the black man sees it as perfect.
So you think bullet proof is ordinary fabric?? Do a simple research on how bullet proof works.. It will consume less than 1mb of your data

I tell you, even if the whites come back again to colonise Africa with guns from WW 1, they'd prove to y'all that charms doesn't work..

Hello
Re: Do You Believe Charms Exist That Can Prevent Bullet From Piercing The Body? by Konquest: 11:31pm On May 21, 2021

On 14th January 1997, a 504 Peugeot car overtook a Mercedez Benz, a man came out brandishing an Israeli Uzi and opened fire on Mercedez car. Some accounts claimed over forty rounds were fired, the windscreen was shattered, car interior riddled and torn by bullets. Satisfied that he had executed his mission as brutally, the gunman jumped into the Peugeot and the car zoomed away, leaving behind the riddled car and unfortunate occupants to he discovered. The shooter's car had not gone far while the doors of the Mercedez were opened, two men came out. They were unhurt!


Pa Abraham Adesanya, the late former leader of the Afenifere, later claimed he and his driver survived without a scratch. He claimed too that he survived by the grace of God, and denied using any charm. But it was hard to believe that a man survived the rain of bullets discharged by the dreaded sharpshooter of Gen. Sani Abacha killer square, Barnabas Jabila aka Sergent Rogers, without charm. Do charms really stop bullets from penetrating the body?

It is widely believed in Nigeria that charms do more than protecting the body from spiritual attack, they provide protection against physical weapons too, against cutlasses and bullets. Tales abound of criminals and even men of the armed forces fortifying their bodies against blades and bullets before going out for an operation. And as long as the person survives, it is evidence that the charm is working. Those who lost their lives during operation either by blade or gun, it is assumed their charm has failed them. For charms come with terms and conditions that had to be abided by; only those who failed to adhere to the terms are affected. But how powerful is the charm?



In northern Nigeria, amulets called laya or guru are used for fortification, local touts use it. In Yoruba land, the Okigbe and Ayeta charms are used for body fortification, for protection against blades and bullets respectively. Almost all Nigerian communities claimed the possessed the charm that protects the body against weapons, be it blade or bullet. Traditional warriors and local vigilantes or militants often complete their battle regalia with displays of protection charms. Some who don’t, claimed they have undergone ritual ceremonies that fortify the body against weapons, all kinds of weapons. It is rumored that some military men before going to the war front are given charms that will protect their bodies from bullets – some who left before protection ritual, family members visit local charm makers to fortify the individual by proxy.



An important question arises, if charms were very effective, how then did the Europeans defeated Nigerian communities? African societies in the past practice pure traditional religion without syncretism, warriors and hunters adhered to terms and conditions that guarantee protecting the body from weapons, yet they were fallen by bullets! Even traditional rulers, who embody the perfection of bodily protection could not dare European guns. It was said that they could disappear when faced with danger, yet some were captured and exiled, or killed: Nana of Itsekiri, Jaja of Opobo, Oba Ovonramwem of Benin were captured and exiled; Caliph Atahiru I of Sokoto died in Battle. The fighting forces in all communities in Nigeria used charms for fortification in terms of war, yet the European Maxim gun fell them in their hundreds, and captured and colonized Nigeria entirely.


Even shrines were invaded, ransacked, looted, and destroyed.

But yet, most Nigerians still believe charms protect people from bullets – the same charms that couldn’t protect their ancestors. But then, how can one explain Pa Abraham Adesanya surviving over 40 bullets sprayed on his car without a scratch on his body or of his driver's? The man denied using protection charm, but Nigerians disagree. They believe all Nigerian leaders, and not only fighting men and criminals but also use charms for protection. And that on its own is proof that charms are potent enough to protect the body from bullets.

The human body is made of flesh and it is not hard enough to prevent a bullet from piercing it, but Nigerians believe charms are like invincible bulletproof against a bullet, and nothing can change that conviction. Criminals still go around with charms on their bodies or have been fortified by means of rituals. Even some men of the armed forces allegedly use charms to protect themselves from criminals or enemies from the front. Some even armed forces rigged their weapons with charms against enemies or criminals who have fortified their bodies.


Maybe charms can stop a bullet from penetrating the human body, maybe charms cannot. Science or ballistics insist it is impossible for bullet not to pierce the human body, sometimes with a fatal consequence, without the use of physical bulletproof. Yet again, it cannot be disproved that the spiritual realm is real and that miracles happen – as it has happened to Pa Adesanya, either through the protection of Allah, Jesus, or Charm. However it happens, the best protection against bullet remains to stay away from where gunfights are imminent or use bulletproof. There are some guns and bullets that just don’t respect prayers or charms.

Have you ever heard or witness an incident where someone survived gunshot with the help of a charm, share your experience to enlighten others.

People can lie for Africa, reason I support media regulation, if u spread fake news, you should bear the brunt.

That's how couple of years back a story broke that Boko Haram enter Methodist Church in Ikorodu, and the guy is with a bomb, it's all over Nairaland.......

I was there fa, just a thief trying to steal in the church, and was apprehended, a Yoruba guy for that matter, and people turned it to Boko Haram attack.
