The root cause of this issue has not been addressed. Someone has seriously erred in your lineage.

Find the root cause through prayer,
make atonement,
and your brothers will be healed.
Nothing other than this Op. Take this advise.

Mrskillz1:
I am from a family of three. I have two brothers. One older and the other younger than me so I'm the only girl in my family.

I grew up seeing my Mom mad.
By my teen age, I got admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe University alongside my elder brother who was to study Engineering. By the time I was in my finals, my brother was getting ready for IT. One day, his roommate sent for me, he said they couldn't sleep the night before because my brother was talking to himself. Before we knew what was happening, my brother was getting violent and so we took him home and he never got back to finish school.
I proceeded with my education and finished. Went for NYSC. While serving the nation, My Mom died. When I got home, she'd been buried.
But my brother was still mad.

I later got job, took my brother to a Psychiatric hospital and the doctor after examining him said he is Schizophrenic. He was asked to stay in the hospital.
I paid. He then stayed there for one month. When I came to visit him, he pleaded with me to take him home that he didn't like it there.

So I took him home. Every month, I buy drugs for him and he gets injected. He usually puts up a fight but with the help of my younger brother, neighbors and a certain nurse, he receives the injection, forcefully and against his will.
Often times, he pleads with me not to inject him, the very time I obliged him, he scattered things, didn't allow the neighborhood sleep, talked throughout some nights and wouldn't eat sometimes. He looked really sick then but with the injection, one will hardly know he's not normal.
I told him that I won't let him miss his injection ever again.

Now, on Monday, my younger brother woke up and was unusually quiet. He normally wakes up and begins to play music with his phone or he will turn to football channel and watch until I leave for work. But I didn't go to work on Monday and I noticed he was quiet, then I asked him why he's quiet. He didn't respond. After some hours, I asked my Dad if he feels he's okay, My Dad said that he wants to be quiet and that I should let him be.

Then, that night, around 4am, my brother began to talk. He was shouting and some of the things he said were not coherent. He talked out of point. I and my Dad, with my elder brother surrounded him and I couldn't help crying when my Dad was cautioning him to keep quiet and he refused.
Neighbours thought it was my elder brother's voice they'd heard that night but by the time they heard in the morning that it was my younger brother, they visited my Dad in the evening. By then, my brother was still talking and even burnt his clothes yesterday.
My Dad got a few guys to chain him because he was violent yesterday when I left the house.
I know the problem is spiritual. I have prayed, fasted for my elder brother and now this!
I'm so unhappy.

Can someone suggest a place I can take my two brothers to so they can be cured, please.

My sister I don't know the kind of advice you must have have received before this but I want you to know this: IT IS NOT A SPIRITUAL PROBLEM. Why did I say this? My brother suffered from Schizophrenia in 2008 and yes it is as you have explained. The sickness is what we call pure madness in Nigeria. In my brother's case he was given drugs and not injection. I think you guys should have insisted on drugs instead. Till date my brother still uses his drugs and if you are not close to my family you might not know he is suffering from such ailment even if you see him. How was he cured?

I cannot start typing the story here cause that's a long story. Very long story but let me be brief. It was later discovered it was not a spiritual problem but medical. We had prayed, fasted, moved from one hospital to another. It appeared many Nigerian doctors don't understand the sickness. Some will tell us it's serious typhoid. And after spending heavily sometimes the figures running to millions before we realise it's bullshit. We moved from one spiritual home to another. I visited native doctors (or witch doctor, whatever you call it), various pastors and everything I think I could do. I was mentally drained. It was then I came to this conclusion.
1. There might be no God.
2. The pastor's we have in Nigeria are fake. You would not know this until you are in serious issues like this
3. Science is based on trial and error. You can't even be sure if the medicine you are given will cure your disease or kill you. I actually prayed before he took any drug or injection.

The solution came when a lady (family friend) visited us. She had heard of my brother's condition and came. This lady prayed, everyone joined her in prayers, speaking in tongues and all that. Before she told us her son who is a neurologist and works with the same General Hospital we had visited severally had his private hospital. We went there and this was his diagnosis:

It appeared that in my brother's case, it was a result of how he was delivered at birth. The neurologist requested to speak with the doctor that delivered him and he questioned him. Thankfully the man was still alive. But note that my brother was 18 years by then. My brother was delivered through ceserea operation and some complications led to what he was facing. In my brother's case the Schizophrenia case was more serious than your brother's case because mine usually suffers from seizures from time to time. Note my brother also suffered from serious convulsion when he was younger which was a sign that he would suffer from Schizophrenia in the future but because we were ignorant we took it as normal.

Please this is just a tip of what I passed through. If you were to meet me one on one, I would have told you more than this. Believe me when I say it's just a tip. The main reason I'm telling you this is to encourage you to channel you energy on the medical aspect and forget about anything spiritual for now. There is no road there. I have been through this so I know many friends and family will tell you it's spiritual. Just to fulfill all righteousness you can join them in any spiritual activity they ask you to do but don't allow the activity add stress to your sick brother. For example bathe him naked in the night or make him fast for days. The solution is in MEDICINE. Don't be deceived. I really pity for your brother cause he has passed through a lot from your story. Don't leave him in any psychiatric hospital alone. You wouldn't like what happen to people there. Stay with him and keep Praying. If there is a God, he would answer your prayers.

Thank you. Well informed people shouldn't just scroll and pass through this topic. The ignorance spewed all over this thread is nauseating.

Thank you and God bless you. Keep up dispelling all these nonsense of spiritual and curse.

Poster. It is medical condition that is manageable. You don't want to know how many professionals you see everyday going about their normal live but who are on drugs for this condition. Take your brother to Fed Neuropsychiatrist New Haven Enugu






You are highly welcomed. It pains me reading so many ignorant comments here that will end up misleading the OP. Everything for naija must be tied to spiritual attack grin grin

Poster I have taken it upon myself to keep repeating this till you acknowledge you have heard me. Any doctor here will understand why the emphasis. People go to all manner of stupid places looking for pastors and prophets and herbalists to cure what your family is experiencing only to finally destroy any chances of full recovery.

Poster please go to a Federal Neuropsychiatrist hospital New Heaven Enugh. The earlier you go the better the prognosis. Please. You are in Onitsha, drive down to Federal Neuropsychiatrist Hospital New Heaven Enugu on Monday. Don't make the mistake of going with all these herbal and spiritual solutions.

These are very stupid ideas. That many people are saying it's spiritual doesn't make it true. A lot of people are ignorant and daft! I am pleading with you. That young man is NOT under any attack. Your family is NOT under any curse or attack. Just like diabetics run in some families, this condition is also familial. Please start early to save that young man.

Consultant Neuropsychiatrists will manage this case very well and your brother will be whatever he wants to be so long as he takes his medications. The earlier you commence treatment the better the management.

Please in God's name DO NOT patronize all these prophets, pastors, herbal nonsense. This is a normal case. It's familial. Positive history from your mother's side. It is NOT a curse. It is NOT an attack.

It is a purely medical condition

It might not be spiritual from your narration of what happened to your mum.

If it were to be, would have recommended $Ar rukyah" that's if you are a Muslim. It'll be gone for good


In all, I wish you and your family well

Mrskillz1:

Has your intelligence ever failed you?
Did you see me here all these years seeking for solution?
I went science way because I knew it's in the gene but then, I found that it's not the best because of the generations after and so I began to seek permanent solution.
Something must have triggered it because my mom's ancestors had no record of such.
So if it started along the line, something must have influenced it. This is why I'm out here looking for a fix. Not the kind of fix drugs do.
Something higher.

I'm intelligent my dear, but right now...I really do not know.
Spiritual homes will milk you dry. Quote me anywhere....you ll come back with more sorrows

It could be genetic, medical and spiritual. But seek medical help first vis-a-vis the spiritual. And also in your junior brother's case it could be a case of "copy syndrome". Maybe he's just going through a little challenge which is also making him to mimic his elder brother's condition. Junior siblings can sometimes acquire behavior from most especially their senior ones. He'll definitely get over it and I pray God will bring healing to your family. Amen!

See let me tell you straight up, your family is dealing with a very terrible case marine spirit, if you don't do something it will continue with other generations of children to come after you all, it's coming one by one, to everyone in your family, it's a spiritual case that needs urgent attention, water spirit is the cause, and such spirit will not stop until they have destroyed your family, so I will advise you to take your entire family to OPM DOCTOR JESUS CITY in port/ Harcourt for Deliverance, (check for the church on the internet and see things for your self) you will be given a prayer assignment to do, and the case will be over that I assure you. You don't joke with water spirit or marine spirit, they are wicked and destructive, they will not stop, till you stop them all. Others have received their deliverance, yours is a small case. The marine spirits just want to waste your money and render you penny less so be wise.

Remember Jesus is the head of all principalities and power and he is the only one that can help you over come them all. Take my advice!




Take note you are not paying for your prayers in the church, any church or place you go to and they collect your money to do prayers for you, that place is of the devil, run, it will not work, so don't let people decieve you and take youto fake prayer houses.

Get a true pastor, and join ur faith with his. God is stil healing, Provided u dont waiver in faith. Forget abt prayer houses, if u strongly keep believing in God, u wil soon see result. Keep fasting, keep praying, keep laying hands on them. And always read out the word of God, bible to them, esp wen they sleep. Then dont be afraid abt ur self, may God intervene soon.

I have asked questions.
My mom became mad as she got pregnant with my younger brother.
By then, my Dad said he took her to several places and was told that it was ogbanje. My mom is very beautiful and hardworking.
Her family joined in the solution.
She became okay after she put to bed.
Then they decided not to have more kids.
My mom's shop is in main market onitsha, after a few years, the madness returned and her shop was closed down. By then, we had grown a little and so everyone concentrated on us, giving us a life.
I remember that my mom leaves house every morning and will trek to main market and hang around there and return by evening.
This she did daily.
She was not violent. She was usually by herself.
Her brothers usually came to see her.
My Dad took care of her grooming.
Until few years back when she suddenly stopped going to market and stayed indoors for like a week.
Then one night, my Dad said she called him as they were sleeping and said to him that we will be fine.
Then they slept off and she didn't wake up in the morning.
Since a medical doctor already identified the illness, keep going the medical way. Forget pastors and native doctors, they will compound their problems.

Mental illness has two major causes; Spiritual and natural.

CandyOps:
It's like you want your brothers to go COMPLETELY MAD abi??

You already have proof that medications work to an extent on your younger brother abi? Which other solution do you seek alert from what works already??!

The moment you carry that man into a spiritual home is the moment his madness will go into gear 4.

And deep down inside you, you already know the source of the problem. IT IS HEREDITARY! A.K.A in your blood.

Hello!! You mean to say you went through school and the words 'genetics' never sunk into your head?!

....

You see religion and superstition is really killing African growth. How can a fully grown university educated man seek health solutions from any other place outside a health facility??

And before u start quoting me, just know I also have a cousin who is mentally unstable and suffers from schizophrenia too.

My neighbor had a burst vein in his head from High BP complications and his illiterate mom rushed him to a spiritual home where he went into coma during their spiritual razzmatazz.

Before her head correct it's too late. Nigga was DOA by the time they got to the hospital.

In fact, I believe any religious home that takes on the role of a healthcare provider should be sued and probably even shut down.

...

Here is how the scientific process works:

- You encounter a problem.
- You make guesses/assumptions to what the solution could be & ask questions to the cause of the prob.
- You make guesses using the answers you got. Called a hypothesis. This guess should be something testable. Meaning anyone can replicate the tests.
- Make a prediction from the answers you get
- Now you run some tests on that hypothesis (usually trial and errors while noting what works)
- You come up with more hypothesis
- You know what works to an extent (in your case, drugs) which leads you to making a clearer prediction.

- you test again till you come up with a theory of how to go about such issues in future...

....


Now, over the thousands of years mankind and modern humans have literally done almost all these testing for us and we only have to improve on it. But NO! Not an African man.

An African man will encounter a problem and instead of following the scientific step, he will immediately say to himself, "I need to talk to God about this" or worse, "it looks spiritual. I can't do anything about it if God doesn't do anything about it"

... And just in that moment, all the creative ideas and potential discoveries that could have been made will be cut short!

.....


You see, when we cry over the dangers of superstition in Africa and how it is underdeveloping us Christians and other religious folks will rather put the devil on you by calling Atheist or Apethists (people who don't care about deities) devil worshipers than see reasons with us.

I mean, just imagine what an adult who passed through the 4 walls of a classroom is saying. It's deeper than just getting school knowledge and I don't blame anyone because it is a result of hundreds of years of torture and slavery by the white people who brought on this scam called religion to us

(Don't mistake religion for spirituality or spiritism)

Africans pls plssss stop bowing to the ducking skies and learn to use your heads

The damaging effects of religion is not just found in our healthcare system. It's everywhere. Most especially in our minds. Slavery ducked us up real good. But then we keep ducking ourselves everyday by choosing to remain in the slavery

It's like what Kanye West said in an interview on TMZ that went viral. "400 years of slavery seemed like a choice"

Sorry I'm coming off as harsh but pls I beg you in the name of anything you believe in, DO NOT STEP ONE FOOT into ANY religious home. Well, except you want to dump your bro there for the worse.

And the funny thing is this:

When you let a super-religious person in on the TRUTH about their bullshit they'll always go through these stages:

1. Denial or Ridicule (they deny it or Ridicule it/you)

2. Rejection [they reject it entirely and will become violent towards the source of the information (you) ]

3. Acceptance (they finally begin to see reason)

Which explains why I don't like having a religious convo with anyone. I just listen and nod or zone you off.

And the reason is because I hate being the bearer of bad news. And I hate being at the receiving end of the 3 stages of accepting the truth I listed above.

It's also one of the reasons why the bearer of bad news in the olden days were usually put to death by the King.

Anyone who loses a loved one also passes through those 3 stages before accepting the truth.

First, you ridicule the info.
Then you react violent to oppose it.
Later, acceptance dwells in.

It also explains why most superstitious folks HATE atheist (or rather dispise the people/persons who first told them God don't exist)

And another reason is because it goes against everything you've ever known from birth. In other words, the person is saying you're stewpid.

And no one likes being stewpid

Thanks so much for your candid advice to this brother, but i suggest you should stick to the part of life you have seen and not castigate the other.

I have a friend who was mad far back as 2007 who was taken to a church(undisclosed) and was healed by God(the spiritual way you castigated) .

Till date he's still whole, life is deeper than you know and see.

Thanks for the advice once again.

Poster I have taken it upon myself to keep repeating this till you acknowledge you have heard me. Any doctor here will understand why the emphasis. People go to all manner of stupid places looking for pastors and prophets and herbalists to cure what your family is experiencing only to finally destroy any chances of full recovery.

Poster please go to a Federal Neuropsychiatrist hospital New Heaven Enugh. The earlier you go the better the prognosis. Please. You are in Onitsha, drive down to Federal Neuropsychiatrist Hospital New Heaven Enugu on Monday. Don't make the mistake of going with all these herbal and spiritual solutions.

These are very stupid ideas. That many people are saying it's spiritual doesn't make it true. A lot of people are ignorant and daft! I am pleading with you. That young man is NOT under any attack. Your family is NOT under any curse or attack. Just like diabetics run in some families, this condition is also familial. Please start early to save that young man.

Consultant Neuropsychiatrists will manage this case very well and your brother will be whatever he wants to be so long as he takes his medications. The earlier you commence treatment the better the management.

Please in God's name DO NOT patronize all these prophets, pastors, herbal nonsense. This is a normal case. It's familial. Positive history from your mother's side. It is NOT a curse. It is NOT an attack.

It is a purely medical condition
Good advice.

I hope she acts on this.

I have asked questions.
My mom became mad as she got pregnant with my younger brother.
By then, my Dad said he took her to several places and was told that it was ogbanje. My mom is very beautiful and hardworking.
Her family joined in the solution.
She became okay after she put to bed.
Then they decided not to have more kids.
My mom's shop is in main market onitsha, after a few years, the madness returned and her shop was closed down. By then, we had grown a little and so everyone concentrated on us, giving us a life.
I remember that my mom leaves house every morning and will trek to main market and hang around there and return by evening.
This she did daily.
She was not violent. She was usually by herself.
Her brothers usually came to see her.
My Dad took care of her grooming.
Until few years back when she suddenly stopped going to market and stayed indoors for like a week.
Then one night, my Dad said she called him as they were sleeping and said to him that we will be fine.
Then they slept off and she didn't wake up in the morning.
quite sad...God will see u through..
Re: Help! My Younger Brother Is Going Mad by Loxide: 5:21pm On May 08, 2021
Sorry dear. However, I don't think you should go any other direction, except the medical way. You already know what the problem is, and have a proven control for it. Schizophrenia is a chronic condition with no cure. You only control it. I had a friend who had it, and it was in their family. I also know of people who have it and live Normal life with monthly injections. Pastors and native doctors will only milk you, except God himself says, "It is finished."
By the way, what is the name of the monthly injection your elder brother was taking?

Honestly, after reading this your write up tears dropped out of my eyes. May the Almighty God, the Alpha and Omega, the Omnipotent, the Omniscience look into this tears and eradicate any form of mental illness in your family in the name of Jesus,with my faith and trust in God, I declare your family free from any physical or spiritual attacks,Amen.

OP, let your mom’s last words be your strength. “ Y’all will be fine”.

I am from a family of three. I have two brothers. One older and the other younger than me so I'm the only girl in my family.

I grew up seeing my Mom mad.
By my teen age, I got admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe University alongside my elder brother who was to study Engineering. By the time I was in my finals, my brother was getting ready for IT. One day, his roommate sent for me, he said they couldn't sleep the night before because my brother was talking to himself. Before we knew what was happening, my brother was getting violent and so we took him home and he never got back to finish school.
I proceeded with my education and finished. Went for NYSC. While serving the nation, My Mom died. When I got home, she'd been buried.
But my brother was still mad.

I later got job, took my brother to a Psychiatric hospital and the doctor after examining him said he is Schizophrenic. He was asked to stay in the hospital.
I paid. He then stayed there for one month. When I came to visit him, he pleaded with me to take him home that he didn't like it there.

So I took him home. Every month, I buy drugs for him and he gets injected. He usually puts up a fight but with the help of my younger brother, neighbors and a certain nurse, he receives the injection, forcefully and against his will.
Often times, he pleads with me not to inject him, the very time I obliged him, he scattered things, didn't allow the neighborhood sleep, talked throughout some nights and wouldn't eat sometimes. He looked really sick then but with the injection, one will hardly know he's not normal.
I told him that I won't let him miss his injection ever again.

Now, on Monday, my younger brother woke up and was unusually quiet. He normally wakes up and begins to play music with his phone or he will turn to football channel and watch until I leave for work. But I didn't go to work on Monday and I noticed he was quiet, then I asked him why he's quiet. He didn't respond. After some hours, I asked my Dad if he feels he's okay, My Dad said that he wants to be quiet and that I should let him be.

Then, that night, around 4am, my brother began to talk. He was shouting and some of the things he said were not coherent. He talked out of point. I and my Dad, with my elder brother surrounded him and I couldn't help crying when my Dad was cautioning him to keep quiet and he refused.
Neighbours thought it was my elder brother's voice they'd heard that night but by the time they heard in the morning that it was my younger brother, they visited my Dad in the evening. By then, my brother was still talking and even burnt his clothes yesterday.
My Dad got a few guys to chain him because he was violent yesterday when I left the house.
I know the problem is spiritual. I have prayed, fasted for my elder brother and now this!
I'm so unhappy.

Can someone suggest a place I can take my two brothers to so they can be cured, please.

Beloved, I really feel your pains and thanks to God for your realization that this is not just ordinary. Many people suffer from things they know nothing about because of foundational problems that run through generations and blood lines, but I assure you God will make a way for you...As you've seen already, the medical followup had only been proven to be a temporary hold down as the problem still persists & worse still, crossing to different members of the family while money & family wellbeing continued to drain through the ages & not solution as earlier envisaged or needed now. So if this predicament is not traced & dealt with from its very root, brilliant & promising future generations especially the superstars of the family might also fall victim - God forbid please! But please ask your dad if he could recall any drama or disagreement or struggles from your mom's dad, mum (your grandma), whosoever that stood in their place or family members before, during or even after the marriage..?
But please if you don't mind, I will love to connect you to my Spiritual father Missionary' John-Sogbete Princewill. I'm certain God can use him to help you and your family out.
You can reach him directly on 08162337208.
God bless you.

Hi dear, I'm so sorry about what's going on. I believe you're a Christian. I'm not going to tell you to pray and fast or read 50 Bible verses a day or meet any pastor to lay hands on them. You can do that if u wish. What I'll just tell you is very simple and it'll need you to simply believe.

I'd love for you to partake of the Holy Communion with your brothers (if they've ever accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior then they're Christians already). Don't fear based on what people have said that if you're unworthy or someone who's not living right, you'll fall sick or die. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner, eats and drinks judgement to himself, not discerning the Lord's body... So to discern the Lord's body is to separate the work of the body from the work of the blood.

Jesus bore their sicknesses and everything that's wrong with them right now. And the blood represents their sins that have been forgiven. So when you partake with them, don't ask Him to heal them. Simply thank Him for healing them. Tell Him "thank you Jesus that by Your stripes, my brothers are healed from..." And when you want to drink the wine with them, don't ask Him to forgive them or be sin-conscious. Be forgiveness-conscious and say [b]"Thank you Jesus for forgiving us of all our sins and making us righteous by your blood"

Don't neglect taking them to the hospital or giving them drugs. Neither should you ignore the Lord's supper. Take the Holy Communion daily with them. You can take it three times a day if you want. In the Bible, the disciples went from house to house to partake of it. So they ate it many times a day. But don't do it ritually. Each time you want to partake, even though you're preparing it, see Jesus preparing it for you guys and giving you all the bread and wine.

You can use grape juice or wine or any other drink that looks like wine. You can use bread or crackers too. And when partaking, don't look somber or sad. Rejoice and believe their breakthrough is here. Just know Jesus wants to heal them. Majority of what He did on earth was to heal.

Remember the children of Israel the night before they left Egypt? The Bible says none were feeble when they left. And that's because of what they partook the night before. They ate a lamb. And now, we in the new covenant have the perfect Lamb to eat. Don't worry about having big faith before they can be healed. Each time you partake just believe in your heart that they are getting better and better. Take it one step at a time. Remember Jesus said a faith as little as a mustard seed can move mountains? So see your faith as small as that each time you partake with them. See them being healed little by little each time you partake with them. Don't give up no matter how many days or weeks or months you eat it. They'll get better and see the results, permanent results. Also, let them continuously listen to sermons that speak on Jesus' love for them, sermons that explains the finished work of Christ... strictly about Jesus. Faith won't come by hearing the law or obeying the commandments. Faith comes when you hear the good news of Jesus...that Jesus is healing, just like those who got healed when Jesus was on earth. They heard He was healing and got healed. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God.

Lastly, a single act of eating brought damnation to the world (Adam)...it brought sicknesses and aging to the world. So can a simple act of partaking of the Lord's body reverse all the curses and sicknesses. I pray they receive divine health in Jesus name! And don't fear or worry about yourself. Christ has redeemed you from every curse of the law. That's a promise. Hold on to it and confess it whenever such fears crop up to your mind. I'd love to explain more but it's already too long.
