Dog Magic Of Yoruba Hunters- Ulli Beier's Story by Ishilove: 5:08pm On Sep 08, 2021 |
I am a dog lover and owner, and having lived with them for over twenty years, I am able to read them almost 100% accurately. This is why I found this article I will be posting below delightfully fascinating. A Facebook user and member of the private Facebook group, The Nigerian Nostalgia 1960 -1980 Project David Fatumbi narrated an interesting story about Ulli Beier's experience with his dog and a dog eating Oya priest. The following fascinating story has historical, anthropological, sociological, religious, and cultural value. It is also, from a narrative style perspective, an excellent example of how to tell a story.

Very interesting. Those incantations can be learnt too but mostly now being used to invoke the potency in nature's gifts and elements and entertainment role play in Yoruba films/theatre. This account and its sequence are credible . Lol @ Prof Uli Beier declaring Tantolorun ( No one is as Great as God) as being rabid after it was charmed. Thanks OP for sharing . Late Prof Beier was the one who brought his wife , Susanne Wenger ,his ex-wife later became "Adunni Olorisa" of the Osun Sacred Grove Priestess. FreeStuffsNG 52 Likes 6 Shares

I have a very mild mannered dog that is more of a pet than a guard. He allows visitors into my home freely without molesting them, however, there is this electrician that comes to fix things, and whenever my dog sights him, he is transformed to a growling, bristling furball with sharp teeth. He goes crazy and barks non-stop till the guy leaves. I later learned the guy eats dogs, which is why my gentle, tiny pet cannot stand the sight of him. These animals can sense things that most humans can't. Keep calling them 'pepper soup' o, you hear? Let them catch you first 87 Likes 6 Shares |

Ishilove: That silly one around me ehn, he has this particularly girl he dislikes so much. She lives in the BQ. Do you know this dog would go to the front of her room to wait for her? Isn’t that bullying? Ishi what do you think of landlords owning dogs and expecting all tenants to accept their dogs? 32 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Dog Magic Of Yoruba Hunters- Ulli Beier's Story by Ishilove: 6:06pm On Sep 08, 2021 |
pocohantas:How is it bullying? There is something that the dog is sensing that makes it detest this girl you're talkiing about. My Rott who was killed by poison knew the person who killed him and used to be friendly with him before suddenly turning against the fellow. When you waka yeye waka and pick up negativity along the way, the sensitive animals around will pick it up and react. Now this one is the real bullying 16 Likes 1 Share |

Ishilove:There was a day I went to deliver something somewhere and saw about 7 - 10 dogs giving a man on a bike a hot chase. They were all barking. The road was bad so the man couldn't speed up his bike and the dogs were gaining on him He too started shouting. It was a funny sight. Learned later that he sells dog pepper soup 117 Likes 9 Shares |

This just shows our understanding of nature and animals and now a lot of the power we previously held is gone with no evidence of existence because of these stupid foreign cultures and religions I wish we took their technology and not their social norms and religions 26 Likes 1 Share |

But this time she did not recover. Instead she behaved in the most frightening manner. She rolled her eyes, snarled at everybody and foam appeared in her mouth. We could not be sure that she had not developed rabies. Even if it weren’t so, it was obvious that in her present mood she would sooner or later attack people You sure say no be 'ifun okete' he give am chop? I no dey chop dog-meats, but three ekuke don chase me enter river before. I was lucky there were some people close by, I for no know NL at all. 9 Likes 1 Share |

The most interesting thing is that dogs don't eat dog meat, no matter how you garnish it. I had personally tried to trick dogs with dog meat but immediately they smell it, they go away, unlike other animals eat their kind 9 Likes 1 Share |
