This doesn't make you sound smart but stupid.
Go and ask your grandparents for part two. They might be able to tell you up to part 15 if they are reasonable people and not driven by the same type of brain in your skull.

The thing come pain you pass op. Are you okay?

Going through the comments, I saw that many don't really understand the point the guy was referring to. His surprise was seeing elder after he's dead, unknown to him that elder his already at the time he saw him last.

CaptMarvel:
Ouch!
There's a big mystery between life and death
If you haven't make peace with God, then you are on your own o.

Death is just a passage from the physical to the spiritual which is the real we!

Even the dead does not know he's dead.

Give your life to Christ,
Jesus loves you.

Even una Christ die so no go there

I remembered when someone died in front of me is not funny the mother was crying chaii the experience was long before I finally forget it

CHIGIM:


Even una Christ die so no go there

seems you're an Atheist.
Jesus died and resurrected and was raised into Glory! And we have billions of witnesses to this and his mighty power in which I'm one.

GoodIsGod:


Do you want him dead?

Are you dead or planning to die?

Stupid people all over Nairaland.

I've not been seeing his posts for a while, erudite dumbo!

GoodIsGod:


Go and suck breast kiddo.

I have seen it live twice.

I have close friends who have seen such. If you are saying it from the Christian view point, that it is demons putting on the image of the dead person, Fine. But to say it doesn't happen, you must be a kid still sucking momma's breast.

Lol na lie the dead can’t see can’t hear can’t talk they are gone forever all those once na rumour

Demonstrate your gods or shut the fuq up forever. Always in the business of guilt producing and fear mongering. 500 years from now, you shall cease to exist... Enjoy the only life you shall ever get.

If this is the ONLY life you shall ever get, I can only pity your life.
The Bible says, "If it is only in this life that we have hope, we are pitiably miserable."
I don't envy the miserable earthly existence you have ignorantly chosen.
You will be alright at last, when you start to roast forever in Hell fire, unless you heed divine warning and repent of living as if there is no heaven to make and a Hell to escape.
Get well soon.
Shalom.

Like I said, always in the business of fear mongering and guilt tripping... I'm not moved, not an inch. Over 1.2 billion Hindus worldwide are not moved and don't a fuq..

Really, the other guy was right. Your comment is an agnostic's at best. Not an atheist's. Perhaps, you are just starting to renounce. Best know which category you belong and stop confusing people.

You will remember that I warned you.

Anyone who says the spiritual does not exist is very naive

Based on what exactly aunty ishi? let me see first before i believe. Mind you, I'm from what you call a "babalawo backbround" and have even seen one in action. Of course, after i left the babalawo joint i went to attempt the trick he performed with the water and perforated tin can.
You see, he filled a milo tin can with water and covered with the lid. The lid was punctured with lots of holes, so many holes that it was basically impossible for the water not to pour out through them.

So, when he turned the can upside down , as expected the water was leaking through the tin can's lid. then after some incantation, the water stopped. As in stopped completely. he spoke again, then the water started leaking again, but this time with a sort of rhythm and in single or double drops. I observed him cautiously as he performed this 'trick'. AS a matter of fact, he saw the doubt and curiosity in my face, after the whole demonstration, he asked me to follow him to his shrine. My mum couldn't enter because, it was forbidden. He said, if she dare try am na dere she go die.

I was expecting to see the red and black clothes etc, he said, he knew what i was expecting to see, and that i should not mind nollywood . Make i no come tell u weytin i see sha, make atheist no con drop dead. Still seeing that i was not convinced, he offered to surmon one of his ancestors for me to see. Now that i think of it, the mahfacker was reading my mind.

When i travelled back home, i attempted to perform the trick but naa... wasn't working. My water was just pouring any how..

Maybe he handled it differently, after all, ive seen wonders on America's Got Talent.


After all this, If i don't do it by myself, it is non-existent.

I guess you guys misunderstand my initial post for god's existence. My point: ask an average atheist and theist without basic knowledge of planetary geology about the craters on the moon, the former would likely say "I DO NOT KNOW" and the latter, "GOD DID IT". Hope you get? And yes, there are people who are agnostic atheists.

ELDER

Saturday,, August 6, 2022

I went to "family house" to reconnect with my neighbours and barb my hair. My barber didn't come in time though the salon was open as early as 8. Other barbers were already at work; but you know the thing with a black man, once he gets a good barber, it's for life (or so it seems at most).

Took a blunt (will quit smoking this year), ate breakfast with my old neighbours, then went to work.

Sunday,, August 7, 2022

Before church, I went down back to the mainland, to trim my beards as I couldn't do that the previous day. While I waited my turn, my neighbour of 22 years, Elder, (God rest his soul), came around.

All our adugbo Bro started teasing him amid heavy laughter (he was loved by all)
"Elder your mama n papa don go morning mass, second mass go start laidis, you no dey go church?

"Elder: As I dey here so, holy spirit dey my body. I be temple laidis, make una no worry.

Immediately he set his eyes on me, he screamed in delight, asked about my family n promised not to leave me unless I do Sunday for him.

Since I have a policy of giving people only what I take ( I don't drink, plus he doesn't roll a joint), I opted to buy him anything else he wanted to eat.

Na so Elder carry me, enter "family house", from fried meats, to indomie to pepper soup, Elder had his fill. Though I didn't know when he took one Budweiser.
He has a thing with drinks. He took one too many after that I guess. I left around evening.

Monday morning woke me up to a draw I won on sports betting that netted me 38k (Argentina Jnr vs Huracen), I went to work late though n dropped by at a warehouse close to my previous home later at noon.

At the warehouse, towards the side where they offload fridges, I saw my manchi, Bro Elder, with his Bongo White trousers n shoes with his worn out suit top. I just greet am dodge, so he doesn't bill me like the Sunday that just finished yesterday. He was saying something about people not remembering him to give him driving jobs. That it was only when we need something that we remember people.

This was around after 1to 2.

Finally got home around 11 pm. As I laid to rest after freshening up, my younger sister screamed from her phone that "brother, my friend say brother elder af die"

I was like how come,?
Wetin you talk?
It's a lie
Are you sure?
Who tell you?
Wetin happen?
...

Elder died at Ojodu Berger, same day at about to 9 in the morning, from a truck that lost its brakes. About four people died on the spot.

He was literally mangled with his insides strewn over the road among the wreckage.

WITH THE SAME CLOTHES I SAW HIM IN DURING 1-2PM!!

Few days, before he was laid to rest, I had a very very vivid dream (if it's truly a dream),

He was angry, called me by my first name and said "Uchechukwu, I no happy. I dey vex". I was glad to see him while muttering "Bro Elder, no vex" till I woke up.

This world has another dimension than what our senses n science defines n shows us.


I dedicate this post to all who passed away painfully this year.

My guy sorry for your man.It is really painful.I lost my brother 3 weeks ago.A yahoo guy hit and three women including a pregnant woman,all died except the yahoo guy.We were not even given a chance to treat our brother in the hospital. He was taken from us.Oh! What a painful death of a married man with little kids.What a world! � � �

Very painful topic......I still remember my dad's death in September. He grew colder in my hands....I can never forget that image.
Rest in peace Father, ur son loves you.

Lost my Father too same September 27 this year.

I've been traumatized by it.

May His Soul rest in peace

macbede:


No, because we spoke that afternoon around 1to2.

I guess you haven't lost anyone really close to you have you?

I guess you haven't been in this position either. Besides, I only greeted him n dodged. He was talking with other people. I only made my greetings brief so as to avoid further billing.

But it's fine. I didn't say you should believe me.

Now off you go. You may bask in your ignorance.

Sorry for your loss sir...rip elder
That's trinity cemetery

Hmm... very interesting.
I believe akudaya does exist.

Now the question is why is it only in Africa that most of experience encounter happen.
There are very rare instances of Akudaya encounter in the West but in Africa almost everyone knows someone who had gone through such experience.

Adewale1603:
of course, spirituality exist in this life, mostly occurs when your loved ones died in such a ghastly way of death or prematurely at a younger age.

I have not personally experience this before o, but i have heard same stories of occurrences from lots of people before, and I believed them, its real and true. if you do not see or experience something personally by yourself before, doesn't mean its not real or true by others that have seen such things. what do they stand to gain by telling lies about it, does it add money into their bank account. but I believe will also definitely experience it someday.

it happens everywhere,just that the whites hardly migrate for greener pastures. Or you think majority of whites in Africa that has refused to return to their countries are legit people.

Eg Lagos is a very busy place,people migrate there in thousands every year,there is possibility of everyone having a relation in Lagos and environ, hence the possibility of seeing similar things during the daily hustling.

But a white family can migrate from one part of the states,say utah to Arizona or California,he gets a good job and drives through the traffic daily to his office,not some busy crowded places,where do you expect him to see such, except in park, shopping mall or some other eventful places he rarely goes.

I guess in the OP’story he is talking about his neighbour who lived closed to him and who didn’t migrate anywhere.
In Africa you find plenty of stories like this, people seeing their dead relative and neighbours who had lived close to them.
Or sometime it could be the dead relative sending someone to visit his family.

I have been in the west for 30 years and never at once heard anyone around me talk about someone in their family or cycle of friends who had seen a dead person.
I have never heard of any dead person sending money or his wife and kids to visit his family.

Stories like this in the west are extremely rare.

That's because people who have such experience are people who moved from other part of the country to the west. These akudayas don't reside where they can easily be seen, they moved to far places.

In the community I schooled,a very popular musician died, this is someone with about 4wives and multiple kids.

Roughly 15 or 20years after his death,a lady from neighbouring African country came to his family house with 3kids to look for his people,telling them how he branched off to greet an old time childhood friend and will soon join them.
Long story short,she was shown his grave and told had died some 15 to 20years ago(can still remember the day this man died and a distant aunt related to him who visits us was crying while breaking the news to my mom,I was live 5 to 6 years old then) she brought photos of them and even the kids are his cabon copy.

My point is these people move far from where they could easily be identified and even at that the world is a small place to hide.

It is the fictitious character you had created in this scenario who doesn’t attend crowded places. A good number of people in the west take crowded subway daily.

You keep talking about migration or people moving far away from where they could be easily identified. That is your theory. But let us stick to the facts in OP’s story. As the subject line indicates, this was his dead neighbour who didn’t migrate nor moved far away.

you are still confused, That's because op wasn't aware of his death few hours earlier.

People not aware of the death so some people within few hours,days or weeks may likely see them at some point(not everyone encounters this stuffs though because every human operates on different frequencies) it is different from seeing someone that you are aware of being dead ages or years ago.

In ops case,he wasn't aware the guy he was dodging was already dead earlier in the day.
If he was,there is no way op would have seen him, certainly not around where those who already knows he is dead lives.

Fair enough. Then back to square one with my question. Why this is phenomenon is prevalent in Africa and almost non existent in the west ? You wouldn't find anyone in the west with firsthand experience. But in Africa, just in one neighborhood, many people would know of someone who had seen a dead person.

pretydiva:
So sorry for your loss. But you said he died around 9am, but you saw him same day around 1-2pm. I'm not understanding this part

Nne that's the mystery of what happened: the fact that his friend had died before OP saw him.

you should have asked why evil prevail in the dark,that's because of the how dark the minds of individual are,that's how dark things around them seems to be.
