How I got into drugs. That faithful day, I went to town without getting a permission(boarding house) Some seniors saw me, and decided to bully me, knowing if I report them, I'll also be in trouble for not getting permission to go to town. They gave me cigarette, forced me, beat me up, and so on. Then I really wanted to revenge, so I went to lautech ,( my former school father was now in lautech, ) I went to report those guys, so he can help me deal with them, but unfortunately,i met my school father, who was a very good student in sec school smoking weed, and he offered me, which I collected and tatsed..... It was so light and so different from the heavy cigarette. Before I knew, I shouted out loud I AM HAPPY!!!!!!!! THE HAPPINESS WAS HUGE. My brothers and sisters, that was the beginning of the editing of my destiny by the devil (I Thank God The devil Did Not Win Over My Destiny, God Showed Up For Me, And Had Mercy On Me) To cut the long story short, I loved the experience, and after secondary school, I realized most of my friends at home, who went to day school were also smoking, so after secondary school, as we went for parties we smoked and enjoyed it, we saw it as something good, we said it was the tree of knowledge that adam ate.... I even recorded a song titled "don't blame it on my ganjer" the song reigned in those popular demand CDs those days...etc..... I was a lover of weed, I wasn't just smoking it, I felt it was a good thing. |

Fast Forward, I entered into university. The first thing I wanted to do was smoke smoke and smoke, freedom to smoke anyhow, no need to go to one uncompleted building or one joint.... Now I can freely smoke in my room, in my compound.... Wow.... Let me fast forward, by 300level, I realized I was smoking everyday and couldn't control myself, except I went home. As a very good looking fellow, I realized my good looks were disappearing , so whenever I went home, I won't smoke, and within few days, my good look comes back. But before you know, I couldn't stop smoking even when I was at home. After university, I got a teaching job, and by then , I was a chronic addict.... I taught things were so bad, I didn't know I was enjoying.... By then,as I was about to go from frying pan to fire, I wanted to stop drugs.... It was obvious things weren't right. By now, I had given my life to christ, but not in totality, because weed was like a god to me , I needed to stop and get my life back on track... Note ; I smoked every day, morning, afternoon night, midnight.... Next is the story of frying pan to fire.... |

On that faithful day, my best friend in smoking, came to my house, and said I should see him off to one of our big area bros house (big bros Na yahoo agba, so his house is always full of flexing Everytime, with many people). On getting there, they were smoking something different, they called it "loud loud" which later became popularly known as colos. To cut the long story short again, weed became a thing of the past, and I started smoking Colo.... Initially ,I tot weed was expensive, I spent like 1k a day...... Then I knew I was in trouble, because colos isn't no cheap Drug, I found myself spending 5k per day, and then 10k perday.... 3k for morning ,one bag,thinking will do for the whole day, by afternoon, 3k colos is finished, go for another hoping to last the day, but by night, it's finished, I can't sleep, I need another. My first year of smoking colos, within 4months, I calculated that my broke self had spent millions on smoke. By this time, I cry, real tears , almost everyday, begging God that I want to stop this thing.... I couldn't. It was ruining my life.... From a chubby fellow, all of a sudden , I became lean. No appetite to eat sef....... As I'm typing this I'm wondering in my mind, wow, am I really giving this testimony ?Wow, thank you Jesus Christ, I tot my life was finished, how will i stop this thing......😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 |

There Is this church in Ibadan, the proohets name is prophet Adetuberu, I watched many drug addicts being delivered in his church , so I went there also to be delivered, they did deliverance for me, hmmmm. It's well, maybe my heart was just too hardened, or I was jazzed to keep smoking, i dis not understand, because even in the church ,after the deliverance, I knew I was going straight to smoke.... The urge was just so there.... Note...I believe that man is a true man of God, my younger sister got her broken hand healed in his church.... I wonder why my case was different. |

Furthermore, Hmmmm,... I had heard about iboga for many years, but since it wasn't in Nigeria,and it was very expensive online, $4,500 , I didn't think about it.... But by this stage of my life, I knew I had to find a solution..........by fire and by force.... Sincerely speaking, I doubted anything in this life could make me stop smoke, due to all trials, but the testimonies I saw online were so touching..... These are people addicted to cocaine heroin opioid and so on., And I didn't see one single person that said it did not work for them..... I said in my heart , I am going to Gabon, by all means , my story must change, how will it be said, that I came to this life to smoke ?No o! I made the journey, I prayed , begged God to favour me, and he favoured me, it was sold to me at a cheap price,compared to the $4,500 I was seeing on line..... I got back home.... Hmmmm. Smiles..... I'll gist you my experience using it, next... |

To the stage at which I was in love with smoke..... I started doubting the iboga that I bought for quite an expensive price.... The first day, instead of using the iboga, I said ,let me enjoy my last smoke, the next day, instead of using the iboga, just like a curse, I said again, haaA, Na so I go just stop, let me enjoy it today again for the last day(can you imagine me?)...hmmmm... The world of an addict. Note, nothing less than 10k colos a day, mind you , I sold things to smoke very well also.... I sold all the irons in my compound, sold my phone several times to smoke..... BONDAGE... EVEN UNTO THE third day after having iboga, instead of using it, I said today again is the last day , now that third day, by 1am in the night (I usually smoked all night long) all my smoke had finished, and in the instance, I won't be able to sleep, my eyes will be wide open till morning,where the first thing I will do is go and buy smoke. But that night, I felt the morning was too long, and decided to use the iboga once and for all, I was still doubting it will work.. Anyway, I used it😊 20grams of iboga bark root. I was wondering what experience I'd have, they said one might experience hallucinations, well, I didnt experience any hallucination, Within 3 hrs of using it, I started purging, going to the toilet, and I was vomiting..... I was very testy, and the more I drank water, the more I vomited, and I was going to the toilet every 5 to 20mins apart, I knew the herb was surely flushing my system of all toxicity. By the next morning, I was feeling stronger, and to my surprise, no single urge to smoke.... I didn't wanna believe it, as in, me , the highest addict ever, even when I had malaria i still smoked, I smoked all year long, I once laid a curse one time that if I smoke this and that should happen to me, then I'll beg God For making such careless statement.... Nothing ever worked, even as much as I doubted the iboga, the doubt didn't stop it from working. I had already written on paper, the things I want to stop and the things I want to start, as a new life style , and by the grace of God I followed through with everything, my first assignment was to read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, which I did, I just became an action person, no more procrastination.... My Brian cells were refreshed, dopamine and serotonin on point ... There is no sweet way to end this story, order than to say, till today, my mouth hasn't touched smoke or alcohol. I want to give all the glory to God Almighty, because he's the one that created this plant for me, I'm sure he had me in mind , when he created this plant in the beginning of the world.... God is so good. These pharmaceutical companies making cigarette , cocaine and so on will never want iboga to be popular, or they try to say bad things about it to scare people off.... Iboga is a gift from God. I bought a few extra grams from Gabon, to help one or two people, who might not have the financial power to travel,... (What app only) 09016710080 Once it's sold off, I can give you my link in Gabon to purchase yours..... |

I know some people who have died from drugs, how I wish they knew about this, even I should have been wasted today, just for God's grace,..... If you know any soul going through what I went through, kindly refer them to my story, there's still hope for them. |

tobby20:My brother that thing was a real curse.... The first time I saw the word Drug addict, and asked for the meaning, it didn't make sense to me, I felt, am I not the owner of my body? If i don't want to do something again and I won't do it.... Hmmmm I thank God Sha.... Right now, I'm so close to my God, I don't want anything to separate us at all, in this end time . I'm glad this day came, that im testifying. I'd be so glad to see many people saved also. Drugs is a destiny destroyer.... .. It's well. |

tobby20:Everyday was always the last day.... I'm so grateful Bro, I was seeing my destiny being .....hmmmm I thank God.. One thing I realize is , I've seen many families, who claim to love their addicted member, but they never go the extra mile to help them, they just feel, it's their life and decision..... Just as in my case, now I'm the bread winner, will I have been able to support today , if I remained like that? When a person has great glory,..... Drugs is one of the thing the devil tries to introduce to them..... Ive seen great destinies , destroyed by drugs. To me, that colos is very very very very evil..... In fact there's like an evil spirit attached to it, because I remember I had some very bad trip , like struggling with a demon, I'm sure you've experienced it before. |

Mysteriousworld:I appreciate the FACT that you shared your addiction story here. I was wondering if the Iboga can take care of those who take methamphetamine (meth). I've known about "Ibogaine" for some years now through Drew Pinsky and other sources and it's use in it's native country of Gabon for religious purposes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itVIZAAiCIk?si=Z0cNv4yi6fMoMWkM There have been reports of people selling FAKE Iboga powder to people, so, folks have to be careful NOT to buy fake products. I have watched many YT videos and read medical articles on Iboga's effectiveness and even have a special Iboga folder on one of my laptops as a future resource to help anyone. By the way, how did you (I assume you are based in Ibadan) get to Gabon and how much did it cost you to do so? Being a French-speaking country, how were you able to navigate the communication barrier in Gabon. I'm glad you were able to get the original Iboga and are okay now. I look forward to your feedback. Enjoy the rest of your day. Ciao. |

Konquest:Nice questions bro... First of all, the shamans understand English, most of their clients are from English speaking nations... And the Europeans and Americans made it expensive, as they pay in Euros and dollars. I won't lie to you, I prayed very well for favour before going, I kept listening to Apostle Joshua Selmans message on "the grace called favour" , because there was every possibility that I would have wasted my transportation going and not being able to achieve anything,due to the high cost, I was indeed favoured, I've not even finished paying for what I bought, when I got back to Nigeria, the man called me, and I could sense, he was wondering if i used jazz for him, because they don't sell that cheap, neither do they sell on credit, so for the cost, it's was simply grace, I found favour in their eyes. In terms of transportation, it's still grace, I went by road, not by air.... Very dangerous journey, I slept on the road, not hotel(didn't have money for hotel). It was a foolish journey, but I held on to God's grace.... And favour. Before I left Nigeria, I procrastinated for a whole week... And I said that's what makes a man a man... I naturally love adventures, so I brainwashed myself that I was embarking on an adventure... A Nigerian (aboki) at the Cameroon Gabon bother played a great role in helping me locate the particular farmer I bought from. |

Mysteriousworld:@mysteriousworld I appreciate your feedback here. Indeed I observed that the Gabonese guide who took Drew Binsky to the Iboga woman in the vid I posted here has a good command of English. I would suggest that you preserve some of your Iboga for any of your future use though since it's a bit expensive. It was already vibrationally programmed for you to get a final solution to your addiction and it gladens me to read here that you went to Gabon and found favours through the Northern Hausa guy who guided you to get what you wanted in Gabon. I was worried when I read an article last year about FAKE Iboga being sold because just like you said, the Europeans and Americans are rushing to buy it. The young gentleman on whose NL thread I first saw your posts today unfortunately rejected your Iboga offer because he indicated he doesn't have enough money to spend but he is mistaken by NOT trying it out. He is indeed an educated guy though and I will try to bring his attention to that Iboga again so he can try it out. Will power which he is emphasizing on is part of the equation, BUT that alone is NOT enough. I actually emphatized with him over his experience and hope he gets well and moves on with his life. I have always advocated for the death penalty through the electric chairs, lethal injections, or hangings to deal with these criminals drug barons and drug traffickers from Nigeria because they are destroying the fabric of society with the sharp increases in violent armed robberies, rapes and domestic violence due to hard drugs intakes. Just in 2023 again, another drug barons was arrested in the elite Victoria Garden City estate in Ajah area of Lekki Peninsula. He (just like the more than 20 drug barons from Anambra State claiming to be millionaire traders at Alaba International and elsewhere that had been arrested for over 20 years now by the NDLEA for producing methamphetamine in illegal labs in many housing estates in Lagos, Ogun, Asaba, Nnewi, Ozubulu, Obosi, Ihiala, etc) was arrested in his VGC mansion where the illegal laboratory was discovered. The NDLEA had to issue a STRONG warning to the Victoria Garden City estate residents especially within 500 meters of the criminal's mansion NOT to use the underground water from their boreholes again because of underground water contamination from the HIGHLY toxic cancer-causing toxic waste products from the methamphetamine laboratory which they usually pour and bury right into the ground. The Federal Government of Nigeria has already seized the VGC mansion from that criminal though and he has been sentenced to jail time along with his accomplices who sold the methamphetamine made in that VGC estate mansion around areas in Lagos State and for export. Aside from the VGC estate arrest, Satellite Town, Ajao Estate, Iba New Site, Ibeju-Lekki are other areas where these criminal drug barons from different areas in Anambra claiming to be millionaire Alaba International Market traders have been arrested by the NDLEA over the last 20 years for producing methamphetamine in illegal laboratories in Lagos State alone! Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, etc, that are advanced economies are NOT stupid for using death penalties to control the criminal drug trafficking because they know it would have destroyed the social fabric of their countries. |

Konquest:In addition... What gingered me to travel and seek solution was this, I used to be fat, I then became very lean. Then a family member who lives abroad, had a dream about me, that he saw me, I was looking soooo lean and unkept, and I was under a tree, smoking and homeless, and my son was beside me looking unkept too.... Omo, that his dream is one of the things that changed my life o.... The dream scared me, because in real life I was lean, and he had no idea, but not homeless, I'm still making money(Apostle Joshua Selman is a blessing to my financial life), I should have finished building my house by now if not for money miss management due to drugs. So I felt God was showing me my future if I don't stop drugs.... The dream made me desperate to get a solution(I love my son with my life, he mustn't know me to be a smoker, that will be a bad influence)... Apostle Selmans messages also played a great role, I knew that even though God has good plans for me, theres something called satan who is stealing from me, and in time will try to kill and destroy, as he comes to steal, kill and destroy... ALL THE GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY, WHO CREATED IBOGA IN THE FIRST PLACE. To buttress point on the guy that said will power.... I'll attach my chat with a friend now, he also has will power, but what I noticed about the will power is that sometimes people relapse.... It's not easy, with iboga, im not trying to try, no, it has restored my dopamine and serotonin to a perfect level.... You see, this my friend gave his life to christ and stopped smoking, so we weren't close again, I messaged him this morning, thinking we're now both none smokers, and can therefore be friends again, but unfortunately.... Smiles.... It's well, I'll attach our chat now, I realized there's a limit will power can go for most people(not all, some people have that grace). And yes , those bringing drugs into the country are evil.... How I wish the govt can turn tinapa in Calabar to an iboga center for drug addiction, it will even bring in tourists to the country, as white people just plenty for Gabon villages. |

Mysteriousworld:I googled Apostle Selman and saw he's only 44 as of 2024 and originally from Zaria. I initially thought he's White since I've never heard of him. Thank you for the screenshots and deep insights here. How did you measure your dopamine and serotonin levels? It's interesting too that in that other video you posted on the other thread, the White dude said Ibogaine can be used to treat Parkinson's. Indeed, there comes a turning point in one's life that you end up feeling deeply disgusted with the situation around you. That's when you will begin to make the biggest positive moves in your life. The Gabonese too have to be careful because I read that research is ongoing to see how the active ingredients in Iboga can be extracted in American research labs. They have to protect the biodiversity of their herbal plants such as the Iboga which is said to naturally grow mainly in Gabon. The wealth from Iboga has to be maximized or the benefit of all Gabonese. |

Konquest:Thank you very much boss, very well stated, intelligently stated, everything you said. As for the Apostle Joshua Selman....hmmm I can't emphasize better, that mans ministry has been a blessing to my life, where other preachers tell you to focus only on heaven, apostle made me see that God wants me to prosper, now, he doesn't just preach prosperity or open your eyes to God's truth, but he also has power, not just talks, a blind family member was healed by just connecting online, my wife was healed of a repetitive illness, but majorly, bro, my spiritual and financial life has never been the same since I discovered that man, hes not just a man of God, he's one with compassion and love in his heart, I love the man so much, because you can see it in him that he truly cares. He is very wise, he is the wisest man ive come across, just like Myles Munroe. There are many questions about life and God I used to ask, through this man of God, I have answers to many of these questions... For example, God can say you will be this and that, because God said it doesn't mean you'll be it, spirits can stop you, you also can stop yourself, I understood that as humans, we have a role to play, and prayers are important in a man's life.... A man must be spiritual to be great, you either get powers from evil spirits or the holy spirit. . Don't let me start preaching... God bless you my brother! |
