Do We Overestimate The Importance Of African Juju? by sholarr12: 5:08pm On Jan 06, 2019 |
Recent reports about pant thefts make me ask the question of whether we overestimate the power of juju. It is reported that female pants are used for money ritual, but is it really true? If only we do not overestimate the importance of African juju, then it is an African man that will be the richest in the world. When I participated in an election in Kwara as a corps member, a guy brought out a nylon filled with juju and was threatening voters, but when the soldiers chased him, he ran. I can go on and on but let me stop here. What do you think? 47 Likes 6 Shares |

Dear son, Let me tell you a story, the title of my story is: What you believe has power over you and what you don't believe has no power over you. In Africa, we have a strong belief system on black magic aka juju. This belief system over the years has been strengthened by accumulated weird experiences of the potency of black magic. Let me share some of my weird experiences with you; from where I came from, there is a local river that never drowns any indigene because any child born in the village performs certain ritual to appease a supposed goddess of the river. The reality is that there have been countless cases of strangers drowning without a single indigene involved A case for the non-believers in black magic like the Europeans and the slave traders who invaded Africa, looting shrines and artifacts in supposedly sacred places without any consequences; let me rephrase again that the African black magic seems to have a rule that only applies to those who believe in it. Recall that the indigenous accomplices of the European invaders were not spared by the African deities; whilst their European counterparts were unharmed. Scene 2, let me also tell you the story of reincarnation that is dominant in almost all African society. I have a cousin brother that I'm older than by just 2months. The story after his birth was that he refused to open his hands and eyes until a chicken was sacrificed and the blood was spilled all over him before he could open his eyes and hands. A native Doctor who was also a relative interpreted it to be that he was a reincarnation of an old relative who was murdered in cold blood. This was also helped by my auntie's strong belief in reincarnation as all her children had varying reincarnation experiences and she knows those her children reincarnated. The same cannot be said of my mother who is a born again Christian and doesn't believe in any such thing. In fact, the only person she believes we can reincarnate is Jesus Christ Since none of us turn out to be Jesus Christ it meant that reincarnation was not meant for us To be continued...... 94 Likes 6 Shares |

Trash Where was your juju when the white man came and destroyed the shrines and carted away artefacts, and forced a religion onto your ancestors? Human illusion plays it all. It's all in the head. 128 Likes 16 Shares |

Juju is real but for me juju has no importance,its as useless as useless. only people who use it overestimate its importance and because psychology is so powerful so whatever you believe works for you, the key word there is 'believe'. 15 Likes 1 Share |

This is the type of thought provoking topics that should always grace the NL front-page. First of all, I will like to unequivocally and expressly state it that there is no single evidence to the potency of charm, juju or voodoo. This is the social media age - a single well-recorded and provable video will do justice to the skepticism that is around these things. Shey e hard nih? Record a video of yourself flying without a parachute. Look for a well trained Nigeria soldier test his AK-47 on you and survive. Record these things ; upload on YouTube and become an internet sensation. Also, they don't USE anyone for money. The closest explanation to the incessant arrest of people with body parts is the "illegal sale of human organs". I'm not a savvy of biology or physiology but I'm sure your body excrete can be used in assessing the functionality of your body systems or parts. They steal those pants probably to make sure if the pants owner is biologically okay for their human organs sale. The pants issue could also be an overblown media uproar - might not be true. 65 Likes 6 Shares |

There is nothing real about juju. In fact, all instruments of religion including African juju, Christian prayers, Islamic prayers are all powerless. Same as the gods behind each of the practices. 25 Likes 5 Shares |
