Failed state

EmmyMaestro:
Long but interesting read, Abeg type the rest if you can

My brother, too many things to type. Many Nigeria come to the public to say these things are hoax, but they go behind to patronize a juju priest. Things dey o. When the devil gives you anything, there will be something he takes from you that will make you less of a human, sometimes only known to you. For instance, a man instructed to be sleeping with his daughter, or a wife the son. In fact, there was a family where both was being practised, father-first daughter, mother-first son. The last born, a girl, has caught them in the act on some occasions. They tried hushing her but she couldn't take it. The thing in this case was that the children were talked into the act by their parents. They eventually agreed because the parents convinced them they had suffered enough poverty. Now when the money started coming, they all didn't want to stop. Even though the boy had married, was always visiting to knack his mum. The thought of the act is enough to drive someone to depression. You can bet that those children will never have a healthy romantic relationships with their partners. Pally, things dey happen, money ritual is real and comes in diverse ways.

oweniwe:
What would you say about so called mercy soap?

What is that? A goodluck soap/charm? If yes, then it is still part of the money ritual setup, only God can give you a sorrow-free gift.
Sometimes they get charm to sell market, or to attract goodluck. Las las, it is a form of ritual. If the flow is gradual, then the price may be less- but for sure, there is a price. It may be such that you won't even be able to associate it with the ritual early.

EmmyMaestro:
Those that have experience should come and tell us

Let me try, but make sure you keep an open mind. Don't come asking this question with a predetermined resolve to discredit any postulation/hypothesis/theory/experiential knowledge, etc.

When you do money ritual, one common thing is this: the spirits gather all the monies you are supposed to gain in future, and spread it over the time you are allotted by the giver (devil). For instance, if you are supposed to live for 70yrs, and you are 20, and all through the remaining 50 yrs of your life you are supposed to amass 10b. If you do money ritual, the devil may decide to cut your life to 10 instead of 50. Meaning that on the average you will be given 1b every year, and once it is 10 yrs from then, you die.

Now, on the cause of your life, you will be asked to perform various sacrifices. For instance, you donate a woman's womb evey 2 months. The sacrifice will open up the tap of money and it keeps rushing, a time may come when womb is no longer able to open that tap, then you will be asked to perform a harder sacrifice, say kill the women. If you do, then it keeps rushing once again. With time, a yet harder task, like killing your own, then 2 women every quarter. And on and on.

Sometimes the devil will also scam you. When it just feels you should not be given the money, they will set you up and you will get caught in the act, either after committing the act, or about to. Thereafter, you will either be killed by a mob, or end up in jail. There is so much to say about the formats that I can spend hours with talking about it.

How the money comes.
Also, different formats. First they find your job (just the same way God blesses people), and cause people to come rushing up patronage on you. If you are a contractor, you will just receive calls some places you never applied for a contract, then they will regularise your papers and give you the contract. If you sell wares, for instance supermarket, restaurant, or boutique. You will just realise that once you put up goods for sale, people will just come and buy, no matter the price tag.

In some cases spirits are sent to buy from you. In other instances people's who originally wouldn't buy from you will just be led to you. That is why you see some people regret buying some items sometimes, either because they planned to buy, or the price was too exhorbitant for them. Such that in their right mind, they would never have bought it. But because they had the money, the demons will just influence them to buy from that particular person.

Check when fake pastors do ritual. It simply draws people to their church. Some of those people are not humans. You will see a church grow from it 20-30 members to 4,000 in one month. The very day the fake pastor break the rule, he won't know how his church will just go back to 10 members the next sunday.

You see the people who claim to be yahoo. The demon goes to the 'client' and take over their mind. So, whatever the yahoo boy tells them, they will just do.
Another format is this. If the person doesn't have any handwork, no knowledge of any business, and not educated. The demons may decide to supply him raw cash. This is the type that you hear that something is vomiting money for the person. If you use a human who is rendered useless and kept somewhere in the house, the money will be vomited by the vessel. Raw cash.
Once a man did this type, once in a while, a man or woman he doesn't know will somehow come and drop a bag of money for him.

Sometimes they will come drop a bag and tell him to please look after it for them to check something and come back, and they will never come back. When the man becomes worried after not seeing the owner, he may decide to check the content of the big bag, and then will see wads of currency. This usually happens during the first encounter. Subsequently, the person would have been schooled by the priest.

This was the format known to native doctors in the past. But just as people are getting sophisticated in money laundering, the native doctors now learn how to also incorporate money ritual into their clients' business to avoid suspicion from the public.

It is good to note the following:
1. For the people who receive raw cash from demons, these monies are aggregated sums of monies stolen from the hands of innocent, weak-spirited humans. If you are a victim, your money will just disappear without trace. After unsuccessfully looking for it, you will just find some excuses to either blame yourself for being carless, or you accuse people you live with. One I had a friend whose father told them when he was young a water spirit wanted him to marry her. he was very rich. When he refused, the spirit started stealing his money. Because he was living with no other but his younger brother, he accused him of being the thief, and eventually, sent him out of his house. But unfortunately, his money kept missing. It was then the spirit revealed that she was the thief and promised to continue until he agrees to her proposal. Once he married her, the theft stopped. He married her before he married my friend's mother, his human wife.

2. Once you do money ritual, you eat your future, once it is finished, your life goes in. If for any reason you stop along the line and get delivered somehow, you only have the crumbs left of your destined wealth. This means you will most likely remain a pauper for life. You will be lucky to have your life. There are circumstances where you can still live relatively comfortable.

3. Once you do money ritual, the devil will make you in most cases to live a wasteful life.

4. There is never a money ritual that will not cost you dearly. Once a young lady went to a native doctor to do ritual to travel abroad and be successful. Truly, in no time, someone just came around looking for girls to take to Europe (she is from edo state). She went to him and indicated interest but told the guy she had not money. The guy accepted to take her, with the agreement that she will work and pay up as agreed once she gets there ( I am sure you know the type of work). Once she got there, one of her early clients just liked her and married her, paid up what she owed her oga. Few years later, the oyibo man died and left his estate for her. Now (I mean 2024), she wants to marry a Nigerian man, or any man (but she prefers Nigerian) and settle down, but discovers she doesn't have a womb anymore. She used to carry out a ritual in benin every year, and now she is angry they took her womb (the native eventually told her that was the source of her success) and stopped the sacrifice. But they are now chasing her around spiritually. She prefers peace of mind now to the wealth all around her.

5. Some people have nothing in their future. So, no matter how many rituals they do, they will never make big money.

6. Some people are jus a little better than the people who can never succeed in ritual. Such people will succeed quite alright, and within the cause of their money ritual journey, will attract a total of just about 50-100m. Thinking that the money will always come, they will lavish it. Then the tap will shut, and no matter what else they do, it will amount to zero. They will now revert to abject poverty, such poverty that usually lead some of them to suicide, or being set up by demons when they try so hard to do another ritual, which will either land them in jail or in the grave.

My fingers are paining me.

Lioness5280:
How did they murder him? . You believe in the witchcraft they claim is tradition?

Lol, in their community, if a wife cheats, and the man eats her food, he dies. So, if the death of the man was caused by the woman's act of infidelity, and she committed that with another man, is it not ok to conclude that they killed him? The worse for them is that they were caught in the act.

booblacain:
This is not exactly a Tinubu's government issue. This is just the way we are as a people. That is why when the rest of the world were documenting and writing down their histories, we were over here telling folk tales to our children.

This one will also come out of that meeting to tell us folk tales.

Folktale is good, a part of our culture. It should not in any way contend with history/reading/writing.

They won't because they are still owing them, and still hoping to borrow more to steal. If dem abuse IMF and IMF come ask for the money wey dem dey owe as dem still dey power, how dem go come do?

Somebody who is stylishly avoiding embarrassing sack. Trump will be glad to receive your resignation bro.

LocalFARMERS:
As at early last year, the price of Goat head in Kaduna is 1,500 naira. But as at today, Goat head is 2,500 naira in Kaduna. The present economy situation has forced price of Goat head to go high.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMSoRXaRScQ

Come on, goat head for 2,500 is very very cheap. So since last year till now it has not even increased by 100% while some food items have increased by up to 500% or more. Haba, Tinubu try for this one, he is a goat head champ.

Was he not the crook that defrauded Cosmos Maduka? The culture of celebrating riches in Nigeria, irrespective of its sources, has destroyed the society.

Lioness5280:
The husband is dead, what is their offense? . Will this wake him up?. She has moved on now, others must accept this and keep it moving as well. Life is too shot

I said exactly what you said. But on a second thought, I realised both of them killed him. So they are being disgraced for committing murder/.

AntiChristian:
Future country.

If it is a future country, then they should be left to 'breaf' for now. Meanwhile, the focus is 'bongo', the politicians have killed it.

I grouped Deji with the likes of Femi Kayode long ago, but the statement he made about Wike last time was truth, and nothing but that. He may not be very different from the said Wike though, given the same opportuniy.

AntiZikist:
And you believe the condemned inmate statement ?

This is what the police refer to as "after thought".

I believe there's more to this story and I am not buying this guy's account at all.

FYI, such a case will not be prosecuted in court by the Police. Instead it will be prosecuted by the Lagos State ministry of justice through the DPP office. The DPP won't arraign someone for such serious offense without conclusive proof and evidence that they will get a conviction. That's why after the first court arraignment before a magistrate court by the investigative police office, the case file is sent to the DPP for advice and prosecution. Most times the DPP will review the first police investigative report and review the initial charges when they see that there is no case before filing fresh charges before a competent court.

How come this guy's case still went to trial and he even claims he had no legal representation.

I smell bullshit.

The guy is simply looking for public sympathy and a retrial.

This is another more serious mmseonoma case in the making.

You made the following points which may have some truths regarding this matter:
1. The guy may not be telling the world the truth
2. He may be doing all.these to whip up public sympathy
3. There may be more to this story.


But again, your assertion that it is not possible for him not to have a legal representation may not be true. In Nigeria, that is possible.

aariwa:
Never believed anybody would be worst (if there is anything like worstest add it) than buhari but today we have seen a man worse than him..the jagaban of failure, harbinger of renewed shame, fraud and shege on his bitter supporters. Awalokan tinubu is going to teach Igbos politics (failure) lol

When he advised buhari to 'print more money' was when I confirmed he has nothing to offer this country. He lacks understanding of simple economics. And to think of a person of such level who had led a state got me wondering. I concluded he never ran any show himself, except stuff like giving orders to eliminate people, and to steal state resources. Now he is doing those on a very large scale. It is shameful

Villa12:
eranko. Awon omo irankiran

Meaning?

AntiChristian:
Land/Soil of the Igbos = Alaigbo!

Is that a country?

Caseless:
The case should be revisited. Miscarriage of justice is the highest injustice anywhere in the world.

As for those who would call Nigeria for something like this, it happens even in America,too.

You mean there is ever a case in Nigeria where 5 people were caught and 4 said the fifth guy was innocent and the Judged freed the 4 and sentenced the fifth to death by hanging? Please send me a link make I read am. Just curious.

AntiChristian:
This guy why is it that you always fish out bad news about Nigeria but never for once fish out bad news from alaigbo?

Ah ah, which country is 'alaigbo' please? Because someone cannot come from his own country and be casting our country, we go show am shege. Tell me the country make I begin search out bad news to counter his own about our great country.

Tellmeastory:
THE UK ANNUAL BUDGET IS 2 TRILLION DOLLARS.

NIGERIA’S ANNUAL BUDGET IS 30 BILLION DOLLARS.

STOP COMPARING APPLES AND ORANGES.

You are right, and UK politicians are 90% corrupt, while in Nigeria, the politicians are just 0.1% corrupt. UK has lots of mineral resources while Nigeria can only boast of human resources. Let them stop this needless comparison jare. Nigeria is far far better than UK.

Yes. I marked this guy bad when he was allegedly playing cashivist games just after he left the office of youth leader or so in pdp.

This worsened with his romance with Sowore.

Then recently he is coming across as a repentant bad person for his alliance with VDM.

But you this talk I just listened to, he is 98% right, Wike is actually worse than he said. Wike is a selfish petty demon.

What sort of LGA name is that?

Skillsnigeria:
1800 for 75cl groundnut oil. I don't know the current price now

That's still cheap sha. When it is 10k then I will know what to say. For now, we are 'enjoying' the crooks.

Foolish entitled politicians. Come on Getat!

ElevationD:
What a pity.

Granted that rice is smuggled everyday, but the allegation seems to be exaggerated.

I do not agree that each car can carry 65 bags of rice. If Soyombo said mini trucks, then that would be understandable. Did he make an error or he did not understand it all?

Hopefully this APC government can allow rice import once again, so that the price of rice can reduce in the markets.

I think he made mistakes in his numbers. Assuming a bag is 100kg, and he said they are bringing in 130,000kg or rice. It means they are bringing in 1,300 bags of rice.

If also there is hard fact that they are using 2,000 cars, it means that the number of cars is more than the number of bags of rice. If each bag is 50kg, then it translates to 2,600 bags of rice. Again, 2,000 cars seems a little too much for each car will transport 0ne and a quater bag. So, I strongly feel his numbers are not.

But I don't blame him, he must not get the numbers right. It may be very true that the criminals are set to smuggle rice tonight, it may even be much more than he quoted.

David was a randy man. he attracted quite some curses to himself, one of which was his own blood sleeping with his wife(ves)/concubines. Absalom fulfilled that curse. The killing of Uriah also attracted its own curse on him.

My advice to humans, whatever be your creed, the bible verse that says 'Whatsoever a man sows, that he shall reap" is alive and active. It just made it's way to the bible not because of anything but for emphasis. It applies to existence itself. Don't think when you repent eventually all your sins will be undone, not, you only receive forgiveness, but the consequences of your actions will wait for you. The earlier you repent the better for you.

Racoon:
"With high inflation drastically [b]reducing the purchasing power [/b]of the naira, their financial challenges have only worsened,”

Even macro-economic companies can't break even recording enormous losses in the trading year due to useless constricting government policies, policy somersaults, yet your warped sense is telling of poor productivity. Do you know how economy works?

The bolded was exactly what he suggested before he became the president. I am not surprised. I am only surprise at Nigerians who are disappointed.

What is the relevance of Okpukpe?

mushroomFarm:
Shame on all Nairaland anti-Trump. Those people were so convinced that Kamala would win as if they would rig the elections for her... Trump seems to know how to beat women in elections 🤔

Now this is why elders would say don't burn bridges, you'd be surprised how often you'll need to cross the same river.

Imagine Zuckerberg, google and those social media/tech giant companies that blocked Trump back then across their platforms forcing him to start his own truth social. Now what goes around has come around.
Like my Nairalander elders would say "The chicken has come home to roost!"

Righteousness might be right after all. These things are not ordinary, Imagine that Trump is always the one coming around each time Israel is in the middle of a war. And the guy no like Iran at all. 🥵

I always laugh whenever I watch the clip of his infamous boasting of how he killed Iranian IRGC general Qasem Soleimani

"He died like a dog"

Don't forget, Trump is so bold that he is the only world leader that challenged Buhari over the unnecessary killings of Christians in the South East and Southern Kaduna. He said to the old hag "Why are you killing Christians in Nigeria?"
Baba almost piss piss for body.😀

Bro, refer to the bolded. You are talking about people who did it and succeeded in Nigeria. It is just a matter of 'replicating the template in America' they would think. I have quarrelled with my peeps in USA because I am solid rock behind Trump. They called him racist but I call him a true patriot. I am just super happy for him because the will of the people cannot easily be sold over there.

People don't really know the world cabal and forces (such orgs like WHO and CNN) against Trump. I can really say that his dexterity, with God's help, gave him this victory.

was is not the same country their president died through the same means? Theyshould pay attention to some details I'll suggest.

Abia under Otti is not under siege, but it will take Otti some more years to unwrap the cocoon of slavery and poverty Orji Uzor initiated, consolidated by/through T.A. Orji, and strengthened tough Ikpeazu. It's 24 years people, Otti will only set the stage for his successor, only if that one will have the people in mind.

Useless people, this is just part of the way they still milk and impoverish Nigerians, by asking them to go write Toefl, and co. This is the reason I will not bother travelling to any country that tells me to prove to them I can speak English after they have acknowledge my certificates aquired in English
