Hello Nairalanders

Has anyone had experience with spirit at night while sleeping? Please share your experience, let's learn.

Yes, was happening to me when I was a teenager. Did all sorts to make it stop, but no way. The worst is that I won't even be able to utter a word when the thing is on me. It happens if I sleep with my face down, the reason I only slept then with my face up. But the moment I gave my life to Christ, I didn't even pray about it, it just stopped, till today.

When I served in Cross River, one of us, a male copper, was sleeping with this small girl, really small girl, the type I should tag Child Abuse. She was one of his students I think (secondary school).
One day, the girl's mother travelled and left her alone at home. Both conspired for the guy man to come sleep over. My people, that Calabar 'winch' something attacked and pressed the guy at night. He was distressed as that seemed to be his first time of experiencing such.

By morning, he narrated his experience to his girl friend who blamed the guy for not telling immediately he had the experience. According to the girl, once you get up from that oppression, if you rush outside, towards your window or so, you'll see the 'winch' running away, naked. (I been never hear this one before).

The story no end there. Since that day, the demon had access to the guy and would now visit him in his lodge. The guy was so perplexed that he had to open up to me one day when I visited him and noticed he was struggling to sleep during the day while I was with him.

He said his worst nightmare at that time was that the 'winch' now attacks him even during the day, once he closes his eyes in sleep. Meaning he stays awake all night, and during the day, the demon seems to be in front of him watching his eyes, as soon as they are shut, the experience starts. It didn't matter his sleeping position, even if he was sleeping on a chair. Mine had to be only in the night, and I had to be sleeping face down.
I pitied him. He was miserable.

I don't know how he sorted himself out. He was a marijuana smoker then, and an atheist. But I learnt he turned Christian some years back. That experience almost drove that guy mad. It's never a sweet experience.

If oil remains at $2 per barrel for like two years.
What resource is our government going to "diversify" the economy with?
Nigerians should be careful what we wish for, you need infrastructure to diversify an economy, the infrastructure needed is currently inexistent in the country; our current earnings will ensure that such infrastructures are put in place.
The same leaders that couldn't diversify the economy with the little Petro dollars they are getting, talk more of when it dries up.
They will just throw the country into an insurmountable debt trap with more intense borrowing, loot everything and officially declare Nigeria bankrupt and start calling for international aid and debt cancellations.
And we the masses will just be moving from one level of suffering to another through all the charade.

At least, after the bankruptcy declaration, the money to loot would have dwindled. Anything to stop these looters.

TheEffective:


Oil price will definitely rise above what it was was pre Pandemic due to increasing demand as countries reopen and begin energy consumption.

This will give the nation's economy enough time to absorb or recover from the shock or loss. Then we can begin the process of a gradual diversity of the economy. It's a process not a emergency. The relevance of oil is still superior to renewable energy.

I doubt if any country will need more petroleum post-pandemic than it needed pre-pandemic.
My prediction is that the countries will start shifting away from the use of oil. If Nigerian has sense, it should know that this is the beginning of the end of era oil crude oil. I had advised Nigeria and Nigerians about this some years back.

Na wah oo, wonder how they got into our database sef

My brother, this has confirmed to me that they do.

And so this scammer 0815.909.57.17 called me yesterday and announced she was calling from Access bank and asked if I have heard access bank was paying 30k into their customers' account. I said no and feigned excited.

She went ahead to ask for my number so she could set my account up for the 'awoof'. I asked why she should be asking for my account number since she confirmed she works with access bank.
She responded by saying that where she was she couldn't access my account hence the need to get it directly from me. I played along. Then I told her my account number wasn't handy.

She then asked 'what about your Stanbic account number, do you have that one?'. See me see wahala o, so from Access bank you go come set up my account for Stanbic? Continue.
Since she was that dumb, I decided to go dumb with her. From the onset, I actually knew she was a scammer. Then I offered to give her my third bank account number. I asked if that would do and she said yes.

I just wanted her to keep wasting her credit. I called out my account number and I guess she confirmed it OK.

Before I contibue let me inform you that if they have all they need to scam you, then there's no need of calling you. They want you to supply some information to complete the scamming loop. For most Nigerian banks transactions, it's the OTP.

Please, if you don't know what I know, don't try this at home. End any call that requests you give out your banking information over the phone hi one, go to the bank instead to supply such information.

So she called back and told me she was going to send me a text, that I should send that number back to her to complete the setup. I asked, 'you will send me a text and I will give you the same code abi?' She said yes. OK continue fooling yourself.
She generated the OTP and called me back to send it to her. I asked her to call back lemme write out the number. Twas 6 digits so when she called back I formulated a 6-digit number and called out for her. 100115.

She dropped the call. After some seconds she called back and said the number was wrong. We started arguing as I told her that was the number she sent. Then after some back and forth, I admitted I made a mistake, then I have her 100116. This time, her accomplice,ol or she, was on the system and she told me it was wrong. I insisted that was the number she sent me. As we argued I guess she felt the code had expired, then I saw a new OTP.

I cut the call. She called back, and what I would do was pick the call and mute it. She later called with another number 0806.69.467.79 and I picked. She said network was 'worrying her' on the other line. I started doing same to her. I entered a meeting and wouldn't stop. Pick the call and press the mute button. She stopped after about 15 attempts.


Kayode (as she introduced herself), or whoever you are, may thunder scatter everything you will ever manage to gather in this life, unless you repent and restitute for all hardworking Nigerians you've defrauded of their hard earned money.

May you reap whatever you sow in this life.

No, let him not relax the lockdown. By the way, which money will they use to buy food and medicine, the one he shared to the residents? Nigeria, a land where politicians are more powerful than the people who empowered them, a theater of some sort.

The judgment has simply been Rigged.
Fresh trial indeed, why not Kuku aquit him of all charges. The fresh judgement will be ready to be delivered perhaps after 10 years. If not in his favour, the appeal court will rule after another 10 years or so (if he still lives). If still not in his favour, Supreme Court court will hold back judgement because he would have died of "natural causes" before they are ready.

Scam of a country.

My wife bought two tubers of yam for N1000 each at Rainbow market on Wednesday, a day before Port Harcourt total lockdown.
I took the tubers to the car. She changed her mind and decided to add one more tuber, when she got back to the seller, he inflated it to N1,500, (it wasn't up to 5 minutes she bought the first set) . She felt exploited of course and didn't make the purchase.

Later that same day her friend came around. She told her friend how market women were doing shakara- how ugu was sold for N200 per small bunch and the sellers will curse you if you dare haggle price with them the way they don't like. Buyers were at their mercy.

Then her friend shared her own experience. Told of how a tomato seller insisted that she doesn't sell shombo alone, it has to be alongside tomatoes. Meaning, if you're not buying tomatoes, you can't buy the pepper. Another woman called her to come buy the pepper at cut-throat price.

The panick buying caused all this. Las Las, we dey the lockdown together.
Share your experience if any Biko. Na here we dey.

I personally don't subscribe to this. But, if it's actually for the 'greater good', fine.

The Rivers State Governor has announced
that there'll be total lockdown in Obio-Akpor and PHC LGAs, the major urban centres of the state, from Thursday.

What happens in reality is that people migrate from lockdown areas to relatively unrestricted areas, thus making those areas to be crowded. Man must wack.

People should only be made to wear protective gears and go about their businesses, failure which attracts some sanctions. Locking down everywhere will only grow lack and hunger. Just my opinion sha.

Her life. Sometimes in life what you like is what the society generally abhors. Because you don't want to look odd, you indulge in those things in secret.

Keep cautioning her.

If it's her life, beat her as you like, she will grow with it. And when she does, even if you don't like it, she'll still do the thing, only perhaps in secret.

Come on, but some pregnant women not only like perceiving such stuff, they like eating them.
One leaves her food to go sour, then consume at that state. Another would want to perceive another person's poo. She'll tell her husband to poo on a paper and she'll sit by the toilet door and relish the smell as much as she wants. Yet another will get dry shit and hold it close to her nose. With these cases of pregnant women matter, I wouldn't agree 100% with anyone that it has any negative health implication.

My advice? Just keep scolding her like we scold a child who sucks his lips, some eventually grow with it, and it is their life.

Thank God the son said he exhibited symptoms of covid

So the news of that shack costing N7B is true? The actions of our politicians are becoming so brazen. I see a revolution loading in this country.

I doubt this story. Please show us everything done with the money.

I doubt this story

70 days from today you mean? Is it not more than 70 days since people started dying in China?

paulGrundy:
honestly the Bible never support any form of homosexuality it baffles me when people identify as gay Christians because there's no such thing as that . if you are a
Christian you can never be gay

You know some people would always want a reason to do what they want.

topcatking:
Let God be the Judge.

He has already, we all need to obey His commands.

paxonel:
what if a believer indulge in homosexuality or any sin at all is this scripture suggesting that the Christian or believer will not inherit the kingdom of God?

No man who does a sinners will inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 New International Version (NIV)

9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men
10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

topcatking:
Why not let God be the judge?

For a scripture that is clear?

Sometimes I hear people, even some 'clergy' say: 'that is their sexual orientation, God created them that way, bla bla bla. And then I wonder if they have a different interpretation to I Corinthians 6:9-10.
The Bible clearly states it. Except if they are not bible-reading church goers. Or is it the normal devil's strategy of blindfolding people? Na wa o!

God's wish for everyone He created is to be free. Any man who shies away from this is the architect of his own bondage. Shalom.

I'm not surprised you are inclined to believing a known schizophrenic coward secessionist

Even mad people tell sane people the truth sometimes. Seriously, I used to think so of Islamic burials, and I thought it better than spending millions on caskets.

The challenge I have with Nigeria sometimes is that some of these speculations turn out to be the truth. I thought Muslims are usually buried wrapped in mats, I only saw casket, or perhaps I didn't see the whole thing? Time is a neutralizer.

A lot of things thought to be 'unbelievable' has been happening in Nigeria lately. I wonder what next.

Isiukwuato people should handle that.

Waiting to confirm this news before I talk.

I'll talk if this is true. For now, mba!

Which one be small pepper? You it's everyone, even in Nigeria, that likes pepper? I don't. And if I taste a food and it's that spicy, I'll just thank you and wash my hands. Unless when I know it's peppery and decide to eat it-'like pepper soup. But then, I'll have be prepared for that.

So oyc is the deciding party in SE?

Thank God I didn't read "maid poisoned..."

They should work to replace the "valuables". She may be caught, but the 'valuables' wouldn't come back in one piece, police will cut from any recovered, after they have extorted the family in the namr of 'money to pursue the case'.

No be this country?
