SM is not worth the mental exhaustion. It's heady when you first get into it but you learn that it's not that deep, people are mostly catching cruise, why bother your head over people's vanity.

To reader; Please run NAIRALAND IS REALLY REALLY MENTALLY EXHAUSTING BAD NEWS ON A DAILY DOES THAT TO YOU .Love and light to those who listen
It's addiction but you have to radically decide to dump here , you deserve better really

Mehn I forgot how I hated arguments on this forum wow

Rescued and thriving under the care of non believers. Leaving a permanent stain of shame on Nigerians. All this is done not by Juju but by believers in juju. Two different things.

It is one of the things used by biased world to down grade the Nigerian to an superstitious person who makes no effort to achieve anything in life and blaming his failures on others using Juju against him.


please I am not trying to bring your whole morally founded ego of religion down but it is necessary to be abruptly woken , white people well in the past did not love us so why would they give us religion? Because they live us?

In other non superstitious fear filled countries they are called illustrations or magic shows.

They can make elephants disappear. Walk though walls and cut their assistants in half. There they stopped claiming supernatural abilities hundred of years ago. They even correct you if you call it magic.

In Nigeria and Africa in general. People still believe in the same cheap illustrations any professional magician in Europe will recognize. it is as if the African is incapable of performing the same illustrations for his customers.

Edit: I am closing the comments because the similar comments keep popping up and I keep having to repeat myself. I am therefore summarizing them here.

Cultural believes: It is very hard to disregard what you were brought up to believe, I respect that. I was brought up in an family that encouraged analysis of what we hear. My analysis is that Juju is nothing more than parlour tricks reinforced by popular culture.

Juju power not yet discovered : like radio waves as someone kept it. False premise, Since the universe came into existence, there was sound. You talk and I hear. The discovery of sound waves and waves in general just told us how it happens. Now if you showed me a woman flying without wings and show me how it is done, only than can you compare a known phenomenon’s science, with nothing ever proven.

The power of Juju had been observed : Common example been given is “bulletproof” charms. I have them done on me. Even poison and knife proof. It was part of my tribal age group initiation. Am I going to try it out? No.

Please explain this bulletproof in terms of a handful of British soldiers and delta locals conquering the Ancient kingdom of Benin with all its most powerful Juju and thousands of soldiers. Now apply it to the rest of present day Nigeria.

A friend and I were told a story in secondary school by another boy on how his family was protected against bandits by Juju. Decades later my friend repeated The same story, only the subject was his family with no mention of the person who told it to us originally . This is how myth over the history of humanity normally forms.

You are a Christian and believing in Juju is part of it: Again false premise. Most Christians do not know what Juju is.

African traditional religion from where Juju originated does not acknowledge any of the Christian believes. So how is it anti God or pro Devil when it is something they do not believe in?

Someone started quoting scriptures for mention of witches. The witches have nothing to do with Nigerian Juju. It is a religion older than Christianity and goes back to the druids of old. Naturally they will appear in the Bible. But here is the thing. Witchcraft or Wiccans are an recognized religion freely practiced today. Protected by law in most developed countries. They do not believe in gods of any kind and worship the earth as an entity we live on. The witches of old and new would find Nigerian witches and what is attributed to them very funny. Right out of Hollywood or Nollywood.

Please research. You want to use witchcraft as an example. Read up on them first.

Many people claim to see the same thing: It is called Mass hysteria. If you are told a powerful juju lives on a lane. Every smell, sound or sight will be the juju to the believer. No different from the Monkey man of India or the disappearing privates epidemic that keeps popping up in Nigeria.

The image of Nigerian juju in the outside world is that of human traffickers using it to scare their victims, but does not protect them from been arrested. Ritual murders with the practitioners in jail and Nigerian “witch” children abused and abandoned by family and society.

Is Nigerian Juju real?
As a religion it is real. Like all religions it plays on the superstitious of which Africans are. Be it talking in tongues and healing for Christians. To Moslem mallam who makes amulets.

In the case of the African traditional religions, it is an art form.

It works only on people that believe. How? I will make an example.

In the 90s a senior chief and a distant relation had a problem with the former Oba of Benin. One night the head priest from the Oba palace started doing juju in front of the chief’s palace in plain view of everyone. Next day the Chief was dead. Juju right? Actually no. He was also our family friend and patient. He was diabetic and hypertensive. Did not comply with treatment and preferred herbs. He died of a stroke. Sure the priest killed him. However not with juju, but scared him to death.

When my father died, I was abroad. My aunties were already sharing his lands. I returned and was told by two different elderly people that my aunties were doing juju so that I will forget home. Don't believe, did not work. Took all my dad's properties back and disowned them.

All stories you hear are always the same. “I know someone who saw” which later change to “I saw” Had a friend who was told about a man who touched someone with a ring from ijebu and the other man could not get off the floor. Years later he narrated the story again. This time he saw it happen.

Can juju kill. Oh yes. But not with gods and spirits.

A common image of the event is the witch doctor blowing powder in the victem’s face.

The powder had long been analysed. It comes from the Calabar Bean. Which is rich in ricin. One of the deadliest poisons.

This example of using nature and giving credit to the supernatural is the basis of all similar religions. Not only in Nigeria. Read up on how to make zombies using the puffer fish toxins as practiced in Haiti.

Edit: People are going like, well I believe in science but there are things I have seen in the village..

Like stopping bullets. Here the masked magician shows how it is done without juju helping him.

Extract from Quora


Their reality is because they have long wielded powers of life and death over people. The easiest way to understand the occult in the Nigerian context is as an instrument of social control. Don’t do A or else.

It’s also pretty much an open conspiracy that secret cults dominate Nigeria. But their secrecy can only hold within an atmosphere characterised by fear of exposure and physical consequences. That makes them prone to unexpected violence in a manner individuals find disconcerting and frightening. In turn, they justify their fear by giving it a spiritual dimension.

Blood money is also easily traceable to the slave trade. Human beings used to be worth money. But ‘sacrificing them’ was a metaphor. They usually went through the god’s gullet to emerge on a canoe headed for a slave ship docked offshore. Of course, that reality does not help the thousands slaughtered because chancers believed they could strike it rich. They’d be better off trafficking them to Italy or using them as Asian drug mules. Times have moved on, but the myth endures.

The occult is also the popular antagonist of protestants. Although, they contribute to the myth’s persistence by painting it in spiritual terms.

Occultic agents are physical beings who wield the shadows and terror to their advantage. That terror persists because they are willing to kill to keep it that way. And in a poor country, one can blame any series of misfortunes on them.

Always remember that they quailed before the Maxim despite their vaunted powers. Certain robbers can fly, disappear and are bullet-proof right up until they annoy NPF enough for them to hunt them down. Then the narrative shifts to Baal vacaying with Asherah on that particular day. Or maybe that one smart NPF constable dipped his bullet in a virgin’s vomit. And that happened to be the one thing the fetish was not primed to resist.

Anyways, I give protestants two generations and all that nonsense will fade away. Sure, they’ll replace it with Daddy Go-ism, but at least, Daddy GOs aren’t casual murderers like the cults are.

SisterAnn:
I'm going great. Thanks for asking.

Sure thing sisterAnn. You have a good one

SisterAnn:
Poorly scripted.

Take a break, perhaps you are burnt out.

How did your day go ? Lovely I hope ?

CodeTemplar:
Money ritual is and isn't a scam.
It is because it kills to give money, yet isn't because it is real.

I get your point and thank you .

I stay here for the Nigerian themed news.

I hope this is true. Time will tell. Arguments based on mud-slinging generate pages faster than civil debates. Nairaland will keel into old habits.

Fourteen year old kids and immature adults experience endorphin highs from this stupid debate.

Traffic equals advertisement potential. The humans behind Nairaland have bills to pay and lifestyles to sustain.

Actually my third or fifth. It’s easy to navigate and the topics affect our Nigerian lives personally, so…

100% fact. I focus wholly on real world activities because the longer I spend on them, the less I’m active here engaging with teenage trolls.

I fancy your use of words ,and Thank you really ,how's your day going so far?

MMempire:
Do money ritual exist? Money ritual is a scam.

Terrible Terrible Scam

Slaves and the unclean, osus ,erus in the pre-colonial Nigeria were usually sacrificed , taken to the 'evil forest " and on return the riches emmased is only just but mystical as these slaves were traded and sold to slave merchants , in exchange for wealth capable of changing whole communities, this today has been inbred with culture sadly believing sacrificing a selected few would bring weath emmasse . Because of the Nigerian Athmosphere of spiritual fear , we don't question and the Religous Heads including babalawos take advantage of this to maximum possible capability , its human it's nature and natural for the strong to feed off the weak .
Shame on those who still practice Money Rituals still.

Well it's been awesome really , zen calm and serene
I did notice though there is this disdain underlying but there about people who are always offline(offgrid)


Love and light on thy path hope you have a great great day and do remember to smile it helps

Gallimimus


Type of dinosaur: Theropod
Size: 20 ft. / 6m
Period: Late Cretaceous
Gallimimus belongs to this list of famous dinosaurs due to its appearance in the film Jurassic Park. In the film, paleontologist Alan Grant (played by Sam Neill) and the grandchildren of park owner John Hammond are surrounded by a Gallimimus herd. Grant and the children take shelter behind a fallen tree as the herd is attacked by a T. rex.

Gallimimus, whose name means “chicken mimic”, was a fast-moving, herd animal with a large, toothless beak. Unlike the dinosaur in Jurassic Park, Gallimimus is thought to have had feathers. The structure of its beak suggest that the dinosaur was a herbivore that ate tough vegetation.

Troodon

Type of dinosaur: Theropod
Size: 6.5 ft. / 2 m
Period: Late Cretaceous
Troodon means “wounding tooth”, a name that comes from the dinosaur’s serrated teeth. The teeth were the first Troodon specimens to be found.

Most paleontologists believe that Troodon was a predator, with large eyes and one of the biggest brains in relation to body size of any dinosaur.

An opposing view is that Troodon’s serrated teeth were used to slice through leaves rather than meat, and that the dinosaur was an omnivore.

Good Morning Nlanders, and hope you have a wonderful day I really do

Examples of famous dinosaurs include sauropods such as Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus; Ornithischians such as triceratops, stegosaurus and Ankylosaurus; and theropods such as Giganotosaurus, Allosaurus and Tyrannosaurus. These popular dinosaurs have appeared in numerous films, books, and TV shows


Number one


Type of dinosaur: Theropod

Size: 26-36 ft. / 8 – 11 m


Period: Late Cretaceous
Therizinosaurus was a towering therapod famous for its long arms and huge claws. Each hand had three claws, the longest of which grew to more than 20” / 50 cm in length. The name Therizinosaurus, which means “scythe lizard”, refers to the dinosaur’s large claws.

Although Therizinosaurus’ claws are impressive, they may not have been used solely as weapons. This large dinosaur may have moved around like a gorilla, occasionally standing on its hind legs and using its claws to pull down vegetation to eat.

Therizinosaurus achieved fame as the subject of the Walking with Dinosaurs series special episode, “The Giant Claw”

Banilla:


Tems did something other women have done, including Lady Gaga, Beyonce and so on.

White racists bashed her and her entire race and the fools here agreed with them.

A white woman works naked and no one insulted her, they didn't drag her race either. They laughed and joked and for some reason, even brought Nigerian women into it, saying they can't do this cause they are dirty.

What's your point?

I actually went through the initial thread and your concerns exactly were mine.

Funny how war on drugs in Nigeria started as a military Decree now its its engraved in a democratic rule.
