What you just shared is NOT a folktale as ur title suggests

This story is a true life story and it tells you that time travel is a sicience not alien to the Yorubas before the incursion of the whites.

Yoruba tradions and culture has deep science embedded in it. It's[b][/b] just a pity that the white has used religion to distort our heritage as a people.

Please it's not a folktale...a foltale is more like a superstition...This story is far away from supperstition. It's real and has deep scientifical meanings.

With time:

True events are told in stories.
Stories become legends
Legends become myths
Myths are told in folktales.

What really happens is the passage of a lot of time, and passing on the story from one generation to another.

Rostikol:
The UK annual budget is 2 trillion dollars for a 60 million population.
Why would they not be able to fix their roads with ease?
Nigeria’s annual budget is 40 billion dollars for 220 million people, so it takes time to fix stuff.
It is stupid and dumb to demand the same level of infrastructure as obtains in Britain.
They invaded and colonised your country and other nations for a whole century and sold your natural resources, sending the proceeds to London.
That’s why they are so rich today.

The true failure is the man who blame another man for his failure.
What were your leaders and forefathers doing during colonization? Were they not busy selling their kinsmen and betraying other tribes to "obtain the favor" of the white man? Were they not busy releasing their gold, diamond and oil mines for (outdated) dane guns to fight other clans?

MOVE ON and stop crying over spilt milk. What we should be doing now is voting leaders that have sense, and not people who would remain puppets of the so called colonial masters. If we do the right thing for 50 years, our grandchildren will rule the world. But no, our leaders would rather be stealing the small money we're getting and returning them back to buy properties in UK, USA and Dubai.
Nigerians are very smart people, but lack foresight. We always fail to see the big picture.

Lesson:

Make sure you speak with people already living in the UK before you take any step.

Many of those jobs are genuine, between £3k to £5k for care or catering jobs.
If the job is fake, you won't even get a work visa at all. That is the truth.
What you should look out for is the weekly hours in your contract. If it says zero hours, you will start looking for job when you get to UK - it means the company is not promising to allocate any work to you. And you only get paid for the hours you work, no work no pay.

It is what it is.

By the looks of it you're Yoruba and your wife is not.
1. The bride's family spends most of the entertainment expenses as Yoruba, because they believe they are the hosts. But other tribes are not like that. In fact for some the groom's family spends 100% of the costs. I believe you should have known that before now.
2. Not every other tribe have evolved like Yoruba who can be very considerate based on economic realities, and not put much demand on you.
3. It's your wife that will work on her family. Remind her that you guys need to survive after the wedding.

Huh

Real

Truth is Africa is just like a child dining on a table full of adults. And when they quarrel you just obey the one you fear the most.

ExudeLoveToAll:
They don't know what that money means.
Nigeria hasn't earned that money from crude sale.from 1999 till date. It's false.

It's easy to spot people like you because of the way you talk.
Nigeria earns a lot more than you see in the books. Far lot more. If you know you know. I'd just leave it at that.

It's ironic that a country with Uranium can be that poor.

You already made a classic mistake. Never borrow to fund your wedding - does a lot more harm than good.
The wife you borrowed to marry will insult you if you can't take care of her, whatever character she has.

Just double your hustle and pray to God to bless it. Unless you're not really into whole wedding thing - not too late to back out.

2015, 2017...
Those are old cars in working countries.
I bet some people don't even know that there was a time in Nigeria that only kabukabu drivers buy 6 year old cars.
If we don't remind ourselves how good Nigeria was, we will keep celebrating mediocre Leaders.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Kids come into the picture, and you start wondering if you're the dickhead.

Of course there is racism everywhere in the world.
Calling every Hausa guy selling pepper or suya Aboki is racism, like calling a black man "Nigga", or Chinese man "Chinco", or Mexican calling Caucasian man "Gringo".

That is myopic thinking!
These same guys will soon be sending home US Dollars to build houses and take care of their family.
Do you know Nigerians in diaspora sent home over $163 billion dollars in 7 years?? That 5 times 2023 budget of the FG.

Control what?
FIRE ON, BROTHER!

Okay seriously now. If you guys have been doing it 3x weekly, even at 10 years It means she enjoys it (almost) as much as you do. I bet she can't hold it, if you guys take one month break. Yoruba will say "...as earthly person dey tire, heavenly person too dey tire".
If she wasn't complaining before and now she is, it's not the sex that's the problem. There's something else making her to not want you. That's what you need to find out.

Either she's going through something psychologically or physically. Or there's something else you did or did not do that's hurting her.

Persephone1:
This is totally off point.
Lol 🤣
So she should keep moving from men silently because she can't ask. Then one is left to wonder what's she in the relationship for 🤣 🤣.

With men of other nations I can reason with you but Nigerian men, No way. The only way a Nigerian man shows love is taking up financial responsibility, if you don't ask you make him feel unneeded. It's the reason the average man will leave his understanding wife at home to chase bone straight demanding girls.

It's true a woman should be financially independent, have her purse and all but if she's with a Nigerian man, she will be doing herself a great disservice by not allowing him take financial responsibilities.

It seems you've been meeting a "specific" set of men, or Nigerian men as you say.
You pay attention to social media influencers, celebrities, red-pillers (these guys have a point), and the average "cool guys". All these groups are the loudest in the society today, but they don't reflect the true picture. The better groups have been "bullied to silence" because they just want to be good without all the noise. And I do see quite a number of them around.
This is a small space and I don't like saying a lot. Just know that no one respects the person whom they feed. Build up yourself to be a valuable woman, and only men of value can hang around you for long. Get a legit skill or trade or career. When a man sees that you don't need his money because you're financially okay (and not olosho), he will try hard to impress you with the best best gifts he could afford, you'd earn a lot of respect. Unless of course, he himself is valueless.

No need to waste your time and attention on this kind of projection.
When they're duly appointed, it will be clear to everybody. There are better things to do with your time and energy.

Persephone1:
No wonder decent lady suffers most.

Nigerian men likes to be billed not silently watched. Lol Awon Night watchers

A decent lady does well for herself and doesn't need a man's money to not suffer. She can tell a man "to hell with you and your money".
She won't demand, but simply walk out of a relationship if the man doesn't give.

If you can't survive without his money, my dear you are his LovePeddler. In his mind, you're not different from the ones in the brothel. Unless of course, you're one of them but coded.
Ask yourself, why can't he just call olosho and avoid all the headaches of commitment? You both charge for your services, what makes you better than runs girl? Since he knows he pays for it, why won't he pay another girl anytime he feels like? You call it cheating but he's just patronising other vendors/suppliers.

Whatever works for you sha.

merrymike47:
There are spirits truely boss. To think of it, the Bible clearly stated that God is a spirit and those that will worship him must worship him in truth and in spirit. If we must worship HIM in TRUTH, then we can call him (God) the spirit of truth.
We as human are created by God, so the evil spirit cannot decide our fate. I do not know the theory about reincarnation, could be possible but if you die after being saved in Jesus, one thing is certain, you are either transformed or preserved for the time of judgement.

OP said to try escape that zapping light at the end of the tunnel. So I'm asking him what happens if he escapes. Where does he think he'd end up? Answering that question will seriously help his theory.
What if this theory is the devil trying to manipulate people to avoid light (the saviour) and end up in Hades instead of paradise?

No one knows exactly what happens in details when we die. Only by faith. The keyword is "EXACTLY".
My take is, whatever you believe, be sure and be convinced about it, and hold on to it.

$2.55 billion kee you dia.

If not that someone is brainless. How can you go through 8 years of Buhari and still fall for this cheap corn.... I mean con?

Being about 40 years old means you were born at a time Nigeria just began to derail (Buhari IBB era), and your parents didn't have an idea of what was going to hit them about 10-20 years later.
Growing up in a relatively morally upright society compared to recently, you manage to keep yourself afloat in stormy waters.

Originalsly:
Hmmm ... let's reason. Why would spirits need a physical place to "live"? ... to shelter from the rain or what? Don't they live in some people? ... who become possessed? But then I've heard spooky stories of hair raising experiences when people pass by certain trees at nights.
Whatever the case ... I strongly believe all this kind myth ... evil forest ... not throwing stuff in rivers because of offending water spirits... etc ... I believe allmhad to do with protecting the environment from destruction. We no longer a knowledge these beliefs ... and we can now see how contaminated the rivers are ... deforestation... poor air quality etc.

Terrestrial and extraterrestrial spirits have no rest on earth. They roam about up and down, it's their curse. So they sometimes target certain animals, or trees as temporary resting abode.

The higher ranking ones are able to possess humans. While the powerful ones make themselves as deities who demand worship from people.

The power of Jesus brings all of them into submission.

Certain trees.

Some kind of trees may have their own resident spirit, and witches won't go near those. But some others are easy coven targets.
Someone mentioned Banana trees - pay attention to those.

Because she's ashawo. So a real man must pay for being serviced by her.

This is so sick.

GanagiBitrus:
Congratulations Cr7.
The intense Messi-Ronaldo rivalry has been bringing out the best in both of them.

The only person in rivalry is Ronaldo, who is working very hard to compete with Messi.
Messi, on the other hand, is just doing what he loves doing. The money and awards are just side effects of having fun with his life.

Unless you actually died (or nearly died - clinically dead) for considerable amount of time, and came back, you can't say for sure what happens.
And what you even see will be greatly influenced by your religious beliefs.
As for soul recycling, the question is, if you escape that by refusing to go into the light, where would you end up?
Spirits exist, and scientifically, they're like masses of energy (electromagnetic).
Devil (demons) enjoy pain, fear and suffering of humans. So the archons feeding on negative humans emotions is plausible. Princes (Demons) also rule over cities, countries, kingdoms, etc. So people seeing advanced beings controlling the earth has some correlation.
Aliens 👽 existence is also another topic that will have some relationship with this.
Many things.
But what exactly happens when we die? No one knows that.

Blame your social media influencers. Your celebrities.

They painted relationships to be all about money and sex.

Just one indicator you need.
When you woman has sense of entitlement - you must give me this, buy that for me, as my boyfriend or man, you should be giving me this.

A decent lady will watch you silently to see if you give her gifts.
