FOLYKAZE:

Let me tell you one secret. For every original thing, there is fake or we got mimic which are not real. Im not arguing this things cant be faked or those you witnessed aint fake. But on the other side of the fake, there is original. Only those that seek for it find it. I remember a yoruba saying 'ai rin ni ko jẹ ka ri abuke ọkẹrẹ, ti a ba rin ji nna, ao ri ẹja ti o yaarọ.

From the way you sound, I can almost tell the kind of person you are already. You're one of those people that would tell another person, "forget it, I KNOW what I'm talking about" with so much assurance, even when spewing complete bullocks. grin First of all, this no "secret". Stop trying to induce mystic talks to cajole me into believing your bullshit. Secondly, a trick is not a fake; a trick is simply a trick -- there is no other end of any spectrum that would render one either fake or original. Don't try to depict an "either-or" situation here because there is none. If there is a trick performed, it simply means that what is being depicted is impossible to execute in reality. Hence, the reason why you are being cleverly tricked into believing, using various natural methods.

FOLYKAZE:
People like you will say Ifa priest are fake and tricksters. But the problem you guys have is that you have not done critical investigation but follows every thing that works with belief. Though we have the fake ones like babalawo and all the fake juju men. But I have met Ifa priest that tell everything about me even when we are meeting for the first time. This same man will tell you your problem without you informing him. We got lot of them in the country but the fake ones have destroyed their dignity.
I have met both fake and original Ifa priest. The fact is not that you sit in which ever country you are and tell us that this thing at home is fake.

Dude, I spent a substantial amount of my life in Nigeria so I can very much relate with all you're saying. As a matter of fact, I schooled in the very superstitious town of Ile-Ife, which means that I have heard even more fantastic stories than all you have written here. On the contrary, you are the one not doing enough critical thinking. You are simply being wowed by things that have perfectly natural explanations, but you haven't bothered to investigate because you just WANT to believe they're indeed supernatural. See, we all get wowed from time to time when we see things that do not conform to our everyday experience. However, you should learn to engage your mind critically and try to UNDERSTAND what makes that thing seem the way it is. As jayriginal submitted earlier, if you are unable to get an explanation, or you fail to understand it at that moment, you should file it under "unresolved", and NOT "supernatural". Trust me, there's always an explanation. Always! No matter how extraordinary that experience might seem.

The Ifa priest that allegedly told you everything about yourself used a common technique employed by psychics and mentalists, known as Cold Reading. Read about it. There's nothing supernatural about that at all.

FOLYKAZE:
On the issue of gun and skin bullet proof, It up to you. Just take the challenge too like mazaje does. Im Atheist like you and will continue to say that these things happening which is not understood but confirmed by me can also be confirm by you. Writing trickish theory is not the issue here, the real fact is get your gun and confirm things out.

I have promised to record the scene and upload it here. You either shoot or watch the thing happening. Writing stuff here wont change the fact. Take it or leave it.

OR I WILL GIVE YOU THE OPTION OF MAGUN. I dont know what you people call it in English, I will give you tight gal (olosho), I will set the product on her myself and you go in with her. You are allowed to use condom or any s.ex style. You will know what the result will be. So as not to die, you will drink the gal urine. You can bet on this.

And if you are married, I will give the option of hit and fall. I promise to get 20 litre of water which you will drink cuz that will be the only remedy.

Or the option of stopping your car engine from working. You can drive it down. I promise it wont move an inch unless dragged away from the scene.

Pick up any challenge you got there. South-west is big but can still make it anywhere therein.

Lol, you've got jokes, mate. I sincerely would have loved to take you up on any of your challenges here, with independent observers around, on a neutral ground we both agree on. Unfortunately, I am not afforded the time or means to undergo that whole process with you just yet. Don't worry, mazaje will expose all those frauds soon. I trust him. grin

By the way, so you mean that you are able to do all of these things, or you know people who can, and you haven't invited the James Randi foundation to claim your $1 million yet? In case you're not aware, there has been this huge prize money since 1964 for anyone who can prove or demonstrate the existence of the supernatural. It's called the One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge. Guess what? Many people like you have come forward with various claims and have tried to DEMONSTRATE these so-called powers in a controlled environment -- over 1000 people in 40 years. Needless to say, every single one of them has failed spectacularly.

Now don't tell me you don't need the money. Even if you don't need it, you still stand a lot to gain by successfully CONVINCING the whole world that the supernatural or paranormal exists. At least, people like me will then be able to shut up for good. Come on, give it a try if you're so sure of yourself. wink

You don't know them before, if you provide evidence they will redicule it, if you don't they'll ask for it.

I created a thread titled "Information: Evidence of a creator" many of them (atheist) ignored it. It's only ooman that try to stay but at the end he loose.

So if you continue to argue with them they'll always find an excuse.

The video that I said is edited has still not been explained so what are u on about!

Why not debunk the 'edited' claim first! Or can you explain on his behalf?

@emusan
Can you please watch the video and honestly tell me 1.56-1.57 is perfectly ok.

Honesty is a value we should all ascribe to regardless of our affiliation.

Did any of you even consider reading my own version on why I feel the bird fell and debunked the theory?

Hey! Mr cameraman, but the video was obviously edited between 1.56s/1.57. it is bad to tell lies in order to prove that the supernatural exist, it defeats your case.

Re: What Are Your Views On Supernatural Occurrences? by dorox(m): 10:18pm On May 01, 2013
Some years back, a friend of mine tried to prove to me that 'jazz' exist by using her personal eye witness account of OPC militants blowing up a building with an explosive egg. After applying a little pressure to her story, she changed it from "i saw it with my two n@ked koro-koro eyes" to "my mother told me she saw it happen right in front of her and I trust my mum not to lie to me." Then I told her to imagine that her mother was standing close to mob of OPC militants intent on causing damage to their rival/enemy's property and possibly life, chanting their war songs in the process, what does she think her mother will do?
Will she tip-toe right behind them and close enough to see that it was an egg that started the fire, or will she face the opposite direction and run for dear life?
It took her a full half of one minute of thinking through what i said to realise that her mother could not have seen an egg explode.

Iykesmooth: Its rili so disgusting when people say supernatural things or magic do not exist? Are u on dis planet or wat? When i started believing was when i entered a bus and d conductor was collecting money and he asked a man 2 pay, the man said he hed no money then d conductor got mad and threatened 2 deal with him...... Wen d man got 2 his bus stop d conductor held his shirt and said he must pay!! D man asked d conductor 2 let go but he refused ... All he did was say a few incantations and touched d conductor , d conductor just started crawling on d floor and acting like a mad man... Everyone in d bus was scared!! Me included.... D driver and d few brave ones had 2 beg him b4 he made d conductor back 2 normal.... Dis was 2years ago... So u pple saying magic dosent exist should shut d Bleep up!!!

You know, some years ago, the story went round that certain numbers that would call your phone would cause death. If people got a call from a strange number, they would hyper react, sometimes causing death. Where death didnt occur, they would "give 'god' the glory".

Can I get a witness?

This crap was widespread. Some dying, some hospitalized. Me, I answered all my calls, even from strange area codes.

Thats all it was. People calling with international numbers were causing deaths with the ignorant. Psychosomatic deaths!

I understand your point Mr. Dare!
Imagine many people on this thread sharing different experience. Ask yourself, are they living in the same area?

If I share my own story now to you it's storyyyy storyyyy but I won't waste my time on telling you.

But let me take you to scientific world the one you can understand and you base your believe upon.
Have you heard/read about INFORMATION? If you haven't try to do so. And I've created a thread on information titled "Information: evidence for a creator". I'm quite sure you will have viewed it but ignored it because many of you (atheist) can not disprove INFORMATION.

For you to know, according to atheist from ages made us to understand that nature consists only matter (that's why you'll see any atheist, humanist, evolutionist always fight againt spirituality) which are two foundamental entities (mass & energy) but now the third entity has been added 'INFORMATION'.

Now nature consists three foundamental entities:
*Mass (physical)
*Energy (force)
*Information (spirit)

* I called it SPIRIT because it is immaterial, it works like software, it can't be generate from a purely materials e.t.c just check the link sir.
Expand your knowledge on that here.
