Dis is my Opinion

Re: Do You Actually Believe In The Existence Of Witches And Wizards? by tosyne2much(m): 9:12pm On Feb 21, 2016
Pque:


One of d ways to know if this power really exist is 4 u to get closer to any omo onile and at a point ask him to introduce u to their 'baba isale', that u have some problems. From that point, I think u will understand better if he does. Just some weeks ago, some pple did 'okigbe' b4 my very eyes. If u shoot them, it wont enter, if u machete them, d cutlass won't even hurt them until u perform certain acts or rituals. I told d guys, my guys, who did it nt to bother abt me that I don't need it. Jesus all d way... nobody or power is worth trusting. I think if any xtian really need a juju to survive, Jesus knows hw to connect u to one. They will come to u in a strange way, just coincident and u won't patronise them or search for them at all.
Oga oooooo !!! Sighs !!

Sure that they exist.. Yes
Sure that they can cause misfortune.. Yes
Sure that they can't take away life.. YES. Because you cannot take what you can't give.

In reference to your last line, how do you explain murders and suicides?

Witchcraft is the spiritual skill of being able to carry on certain
inimical activities in disembodied form. This could include sucking of blood,
eating, holding of meetings, causing accident or inflicting pains or diseases...witchcraft is a phenomenon. The study of spiritism , occultism, mysticism, and cybernetics reveals that man is a carrier of great current of waves which can be projected to bring about certain desired ends... I believe witches exist even without scientific experimentation.I am an African man.

The happiest and most successful countries in the world are the Atheist countries Luke Sweden, Japan...And the Saddest and most miserable are concentrated in Africa.

The Atheists blame themselves and strive to improve from their former miserable conditions(Japan, Finland, Sweden) and others just Keep on blaming the witches and gods(Nigeria, etc)...Stop being superstitious, they dont exist.


But it's all good OP, I believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy smiley
Gbam! They don't exist at all. People just dey create problem for themselves, then find excuse to justify their failure. More than 90% Nigerians are in dis category, and they r passing in confidently to the next generation.

Yes.. they r responsible for road accidents. cool

Road accidents happen everywhere in the world. Even people fall off from horsebacks, you have airplane crashes everywhere. In Nigeria i think it was in 2003/2004, an agency discovered that about 90% of the new tires on sale are expired tires imported into the country by big retailers.

It took me a long time to understand this but you have to be in tune with the concept of freedom to understand America. America guarantees that if i believe in a donkey, nail, cat, tissue paper etc as my lord and savior then i have the right to worship it. They also believe that i don't have the right to impose my belief on anyone. But here's the thing, your private religious belief cannot interfere with the laws of the land and the constitution. So, in effect, you can worship as a witch as much as you like, but you cannot kill another man because your witch belief claimed that he charmed you. It is not a defense under the law. More often than not, they most likely will lock you up in a psych ward anyway if you do unlike Nigeria where people use witches and wizards as an excuse for doing something stu.pid.
Ur response is a deviation to my bone of contention. What i said in esssence was that some of them (the people who u think are atheist) practice witchcraft nd they also believe in the supernaturals,i never waded into laws guiding choice of religion,which i'm aware of..

How come it's always poor houshelps, poor old women and poor widows that are usually accused of witchcraft?

I have never seen the children of rich parents, or women of accomplishment accused of witchcraft.

Primitive societies usual prey on the weakest members, just like in the animal kingdom.

What statistic or hard data do you have to back that up? I believe the definition of atheist is someone who does not believe in a higher or lower being. You can't just say whatever you like without facts. It's just like me saying every Nigerian is secretly gay. Yeah!! I don't have data to prove it but it's true because i said it.

Africans are just so silly. Witches and Wizards? Get off your lazy black ass and go invent something or at least contribute to the improvement of your society.
In your bid to sound intelligent and enlightened you ended up exposing your ignorance and naivety..one of the highest grossing movie/novel franchise (Harry Potter) is all about witchcraft.. What about merlin? Can one even count the myriad of movies on demons,exorcism and the likes that has been churned out by Hollywood for almost a century? Even the white man you sulk up to knows better than you..

Hmmm... Personally, i kind of believe in their existence, haven't encounter such before but heard stories about them. What baffles me most is that some Nigerians do shower their misfortune on witches and wizards. Is appalling. For instance, a friend of mine hardly reads, when final results were out, he failed happily. And i was, "guy, you fail bad bad oo..". He was like, " ehn ehn na, na the witches for my village dey pursue me so". I was like WHAT?? Anyways, do you believe in their existence? If yes, kindly share your experience.

Re: Do You Actually Believe In The Existence Of Witches And Wizards? by DedeNkem: 10:55pm On Feb 21, 2016
I don't have a problem with people believing in anything they want to. But if that belief is not based on objective truths, then you should be ashamed of yourself.

One of the great tragedies of modern society is that we have people cherry-picking science in the interests of their own social, cultural, political and religious belief systems, and that’s the beginning of the end of any informed society.

If Nigerian society had strong scientific literacy, there wouldn't be baseless debates or posts such as this.
