[size=14pt]Sword stuck through man’s neck in Nigerian festival: Voodoo or Science?[/size] November 24th, 2010 [flash=425,400] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ochyXJe-KVc?fs=1&hl=en_US">[/flash] NewsRescue- In this video the “magical sword” is apparently harmlessly and bloodlessly placed through a practitioners neck and he is paraded around the square. These are the Ekpo of the Annang tribe from Afaha Obong, Abak, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Later in the video another practitioner is seen also harmlessly, bloodlessly and apparently painlessly slicing through his arm and parading this. The question is- how do we refer to these amazing feats? Do we limit them to the ‘occult’ a disparaging reference to superhuman feats, or do we recognize them as exemplary scientific feats on par with ‘western’ system scientific accomplishments and worthy of publication. The African spiritualist, herbalist and traditionalists were the physicians that kept Africa thriving and surviving as the blooming population we know, up until the white man came along with very dangerous diseases(like Gonorrhea). They were sufficient and provided remedies for all diseases. They had ethic codes, therapy documents, conducted research, shared information and provided the public health education and information. What is their role in the modern society? Is their valuable scientific expertise being ignored to our own detriment and irredeemable future loss. Cancer yet uncured by orthodox medicine has evidently been cured over and over by naturalists, including the famous Gerson institute operating out of Mexico that have cured and continue to cure cancer patients from all over the world with herbal remedies, including special fruits mixes and enemas. Vade Mecum (NVS)- I hold the view that many of the practices of the African masters of traditional healing can be cleaned up, upgraded with research and made available for the good of everyone in the society. The catholic church is presently carrying out research into traditional African medicine in a monastery in Ewu, Esan, Edo state, Nigeria. Folks travel from far and near to buy traditional medicine at the monastery. Well, it would be an arduous, painstaking and onerous task for the Nigeria government to tap into the mysterious world of the practitioners of the arts we call African magic. Many of the magical arts of the African traditional jazz masters are manifestations of forces invoked from the spiritual realm. This is in contradistinction to Western scientific approach to learning and creativity, which has an intellectual oriented template. http://www.newsrescue.com/2010/11/sword-stuck-through-mans-neck-in-nigerian-festival-voodoo-or-science/ |

Some humans have mutated genes that allow them to perform "superhuman" feats. Stan Lee, the creator of Superman and other Marvel comic heroes had a show this past summer with different people doing extraordinary things. People with this abnormalities have been around forever, there is no voodoo or science involved, it's just those people's biological make up. On the other hand, I know some voodoo, lmao ![]() |

So much for voodoo! As said the there is often a conspiracy between the magician and audience. Audience is by collaboration! The sword was not used on any object but by the performer. The African spiritualist, herbalist and traditionalists were the physicians that kept Africa thriving and surviving as the blooming population we know, up until the white man came along with very dangerous diseases(like Gonorrhea). They were sufficient and provided remedies for all diseases. They had ethic codes, therapy documents, conducted research, shared information and provided the public health education and information. Like insisting twins are witches? Like being unable to conquer malaria? Or the high mortality rate? If there were such fantasy, wouldn't it be obvious? The Niger delta rebels buy expensive weapons and tie filthy rags on them as protection, why didn't they just use the rags to fight their battles ONLY! Liberian rebel kids engaged in cannibalism and voodoo, yet the casualty rate was still appalling. The thousands of Ijebu warriors with their jazz or voodoo, were destroyed by about 87 British troops with their sophisticated Enfields! Voodooo is trash talk! |

@ OP What was amazing about these demonstrations? Don't you watch movies? Have you not heard of movie props? I have a few observations and questions. Did you notice that the machetes were not implanted or removed before the crowd? And the implements were also not actually moving. Also, considering the apparent leanness of the first character with a machete through his neck, his neck seemed quite fat and he required someone to hold the back of his neck for him. The second character if he actually cut that far into his arm, he would have been unable to keep it bent that way. He also never actually made a sawing motion. He only jiggled the machete. You really need to be more observant more especially about such seemingly amazing occurrences. |

That's why it is voodoo. The voodoo froze the blood in his carotid arteries. |
