Like I stated, I'm more of a skeptic and cynic for most parts. Even an Atheist for years before becoming a Deist.

But I've seen the Uruan people in their elements. I have nothing to benefit from painting a subgroup as still very much in touch with their native fetishisms vis-à-vis practising Christians. If anything, I have set them up for possible dragging and labeling.

Still, the truth is the truth, and it's harsh sometimes. We live in a metaphysical world. We have no explanation for everything. There are many phenomena science can't explain till date. Heck! Scientists even dismiss their own varying theories of how the universe came to be, but they agree there's an intelligent deliberate design to the universe.
And deliberate intelligent design is proof of an intelligent designer or designers. A designer is a creator. 0.5 x 1 = 1/2 .

I've seen things which shake my cynicism and skepticism. You have too. Including the viewing public.

Those things you call supernatural are seen as natural by some people. It's limitations in perception and understanding that make people regard them as supernatural.

When scientists discover the laws of nature underlying such phenomena, they'll become seen as normal, ordinary by many.

This has been happening in many human eras. Cold, malaria, jaundice, even common headache were all regarded as spiritual (supernatural) attacks in the past. Today, most people don't see them that way due to key advances in medical science.

The same fate awaits those phenomena you call spiritual, supernatural, juju today. In fact, as we speak, scientists are doing studies on some of them, and when they make breakthroughs in them, new sciences will emerge and new technologies.

This is what has been happening with many phenomena regarded as juju, supernatural by the masses.

Those things you call juju are purely physical. I can't go into too much details here. But certain laws of nature, which are mathematical, govern them.

If you see some mathematical functions and equations underlying all these things, you'll shudder.

Don't deceive yourself or let anyone deceive you. The matrix we call reality was designed and engineered by certain people (worshipped as different gods and goddesses around the world) using certain codes (certain math, physics, and the likes) the same way engineers design and code machines today.

And planet Earth is governed by physical laws. If you don't know many of such laws, that's when you'll see phenomena above your understanding as juju, voodoo, supernatural, which will make you prone to scams.

There's nothing like juju in a physical realm like Earth. Everything here is physical.

About the designer you mentioned, if you want to know the designer in your own culture, that's the chief god or major gods/goddesses worshipped there by the pagans.

And those ones have also their own designers as well.

Each culture has its own designers. It's all advanced programming the gods (higher beings) do.

The programming done in Computer Science and the likes is elementary. The matrix we call reality itself came about from programming done by past humans worshipped as one god or the other in different parts of the world.

Due to limitations in understanding of mysteries of nature in different eras, the supernatural or juju of one generation are the ordinary, normal things of the next generation.

People that look for supernatural (spiritual) phenomena in the physical realms such as Earth can be likened to a person seeking to harvest yam when he planted cassava.

Earth is just one of the many realms (worlds) in existence, and the laws of nature in each world are different. The physical realms such as Earth are governed by physical laws, which are studied by what we call science.

In other realms (called "orun" in Yoruba or spiritual realms), there are also laws of nature, which are perceived as supernatural relative (compared) to the earthly realm.

There are no supernatural phenomena in the physical realms such as Earth. If you're seeking for such, shamans and fraudsters go scam you tire.

The supernatural phenomena happen in other realms called "orun" (in Yoruba) or spiritual in the general context. These are non-physical realms, and you sometimes journey to them in your dreams.

Physical realms such as Earth are governed by physical laws (Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, and the likes), while non-physical realms are governed by non-physical laws.

That's the plain truth.

How will people enjoy stable power supply, good health facilities, good roads, and other basic amenities as we've in many parts of the West, China and the likes when natural phenomena and happenings are seen as juju, voodoo, supernatural?

Such mentality keeps a people in darkness and underdeveloped.

DissTroy:


KingTom knows the fetishisms of the Efiks very well. Even as fetish as they are, the Obong of Calabar must go pay homage to the Uruans of Akwa Ibom. All the rites and everything for cleansing. Same with high-ranking titled Efik men.

Even Donald Duke has to go pay homage regularly. He did so as Governor too.

An atheist's stance would be put to test when he encounters the Uruans in their elements.
----
But on the flipside, the most Ibibio of cuisines are best prepared by the Uruans. Hilda Baci can't tie the culinary stiletto straps of a typical 17-year-old Uruan girl raised by an Uruan mother. I'd say the females make the best lovers too, from my experience.

All these are just tricks and unexplained science. If many people in this part of the world show interest in science, these are things that can be studied and applied to solve various problems faced in society.

There's nothing supernatural or juju in all those things you've mentioned. If you're looking for supernatural feats in the earthly realm, dem go scam you gan.

No supernatural phenomena exist on Earth. Everything is physical and has certain laws of nature (some physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, psychology) underlying them.

If you don't know such laws or natural principles, that's when you'll be believing in juju or voodoo.

In many parts of the world, sun, rainfall, and many natural phenomena we take for granted today due to the advancements of science and technology were all regarded as spiritual and supernatural phenomena in the past.

Today, because the scientists have discovered and understood the laws of nature underlying those natural phenomena, they're now seen as normal (natural), nothing supernatural or juju.

It's because of such understanding we've electricity, cars, phones and the Internet you're browsing with, and many other amenities, which have made our lives easier in the 21st century.

But laws of nature are many, and scientists haven't even scratched the surface of the Infinite mysteries of nature.

The mentality of seeing mysterious phenomena and occurrences of nature as juju, supernatural and as act of one god/deity or the other is bad and unhealthy for science and doesn't make a people to grow.

That's one of the major problems of people in these parts of the world, which is why Africa is the least industrialized and developed continents of the world.

That attitude needs to change. Supernatural phenomena don't exist in the physical realms, such as Earth.

Don't let anyone deceive you. In the coming years, many of the feats you see as voodoo, juju today will be regarded as normal (ordinary, natural) when scientists discover and understand the laws of nature governing them.

Even Isese practitioners that believe in all this nonsense know the gullible and simple-minded people they tell such lies to. Whenever I discuss with them, I tell them clearly without mincing words that what they call juju or supernatural don't exist in the earthly realm.

Everything that happens on Earth is natural and is governed by certain laws, which are inherently mathematical.

May help locate you soon. This country is really so harsh.

We need a quality striker badly. Broja needs to be sold, and Jackson used once in a while as a sub in games.

Seun:
Fellow Nairalanders,

I'm pleased to wish you a Happy New Year!!

2024 will be the year of Nairaland's resurgence. I will face Nairaland squarely like I used to before the discouraging Data Loss Incident of 2014. I will hire more hands to help us to improve Nairaland.

The problems of Nairaland that we should have solved years ago will be solved.

* We will defeat tribalists, trolls, & spammers.
* We will complete our advertising platform.
* We will improve the UI and UX.
* Home page topics will be educative & fresh.

However, I must warn you that things will get worse before they get better. Please stand with us and fight for u as Nairaland faces the tough challenges of 2024, which have already started.

Happy New Year and thanks for using Nairaland!

Seun Osewa,
Nairaland's Founder.

Compliments of the season, bro! Please, give us a block button. Thank you.

..

2024✌️. May our ori (inner head) make the New Year favor us and our families.

Na wa for Poch o. Bottled a 3-nil lead

Hard-fought victory.

E go be spam bot. Dem go turn u 2 guest by force. Very annoying.

Lols. I think it was due to the recent Nairaland outage.

Trevor012:

Chief why you nor dey drop posts?

I'm working round the clock to finish my book of Physics and other activities.

Why Oga Seun come lock my account since yesterday? I not fit login until now.

The issue this surgeon raised in this post is one key reason why many intelligent Nigerians leave the country and often limit their interaction on this forum as well.

A001,


People are actually buying your idea of translating physics/chemistry/biology textbooks into indigenous African language. It is a step in the right direction.

Okay. Good to hear.

Tbh, some exam dey carry extra-ordinary pressure. Especially the ones wey u missed d assignments/test/quiz. U go dey ask person to spell "is"

Lols, true

Following instructions to the letter...

PochOut. At this point, I no go mind Conte sef. But Poch no be am at all. We need a top-quality coach and a proven striker.

Bombblacks:
What happened to A001. He hasn't posted in a while.

I'm perfectly fine. Thank you. I'm involved in many activities offline at this period. Hence, I only visit Nairaland once in a while and make posts here sparingly.

Good win today. Hope we can beat manure on Wednesday and secure another 3 points.

"In the broad light of day, mathematicians check their equations and their proofs, leaving no stone unturned in their search for rigour. But, at night, under the full moon, they dream, they float among the stars and wonder at the miracle of the heavens. They are inspired. Without dreams, there is no art, no mathematics, no life." -- Michael Atiyah

Na wa o. The health sector in Nigeria is in crisis if this report is true. All sectors of the country are in crisis sha, not only the health sector.

It's impossible or crazy till it's done, and then it becomes commonplace and trivial.

......wetin you dey seek sef Ẹ̀gbọ́n ń lá.

That's not meant for Nairaland. What I seek as a physicist is clearly stated in my publications on the research projects I engage in.

OasisX:
........A001, this will interest you I guess.

Why should it interest me? I told you I'm seeking God or spirituality?
