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.
U dnt av to make Nigerian setting ur ceiling, u dnt av an idea of wat to say. U wont advice anyone to start making research on witches just to provide statistical evidence, how clueless that would be!! The fact dat thr is no statistical evidence does not undermine the fact that witchcraft is being practice there. By the way,a white lady on satelite tv once talked of how she was involved in vices like sorcery,prostituition nd drug addiction. Aside dat close friends,who have relatives living there, do narrate stories of withcraft practice over there.
Do not quote me again as ur comments are deviation to wat i originally said nd it also lacks COMMON SENSE. Good day..

Yea it truly exist in different forms, with different names, in different cultures ...... According to what my professor told me "WHEN A CULTURE DEVELOPS ....EVERYTHING TENDS TO DEVELOP WITH IT" ........ in Europe it is studied as a course vent called " mystical n mythical studies" under grand philosophy ........but in Nigeria our witches are still sucking blood n looking for d next person to use as sacrifice in dia coven!!!! ...... That's why ova in Europe u can b a witch or a wizard n it can b ur source of income ..... creating illusions for people to pay n watch!!!! ........... I JUST PITY DOSE particular set of people called Nigerian atheist who say there are no witchcraft ...... they shd pray fervently DT dia case she Neva b remembered!!!!!

Atheists don't disprove the existence of the machinations of the so called witches and wizards. What atheists say is that what we think are witches and wizards are how human beings exploit the forces of nature. Witches and wizards don't exist as entities. They are simply the way people use gravity, electromagnetism (the Jewish God) and the two nuclear forces of fission and fusion.

So witches and wizards exist alright. The white man has harnessed his own into development. We Africans still use ours to undermine each other.

Most if em burned at d state or killed by some vile means...
N back den only d poor were witches n wizards.. U neva here dt d daughter of a magistrate or mayor is one.. Think think!!!
Now Europe is well educated n way less religious (u'd expect witches n wizards 2 dwell n flex in areas of sin n absence of God as Christians always infer bt dt is obviously not d case in Europe.) n suddenly by some magic no witches n wizards in Europe again...

My people open ur eyes n live... D Europeans av bn whr we r.. Dey let go of such beliefs Dan stymied Dere progress n nw see whr dey are...
We nid 2 learn frm dem n only den can we begin to rily prosper...

I no know some people will actually think it's a movie. But believe this ain't the issue. But believe me I've not seen a nollywood movie in years. I don't even watch them. I said that some days ago. This is not a movie and i don't even need to tell him a movie. Because thats not even the highest form of witchcraft I've seen. I've seen lots worst than this.

The white men call it witchcraft,but here it is Aje or Eleye". They either appear in form of owl,bat,crow etc. My mechanic was once bragging that he didn't believe in them until they dealt heavily with him-now he knows better. I did a course on withcraft so many years ago and I know how it works. Just don't step on their toes,make them angry or flaunt your wealth or anything in front of them,if you do,hmmmmmm!
What is the name of the course? And how does it work? Am interested please share.

TrajansKong:


..and, of course, the Bible is the main source of of our knowledge undecided undecided

When we win, its all glory be to god. When we lose, its down to curses, witches, wizards and ancestral demonic covenants. Basically the entire universe and every entity in it except African people has authority, motive power, agency and the ability to be independent.

Threads like this depress me. They expose our self-hatred and an absolute living faith in our own worthlessness as a people - Nigerians in particular.We only have faith in things beyond ourselves. We have no self-worth as understood by the rest of humanity.

We live and die as craven, slavish, delusional and willing puppets - hopeless and pathetic in the eyes of the world. And we will force this onto our children, in White Jesus' name or torture them as witches if they don't accept him.

I am unbearably ashamed of my people and don't know what to do about it at all...

We as humans always have our parts to play to enjoy the blessings of God, because authority has been given to us in the name of Jesus to dominate our world. The ball is in your court. Believe it or not there are witches and wizards.

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.

I'm only replying this because, somehow, my username found it's way into your posts, which resulted in me being mentioned.

To answer the question above; I do not think there are witches and wizards. However, I do believe there are people who believe themselves to be witches and wizards. There's a difference, you see; and it is that I just think of these people to be mere individuals who like to think they have power over other people. I mean, if you say you serve a greater being, why should you believe anyone else can have power over you? You see the contradiction?

The Bible grants knowledge, yes, but most of the time, it is often misinterpreted to mean something else entirely. And that is the case of so many Christians. People misunderstand the messages being passed across and then pass on their irrational fears to other people. I just think that is the case here. How can you tell someone that the in ball is in their court to choose to fear something? Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?

Still though, TrajansKong, everyone is entitled to what they think or believe in. I do not think it is right to go about putting down other people's beliefs. We must learn to respect our differences and not mock them.

I don't think anyone is interested in your small wizard. You can keep him entirely to yourself and let him play with your life. I'm certain rational-thinking people would rather put their time to productive use rather than obsess over 'wizards'. smiley

I only wish you'd take your own advise. I don't even know why i'm arguing with someone who probably believes twins are evil. It's people like you who murdered thousands of innocent children all in the name of superstition before mary slessor delivered you. Bros, start dealing in facts and you will see a difference in your life.

The discussion is on witches and wizards and so my last line is said within the contest of witches and wizards and not murders or suicide and so you can ask me questions on witches and wizards and not murders. Thank you.
