Last year, the knife was dug out from that place, rusted and looking almost unrecognizable, they said nobody was feeding them blood anymore, and that until they're appeased that the family won't rest, they were appeased and their spirit sent gloriously out of the family (family liberation).

ReplyDeleteWhen marriages or intended marriages fail, and people begin to die young.
Understand the source/cause.
This happened to my late grand mother.
DeleteShe was the first child of her father children, her father had 3 wives. my great grandfather does not believe in sending a girl child to school and my mother wanted and desired to be educated, so she will go to school and stay by the window to be learning with other children, she used the sand as her book, anything the teacher wrote on the chalk board she will write on the sand, she did this for some years until the father give her out for marriage, she begged her dad to send her to school and not to husband house, her father refused, so she lay a curse that day that any girl child her father will later send to school.
After some years her father realized the important of educating a girl child and all my grandmother younger sisters were sent to school but they can neither read nor write as in they did no know anything at all (Ordinary ABC they cannot read and write even till today, when you see them you cannot believe they passed through school compared to my grandmother, at least my grandmother can read ABC& ABD, take stock of her goods by writing them by herself, calculating her goods by herself, she can speak little English and understand English when you speak to her compare her younger sisters). After some years her sent for her and her husband and begged her to please pray for her younger sisters because her father realized that he had wrong my late grandmother but not sending her to school. So she prayed for her 2 younger sisters and they are the only girl child that finished school, one is an immigration Officer and the other a retired head mistress.
Here we are not talking about "whatsapp" elders that full cities o. Na village bred and brought up.

This one happened in the village where I came from.
ReplyDeleteThere was this deity whose shrine is located at the outskirts of the village. There is a field behind that shrine where the masquerades (children of this deity) come to dance during the New Yam festivals. No woman dare walk through this field or go near the deity. The punishment is that she bleeds for the rest of her life. The ladies stayed indoors for one market week, during this dance. It is not hearsay, as we know ladies in the village who due to "open eye" suffered this fate and no hospital could help them.
So when these missionaries came to the igwe and asked for a place for outdoor program. He wickedly gave them that field (There were up to 11 ladies among them). So the one week program began. The first night, only the missionaries attended; just about 20 of them altogether, and that was the case till the 5th day. They were just singing and praying. The villagers carefully watched those 11 ladies and they were happy, cheerful and singing and praying, without qualms. Omo, na so the place pack full o on the sixth and 7th day. The program now lasted for additional one week and ladies; believing ladies were seated peacefully on the logs of wood right in front and beside the shrine.
Things fall apart, but in another form.
DeleteOmo, na so the place pack full o on the sixth and 7th day.
DeleteThe above cracked me up. Jesus is Lord indeed

Heard the reason why people of asaba in delta state doesn't eat ogbono soup was that in the old, their deity abi ezenwayi (usually wear spotless white dress every time and everywhere) went to an occasion and they served her ogbono soup, after eating, she didn't notice the soup spilled on her white dress. So she was dancing to the glare of her people and they were laughing and mocking her, when she realized it was cause of the stain on her dress, she left there angrily and placed a ban on ogbono soup across asaba land
ReplyDeleteAsaba people don't eat ogbono? This is the first time I'm hearing this o
DeleteLoool
DeleteNa BIL na Asaba and if you don't give him ogbono, you're in hot soup. Yea... pun intended 😜
DeleteAnon 18:51, Asaba ppl truly don't eat ogbono. I visited there and was asking of it, dem no mind me oo, but later found out u can just ask those mkt women privately abt the thing that draws, just dnt mention ogbono. They also don't cut ur fish for u, no matter how big it is. Weird ppl.
DeleteWhen Jesus sat with the multitude, what exactly telling them about the kingdom of God? I'm curious
ReplyDeleteThere is a particular woman in my street,she is averagely rich,she has three houses in my area,two in my street and one in the next street,people in the area gossip that her money is not clean.
ReplyDeleteSo during lockdown in 2020,the traditionalist are doing ORO in night and they pass our street,the sound was so scary even before they got to our street,all of a sudden we heard noise,a very serious one.
This woman came out of her house and accuse the ORO of disturbing the street and staying too long in front of her house,she was cursing them seriously,it was a big fight between them.
She even arrested them the following morning,it was so tough because of the popular belief that women don't see ORO.
Till today nothing happen to her after seeing the ORO,she doesn't go to church or mosque o,I wonder what kind of power she posses because her face is always strong,and she is very harsh,she once beat her mum blue black because they have disagreement.
Nawaooo things are happening!
ReplyDeleteThis is my own story, my grand father was a strong figure who would do anything to have a male child. And God honored his wish by giving him a male child but they always die after three month on Earth. So the last one that came too died and my grandfather was so pissed that he brought out his dagger and stabbed the dead baby on his left ear.few months after this, my grandma conceived and gave birth to that same child who is now an elder brother to my father. But the issue now is that my uncle's left ear can't be treated as pus keeps coming out from the ear, the stabbing was so deep. I wish there is something we can do now, he is 65 years and that left ear stinks.
ReplyDeleteKai! Are you serious?
DeleteAnger is not good oh! Parents and anger
DeleteMy father told us the story. Many years ago, there was this very brilliant boy in their village. He was so brilliant that he 'cleared' all his papers (WAEC). One of the top men from the village helped him secure a clerk job in CBN. He started doing well and helping his family. His father had 2 wives. During the Holidays, he would go home, buy things for his father, his mother, step mum, siblings and step sisters and brothers. Everyone was happy, or so he thought. Whenever he gave money, he would give the wives more. He never knew his father was not happy with that behavior of his. So one day, the father snapped his fingers and said he will see. He went to do juju. Juju to hurt and punish his own son. He said and I quote "na small shit dey spoil bottom". This boy went to the office and stole. He went to the 'counting room' and stole the smallest denomination of money. He hid it in his socks. CCTV caught him and he was sacked. He suffered. Oh! My dad said the boy really suffered. He became a shadow of himself. Years later, the father confessed. He used his mouth to scrub the whole village during the confession. He said he was angry the son was giving the wives more money so de decided to 'spoil' everything for him. After confessing, he died. The son never regained himself and never forgave his father
ReplyDeleteHis own father.
DeleteWow ...I love stories ...make una dey type nau
ReplyDeleteNawaooo story dey ooooo
ReplyDeleteI come from a riverine area. In my place, people have Totems (Google that). Totems are what you guys now call spirit animal. It's the form of an animal that a person takes to practice witchcraft. My people take forest and riverine animals and they turn into these animals at night and go for meetings. Meetings are held in the forest or under the water, depending on the animal one takes.
ReplyDeleteSo one day, my grandma went to the market. They use boat to go back to the village before Government built road. As they entered the boat, they got to the middle of the river, then one hippopotamus came from underwater and carried the boat up. People on the other side were holding on so that they don't drown. So they were trying to use stick to and shoes to hit the hippopotamus, hippopotamus no gree. My granny now started singing songs of praise for for the hippo, she begged the hippopotamus. That she is a good woman and she has done well for the village (true!!) That they should not kill her because many people will cry. That who will feed the homeless children she feeds etc? That's how hippopotamus let down the boat and they continued their journey.
Apparently, it was a totem looking for sacrifice not just an ordinary animal. She said the boat was quiet all the way to the village after that experience
This is about my family
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother is a child of a baba lawo. When she got married she suffered many years to have children. She was always crying to her father so one day her father took her to a river in the village and she made all sorts of pledges to the river in exchange for children and she had 6 children but one died.
My ganma has now passed away but her children need to go and redeem her pledge but they don’t do it right so 10 years ago the river took my uncle. They have been appeasing the river since but soon it will take another of them.
I am in Christ so I’m untouchable but my mum and her siblings not so much.
