Am sorry to make this topic here but I just dont understand why some people are extra-ordinary or should I say unfortunate.

Why ?

This is one of the great wonders of life. This can make one to commit blasphemy by asking so many "whys" and "hows" about the benevolence of the almighty God. Hmmnn. It is well cool.

I just dont understand why some people come up to be unfortunate to have mysterious things, things that are so terrible some cant even be treated or have a proper life. I'm confused.

I'm surprised I've not heard one of my fellow Nigerians shouting "na juju". The day Nigerians stop believing in the monumental fraud called "juju", is the day people start using their brains in that country!

See your head grin, you just wan find my trouble abi?

I tell you, if I become president of Naija, I go arrest all juju "practitioners" and "believers", put dem for Kiri-kiri prison. Make I see how dem go use commot for dia.

Belief in that nonsense puts unnatural fear in people and drastically stunts the ability to reason logically. The worst part is that, when you have problems resulting from human error or carelessness, instead of conducting an investigation, everyone just fold their hands and point to "witches" and "wizards" as the cause of the problem. Even our Nigerian police believe in this nonsense called "juju". How can they ever think of investigating crimes, especially homicide, when many of them believe that one babalawo chanted some incantations in a forest located 100 km away, which resulted in the death of the individual?

As regards the "tree-man", check this out:

After testing samples of the lesions and Dede's blood, Dr Anthony Gaspari of the University of Maryland concluded that his affliction is caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), a fairly common infection that usually causes small warts to develop on sufferers. - [url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1569156/Tree-man-%27who-grew-roots%27-may-be-cured.html]Source[/url]

When are we going to get to the level of challenging ignorance with knowledge

I taya for my country pipo, I swear!
