1. Then don't start with the liner.... "Yoruba with Charms.........". Makes you come like a bigot.
2. Your bias should be stated clearly in this case, rather than a firm statement. If you looked at the topic, the OP was coming from a descriptive and explanatory perspective and not a debate of it's existence or otherwise
3. My biases aside as well (I don't believe in them either), but I do recognize them as part of the makeup of Yoruba history and heritage, which in this thread serves for knowledge purposes.
4. Our parents would have told us a thing or two about them, either in Alo (Yoruba folktales/Stories), directly explaining or Analogies. I remember a funny story told by Pastor Adeboye, about the Madarikan charm, in one of his sermons - about a man that went to do the Madarikan charm from an herbalist, only to return to the herbalist that he had gone to penury since the use of the charm. It was then explained to him that the charm drove away everything (both evil and good).......


fransixe:
its a simple fact that the era of such practices are gone, just trying to alert any one who might be ignorant enough to try them out! especially those ones wey dey eye one babe or the other for NL, make them no go F up grin grin grin

Ok! the charm works and you forget the wishes?

Doesn't really make sense, why do we still have poor Yorubas if the charms work?

1. Not everybody, tribe or race has the frame of reference of their value system base on money,
2. Not that I was expecting a matured critique, but scale through all the OP's posts, which one of them is about wealth?

It's interesting that we Africans are often criticised of being backward etc. Research has shown that some so called western "science" protected by "patents" have their roots in the same principles as we have in Africa. The problem is that our people use it for negative things while oyibos use it for societal advancement. can you believe that " hypnotism therapy" is fully accepted now as a medical option for treating trauma patients in the UK? If it was Africa, it would be labelled as jazz. hopefully our new generation will take a different view of some of this priceless knowledge for advancing our society and people. This list is all new to me but the most fascinating is the Kanako. This is "time travel" O!!! Any evidence that it works?

Kanako works, i have seen a man in.ondo state who uses it due to his Inability to work properly and he,s a farmer.

All the poo you listed above works! Mind you, the devil will never alert the date it will expire. witches and wizards have power and dominion over this poo. Between the level you're in terms of doing charm that's the exact level some people starts. So you're not safe.
The only power that has no expiry date is the power of GOD.
