grin Chai! Those nostalgic years( 1992 - 1996 ).Agbara Nla was not really scary, but only to anyone involved in sinful lifestyle or occultism. Instead it demonstrates the power of God to save the most hardened of sinner.

In the cast, Bose's husband was called to go preach the gospel in the village of Muwonleru. Madam said no way will her husband resign his high paying job to go serve missions.

Another couple made it to Muwonleru to fulfil the call of God, but Bose was so tormented by Toyin Oke ( and the Arometa witch group) till she became psychotic while her husband lost his sight and highly cherished job.

Then, they besought the Lord for mercy over their rebellion and they were forgiven. Thereafter choose to eventually go to witness in Muwonleru, but the mission has long been fulfilled; Ishawuru( Occultic Village Priest played by Mike Bamiloye) has long encountered Chrsit and repented. This inturn helped the entire village to come to God.

"Ayamtanga" means "I Am At Anger"? Lolzzzzz! That phrase used to be chilling cry to the fearful especially on because and OGTV where we used to watch it back then.

I don't know but I think I remember I was right there when Toyin Oke( who was tormenting "Bose" in that film "Agbara Nla" ) was chosen, commissioned and prayed for by Reverend( Dr ) Moses Aransiola and the Elders of Gethsemane Chapel, Arometa Busstop along Sango-Eleyele Expressway. Can someone prove me right or wrong? nlfpmod

The part where Ishawuru sent Olokoshodudu to a couple that he didn't eat rice at their marriage. The couple turned out to prayer warriors and Olokoshodudu was sent back to him. At the point of Olokoshodudu inflicting him with the illnesses it carried, Ishawuru directed Olokoshodudu to his own daughter's family.

You remember that sound Olokoshodudu makes as he moves? Scary demon.

Ishawuru didn't send the demon to the couple who didn't give him food. He sent It first to the evangelist couple, then to the couple he gave a child to from the emeres, then to his daughter and her husband.
