Though your story is strange, the fact is 'anyone could possibly know your name. Anyone, at anytime. Its all about chance.

Second, how certain are you that he's not from your village. Do you know everyone from your village?

You don't seem to get it, I'm new to this vicinity, nobody knows even my Igbo name, I can bet my parents have forgotten they gave me that name sef, another fact is that my friend claims that is a regular occurrence with that mad man, that is to say that he has been calling others before me, or should I say that he knows everybody's names or maybe even more that we haven't discovered

Princewilla:



1. He is not from my village.
2. I don't know much about demons, can you give me any useful insight?

when will you folks get sense?
someone has given you a very good advice up there, go back and start feeding him in return for sure lottery winnings. when you have made at least 50 million naira from his predictions, then you can mention me again so i will take you serious.
i dont have time for all these yeye talk childish tales by moon light

DeSepiero:

I thought you'd rather recommend the deliverance for the so called mad man.

Why should I? This may also be a schizophrenic case and he needs deliverance

TrajansKong:


What are you talking about

What is his "authority in the Kingdom of Light"??

What does this mean?

Are you a christian? If you are then you should know why I asked

This story defies credulity.

Pidgin2:

Deliverance for a schizophrenic? By who and from what?

It's disappointing that you'd recommend deliverance for a schizophrenic instead of adequate medical treatment and therapies.

Princewilla:



I was to afraid to even stand there.. I ran tho

The man is possessed by the spirit of divinition. Get more spiritual education and stop following these spiritual illiterate atheists.

Princewilla:
I Really regret that this will be my first post since joining Nairaland 2011.
Anyway back to topic., I just got into this neighborhood recently, only few people know me, the one's that even know me, knows only my first name Princewill

So I was returning from Church this morning, when I met this mad man, he was literally standing on the way, just as I was about to pass, he called out 'Ejyk nwa-eze nwa-okegwo biko chorom something'

I was transfixed, not only did he call my name, but he even called upto my Grandpa's name;

For the records, it's only my Grandpa (now late) that calls me just like this mad man did.

I told a friend of mine who lives in the same area and he told me that's a regular occurrence with that particular mad man.

I really want to know if there is any logical explanation to this or maybe atheists can help me unravel this mystery

Adspiramen 16:8
:8. And every problem comes with its own gain. An abnormal brain shall do more exploit than the normal one.

The mad man is possessed with demons who are in turn speaking thru him. Similar case was in the bible too but the Apostle concerned shut him up and cast out the demons. Pray for baptism of the power of the holy spirit to be able to shut the demons in him up. When next time he sees you he will run away from you because of the holy ghost fire in you.

You are trying to attack the credulity of the narrative which is way better than your fellow atheists who are trying to explain it away. Very smart.

Since when is what the OP described a manifestation of schizophrenia?

He knows what he saw. He also knows if he's lying or not. I cannot render an opinion because I don't personally know the fellow. People who know him should know if he's lying though.

I'm guessing that the madman only calls out the names of Igbo pedestrians, and never the names of Hausa or Yoruba people. It's a peculiar kind of talent, I must admit.

And he's guessing the names of random people, even names they rarely use. A lunatic. What are the odds of that?

It's simple, and this is what I think happened.
Have you heard of mediums before? Mediums are psychics able to contact the "dead" and receive message from them.
According to your story, the friend you told said it is a common thing that happen with that PARTICULAR mad man, and according to you the mad man called you by a name only your grandpa calls you who is now dead.
My guess is the madman is a medium and it is the spirit of your grandpa that is controlling him at that time.
And from your friend's statement, other spirits have also communicated through him, next time wait and hear what he has to say.

Princewilla:

go back and give him something, he begged for something.

TomHagen:

Yes, but remember that the nature of the evidence is anecdotal. It could be true but it is also possible that the storyteller is a Nairaland Christian sockpuppet, someone who is hell-bent on inventing a thought puzzle for atheist to solve.
I would love to hear the testimony of Hausa, Yoruba, or Ijaw people who may have passed by the madman. Is this talent reserved only for human pedestrians who are of Igbo descent?
Without being able to authenticate the story, all I can say is that it defies credulity. It may be that he witnessed a true manifestation of the so called psychic endowment.

Weah96:

I know the op has heard these stories so he decided to personalize it to pull words out of our mouths. I have advised him. The mad man shld be able to give him sure lottery numbers. When he has made at least 50million from it, he shld come and open a thread. Then I will take him serious.

heheheheheh! That is how people end up taking instructions from a lunatic. Even the instructions he received from his many years of education has obviously not been put to good use, it is instructions from a mad man that he shld listen to. Hmmmm... No wonder people kill their parents claiming "god" told them to. What if the mad man asks him to kill justlove91, telling him you are the reason why he is not making progress in life? What would you say? Ohhh! You wld say that is not possible. But assume you are a close friend to this op but you just don't know he is the one, and the mad man describes you accurately to him and asks him to kill you. I am sure then you wld come back to your senses and ask him why he was listening to a lunatic in the first place.

Very typical of you atheist; anything that beats your yeye, myopic logic, becomes nonsense and childish.
You always think everyone is crazy and you're the only ones sane.

I guess you're indirectly calling the OP silly, that's because he doesn't know what is saying right, but you that is not directly involved in his experience knows it better than him?

You guys display the worst type of bigotry that I have ever seen: forming science said this and did that, yet you yourselves can not do anything, except read, then come here and act like authors of knowledge.

It's obvious that your logic can not explain what the OP experienced, so just move on, instead of coming here to make a fool of yourself, thinking you're making sense.

Demons are real: they know everyone, they have background knowledge of everyone, and since they don't die, they can even tell you the name of your great grand father, through anyone or any means.

Op, I'm not surprised. These things happen and if you're aware of the realities of the world we live in, you wouldn't be surprised. I don't think there's anything to fear from the mad man.

Weah96:

Just say it is way above your "logic", instead of making it sound like the person narrating his experience is lying or crazy, that's disrespectful, and that's what I hate about atheist: they're very disrespectful.

OP I believe your story because something similar also happened to me. I remember stating here like 4 months ago when my dad died and I was walking to go get something in an area I went to visit and a particular mad woman was sitting outside a house and she saw me and got up and started talking directly and pointing at me while saying, " they want to take your glory but don't worry their time is up...thank your God, thank your God" she said it twice and started laughing....

That night I had a terrible nightmare where I was to be beheaded an the man who wanted to behead me was a notorious uncle of mine who happens to be my dads immediate younger brother and well known to be fetish in our village...He had even attempted killing my dad when I was much younger by sending hired assasins againts him.

I shot the man in the dream and woke up knowing something was going to happen. That same day the entire family was at his house to discuss how to go about my dads burial and this was at about 3pm and right there in his living room in front of us he slumped and died without warning...was certified dead at the hospital. Buried him and my dad same day.

A lot is going on in the world and skeptics would always think you are stupid or crazy but it doesn't change what you heard and experienced. God is real and so are demons but God retains all power and glory.

PS my experience was also a true experience which sent chills down my spine at that time.

Sooo OP lemme get this sh*t straight
You were coming back from church
You saw something like this happen
And rather than running back to church you ran to nairaland to look for a "logical explanation" when you're supposed to be coming to tell us the deliverance story
*in British cockney accent*
And you expect us to take you and the credibility of this story seriously
Lol

See the op may be telling the truth. Why? It had happened to me this year August to be precise. Guess what. I went to an electrical store and the man attending to me without knowing my name and without me speaking yoruba to know. Told me were I am from precisely, not the state, but my very local government, I was surprised and impressed, so I asked him what was the purpose of him telling me were I was from, he said he just does it for fun. No purpose. Nothing achieved. Some people wld have collected his phone number believing he had special powers.
By the way, he was igbo and he was drunk that early morning. Coincidences may be rare, but they happen anyway even if the chance is 1 out of 1 trillion, it still has a chance of happening so nothing special.

You are pathetic to say the least. Suddenly you also have a story similar to the OP just to lie about it and discredit the OP.

Before you say mine was also just concocted I am sure you remember my thread where I laid a lot bare and the thread I talked about the death of my father months ago...you were also one of my antagonists on that thread...

Unlike you I mentioned mine 4 months ago b4 this OP and here you are fabricating your lies just now. kontinuu lying for atheism...afterall lies are nothing to atheists.

jonbellion:

maybe 1 or 2 on nairaland but in the real world no and that is because the community is so infinitesimal.
However this is not about atheists its about liers and lying which I detest. He has commented like 3 or 4 times on this thread and never mentioned this earlier. Now suddenly he has a story similar to the OP and then says its coincidence...I suppose a man whom you have never met beforr and who has never met you would conveniently have your details under the most improbable conditions and you would swat it off and then use the same lie to discredit the OP.

In the kingdom of God its called the GIFT OF WORD OF KNOWLEDGE...e.g I have had times where it manifested through me... I would know names, dates, activities of people I have never met before...However it isnt permanent with me yet and comes and goes.

I have been able to accurately declare in detail crimes carried out by people in the coursr of ministration...their names and locations as revealed by the Holy spirit and also have declared into their future things that are to happen and they did word for word. On nairaland here I shared a testimony of a young lady I declared a marriage proposal in her life within 2 weeks and it happened as spoken and she is about to get married. She shared her own testimony live on nairaland on her thread.

God has revealed so many and still is but when anyone comes to make fun of truth its appalling. Just because you know no better you digress to ridicule? That is the height of bigotry as someone said earlier.

Atheism and lies run side by side.
