TIME TO REVIVE OR UNDERSTAND AFRICAN TRADITIONAL RELIGION

https://fb.watch/eG9aJsaLW6/

Nigeria is a complex country. This mob based on Native beliefs believes this man or wizard hypnotized this underage girl to keep her in his home. 

The brought him before the Emir or emirate council and carried out some procedures the believe would release the supposed spell he cast on this girl. If the police were not there this wizard may have been set ablaze like many suspected witches and abiku children are in Africa.

Although the court is Islamic their actions have nothing to do with religion but all about Native beliefs being weaved into and confused with the practice of Islam. Before the invasion of Islam Hausa animism or Bori was and perhaps still is the native religion of Hausa people and it deals with spirit possession.

It is not difficult to believe that other tribes would reach the same conclusion and resort to the same de-hypnotized process. We typically lump the whole north as Hausa or Fulani but they have many other minority ethnicities within these emirate councils. 

Truth be told most tribes in Nigeria are really not that different by tradition, i.e. Polygamy, tribal marks, birth marking, and if not for Islam and Christianity the similarities would be clearer. 

Many Nigerians already westernized might look here and not notice our mini real life version of the Exorcist movie playing out and view Nigerians consulting their local oracles and dieties (patron saints) as strange as illicit gin, but the joke is on brainwashed Nigerians.

I would not be surprised that pious Muslims consult their tribal and ethnic oracles aka juju men just as Christians go to church during the day and go to badoo or Okija shrine at night.

Africa will develop faster if it sheds itself of Abrahemic religions and finds itself through getting reacquainted with fading traditions and paying homage to its weeping and neglected GODS and dieties if Africa ever plans to cast off the spell of western mental domination of its processes and end its copy cat culture.

Economics - Another Useless Degree in Nigeria

To those studying Economics hoping for a banking career, please understand that With the increasing sophistication of electronic banking, transfer services, ATM’s and POS machines, the need for bankers will fall and there will be a decline in recruitment in that area. To be more concise, ECONOMICS is one of the growing number of useless courses if the curriculum is not quantitative based and focused on modeling outcomes and forecasting trends based on real time statistics and data.  Here are the jobs available to Economics graduates overseas: 1. Economist  2. Financial risk analyst 3. Data Analyst 4. Financial Planner 5. Accountant 6. Economic Researcher 7. Financial Consultant 8. Investment Analyst  9. Actuary 10. teaching 11. Public sector Based on this list, we can immediately eliminate 2,4,8,9, give some deferential award to 1,3,6 that in Nigeria all lead to 11 in policy roles, with the remaining extract from all defaulting to 10 or finally outside economics in the wo...

Re-Indoctrination Before Restructuring

Whenever you talk about poor governance, Nigerians always mention restructuring as the catch all panacea to fix all problems and issues. But very few Nigerians really know what type of restructuring is needed or how to secure this much needed restructuring in practice.  Many believe restructuring is about returning to the regional government system predating 1966, and tagging on a few new regions, while others wish to retain the federalist state structure and others wish for tribal governments for each of Nigeria nearly 360 indigenous tribes.  Others talk about super imposing a true federalist structures over whatever system but to ensure regional control of resources, most of that agitation seems to be driven by the south east and south-south zones sitting on crude oil reserves, followed by a devolution of items on the exclusive list to those new federalist units.  Others see restructuring as repeal of the 1999 constitution in its entirety and fashioning a new constituti...

PRESIDENT BUHARI’S DESTINED TO FAIL PROVINCIAL ECONOMIC POLICIES

Where is Nigeria’s Minister of State, Kachikwu? Apparently, he has been sidelined in favor of Baru searching for crude in the lake chad Basin.  It is not enough that Nigeria has been structured on a ridiculously, uneconomic and wasteful system of drilling in the south and pipelining the crude all the way up to Kaduna for refinement.  Now Buhari has become fixated with finding oil in the north to complete his economic linkage plan after the planned completion of the dry inland port and a railway linking from there all the way to Chad and Cameroon for his Kanuri relative smugglers to prosper selling petrol and other banned items without paying Nigeria excise duties unlike the militarized border around Lagos with the republic of Benin. You can almost feel the gasping for air exasperation of Buhari as he is confronted with yet another failure to find crude and I can hear his iron willed response to keep on drilling to find oil at all costs so he and the north can be rid or done wi...
