I love this piece! You've successfully enlightened more Nigerians to know how to distinguish between rare but mere natural occurrences from conjectures that are most likely less probable.

I wrote a similar but more thorough article on this topic: "On the prevailing belief in Juju among Nigerians."

Here's a Medium link to it: https://damilosky.medium.com/on-the-prevailing-belief-in-juju-among-nigerians-1834657f7fe0

We have a lot of work to do in educating more Nigerians especially how they think of the mystic enterprise.

Once again, you did a great job.

Bravo :)

Another amazing read Fu'ad! Love it

I actually shared this with my mum, She believes all these kinds of things, I know it will end with a phone call prayer session, but worth it. LOL
