NEIGHBORHOOD STRESS SPIRITS


Have you ever lived in a public vicinity in a country like Nigeria? You surely would have experienced neighborhood stress spirits. And I am not saying the private vicinities there are better, because like they say, they'd still follow you "bumper to bumper". Neighborhood Stress spirits are noisy, disturbing activities of peoples in neighborhoods, often exhibited by witches and wizards, with the aim of negatively affecting or destroying one's mental health. Imagine a person playing a radio set by your door while you are just about to catch a sleep, so you don't, and claiming they are sitting by their own door, as if the sound never travelled to and disturbed you. Some senseless argument often of irrational peoples who live in the popular FACE ME, I FACE YOU Nigerian housing demonic function or any variation of it or related apartment structure. And while he is thru playing the set, another begins to pound as if to cut off your heart. When they are thru, another starts sneezing, probably when you are eating. After that, their cursed Children begin to scream, running around and disturbing. By now, it would have been evening, and you would be happy you might just catch some sleep, but someone begins to fire a generator just by your window. And you dare not speak up or he matchets you. At about 9:00pm, the generator would have been off, but a guy and a lady would be sitting by your window to discuss in the name of having a dry, inexistent love conversation till 11:00 pm, and you dare not challenge them. At night, birds would be crying in the vicinity, dragons walking on your roof, and cats and dogs taking their turn to disturb, so you end up not sleeping at all, plus that you pay the rents. You are woken by people coughing hard, scummy spitum by your window. In the morning, a church nearby would have started hollering till probably about 12:00 noon. You can't sleep and are having sleep difficulty or insomnia. The witches and wizards who do this themselves may find time to fully relax their nerves without your interference or even stand full time stress because of "what they swallow". People would advice you pack away from the premises, but it's useless doing so, because the same people know it's a generality and a common Nigerian problem, as you are bound to experience even more of these at a new premises. Nigerians are witches and wizards. Nearly 80% of them truly are, while they claim to be the most religious people on earth, which is useless, because their actions betray their religious claim. These witches and wizards who are trainned to disturb others in the neighborhood and who do so assiduously, have no right to do so, except that there is no law in Nigeria. Almost everybody in the country is a witch or wizard, and woe betides you if you're not. Young people of the Olumba Obu Secret Witchcraft School owned by Roland Obu, son of the late Olumba Olumba Obu, a false prophet and acclaimed pastor of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, do it differently. Fifty boys and girls are kept waiting somewhere around, very consciously. One walks up to your window or door and stands to talk with another for a while. You are disturbed. After two minutes, another comes and does the same thing. You may feel like talking to them or not, but the truth is all fifty must come and repeat the same thing in what may seem fifty times five minutes or two hundred and fifty minutes or roughly four straight, compressed, saddening, restless hours, and may beat or harm you if you dare speak. Now, Roland Obu, like his father Olumba Olumba Obu did, is the secret owner of the FEDERAL NEURO-PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL IN CALABAR, SITUATED AT #123, CALABAR ROAD IN CALABAR, NIGERIA, and employs only all brands of witches and wizards as staff, whose duty is to kill any unfortunate person referred there for treatment, either physically or spiritually.The stress the individual experiences is compounded. These pseudo-psychiatrists who have made a mess of the medical practice in the country, would not blame the people in your neighborhood causing you stress, but would be quick to label you a Maniac if you spoke out about these activities, forgetting that ordinary psychology teaches us of the impact of accumulated stress, while using police officers to threaten and only label and subjugate, torture and torment the best minds in the world, at times to death, through this guise of medical treatment, often taking things personal, because they are anything opposed to good destiny and are threatened by your purposeful life, simply because theirs lack one while they serve the devil. The same hospital never discharges its patients nor grants the liberty to go to some other facilities or apply methods of their choice in handling these stress related problems, but offers only TRIAL LEAVES, A USUAL RECYCLE SPIRIT OF A DEATH SENTENCE. The essence of the whole neighborhood stress spirit is to finally sell you to this so called "strong man" or his hospital, who should kill you and exterminate your destiny, a popular practice of this hospital and its staff. This is also known to be a particular practice of witches and wizards wherever a nervous hospital is situated, so that rather than serve as a health saving center, it is a destruction center.
