Here is a story I heard while in Ghana how true it is I don’t know.
In a town called Kumasi is a very old fortress built by one of the ruling colonial furthers I don’t know who?
The story goes that when Ghana was raped of its treasures the invadeders had no where to keep it so it was put in the gunpowder room at the fortress which had a steel door and on it with the word danger written on it.
The local tribesmen did not know what DANGER meant and were told Whiteman’s Voodoo so they never went near it.
After a number of years of being ruled by these invaders the chiefs of the local tribes realized if all the tribes got together they had a good chance of ousting the invaders and that’s what they did and took the country back
After many many years another invader came with much bigger forces and invaded and conquered the country. When they got to the fortress at Kumasi they opened the Gunpowder room door and all the treasures were still there. During all those years the tribesmen would not open it. Whiteman’s VOODOO.

| White invaders in the colonial era and African treasures! do you honestly believe they would have left those treasures there for years. European invaders who came about two centuries ago will definitely had some where to keep it - they will bring it back to Europe. The Almoravids of the 10th [after defeating Ghana] century would have cross North Africa and take them back home. I think someone was taking the 'micky' out of you. |

Snuggels!
That was very disrespectful. Just because you are of a different faith [or perhaps no faith] does not mean you have to insult other people's religion. If you do not agree with it, bestow to them the same respect you offer other religions and let them practice their own in peace without demonising them. That is the noble thing to do. Haven't your religion taught you that? The same holds even if you belong to no religion. |

By asking such a question of Snuggels, are u saying that Voodoo is real?
I am not referring to Voodoo as a Religion, but as a spirit capturing, spell invoking tool. |

Jamming, the reality or not of Vudoo was just a simple question to Snuggles. I don't know what you are talking about but "a spirit capturing, spell invoking tool", is NOT Vudoo. Probably, you should get your awareness of certain issues outside of Hollywood and pop culture. |
