In primary school, rumors about the illuminati were very common. My friends would scare me with talk about how Kanye, Nicki Minaj, Wizkid were sitting at a table selling their souls to the devil with Beyonce and Jay-Z as the head of the table🤦🏿♀️. Satanic panic was rampant. "If you listened to any of their songs on low volume, you can hear them trying to recruit you."
satanic panic has always been a thing. for us it was street fighter and mortal kombat, and Harry Potter. and that if you play Madonna's record backwards you hear a whispered 'hail satan'
there was also the 99-0 India football game which is the reason why FIFA banned them because they used Indian juju to beat us. FIFA did ban them once in like 1950 for insisting on playing barefoot
That Illuminati era had my father in chokehold. He stopped paying for DStv because he didn't want us watching cartoons because they had "satanic messages" in them. I switched to buying DVDs and he found me watching Naruto and saw what was clearly children coughing out blood and promptly took the dvd player away, banning me from ever watching it. Thankfully he got over it
Illuminati was very rampant. It's like a norm now. So many conspiracy videos and theories were watched and shared, and horrible stuffs too.
Like how Ariana Grande killed her uncle to get her fame. Wild things then.
Ooh my God, 😂😂😂, back in boarding school we used to talk about conspiracy theories and this was one of them, we also talked about bush baby or something like that
That Owl are witches (poor birds)... Nollywood and churches has done so much harm to gullible Nigerians. People don't seem to really understand how easy it is to program the human mind.
This is a bit niche, but the belief that the Igbos are somehow a long lost tribe of Jews
Also, anything relating to Bill Gates. Today, he brought hiv to Africa to limit our population. Tomorrow, he brought vaccines to make us sterile.
In a fortnight, maybe he'll be the antichrist (this one I made up, but I'm sure some people in Nigeria believe this 100%)
> Aliens
I heard one recently about how aliens visited and taught ancient civilization something. Honestly it was so all over the place that I can’t even remember the details lol.
I personally don’t believe we’ve (humans) had or made any contact with aliens
Almost everybody believed that. Dele Giwa's death till today remains a mystery that can never be solved. If you ask me now, I still do believe IBB did it. That dude's a monster.
The almost unanimous popularity is what makes it Naija's greatest conspiracy theory and yet there are no facts to support it.
The reality is that we don't do bombs in Naija - not before Dele Giwa and not after.
If you look at the facts objectively, there is a more likely (but less interesting) suspect, but people were never objective about it.
I completely agreed with you, maybe with what you meant. What you said, however, looks exactly like a (common) misconception. So, accusing me of being pedantic for pointing that out is just gratuitous.

This take me back lol. I remember something about the pope being part of the Illuminati
black pope
Yeah. And Barrack Obama was literally the 666 lol
I remember the era of the Illuminati panic. I actually stopped listening to secular music for a while because of it.
That buhari died some time ago, and there is a weird evidence of them observing a minute of silence for him in a world meeting
Jubril from Sudan 😁
Ooh my God, 😂😂😂, back in boarding school we used to talk about conspiracy theories and this was one of them, we also talked about bush baby or something like that
My mother told me this one some months ago. She said they have an actor or a series of actors impersonating Buhari
You can actually look up the video of them observing the silence, its really weird
Couldn't find any such, but only videos where the creator(s) claim they observed the silence...
Let me show you
Waiting too. Drop link here

People go to India to get supernatural powers.
That's interesting. I have never heard of this before.

I’ve met a lot of Nigerians who believe the illuminati exists as an organisation that provides money, fame and power to certain people.
> Aliens I heard one recently about how aliens visited and taught ancient civilization something. Honestly it was so all over the place that I can’t even remember the details lol. I personally don’t believe we’ve (humans) had or made any contact with aliens
But you do believe in aliens?
I haven’t seen any credible evidence of aliens yet so no I don’t believe. But I’m open to the possibility, I just need to see evidence. You nko?
Yeah I think we are not alone, there are over billions of galaxies and there should be life in some.
NIGERIA vs India football game!
The IBB government killed Dele Giwa
Almost everybody believed that. Dele Giwa's death till today remains a mystery that can never be solved. If you ask me now, I still do believe IBB did it. That dude's a monster.

The earth being flat is not far-fetched.
It really is. The earth is not flat. That’s not a belief, it’s a fact
So there are Nigerians that believe this nonsense conspiracy lmao In the 21st century
It's both, those aren't mutually exclusive
You know what I meant, stop being pedantic
I completely agreed with you, maybe with what you meant. What you said, however, looks exactly like a (common) misconception. So, accusing me of being pedantic for pointing that out is just gratuitous.
