Cassava Stick To Chase Away Wall Geckos In Your Rooms.

Wall gecko. This little creature called wall gecko is one of the most powerful animals used by spiritual forces to perpetrate their nefarious act against human beings in the spiritual realm. Don't forget that spiritual controls the physical. Before anything manifests in the physical, it would have first been perfected in the  spiritual realm.  When forces want to come to where you're living and have personal contact with someone, they use wall gecko. It is simply for monitoring and to deposit some spiritual problem in the life of the host.  Anytime you see wall gecko in your room, or any part of the house, just know that, a particular force is already operating in your house and by extension, your life. At times, they will be hiding and you won't notice and they would be carrying out their assignment silently. The silent one is the most deadliest. With this, things would stop operating the way it should. Many things would start going wrong. Whatever it would take you, onc...

Why are their siblings not searching for them, even on social media? Or is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu a Chief of Army Staff or President who will order the killing of protesters at the (Lekki) Tollgate?” “They’re lying to us, they want to undermine the Yorubas, everyone should come out. It is a political game. It was Atiku and Obi that conspired to do all those things then.   In October 2020, thousands of youths trooped out to the streets in Nigeria and the diaspora, protesting extra judici...
