It is the fascinating story of a Nigerian village that experienced a paranormal event.
According to the Nigerian newspaper Peoples Daily Time, Saidu Meshai Dulali, a village tea brewer, had “just finished his morning prayer at the local Mosque and was stoking up the stove for his day’s work.”
When suddenly, Saidu became aware of a pervading extremely bright light enveloping the atmosphere, followed by a sudden realisation that the heavens were falling on the village. As he looked up at the encroaching sky, he saw the most fascinating view of his forty years existence on planet earth.
According to Saidu: “There appeared a wide, large mass of something that looked like a cloud from nowhere and it was flying slowly over the village just at the height of an average tree.”
“The cloud was transparent and I saw beautiful tall buildings inside it. It was like a flying city. And from it I could hear the sound of machines making noise just as you would hear at Ashaka cement factory.”
To be fair if Saidu had of been the only witness of this brilliant yet strange experience, it pretty much would have been impossible to take his personal testimony as fact. But it was then discovered after his statement that the ‘flying city’ was witnessed by almost all of the villagers in the local area at the time, in fact hundreds of them, the Chief Imam of the sole village Mosque inclusive. Children and adults all saw and corroborated the exact same story!
No doubt they have experienced something paranormal but their perspective is so different than a western perspective. What they perceived the phenomena to be and its cause would seem very strange to us.
The villagers were of the consensus that what they witnessed was actually an act of God, for He alone is capable of making anything happen. According to Yau Kaugama, a Lanzai Ward political leader, who accompanied us to the interior village, “We believe it is a sign that in time to come something great will come out of that small village. Something like a great invention, that will affect the life of mankind.” More about this story Here and Here.
