A Nigerian lady has recently gone viral on social media after passionately ranting about the unexpected passing of her 115-year-old uncle. The uncle reportedly died as a result of a “back to sender” charm, a spiritual reversal technique that returned a curse placed by the uncle back onto him.
According to the lady’s account, the charm had initially been placed by her uncle on someone’s farmland. However, through spiritual means, the intended victim was able to send the curse back, which tragically led to the death of her uncle. This event is especially notable considering her uncle was said to have practiced witchcraft for an astonishing 75 years without falling victim to such reversals until now.
The story was widely shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where the lady posted a video expressing her disbelief, frustration, and disappointment about her uncle’s demise. She revealed that she had known about her uncle’s advanced age for many years, having wondered since childhood why he lived so long.
In the video, she explained, “Since I was 7 years old, I’ve been waiting for Uncle to die because I didn’t understand his long life. I asked what killed him, and they said the ‘back to sender’ charm got him after he placed juju on someone’s farm.”
She further expressed her frustration with the uncle’s carelessness and perceived incompetence in his craft despite decades of experience, stating, “In 2025, Uncle was still putting juju on farms and getting caught. After 75 years of witchcraft, he still didn’t know how to do it well. That’s the problem.”
Mocking the limited scope of his lifestyle and travels, she added, “Since Uncle started doing charms, he never traveled abroad—only in and out of Benin and Benue.”
The video quickly drew widespread attention and engagement from social media users, sparking a variety of reactions in the comments section. Many users shared their perspectives on the story and her candid remarks about her uncle and witchcraft in general.
See some reactions below:
@mayor_Anambra: “First it’s obvious she thinks the uncle is part of her problem, that is why she hates him so much. At 115 years, the old man is probably still catering for himself because obviously his family thinks he is a witch. Some of us abandoned our elderly ones and accuse them of witchcraft.”
@mayor_Anambra: “Someone should tell her that the witchcraft she is so afraid of and hates with her life is now dead. Let her now achieve all her dreams, probably become the first lady, because all she is saying is that an old man of 115 years that they should be contributing to feed is a witch.”
@Oj_Roland: “The antivirus wey dey uncle JuJu don expire. Uncle no gree update to latest version.”
@BoladeKaalo: “Make I sha no hear rest in peace .. because uncle no go get peace ooo.. uncle go Dey wonder Dey vex for I’m self like dis.”
@SegunWi70687179: “😂😂😂😂something must kill uncle, uncle never take online course for juju Farmery.”
