The Mysterious Removal of Pins from the Body
A woman, known online as @nneka_of_ggi, has shared a shocking video on TikTok revealing the pins she claims were removed from her body during a visit to her village in Anambra. Her story has sparked widespread interest and debate, especially among those familiar with traditional practices in the region.
According to her, the purpose of her trip was to remove her mother’s burial cloth, which is a significant ritual in some local cultures. However, during this visit, she decided to undergo a traditional check-up, which led to the removal of several pins from her body. In the video, she explains that if people do not have themselves checked traditionally before receiving injections, it could lead to serious consequences, even death.
The video includes text overlays that state: “If you are an Anambarian, you should be very familiar with this place. We travelled to the village for the removal of my mum's burial cloth, so we decided to go and check ourselves, and a pin was removed from our body.” She emphasizes that the process is crucial, warning others to always get checked before returning home.
Understanding the Implications of the Pins
In the comments section of her video, the woman elaborates on the significance of the pins. She explains that they are believed to be placed by evil individuals, causing illness over time. If someone takes an injection without first having them removed, it could result in severe harm or even death. Her message is clear: “Please, if you are an Anambarian and you travel to the village, always go to Nanka and check yourself before traveling back.”
She also shares that seven pins were removed from her brother’s body and five from her cousin’s. This highlights the prevalence of such practices in the community, suggesting that many people may be undergoing similar procedures without fully understanding the reasons behind them.
Reactions from the Public
The video has generated numerous responses from viewers, many of whom share their own experiences. One user, monraeanna, recounts how she once fell ill after taking an injection and nearly died. She later returned to the village, where 16 pins were removed from her chest. Another user, C 💜 N🥰 Y, mentions that she removes pins every week and struggles with headaches, indicating that the practice might be more common than expected.
Joyce shares a heartbreaking story about her mother, who passed away after being unaware of the presence of pins in her body. Amaka, another viewer, expresses surprise at seeing the process firsthand, while Kene🦹♀️🦋 talks about the experience of having 11 pins removed from her body.
Some users, like h and Veo_classik❤️💍, question the authenticity of the practice, wondering if men might be involved in placing the pins. Meanwhile, kiz_presh warns that the process might need to be repeated, suggesting that the issue is not one-time but ongoing.
Post-Surgery Safety Rules
While the focus of the video is on the removal of pins, it’s important to consider the medical aspect. According to the Infection Cycle, keeping incision wounds clean is essential to prevent infection or fever. Patients are also advised to complete any prescribed antibiotics to ensure full recovery.
Charms Removed in the Village
Earlier reports indicate that a similar incident occurred when a woman shared a now-deleted TikTok video showing the charms removed from her body. In the video, she claimed that a native doctor removed pins from various parts of her body, including her mammary glands, legs, eyes, and abdomen. She stated that this was not the first time she had undergone such a procedure, emphasizing that the practice is deeply rooted in her village's traditions.
The woman described a belief that certain charms can make people sick without them realizing it, often involving the use of pins. While the origins of these practices remain unclear, they continue to play a role in the cultural and spiritual lives of many in the region.
