I never believed in spells or magic not until I met Dr. Ogala My life is back !!! After 3 years of broken marriage, my wife left me with two children. I almost killed myself, I was emotionally broken down. Thanks to a spell caster called Dr Ogala who I met online. One faithful day while browsing the internet, I came across a lot of testimonials about this particular caster. Some people testified that he brought their ex-lover back, others testified that he restored their uterus, cured cancer and other diseases, others testified that he could cast a spell to stop the divorce. I also come across one particular testimony, it was from a woman called Sonia, she testified about how he brought her Ex lover back in less than 2 days, and at the end of her testimony she dropped his email (Drogalad02@gmail.com). After reading all of these testimonials, I decided to give it a try. I contacted him via his email and explained my problem to him. In just 48 hours, my wife came back to see me. We have solved our problems, and we are even happier than before, Dr Ogala is truly a talented man, I am not going to stop posting it because he is a wonderful man.

The people of that era spoke for themselves. They seceded to preserve the right to continue chatel slavery. It’s everywhere to read if people would just look. Try reading the dedication speeches for most of these monuments. If the racial animus and white supremacy they propagated does strike you, then I’m done. Move the monuments to some privately owned site where neo- confederates can go to view it.

This monument pays homage not only to him but ALL the brave men and young men and boys that so valiantly went off to serve their country. I DO NOT understand why people cannot stop and read this article about this monument. Maybe if the Courier Herald would publish the article it would shed some light on the biggest components of the argument to have it taken down, which is OF COURSE SLAVERY !! THIS MONUMENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SLAVERY!! IT IS PAYING RESPECT TO THE BRAVE MEN WHO WENT OFF TO FIGHT FOR THEIR COUNTRY AND THEIR FREEDOMS !! IF THIS MONUMENT COMES DOWN I WILL FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL TILL MY DYING TO SEE THAT A MONUMENT OF MLK IS REMOVED ONE FOR ONE , FOR EVERY CONFEDERATE MONUMENT THAT IS TAKEN DOWN !! THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN PIECES OF OUR HISTORY DESTROYED, NEVER TO REPLACED AS ORIGINAL ! FAIR IS FAIR !! YOU WANT YOUR HISTORY, WELL I WANT MINE, AND I WILL FIGHT TILL MY DYING DAY FOR MY CONFEDERATE HERITAGE !!
