Omg the little boy!!! He's a great storyteller. Way to go to you dad

[@DavidHassan-d3v]

Not only is MedicineShell an eloquent presenter but a classic hiphop fan. The wutang background music with your son narrating the story of Chi and Eke went over my head for a second. Great job brother

[@TheMedicineShell]

ha! glad someone caught it #WhenIwaslittle

[@chinuzoka6087]

First thing that came to mind was Liquid Swords!

[@TheRealKulprit]

The little one speaking over it also made it easier to catch 😀

[@najitephoenix]

Love this. I'm sitting with my 3 year old in the room while listening and as soon as he heard your son he said "Hi!" Then came and sat next to me to listen and watch. He then got down about a second before he finished, as if he knew his part was coming to the end lol. (Maybe a coincidence, but still funny). Anyway, well done little man. Great storyteller.

[@healingthecollective]

Very powerful video, especially to hear about Ara Agwu! Thank you for sharing your indigenous Odinani wisdom 🙏🏾

[@court3348]

There ought to be a law for any sound effects requiring an ‘explosion,’ Nnamdi’s sound effect must be used. There is an understated quality to it. Explosions are loud! Can an explosion be quiet and have the same force and fierceness? I think your Son’s explosion carries that idea. Brilliant episode…one of the most powerful to reshape and reframe how we understands ourselves and relationships with not only other people but all the Divine forces.

[@Omniklix]

I appreciate the young spirit speaking about what he has learned . I appreciate this video .

[@indigophoenixskies1030]

Aww thw sweet baby! He sounds like a cutie! ❤🎉

[@deandragivens]

A. Nature, because I’ve seen some people flourish after situations that folded others. I’ve also had and been around many children, and even as babies they had very different personalities. Great storytelling by the young one ❤.

[@Sibariafay]

🧚🏽Immortal Superhero Nnamdi, Your Story Telling was out of this world Amazing!!!! Can’t wait to hear Your next Story Young Man!🧚🏽

[@LucidlyJaded]

I would love to see a sacred trees/roots/ herbs video 💚

[@sherekaregina9196]

This was awesome! I think A

[@imomoh4701]

Please if you can add chapters to the video so we can easily go back to segments of the video. Thank you so much for your work 🌹

[@EdithEkwealor]

Look at our Nnamdi o 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 🥂 to you Derick, great work you’ve done with the boy To answer the question, nature is the primary force responsible for an individual. Thanks for this exceptional explanation as always, I’m voting for a video on possession too

[@Vanessa-yp4pv]

Would love a video on sacred trees + music. This was amazing! Thank you

[@yahisgreater5569]

Please do the video on vibrations of music as well . I’m dancer and I love to learn about this

[@court3348]

A - Nature is the primary force influencing personality from the 2 options. We only need to look at our families for proof. I grew up in a largely dysfunctional household as it pertains to relationships. If nurture is predominant then I should have nothing but dysfunctional relationships. This is the opposite of my life.

[@stevenlee2484]

Please do a video on Awele

[@therudemechanicals2173]

B. Your nature has influence over how you react to situations but the situations you are put through in your life are what you think back to before you make most decisions

[@nedumndiulor6345]

I love the story by your kid

[@yahisgreater5569]

PLEASE do a video on possession I literally just came across your channel and I’m very intrigued

[@bodysacredness2593]

please make a video on spirit spouses

[@mugeniallan2038]

Like a dance, both entwines to make being.

[@ElevateYourConsciousness]

Need a video on sacred music

[@hahaha70263]

Wonderful vid. I liked the part of your son telling the Igbo creation story. I would like a vid about Akaogheli and sacred medicinal plants.

[@deepafroculture]

You are incredibly good nwanne

[@desireefoster4072]

A . Nature Thank you

[@ndgloimage536]

[@everlasthn]

[@CrimsonTitan-IkengaNaAto]

Excellent storytelling! please do the ezumezu video. Thank you.

[@sir_jon]

sacred trees, roots, herbs

[@earth_to_kelechi]

I pick “A” that is ,I believe nature is primarily responsible for a person’s personality

[@derauncharles715]

B…I believe Nuture even though I can’t downplay one’s nature they are born with… However one can have a great nature and be completely changed because of the environment they are raised in… Nnamdi was great Derick…Infinite peace love prosperity and positivity to you and your entire family Derick 🙏🏽✊🏽💪🏽🦍🐏🦅🐆

[@00788]

What a fantastic channel Man! Hat off to you Brother what in-depth info My mother found some Igbu in her DNA testing

[@00788]

This ARA on a global level means that there’s some establishments of power that have gonna mad! When you apply your discourse to their actions

[@Howl_with_dabigg_wolve]

Please make a video on scared music.

[@raslynroyal]

There’s just so many ara. At this point are we just ara trying to get in order?

[@kupewataaka6917]

Something just hit me like a light bulb! When talked about everybody has got their own chi, and their own purpose here. I realized modern day society clumps is up into clutters like we have the same chi. We all select a career from a small group of professions etc

[@urbanCruise]

Awele video please

[@ElevateYourConsciousness]

Need a video on awele

[@kreativeforce532]

A- nature forms the core of who one is and starts the course of ones patterns. Nurture alters the patterns and also forms the flimsy surface personality. 👐🏿 forever.

[@Aaron_Davis]

Nature

[@mrhimselfalone7657]

Nature nurtures nature

[@BisiLIFE]

Nwanne m oma Mma mma ooo! I love your videos sha😞 I wish I had these when I was growing up, Eziokwu ChiNaEke A bụ m onye Igbo, mana amuru m obodo bekee, UK. I and my siblings were raised Christian. My junior brother struggled his whole life because of identity. Okwu a I kwuru, banyere Agwu na Ara... Ọ bụ eziokwu 😞 It effects MANY if not MOST Afrikan men born and/or raised na obodo bekee, Who are CHRISTIANS, Yet struggle living the Christian reality, IN LIGHT OF, their knowledge of history 😞 I've seen MEN, plural Suffer what you said😞

[@Kannon_G]

[@jammyettehunsinger2221]

If I had to choose one.. I'd choose B. Nurture... but both plays a part

[@MagickJay-n5k]

B...you can study Nature and see ...jus look at Animals in the zoo as opposed to that same species in the wild. Ya Son on the Vid Beautiful ⚡🔥...
