“She asked some questions about me and my right shoulder if I had an injury or something. I thought how would she know? I can see a hole in your aura on that side.
“I showed her my scar there and it was attracting bad energies and it gives them entrance into your whole being.

“This lady, she could read it or see it somehow and she gave me the advice to go to Nigeria and reconnect with the country.
