Another definition of the name traces to the early Sudanese society where the word wata referred to a woman.

We would like to ask you if there is a protection spell we can do to make sure they never step into the property ever again? I feel very strongly about these visits from the ex-wife and I know my feels worse than I. We have been paying for everything from bricks to cement and all expenses related to building the place up whereas my bil's has only invested his time and manpower. I am quite worried that one day something terrible would happen and my sister and I would lose everything we had invested in the place. They do not visit when we are there though but one can see the things they leave behind as though they live there. The thing is, he is very close to his ex-wife and family, they visit the place often and stay over sometimes. My sister and I still live and work here in another country (our plan is to move to the property once it is up and running) whilst my b.i.l tends to the development and construction of the property. He is my sister's husband and citizen of the country. As non-citizens of the country, we had the deeds etc in my brother in law's name. Hi, my sis and I purchased a property with hopes of turning part of the estate into farming and agriculture.
