Crazy But True Facts About Culture by remecy(f): 11:18am On Jul 15, 2013
Culture is a way of life for different people and as such what is good for the goose in your culture might not be good for same goose in mine.
What is the craziest fetish but true fact you have ever seen or heard about a culture, people or state,within or outside Nigeria......
1) in Delta, if you kill a monitor lizard, you bury just like you bury human being.
2) in Edo, Owan, if a woman cheats on her hubby and he is aware and still sleeps with her or shred uses her boyfriend money cook for him,the hubby will die and her children falls sick.
Lets hear yours............

If a woman is unfaithful to her hubby,he will die or his business will collapse
If you kill a python ,you will bury it the way you bury a human being ie with party,coffin and every.
You don't walk over someone's legs ie if someone is sitting with legs stretched out,you walk around the legs not over the legs .
