Devil's Bean Plant - Werepe by kokoye(m): 3:17pm On Oct 28, 2008
Have you ever had an encounter with Werepe? I'm sure there wont be any need to describe it if you have grin

For those of you who have not, GOOD FOR YOU. If sprayed on you, you would go naked in less than a second - scratching and crying at the sametime.

God save you if you go take a shower - you'd go to hell and back.

Several yrs ago, some guy sprayed me with it during some school's Inter-house sports activities cos I was talking to some girl who wouldnt date him. The rest of the story is left to your imagination - I scratched blood out of my skin and still had to get out of my clothes.

You girls were mean back then, especially those thast went to boarding schools. My 11-old cousin moving to naija from zurich then attended FGGC akure - she came back from school after her very first break and stared chasing live snakes all over the place! She said she used to sleep with them in school.

It is not good to plan evil for another person,one of my senior maltreated me,to me it was unjustly but now i know that the guy was right.I called my friend that we should go and look for werepe and apply it on his chair.We got the werepe ready but it was late so i have to take it home so that i can use it the second day.I mistakenly put it on my bed and slept over it.I naked myself jumping up and down until my mama rub palm oil all over my body.It took me 3 days before the thing left because i had fever immediately.If you say We, before you complete it i have covered a kilometer.

Re: Devil's Bean Plant - Werepe by kokoye(m): 9:15pm On Oct 28, 2008
Have you seen a beans pod b4? the pod contains several beans grains.

Werepe is like that only bigger. The dried up ones are hairy.

The 'hairs' are the main culprits.

Re: Devil's Bean Plant - Werepe by bintab(f): 8:34am On Nov 02, 2008
I remembered adding some dried ones to our neighbour's bath water while in primary school.Myself and my younger sisters were testing the effect and it happened we targeted this guy who was always over protective about his compound and won't allowed we children to play. He was scratching like hell even though he already had palm oil paste all over him ,he came to report us to our father.We did denied the allegations ,because my papa fit kill us .hey sha we teach him a big lesson.
Re: Devil's Bean Plant - Werepe by TOYOSI20(f): 2:37am On Nov 03, 2008
@ A-40

Thanks for clarifying. . . . . .just realized Warapa can be described as Epilepsy.

Looks something like this, but I seem to remeber the pods being a bit darker in colour.
