Those and many more were formulated to avert danger. And for children or youths, fears have to be created before they really comply. For example, "No 7" Eating in the dark could allow flies or dirt to enter the food unknowingly, which is not good for the health. 1 Like |

In Ireland we used to have a silly superstition SIMILAR to number 5. But number six is common (with minor variations) in MANY countries. |

I am from Ondo Town. It is a bad omen for a dog to dig the ground here. I know of two dogs that were gotten rid of (probably eaten as Ondo's eat dog ) Apparently, the person who got rid of the dogs later felt regret. It turns out dog dig the ground and then lie in it when they are hot. This is to enable them to cool down. It also ominous also for a dog to howl . Now why do dogs howl? |

Superstition was the only way African parent could control their kids without the use of the rod... maybe if there was some sort off superstitious belief attached to corruption who knows this country could have been better off.
