-Never finger puss..y with your right hand else you begin to experience spasm. - when someone is rinsing his/her hand don't place yours under, he will be collecting your blessings if you do so. - dig a hole and urinate inside if you bed wet. - if one eat in the dream it's a bad sign in reality. 2 Likes |

Texasquare: Earlier this morning...someone put up pictures of King Jaja's wives on this forum...and several Nigerians looked at them disdainfully. Some were thankful for civilization..which prompted the question from me. Now...we have alist of superstitious beliefs....and some people are saying the same thing. I think the problem I have is that civilization is not a permanent thing...and is not necessarily the white man's civilization.I am not saying we should go back to archaic practices....but what I am saying is....what you are giving thanks for today will look archaic in a hundred years from now. The Ancient Romans built a lot of structures which have lasted centuries. They were ''civilized'' indeed. They also practiced slavery and infant exposure. Today's Western civilization has brought great benefits. It also brought us things like Eugenics, and weapons of mass destruction that have killed and maimed millions. African civilizations built great structures and monuments....and also practiced slavery and a host of other ''barbaric'' pracitices. But back then...it was civilized. It was indeed civilization. I think your problem is that you put too much trust in human progress...without keeping track of what goes on in human hearts. The funny thing is that what we consider civilized behaviour today may be archaic and barbaric in the future. Keep that in mind. And please you really really did not need to be so rude. I asked a philosophical question. I did not come to make crass comments...as I clearly indicated. God bless. 12 Likes |

I don't think having superstitious beliefs is primitive as some ppl on this thread think.In the West,they have superstitious 'taboos' like walking under a ladder,breaking glass/mirror etc |

Surprisingly, No. 1 and 6 works for me, whenever I hit my left leg on something while going to somewhere, that journey always turned futile, also whenever my right palm is scratching me I will always get money, I mean all the time so to me they really work. 2 Likes |

That No 9 is real. I witnessed it at Karmo in Abuja during their Tuesday market. Two Gbagi boys were arguing about it and the other bent down and looked between his legs Baba, it looked like film tricks but I saw magic that day, the guy just fell down and his neck turned sideways. He couldn't talk. Just laid down like a slowpoke. People had to carry him to one native healer. No 9, I no go ever try am. If u like believe it or go to a market Square and try it 1 Like 1 Share |

ebubey: What I was told was that if you look between your legs in a public place such as a market, you would notice that the feet of non-living persons do not touch the ground. Even though I was not told of any negative effect of looking between my legs in public, I have not yet tried it. |

ITbomb:I tink its all an alpha male ego issue. Just as is expected of a younger person to sleep on the inside of d bed. I remember back then when I was growing up dat wen u eat in group, its d eldest dat washes his hands first, picks d meat or shares it among u, and u're not allowed to wash ur hands before him after eating even when u're satisfied and he's still eating. #timeshavechanged # boiz are men |
