Reincarnation: A Mystery? Share Your Stories by HenryQuest(m): 5:33pm On Jul 30, 2015 |
It's widely believed in Africa that dead family members come back to their families or extended families as new born babies. This belief is widely spread by most African philosophers. There's hardly a community in Africa that doesn't believe in reincarnation. Though the popularity of this belief is fast winding down due to the emergence of modern day religion, there are still a lot of adherents of this belief. On a personal note, I was told that I'm a 'reincarnate' of my late uncle who died while fighting during the Nigerian civil war. I try not to believe it but the signs are very clear and would anybody in my shoes to ponder over it. The said uncle of mine was killed by a gunshot, and I have serious phobia for guns and even the sound of gunshots. You need to see how scared I can become whenever I hear a gunshot fired kilometres away from wherever I am. He didn't eat soup while on earth, and I don't eat soup. There are many others. Note: it's believed that only those that lived good lives on earth can reincarnate. Share your opinion and/or related stories with us. Thanks. |
