My bunkmate in sec school suffered terribly in the hands of those evil spirits. Of course, she was a Muslim. You'll see her being dragged by invisible force, hitting her against hard surfaces, talking to trees e.t.c until a mallam came to pray for her.

That bush baby is called egbere in yoruba land.
Legend has it that, the egbere has a mat that it carries around, this mat is belived to have mystical powers, It is also belived that anybody that steals the mat from the egbere will have to endure the crying. This means that the egbere[/b]will stay by the window side of the person every night, crying and begging the person to return its mat.. If such a person can endure the crying for some weeks, the [b]egbere will leave the person.. Afterwards, such a person will get stinkingly rich.

There are plenty of other yoruba myths, i will be back with more.

*modified*

There are also allegations of Bush rats having mystical powers. Bush rats are called okete (im not sure if i got the spelling).

There has been different stories of Bush Rats[/b]having the ability to turn into human beings on market days and go to the market and buy food..

There are also some hunters that have allegedly seen these bush rats in the jungle at night, walking with their two hind legs and carrying stuffs like yams, fruits, etc on their heads and walking like human beings.
Now, i can attest to this coz, i once went hunting with my friends in my village before and when we were trying to fish a [b]bush rat out of its hole, we found ingridents like maggi, onion e.t.c inside its hole.. (we ran for our lives )


My dad also told me once that if you wash a mortar, and you use the water from it to wash your face, then proceed to any market spuare, you will have the ability to see ghosts and different demons in form of human beings that come and buy food..(i have not tried this oo)

"Sigidi" means effigy in Yoruba language. What you're referring to is "Egbere"; known for its endless, annoying cries before being seen or spotted. When a child cries continuously in Yoruba land, such a child is said to cry like an "Egbere".

*Then there is the myth of inviting snakes when you whistle at noon.
*Another myth is that of the broom being used on a male child. Belief has it that such a child's joystick would shrink

Can't remember most for now though.
Damn! An Urhobo guy deeply rooted into the Yoruba culture

There are some villages where you don't kill pythons. I have personally experienced it in my mum's village. I really don't know how it works but big Pythons don't have people and you don't kill them too. Those pythons scared the life out of me when they come close to me without knowing as a kid

Yorubaland is dia central capital. Yorubaland is notorious for idol-worshippin, paganism, charm-makin, superstitious beliefs, voodoism, nd other sorts of diabolic practices. U pipo hav to repent nd embrace d Light of God.

I still don't believe in all these... They are called myths for a reason. Have heard so many things, still haven't experienced any and finding it difficult to rationalize it all.

I tink u r talkin abt d old yorubaland. Its nt as serz as d@ anymore since d time of babalola N co.......yorubaland has really ambraced christianity N islam..... Out of 10 yoruba pple 5 is christian 4 a muslim N 1 a juju-specialist....

There is this river ELEMI in ilogbo, Igede ekiti before Iyin ekiti. it is believed that no matter how much you cook the fish from the river , e no go ever dorn...... lailai.

i heard the river dried up when they stopped worshiping it.....it transformed into a beautiful goddess , walked to d king palace and gave them warning...

if you doubt......enter bus to ekiti...drop for ilogbo baptist church in Igede ekiti.........

Is dat not a terrible lie? And u believ it? It is a shame dat many educatd pipo stil believ such superstitious stories met to deciev unwise nd guillable pipo in d past. One major reason why Africa is d way it is today is too much diabolic beliefs, as educatn has not realy tranformd d mentality, nd life-views or reality of many so-calld educatd Africans.

Awesome.
