faith551:The op says this bush baby is a myth. I live in an off-camp hostel, and have, a few times, heard the sound of a crying baby at night in my compound. No little babies around. Thought I was hearing things. It was scary. Couldn't ask my neighbors for fear I was the only one hearing it. Until I got talking with one and accidentally mentioned it. She said it was a bush baby. That was the first time I'd heard of such. She says it's an animal with a baby's cry. It's the only explanation that jibes with what I heard, because I don't put much stock in witches and the like. |

Wryhder: Maybe the reason the op termed it a myth is because the animal might probably be harmless and not evil as it was thought to be. There are few animals that make human like sounds, a hyena for example could closely sound like its laughing. 1 Like 1 Share |

Akinwunm1:I'm frm Delta State, nd I hav heard about all those superstitious stories countless times. They ar false. As an educatd person, u supposd to knw better nd shuld b in positn to emancipate d unenlightened illiterates frm such darkness of ingnorance. I'm a lover of history, nd hav com to undastnd thru researchs nd investigtn dat many of those stories or myths were mere fabricatns by our cunny ancestors to instil fear in d minds of stubborn pipo nd bring them unda control. For exmple, it is only a half-baked educatd person wil believ d myth dat Oduduwa fell frm d sky, or dat pythons carry diamonds in dia stomachs which they vomit out wen they want to eat in d night nd dat d illuminatn frm d diamond cover several kilometrs, or dat Nigeria playd football match wit India in which India beat Nigeria 99 goals to 1 wen India culdn't even reach qtr-finals in past Asian Cup competitns. |

People will believe what they want to believe, myth or not.Education sometimes has nothing to do wether one believe myths are true or not, if you think all these things are myths, travel to some state in yoruba land and dare their myths you go sabi God if you still dey alive. |
