Does Diminutive Gnome Mat (eni Egbere) Still Bring Money? (picture) by agarawu23(m): 3:30pm On Dec 19, 2015
Happy week end nlders.

My topic is on the mat of diminutive gnome (eni egbere" in Yoruba language) that do give people money when being snatch from them.

Please and please no religion crap on this thread because this is culture and old blv so I don't want Bible/Quran quote/verses here. wink


Diminutive gnome definition in Western country?
Homunculi – or Gnome. A diminutive Hominid species found in the wilds of the Arctic Circle, they are the smallest known relative of Homo Sapien. They build burrows like that of a badger, and use their large, spade like feet to dig these sets. Although their physiology is remarkably similar to us, their evolution has endowed them with some curious and fascinating traits.

Egbere" definition as believed in Africa/ Yoruba's? In the African Yoruba mythology, Egbere is a malevolent spirit that inhabits woods and is seen at night.

It is said to be a malevolent spirit with a short stature, and claims to owns a mat of wealth, that whoever took it from him will be rich beyond imagination. Source https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egbere

My question,

Do these spirit still exist?
How do Hunter's/ people find them?

I heard different stories while in school about them and I was told if you get their mat and sleep on it for 7days, (without giving it back to the spirit when it comes crying and pleading for the mat within that 7 days) you will be rich like dangote and mike Adenuga grin

How real is this story?

Anybody still believe extrterrestrials don't exist? Well there they are in the links the op provided. These are the failed ones, Mixing uncompatible genes produces ugly creatures which were ugly in the face of the Creators(Black People), So We helped them produce better ones from very astute animal genes to get what we know s the greys, the reptilians, and the third that looks more like the european people(european genes+mammals). These intelligent extra-terrestrial then went to to be mixing their genes within themselves and other life materials to produce a whole lot more humanoid creatures. Till this very day, the caucasians, mongolians and the greeks and also all the extra-terrestrials are still producing other creatures. The question is why?

This figure is very similar to the deity in Fulani cosmogony, Kumen (who can take the shape of a child or a bearded dwarf). He's seen as a provider of wealth (gold and knowledge) because if he gives or lend you his calabash, you will find gold in it everyday you wake up.
