Limitations Of Infidelity Deities by Betti001(f): 8:35am On Jan 13, 2016
Hello House, my little friend is on my neck. She is working on her final year project, and wants to know the limitations of deities or cultural practices used in checking infidelities in our culture. They go by different names, but popular ones are Thunderbolt, Magun, Ekpo Nka Owo etc.

The questions are:

Do these deities act or are they effective on all forms of cheating such as Mouth Gig, MouthAction without penetration, fingering, kissing or mutual masturbations?

Do they work only when there is penetration? At least we all know any gesture that is reserved for the partner when performed on another person is cheating, but do these deities recognize these new concepts?

What is really the essence of these deities, to catch cheating partners or to punish (mostly kill) them?

She will so much appreciate your contributions. It is purely academic work and Nairaland.com will be acknowledged.

From my understanding, its not really deities per-say, but the use of specific medicines/charms at work. And I've only heard of ones that require penetration to work.

Hmmm
