Can anyone tell me the read deal behind not allowing a
girl to sleep on the outside of the bed? Anything
superstitious?
I went to visit a friend, the gf told me he has been
vexed,he came back while she was sleeping and he
woke her to shift for him. She sleepily told him to enter
the other side of the bed and sleep and then wahala
started.
I just want to point out some superstitious beliefs we
were made to believe while growing up.
*I heared if you eat mango with garri.you’ll die. Now,
I don’t know where my aunt got this from,all I remember
is having to wait for 2 to 3 hours before taking garri
after sucking mango.
*crossing over someone Lying down.
If you cross over
me then,I swear,you’ll have to cross me back before
you’ll have peace.we can play football together,hide and
seek,police and thief,no problem,I then decide to lay my
exhausted body on the floor to rest,that’s when you’ll
see me as an obstacle to learn jumping..Hmmm,only
God knows where the strength will come from,I’d be
yelling “cross over me back,u must cross over me o,I
won’t gree..Lol,Like I know what it means..
*Eating in the dark.
When I asked seun in primary
school why it isn’t good to eat in the dark,he said it
gives room to the dead to dine with you which in turn
could result to your death.Seun,If you are reading
this,Wehdone! I think I now know the reason for that.It
wouldn’t be nice if you are treated to a sumptuous meal
by your mom and *NEPA* decides to do what they
know best..hehe..your bro decides to power on the gen
but that doesn’t concern you as long as you know where
your mouth is..Light on,you find one of those hungry
cockroaches on the handful of Eba you are about
swallowing staring at you like”Do you wish to be
unfortunate?”…
*Hitting a man with a broom would make him Impotent.
Errhmm,you see,long time ago there’s one broda Femi
living close,whose mum results to using broom anytime
he delivers his atrocities,I think maybe because it was
always the weapon close that time..women in the area
would come around pacifying her while chanting these
words”okunrin ni o”(he is a male).Me and my clique
would be laughing & saying”He’s gonna be impotent”…
That was a long time ago. Now,just last week,been on
holiday from school,I was opportuned to witness an
event on monday. A lady and her mother threw the
neighbourhood into a kerfuffle.Bro Femi impregnated a
girl. As if that was not enough,another lady came on
thursday for the same issue…I was now
wondering,shebi bro Femi is impotent,hw come?
*Don’ eat food that has fallen on the floor.
The finishing
to that statement is,Satan has eaten it already. Have lost
count on the number of chin chin & the likes that I forfeited for that statement.When you try picking food
off the floor,like an alarm,it rings in your ear till you
remove your mind from it. Satan has eaten it and u can
still see it on the floor..interesting.
*If you put your eyelashes in your parents shoes, they
will forget the offence you commited.
Yeepa! I can’t
forget what this statement made me pass through one
time.when I was in primary school I feared my mom
than my Dad,but Bleep that shit,I don’t anymore..Lol. My
favorite sport then was football and I loved playing it
with other neighbourhood kids.it got to a time I didn’t
even want to hear the word foot…am off to play leaving
whatever I was doing,assignment,household
chores.Most times,after coming back from school,
without doing any chores,I run off..My mum would then
be infuriated when she comes back that I left the chores
undone. This continued for weeks until one day she was
about leaving for work,she told me the same thing that’s
getting stuck to my memory”Make sure u do the chores”,as usual,the words passed through my right ear and came out through the left.Immediately I came back
again I rushed off. As I was engrossed in what I was
playing,I heared a feminine voice calling
Dolapo.Turning round I saw my wonderful mum on the
bike,her words”So this is what you do,You are in
trouble”rang in my ears..As a Nigerian,when your mom
says that,u knw what you have bargained for.Reaching
home that day,she was already asleep.My troubled mind
could now co-ordinate with other parts of the body.Then
Seun words came to my head”If you put your eyelashes
in your parents shoes,they will forget the offence you
committed” I did just that.when she woke up,I greeted
her and she replied pleasantly and in my mind I was
like”this woman don forget,Thank God”we went about
the remaining day normally like nothing
happened.Dinner time,after eating,she asked”Dolapo,so
that’s what you do every day that makes you not to do
your chores?99days for the thief one day for the
owner,when you are done,don’t let me remind you of
kneeling down and raising your ends…Staring at my
unfinished food all that was on my own mind was”so
this thing no work,chai”
*If your tooth pulls out,throw it on a rooftop and run
inside.
Yeah, I was made to believe that when you
throw it on the rooftop and run inside, a lizard will take
it and give you another one..Funny right? I let it pass.
These are the superstitious beliefs I was made to belive
and had connection with my life one time or the other.
These beliefs are just to guide children from harm e.g
Eating in the dark,hygiene e.g.picking foods off the
floor.
