At one point or another, we have all been told different lies by our parentsbor elders in the society. Some are just plainly crazy while others were as big as Mount Everest. Although we have forgiven those who told us these dreadful lies, we can never forget them.
So we look back to hose hold days and see how bad we have been mislead but it was one of the building blocks of an amazing child hood. Many of us believed these lies for years and when we discovered the truth, we looked silly. So we have compiled a list of those marvelous lies we were told.
Here they are:
1. The one about Lizard and your teeth:
Yeah,I remember this one so well. They told us thatbif your teeth comes off, bury deep in the sand so that Lizard won't swallow it, and if a lizard swallows it, it will never grow again. We have been mislead.
2. Pillow and your teeth:
This one really got me. We were asked to put our tooth under a pillow whenever they come off and sleep on it. While on it, make a wish. When you wake the next morning, you'll find the tooth there. I used to wish for an aeroplane.
3. Whistling in the night:
Have you ever been told that whistling in the night attracts snakes. Sincerely, I'm still scared of it but how on earth is this possible? What a superstitious lie.
4. Madam koi-koi:
This wasn't a very popular lie back then but it deserved to be on the list. Let me tell you who Madam Koi-Koi is. Madam Koi-Koi is a ghost who wears heels and disturbs boarders in schoolin the night.
Sometimes, she kills them while most times she cuts a piece of the body and eats it. Then she goes again. If you're a boarder and you're reading this,don't be scared to go to school. She ain't real!
And now for the biggest lie for generations to come
Drumroll please
5. Nigeria vs India:
This lie was the most believed lie of our generation. If you are not familiar with this lie, let me break it down for you. Get ready for a massive lie.
Nigeria played India and the agreement was that Nigeria could only win if they scored one goal. No matter the goals India score, if Nigeria scores one then they have won. So the Indians started playing and taking different shots.
When they take one shots, the ball turns to a lion, stone, mount everest, bullet, army or anything that can severely mame or hurt the keeper. So a brave Nigerian decided to take the risk and played a marvelous shot but the ball turned to a rock at his feet.
He scored but he died. And that's how we won. This was believed to be how the great Samuel Okparaji died. Mehn! This lie is more than a fantasy.
