Growing up as a 'Razz' boy in a 'Razz' area of Lagos state, I remember these primary school superstitions:



When you see two dogs mating/Gangbang1ng, drive a nail into the ground...and they will be hooked until you 'release' them

When you see a hawk/pigeon/random bird flying about, aim your hand at it, and then pull back your middle/index/any finger and the bird will keep flying round in circles

When you see a bunch of Herons flying about, start singing "Leke Leke, Gbamileke" and white spots will appear on your fingers.

When you spit on the floor, wipe it with your feet or you will get a sore throat...


grin grin


"When you see a bunch of Herons flying about, start singing "Leke Leke, Gbamileke" and white spots will appear on your fingers."
This had actually worked like charm. There is something about these myths.

I guess all the ones I know av been mentioned, I think all this beliefs work only if you believe in them. A particular one I dint believe was spitting on the floor (causing sore throat) but now I know its only a way of preventing pple from spitting around, without covering it, which can be nauseating to others

When you are playing ball with an opposing street team or school team. Kill a lizard and stick office pins into it and put in your goal post ; all their shots at your goal will be over the bar or way off the post. lol

The only thing I don't know now is whether the opposing team did same. Lmao
