Omo that matter is serious o!! I fear the matter till now.. I would be telling my kids the same thing... (Just in case)

Asemo11: If u drink Coconut water u no go no book again

Spirit of Okija: * If you come first, I will buy you a bicycle..

* God is watching you...

* Ur many tyms did u come 1st?
* So U don't believe God is watching U?

1. You beg mummy not to tell daddy when he comes back from work about some mischief you did at school or at home. Mummy promises not to tell Daddy. Daddy comes back, she breaks her promise and tells.
Daddy invites you into his room. You come out after 30 mins, sometimes 1 hour, a changed man.

2. ''If anyone knocks at the door, tell them your parents are not in''. You look at them and remember the Bible says you should not lie. Most times, you go ahead and lie anyway. Or you are stupid enough to say to visitors, 'My parents say, I should tell you that they are not in''. Enough flogging for you.

Childhood was fun.

3. If you swallow orange seed, it will grow on your head. Kai, I believed that one. See prayers I dey fire after swallowing orange seed.

hamsky: Elders are always correct and old people don't fart, for some reason i also thought that clocks use electricity

Clock does uses electricity but a form of energy conversion process from chemical(the battery) to electrical energy which produces the electricity that power the clock.

If you take mango + Garri, you will die

My father lied to me that,he was a footballer and he played local leagues,all for me to discover that he didn't even play.

[size=28pt]my parents never told me lies. they gave good examples.[/size]

if a child is being mischievous at home his mother would send her to the next compand to go and collect 'arodan' - something wey no exist for her. the other woman on hearing this will just tell the boy to wait while she prepare d arodan for him, a ploy to keep the troublesome child at bay.

When a bicycle was on the line?! I even came first in the University till I graduated...

If I was in the U.S, I would have sued my father to court for malicious deciet and breach of verbal contract..


And NO, God isnt watching.. (The bible says the eyes of God cant behold iniquity, and if I spend 25 out of 24hrs in iniquity, and in iniqity did our mothers concieve us, how then could God possibly be watching us?).. Nwokem, wise up..

And the lying continues into another generation... #SMH

Do not whistle under the sun: you will be invoking the wrought of the spirits
Do not eat at night; the evil spirits will join you in the feast
Elders dont tell lies.
Never swallow your teeth, it will grow on your head. when i mistakenly swallowd my tooth at age 4, I cried my live out at school, looked at the mirror when i got home, until my mother promised to beg God on my behalf.

Old Memories. There was this day me and my siblings joined in killing a cat, when my mum got home and she was told that we killed a cat, she told us that the cat will come in the night to take us away, wow come and see fear. all of us couldnt eat that night especially my favourite. She ask us to continuous saying "musu darinjinmi" (forgive me cat). in the morning we were told that the cat came to our window crying. Another long day of hunger,.
Any time i remember this i always laugh at how gullible we are.
