Corpse Doesn’t Cross Benin On Friday? by nenergy(m): 2:21am On Jul 17, 2013
We grew up hearing lots of taboos like not whistling in the afternoon, not looking behind while bending down in a market, not killing a wall gecko, not eating food while it is on fire etc The annoying thing is you are never told why you shouldn’t do it, only not to do it. I overheard someone saying that corpse doesn’t cross Benin on Friday. i.e People conveying a corpse to other states via benin must not do it on a Friday. So Edo people in the House, is it true and why?
