Hilarious Myths We Swallowed As Kids by 0393: 11:44am On Jul 14, 2015
As kids, adults fed us with a lot of pus. If not for the scientific knowledge we acquired, we might still be imprisoned to such ignorance. Funny enough, there are some we have not disbelieved. Here is a list of common myths we ate hook, line and sinker as kids.
• If you swallow a seed, a tree will grow in your belly
• If you shout someone’s name at night, evil spirits will take that name to their meeting
• If you make a noise in the cemetery, a ghost will come out to knock you on the head
• If you retract you eyelid backward and housefly lands, you will go blind
• If you have an open wound, covering it with sand will make it heal faster
• If you knot two of your fingers together, any flying object could drop
• If you eat while standing, the undigested food will settle in your legs
• If sunshine accompanies raining then, a lion is born somewhere at that moment
• If you whistle at night, snakes will be attracted to the house
• If you walk crossing over someone lying down, you have to make a reverse walk unless the person will have stunted growth or your children will look like the person.
• If you hit someone with broom, the person will have erectile dysfunction
• If you drink coconut water, you will turn dullard and fail in school
• If you spit into a toilet or dirty gutter, you will get infected with sore throat
• If you steal eni egbeere (the mat of dwarf demon), and sleep on it for seven day, you will be wealthier than Solomon and all the Arab nations combined together
• If you put the eye mucus of the dog (ipin oju aja)on your eyelids, you will start seeing spiritual things
• If you drink garri and kerosene mango at the same time, you will die
• If you point at cattle egrets, you will have leuconychia (white nails: lekeleke)
• If your food or money falls to the ground, don’t pick it cos it becomes devil’s property
• Don’t walk backwards; only ghosts do that
• If you eat chicken nyash, you will become a gossip monger (ameebo)
• If you whistle at night, the ghosts will beat the hell out of you
• If you are after a girl who doesn’t want you, urinate on her urine and she will fall in love with you (love charm things).
• If you open umbrella inside the house or when it's not raining, it would rain on your wedding day.
• If you bed wet frequently, the remedy is for your mom to make you pee on ash or hot coal so your urethra will pepper you and make you run to toilet when next you want to bed wet.
• If you spit on the floor without clearing it with your feet, you will have sore throat
• Dogs bark at night when they see spirits
• If a bird poos on you, you will be highly favored in life.
• If you want your parents to forget your wrongdoing, just take out few of your eyelashes
• If a lady falls asleep, putting legs on the wall, she has gone for witchcraft meeting
• If you sweep at night, you are sweeping away your wealth
• If you mistakenly wear the back of your cloth or your palm is itchy, then money is coming your way that day
• If you repeatedly hit your feet against objects like stone then a bad thing is about to happen to you

NOW, THIS ONE IS PLACED ON A CLASS OF ITS OWN AS THE MOST EPIC SUPERSTITION WE BELIEVE (D)
- India won the match against Nigeria with a 99-1 score
- The ball turned to lion each moment a Nigerian footballer wants to kick the ball
- The Indians later agreed that if Nigeria could score a goal, they would concede defeat
- Samuel Okwaraji scored the winning goal and lost his life in the process
- FIFA banned India from soccer because they used juju in that game
THE TRUTH
- Sam Okwaraji died of heart failure on August 12, 1989 at 77th minute of the World Cup Qualifying match against Angola.
- There has been a match between AS Adema and Stade Olymique L’Emyrne (both Madagascan teams) where the score was 149-0 so 99-1 is actually possible
- The last time India played in the World Cup was 1950 Fiasco not because they are banned but because they do not play well to qualify for world cups since then.
THE GRAND TRUTH: THE MATCH NEVER TOOK PLACE, NOT TO TALK OF THE FABLES THEY SAY
Stop moving pus for younger generations, let the purulent heritage STOP.

If you eat inside pot of soup, rain will fall on your wedding day

If you loose a tooth, you must not allow lizard to see it

If you loose a tooth, you must wrap it with 7 stones (girl) or 9 stones (boys)

If you whistle at night, your mouth will turn to another side

When u see a monitor lizard , you must sing to it or else it will turn to snake..
