Let Talk On This: 10 Most Bizarre Nigerian Myths by AsapGist: 4:25pm On Dec 03, 2015
Lets face it, when it comes to Nigeria, what most people think of is the corruption, kidnappings, poverty and Nollywood, apart from Nollywood, none of the above are good news.

What a lot of people don’t know about though, are the superstitions, myths and legends that have to do with the country.


WHISTLING AT NIGHT



Some people enjoy whistling, making music without singing and just your lips, perfect for those who cant sing.

In some parts of Nigeria though, you must not whistle at night, Because you will wake the dead, who will whistle back at you and just may escort you back to their graves, its not a matter of question, they WILL take you.

Another belief is that you will be calling snakes to you, no you won’t be able to control them.

THE BEAUTIFUL PLAITS



The story of this folklore is commonly told in Nigerian boarding schools, now take note that in most Nigerian schools, girls must have their hair in plaits/cornrows. Anyway the story goes like this;

In this very school, some time ago, there was a girl whose hair was the finest, it was always beautifully made and very neat, but when asked who made her hair, the girl would reply and say it was a very shy and quiet friend of hers, well people got tired of asking and dropped the subject.

Until one night, one of her roommates woke up and let out a scream, there was the girl headless, plaiting her own head.
