Let’s Have Fun: Mention One Stupid Superstition You Believed As A Young Child by mighty2: 3:29pm On Feb 06, 2018
You can’t just be from Africa and not enjoyed
some fallacies when you were young, in fact you
would almost slap yourself in the later future
when you realize you have once been
brainwashed.
Superstitions in Nigeria is real, many of which we
even believe with our present age. And you cant
deny you have not been a victim of one or more.
Superstitions are mostly used by parents on their
children to give them either fear of a particular things
or used the idea to give children home training
because coming straight to Nigerian children doesn’t
work most times.
When I was young, I believed all my life that crying
at night would invite our village masquerade to come
and carry me away. So anytime I had reason to cry
at night, I always borrow myself some senses and
keep mute.
The day I realized the superstition to make kids stop
the habit of crying at night ehn. All the cries I don
stop because of the masquerade, I almost cry all that
cry that day.
That’s the power of Africans wisdom. So what about
you? What is that one superstition you believed 100%
when you were also young?
Drop your comments below and let’s have some
fun!!!

I believed that there was a sky daddy who got my back and that if I worshipped him I would Join him in heaven. I also believed that if I sinned, I would be thrown into a lake of fire for all eternity.

I was told not pick up money from the ground, I might become yam or better still goat. shocked Later on, I believed urinating on the "supposed ritual money" would entirely neutralize it. shocked
