Do u knw n Igbo man dat make 2k profit daily is better than a banker that receives 100k monthly. Reasons are: 1. Proximity: an Igbo man house is usually close to his shop buh in case of a banker u locate ur work place which most tyms is far away from his house. 2. An banker spend more on clothes another frivolities. While as an Igo business man u can where anything. 3. An Igbo man business grows over tym.while the banker grows other person's business n could be sacked. 4. An Igbo man business could be inherited form his son. N my more. 2 Likes |

1. If an alligator, Iguana or any other reptile bites you, it can only let go of you when thunder strikes. 2. If you leave an axe in a firewood after breaking wood, if a thorn or anything pierces your mother in the bush, it cannot be removed until that axe is removed. 3. If after eating crab you throw the remains on the ground instead of the roof, if a dog eats them, you will develop stomach ache. 4. If you throw your fallen tooth on the ground instead of a roof, it will never grow back. 5. Egg is not for children because it makes them to steal. I believe that most of these "lies" were meant to deter us from doing wrong things or being negligent. For example: * Number one was to let us know how dangerous reptiles are. * Number two was to encourage us to not be negligent. * Number three was to encourage us to be careful in disposing dangerous materials. Crabs remains are sharp and can injure people especially little children. * Like seriously, I still don't know the wisdom behind number four. Most of them was to correct bad habits. Like eating while standing is a bad habit and so they told us that the food will go to our legs. Sitting on a grinding stone is a bad habit and unhygienic so they told us that it can lead to infertility and what not. But this one that big meat and fish was for only adults na fat lie. And so we would watch our father's plate of soup filled with meat while we the children that actually needed calcium and protein would be sharing little. 6 Likes |

My mom told me if a man touches me I will get pregnant. My people, if you know how many men that have been touching me ehen, male colleagues, conductors, male traders in the market, my male church members, etc, yet, I'm yet to get pregnant. She would have simply told me what she meant was "if a man sleeps with me". 1 Like |
