Some people do it as a libation to ancestors or deities to whom they owe allegiance. Others do it as a quick test to determine if the particular product is fake especially in the case of beer or other carbonated beverages. The idea is that if it froths upon touching the ground, it is an original product.. Legend of the bottle has spoken, Let no man murmur !! 9 Likes 1 Share |

It's an ancient practice because we are the biblical Hebrews, the people of the book. It is in reverence to the ancestors and the Creator. We were all lied to and decieved by western propaganda that biblical characters were white people. NO...the entire bible took place in Africa. White people's history only began after 700BC. Blacks began at creation. Genesis 35:5,14 "And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: AND HE POURED A DRINK OFFERING THEREON, and he poured oil thereon."

It's our Culture. Sometimes I pour it on the ground during public gatherings if I suspect poison, so I do it so that my Gods/Forefathers would protect me. Other times when I am alone, I do it to show respect to my forefathers and thank them for the opportunity of life, I greet them for my blessings so far and availability of drink to taste. I am an Igbo man and I don't believe the white man's Culture, I only believe in God which my forefathers believe in. 9 Likes 1 Share |
