It is believe to be a sign of respect and also a sign that you have paid your dues to those you don't or those that have lived in land before you, so you can go ahead to doing your thing without disturbance

But must be done in sincerity

I still do this. I take water most times so I do this. No tradition attached to it. Just me with the thought that during packaging, there's always dust that settles at the top of the water before sealing. Might be wrong but I can't stop now cool

It is common to most African culture and traditions. In Youruba culture,it is in an appeasement to the gods,Ile-ogere afokoyeri (ground). The belief is that ground that consumes those before us will consume us too. And it's not done with just drinks.r It is done with food and kolanut.

It is an homage to the the ancestors.

I wish those ancestors of your family can give you a heavy knock on your head. How does someone pouring little drink on the ground a sin? You better be wise that even Christ who gave his life for our sake have never judged anyone till judgement day. You that is a saint, mr no sin.
