Why??

If you are one of them, do you also do it in your office?

This is done to check if the drink is expired!
Without foam=expired
With foam=good

Pouring your drink on the ground actually make you detect if the drink had been opened before.

Some do it for traditional reasons, some for sacrificial reasons.

The last group does it because they see others doing it.

Imagine the missionaries didn’t come to Africa you won’t say this

And this man called Jesusjnr would venerate the ancestors of white people; who they call their founding fathers and heroes.

Talk about low self-esteem.

Whereas the Chinese, Japanese, Indians and Koreans do same, and they are successful.

Ever since you've been binding and losing demons from the 70s when the born again movement took off in Nigeria, how has been our economy and life in general?
Hasn't it been going down year in, year out?

In order to to cleanse the floor of all the HARLOTRY of my dirty mother

I do it to appease the ground. It's part of our African tradition. Not every time though. But I try not to always forget anyway.

Which people?

I don't and none of my family members do that. I can't even remember anyone i know ever doing that.

Except you mean pagans who do it as a sign of respect to the demons they worship in the guise of their ancestors.

Who is a pagan? Or what do you mean by "pagans"?

Anyone you see doing that thing is an adherent of African Traditional Religion. The person is simply a pegan worshipper, don't be deceived even if u see the person at the altar preaching Christ.

To check the authencity of the drink, if it foam on the ground, that means it's intact but if it didn't foam on the ground it means it's a leakage or not original drink. Though, some people do it to appease the gods or just do it out of ignorant for copy cat sake.

Slurity:
Specify the drink please, we the juice and fanta gang don't waste our sweetness.

S

mine is to check whether it's still good. If it's still good,it foams but if not,it doesn't.

IS JUST FETISH BELIEF,VILLAGE PEOPLE THINGS.AFRICANS ARE NOT YET CIVILIZED THEY JUST WEARING TROUSERS FOR NOTHIN.
WHY NOT POUR OUT BOTTLE WATER BEFORE DRINKING

It is the same as asking why people pray to unseen gods. Some things are incomprehensible to the simple minded.

It's a toast to the ancestors or someone u have lost

It's called libation

Humm

Is the opposite of "cheers (clinking glasses by the whites)."

Both are for the demons most people don't realize it.

Waste

Am a typical igbo traditionalist, pouring little quantity of drink away before drinking is a mark of respect for the people that walked before us

THE GOD'S RN.

Statements of this sort has made many kids join bad gang

Mrkumareze:
There are questions children don't ask, so be calm. When you become an adult, your elders can put you through.

I use to pour water on the ground too and I don't know why. �

You nailed it gbaamm!
Western education, or can I say religion make some people think they are now oyinbo.

It should be for the gods according to them.

Have you ever rejected the bad one that doesn't foam

A whole lot

To better understand spirituality and the concept of only general concept all religions agree on (which is love) only then will you understand.

You can’t hurt someone and expect the same not to be done to you coming under the guise of God’s love once you sin an opening has been left for any to harm you.

Life has value so do not take it when you can’t create one.

There’s only one supreme God which all religion accept but where the problem or disagreement comes from is who is his son or follower each religion claims theirs came from the only One God

Love is all that is the most important and giving including helping.

Plus I’m more more connected to my roots, I know my pedigree even to the 7th generation( I know the qualities, behavioral patterns my own offsprings should carry (look at the Oba and his offsprings you will understand and the ones before him), if you are into breeding you should know how to turn this to your advantage. Last but not the least, knowledge about herbs that are beneficial and how they work, it’s not Bragging but no one especially a woman can be barren in my lineage as long as she is healthy (the highest a woman can go childless is 2yrs as long as she is healthy and has a womb) but for a man I do not know.

The foremost pharmacists have ties to the Catholic Church and many priests still do till this day.

I appreciate your maturity. However, I want you to note that Christianinty or other "foreign" beliefs does not stop you from knowing your roots or making use of herbs. If the local or traditional religions are potent enough, they could have stopped the colonialists from invading the land, making slavery of the indegenes and carrying their idols to Europe as african monuments and imposing the foreign religions on africans. All these wouldn't have happened. Also note that technology can perform all the curative treatments you highlighted and can even pre determine gender of an unborn child. All these are additional benefits from the foreign lands apart from stopping the inhumane practices of worshipping the traditional gods.
Let me just stop here. Good morning to you.

Not everyone has the capacity or financial strength for resolving health or reproductive issues ,

Not all traditionalist perform in humane stuff even some so called Christians/Muslims perform same.

The thing is anything Africa produces the west deem it as bad. The cure for malaria is an example, we produce weed here but they say cigarettes are better.

During the time of COVID all was exposed and yet they went back to what they believed in, during the COVID pandemic the people residing in rural and the suburbs recorded less or no death at all.
