I don't understand the reason behind it and I'm curious. Google is not giving me a coherent answer.


My late grandfather's friend passed away today, being a Muslim, it's a must that he must be buried today. My grandma called me to come to our hometown ( My present location to my hometown is just 1 hour) to say goodbye to Baba (May God rest his soul).

I got there, I wanted to enter but they said I should knock before entering incase Baba is dressing up or eating embarassed embarassed. I knocked once but they said I must knock thrice undecided undecided. I know all those eating and dressing up story is sakamanje.

I would have asked someone there but the atmosphere was melanchoIic and I was in a rush to see my grandma and now I'm on my way back to Ado.


What's the real reason for knocking?

A dead body can't feel or see. It dead undecided undecided... The body is useless or else it want to be used as compost.

The same reason you knock 3 times before entering a shrine. And the same reason you enter some places with your back and not your front.

There is so much mystery about the dead that the living is oblivious of, remember their mortal body died not their spirit or soul. They are still active around their bodies till they are buried. You don't take them unawares you are inviting shock or even stroke, they are energies and entities at death, you notify them.

That's not true.

Man does not have an Immortal soul or spirit.
Ones someone dies everything about them dies.

Any appearance of anything that looks like the dead person are all imaginations or demons impersonating the dead person.

Wether you believe it or not a doctor entered into mortuary without knock as death body slap him uptill now hes been having scor scor for head, atimes hes normal atimes hes not normal.

That's not true.

The dead cannot eat,think,walk or do anything.

If the doctor was in anyway slapped by anybody inside the mortuary, it must have been a demon or evil spirit masquerading as the dead, but it can never be the dead.

Two years ago I entered the mortuary to identify my father for burial, it was not funny.

When I reached the middle of the mortuary that is when I realized there are spirit around. I lost my soul for about 10 seconds but being bold I did what I needed to do and left.

I heard from a guy who works in the mutuary that they put one new dead man.. That the next day all the dead people laid close to him were pushed to different direction.

The next day dey arranged him again the next day the same thing.. They have to call the family that dey can't put such person there.. I mean a dead person. They came to carry there corpse.

Yes it's possible, but the truth is that, it was not the dead man that was responsible for pushing the other dead bodies, but Evil spirits attached to the body of the dead man.

This happens to mostly ppl who why they were alive had done several charms and rituals on their bodies.

The fact remains that the dead no nothing and cannot do anything.

how can u believe this nonsense nah? The dead are conscious of nothing, while the living know they will die Ecclesiastes 3 vs 19 and 9 vs 5. Man and animals are the same when they die
Man, like Adam is made from dust and returns to dust on all entirety. How gods of men deceive Una is what I find difficult to understand. Damn
so after death comes judgement is now based on what..I have had dreams of dead people coming to give me information about their loved ones and it turned out to be correct..see there is more to this that meets the eye

What you believe in becloud your sense of reasoning.. I will enter there without knocking and nothing will happen.. but because u belief in it ur mind will be restless.. that's why an atheist will tell a dreaded occult man that he can't do anything why? he believes he can't and he will never hurt him.. we imprison our mind in what we believe.when we stop and call it ordinary, ordinary it shall remain.
tell native doctor that one nd Gv us feedback
