Funny But True To Life Superstitions by slimyem: 4:12pm On Mar 31, 2012 |
Superstitions are beliefs justified neither by reason,evidence nor by any religious canon. Much as i dont beleive in superstitious stories,i have had a few reasons to reconsider my judgements concerning them. This thread is directed at people who have heard or seen superstitious beliefs at play. I'd go first with one i heard! In my place,there's a particular local broom made from dry grass.anytime you happen to have constipation,you could just wave it over your tummy and speak words telling the broom to eat from it and poof,you feel better! I heard another one about people who have boils on their knees. All they need do is find a waste-dump and go kneel on it for a few minutes.funny but it worked for someone i know! There's more......after i read yours! |

If you wash your hands with a particular native soap while having a bout with stomach pain you will be relieved If you stand on a motar while it raining you will get struck by lightening If you whistle at night a snake would pay you a visit This last one made me realise most things are sheer coincidence: When my daughter turned 10 months, my mother in law was worried that she has not started walking so she went to the village and complained to some people who told her to get white chalk, ground it into powder and mix it with soap. She was to bath my daughter using the mixture of soap, chalk, administered with a local sponge and her body should be rinsed with water warmed by the morning sunlight. she brought the chalk and native and local sponge but for one reason or the other she couldnt perform the silly ritual before she went back home but she promised to come back the following week and bathe for my daughter. Before that week ran out, my daughter had started walking. Assuming she bathed her with the chalky mixture and my girl starts walking she would have been propagating the news that it was the chalk and luke (sunny) warm water. This is how superstition is birthed! 4 Likes |

When we were kids, we believed in my village that if you have stomach bite, take some saliva and touch your navel, and you'll be free. I think it has worked for me those days. Many of them superstitions. 3 Likes |

in those years in lagos anytime we saw cattle eaglets flying in the sky we would raise our hands to them and wave our fingers furiously while singing something like "se-ke-le-ke, se-ke-le-ke sometin sometin" and just like magic by the time the birds fly by we would have white streaks in most of our finger nails. This one works 100% feel free to quote me 9 Likes |

slimyem: -if a girl pounds an empty mortar,her biyest would become saggy! That shouldn't be much of a myth , imagine the sheer velocity of the moving biyest while pounding the mortar , empty or not , and you can get an idea why it will go saggy |

If you see a kite, hawk, eagle or any bird of prey flying in the sky, simply loop both your index fingers and point at the bird like you would aim a catapult and boom, that avian is going to swoop down to the earth and touch the ground . . . THAT. SH.IT. WORKS!!!! 3 Likes |
