yuzedo: 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 . . . I remember this too |

Whenever my mum's left hand scratches her, it means she would spend unexpected money. If it's her right hand, it means she will get unexpected money. Works 150% sure for her |

I refused cos i was so afraid of the name she called it. "EMUMO" then it sounded UMUMMO"(Spirit children) to me. My other cousins developed stretch marks with time but to me it was not beautiful as she made us believe |

If you masturbate frequently, you'll go blind, and grow hairs on your palm. So far I've not experienced either. |

when I was young I was told dat if a lunatic comes to ur shop/workplace very early in d morning pleading 4 money and u give him/her u will have a wonderful day. It work sometimes.  I was told that if u put leave on ur mouth in the presence of d deaf&dump man,he will beat you.. A close friend tried it and the deaf/dump guy explained(In writing)that it means nothing! funny enough he is older and stronger than my friend and I . He didn't beat him. He even laughed at us. |

if you get pepper in your eyes, lick a good quantity of salt and the pains will subside. worked like magic. mumsy told me after she must have had a good laugh. get a short strand of thread from the cloth of a hiccuping baby and put on the baby's head to stop hiccups. that works too. pour salt into the fire and put your food on it if you happened to put in too much salt. contact me if it works. |

That eyelash thingy works 100%. I did it countless times to make my dad and teacher forget my numerous 'heinous' crimes back then and it worked like magic! Am even planning to use it for my boss anytime soon The Lekeleke thing works too. Good ol'days! |

Here are a few: *if you spit on the ground and you don't cover it up with sand, and some fellow steps on it, you're bound to have sore throat. *if you have sex in the afternoon, you'll birth an albino. *if you're pregnant and you eat plantain, your child's head will have ridges. If you eat okra or snail, the child will be sluggish and drooling! *If you're lying or sitting down and you're pregnant, and someone crosses over you, your child will look like the person. *if you're pregnant and you go out @ noon without a piece of metal or rock, evil children will enter your womb and you'll birth them. 2 Likes |

Yeah,I 100% agree wit u on d cattle egret stint. When we see them flying overhead..we wave our 10 fingers and sing "Leke leke give me white fingers" as many times as we can while the flight is in progress,and it works all d time. Me n my peeps had white markings all over our nails back then...its all cleared now though...but as I read your post i just smiled and wondered what made it happen so...Life's Mysteries |
