..That if you kill a firefly, you'll bed-wet dat night as you sleep.

..That if you get a sour throat, you should go to any fence/wall with a crack and scream and the sour would clear off eventually.

My elder brother once told me to lend him 1naira that next week the Federal govt had promised everyone 1million naira and I asked my mum and she said they announced on the TV that I she heard it too so that I could lend my elder brother the 1naira,which I did.

Till today,I always ask him when his so called Federal Government money would be paid .

i went to a catholic mission school, where boys and girls dont mix both for pry and secondary section. only on special days when we all come to the catholic church for a combine mass.
On one particular ash-wednesday as we were gathering, we heard one of the secondary school teacher shouting at a boy, she said " Michael dont touch that girl, do you want to get her pregnant". we in pry section took it hook and sinker.
as naughty as i was, i started touching all the girls in primary section that i hated and told them that they are pregnant.
that ash-wednesday turned to cry-wednesday, all the girls were crying, the father(priest) couldnt understand what was going on. that ash-wednesdsy was postponed because of me. i will never forget the flogging i got for it.
till tomorrw when i see some of this girls(some are married) i still tease them.

Diligence: This thread shows how uniquely connected we all are and that even as kids then, and even the present kids now, there are such beliefs we held and they too, hold, that they don't want to share wt us; they just believe them and they don't even give a hoot to ask the adults!! Askg the adults is like 'tampering' with their 'rights of freedom of belief' by the way every kid is entitled to!!
One more thing is; most of this things were used to scare us and make us behave

loooool. grin, really hilarious comments.

My sister told me earthquakes were caused by dinosaurs living under the ground. She said they didn't move at all but whenever they did, it caused the earth to crack and houses to topple. I believed her until I found out the animal had been extinct before she was born sef...

My mum made me look at the moon closely and asked if I could see something that looked like a man with his hand up. I said yes, she said it was a guy that broke firewood on Sunday and God froze him in the moon for working on the Sabbath. I can't remember missing church after that story. smiley

That if you urinate in the river it will rain on the day you're celebrating anything.
That if you whistle in the night snakes will pursue you; that Mary was holding baby Jesus in the moon a night; that if you stretch your hand for raindrops and thunder strikes, you will go lame immediately; that they're playing football at the television station showing it; that I will never finish from primary school since I've learnt numbers from 1 to 100; that when you commit an offence at home you're threatened with your uncle or aunty in school..and many more.

I remember we used to compare birth marks then..we called it ami Olorun (God's mark) and anyone with the most number of these marks on his or her body is God's favourite.

I used to think locust beans was goat poo that has been washed well, so I removed it from soup anytime I came across it.
