This tale sell die when I was in boarding house.
Not only did they hold mat, they also hold cane. That anybody they encounter in the bush will seen as a threat to steal their mat and they will cane you till you flee from the bush to your town.

The Bush baby is related to madam koikoi in school tales.

When student urinate on their bed and they are asked why they say because of the fear of Bush baby and madam koikoi they were scares to go to the toilet.

Guess madam koikoi is still out there looking for her daughter and will grab any child that dares confront her.
Chai!!!Lady koikoi tales those years in boarding school. grin

Many town dwellers who cant sleep in a village are saying it is false and myth.. kindly go to villages where there are hunters and night crawlers. get them to talk of their experiences in the forest and midnight sojourn. you will be shocked at what you will hear.. some animals whom you cannot see during the day but very active at night. some you will have to chant incantations to bring down with your guns and skills..
the water body covering over 70% of the earth itself has its own world.. humans can only see the dept that sunlight can reach while some depts are impenetrable by any human activities. mermaids exist so are bush babies

It’s real..

Very very real..

I know of one olden days hunter that came across one like that, back in the days. According to the story, when he saw it, it was small, looks roughy and crying..

He mentioned the necessary incantations they do mentioned before you could talk to a spirit.

The hunter communicated with the bushbaby but was unable to take the mat!

It's very hard to take the mat away from it! Only an extreme conc hunter can do it successfully without dieing! Movies would make it look as if it's easy, but it's not so in real life!

They were spirit that was disposed from the other world and the mat is the only thing it has! If you're able to take away the mat, then you're made for life! It's a commanding Mat that can be used to command anything!
The children here on nairaland won't understand what you are saying, I'm laughing at those that think bushbaby is folklore. Most children here think natgeo has all the answers. I saw a ghost this year in January and I wasn't afraid because I know they are real and it disappeared and I went my way and prayed when I got home. So many children here

It is real, very real.
the father of one of my friends met one in their farm around 1970's and the said father is in money.
but note, it is not the bushbaby or its mat that gives money.
they use the mat for money ritual if it falls into the right hand( those who have knowledge of how to use the mat).
2. You have to fight to collect the mat, it takes the grace of God.
3. Bushbaby is know as EGBEERE in yoruba.

No be only strong! 🤣
Bush babies are small, nocturnal primates that are mostly found in the rainforests of Africa. They are also known as galagos, which is the name of the genus that they belong to. They are arboreal, which means that they live in trees. They are active during the night and sleep during the day.

Let me describe them. They are very small animals. . They have long tails, which they use for balance as they move through the trees. They also have large eyes, which allow them to see well in the dark. So I no know where op for see em own bushbaby with mat!🤣
They also eat small animals, such as lizards and rodents.

What I know is that they have this loud cries. They use these cries to communicate with one another.
Bush babies do not actually carry a mat. This is a myth that is often spread on the internet. The Only thing is, they do have a gland on their chest that releases a scent that is used to mark their territory. Anything aside that like mat, spiritual, money,and other trash na just lies!
The Bush baby that you are talking about is very different from the Bush baby (Egbere) that they are talking about.

The one they are talking about is small, has a humanoid shape, sometimes move in pairs of male and female and, sometimes carry mats.

The one you are talking about is just an animal that happens to share a name with that other creature.

And yes, the so called myth has been with us for ages, before the internet came about. At least I have been hearing and reading about it since the 80's.

Whether they are real or not is not my concern or problem but just know that you guys are talking about two different things.

Let's say what you are saying is true. You think anyone that takes the mat and use it for money ritual is safe? Too many risks abeg

Anyone can’t even take the Mat bro. The Mat is for Hunters with super powers!

And yeah, it’s safe! It’s not as if the Mat is for money ritual bro, it’s just for prosperity & life enrichments sake! It’s not the way they showed it on movies!

It could cure sickness
It could safeguard you
Etc

Things like that..

Ufo , alien, mermaid are not only fakes but tales to sooth some segment of the society...
If you think there are no UFOs and aliens, I can bet you Studied fine arts in school. You have very little knowledge of your world to ever think humans are the only beings in the universe. It is ridiculous
