Is This Just A Tortoise At My Door Or Did My Ancestors Visit? by thesolutions(op): 6:34am On May 22

This small tortoise came to my house after heavy downpour.
I could not protect it for long. I can't keep it.
Some guys took it.
It's the end for the tortoise.

Your ancestors sent you bushmeat for the day and you gave it out. Watch and see if they’ll try it again.

I disown those ancestors. Why won't they send me fish. Even when I dream of swimming in water, they have never shown me fish.

Certain animals that show up at your door are messages. They are precursors to events.
Perhaps you were asking for a sign

This doesn't look like a tortoise, probably a turtle. If you live around swanpy or heavily flooded area, it comes from your neighborhood. Nothing to fear in a turtle.

So your ancestors evolved from tortoises. That explains some of your posts here on Nairaland.

My ancestors can turn you to yam and put you in their yam bans and export you to UK.
They did not pass this gift to me because I liked yam. They don't want to catch me eating the wrong yam ment for export. They got this gift from the wise tortoise of their time. I know you don't believe me because I can't prove it. But it is ok.

We are too negative animals are part of the natural order and in all advance society are part of the study.

We see cats owl, bats and we judge them negative from the start. It's poor and we should be positive about our world. God is the creator of all things.

You lai dis lai dis don't know tradition. We don't worship our ancestors but the God of our ancestors. If the God of our ancestors send any of our ancestors to visit, we learn secrets of the gods from them.

Anyways, the tortoise did not talk so it's definitely not one of my ancestors. It is as good as meat to those guys that took.

Am not the type to get into religious arguments but I love to under Other peoples perspectives on things. If you wont mind. I would like you to just elaborate what happens when a man carries the tortoise and build a shrine.

Does the tortoise become a representative of the ancestors and you worship the ancestors through the tortoise or will you worship the tortoise itself.

Also do you have to buy a female tortoise so the tortoise can procreate.

Unless you are being sarcastic then ignore my question

Guy, forget about ancestor bullshit, you are probably living in area close by to river side or bush. That tortoise simply wondered to your doorstep, you either cook and eat it or throw it back to the bush or better still, give it to someone who can eat it.

Re: Is This Just A Tortoise At My Door Or Did My Ancestors Visit? by Ewedegubbler: 11:31am On May 25

Yoor ancestors must have been very cunning and deceitful in their past life if they really reincarnated as a tortoise.

That's a tortoise. A turtle cannot recline back into its shell like that creature in the pic .
