Earlier This Morning some of my roommates who were preparing for general studies Exams where deliberating over the likely questions that might come out. One of the examples a guy among them gave was: "who is d president of Nigeria?".. And jokingly my friend replied him dat d OOni of Ife is the correct answer.. Then another guy was like "u beta keep shut B4 d man's spirit comes over to slap u" and my friend vehemently replied that d dead couldn't exercise any influence over the living and all those spiritual stuffs were superstitions. He further said it was because the guy was local and had a crude and primitive mindset that's why he still believed in such trash. I just sat back and watched the "rap battle" that ensued after that statement..
But my question isthat does ones level of civilization and exposure determines whether he/she is susceptible to spiritual attack or not?
Thanks.

Nope... there wre some very illitrate and uncivilized people whi do not share beliefs in superstitions

not less than 70% of the so-called "illiterate and uncivilised" populace resides in rural areas (which happens to be the "melting pot" of superstitous beliefs... But that doesn't annul that the fact that most civilised urban dwellers still harbor superstitious beliefs in their minds
