Do You Believe In Superstitions? Like These Ones... by Nobody: 10:44am On Jul 23, 2016
According to my loyal dictionary here, Superstitions are belief in magical and similar influences which are usually widely held but wrong idea.
I no wan carry you go far so make i talk am for my Nigerian English. Simply put, Superstitions are things we belief are connected with magical influences. For example;

#1 - People believe if you're going to a particular place and hit your left foot against something, that is a sign of bad omen.

#2 - If you spit your saliva on the ground whether knowingly or unknowingly and later someone step on it, you're going to experience throat problem sooner although not permanently

#3 - If you hear something like a sound in your ear, na in be say someone don dey talk about your matter for somewhere
.
.
.
Now My thought is; I don't believe in No #1 and as an average science student, i do not believe in No #3 also. But that of Number #2 is causing confusion cos it seems it had once happened to me.
I even wan put No #2 for experimentation to confirm am but i dey fear for my innocent throat.
You guys can add the superstitions you knew also likewise your opinion on the one i mentioned here and yours.
HAPPY WEEKEND!

OP, you said you are a science student. Have you ever heard of quantum mechanics? Have you ever seen the Schrödinger equation?

All the things you listed are real and they have scientific explanations.

The crime of mankind is that they created gods and attributed normal natural occurrences as miracles, signs and wonders and using them to hurt their fellow men.

i've heard of quantum before but not so that well, Schrodinger equation sounds unfamiliar to my ear, thats why i said am 'an AVERAGE science student'
I understand your concept, but what about that of the No #2, when you spit on ground. Is that also backed up with fact?
Am just kind of curious? Plus you're a genius and thanks for replying to this post

Let me give you a little insight about Schrodinger's equation.

The equation states, correctly, that the subatomic particles that makes up everything can exist in more than one place at the same time. Experiments show this is true. So scientists argue that since subatomic particles are the building blocks of everything, then what they built up can exist in the same way.

The saliva you spitted out of your mouth is therefore still connected to you in the subatomic state. If it comes into contact with a disease, quantum mechanics prove that disease can affect you.

Also consider telepathy. When you hear a little voice it means someone far away is talking behind your back. This also is true. How does your GSM work? Or let us use a simple wireless microphone as an instance.

Our voices (and thoughts) radiate and flow into the atmosphere at 670 million miles per hour. So when you speak, it takes a second for your voice to reach as far as the moon and it continues to travel forever in all directions of the universe. The path the voice follows is electromagnetic waves. So if I have a magnet, it can attract your voice in real time and you can hear it loud through amplifiers. That's how microphones work and interestingly your GSM.

When you make a phone call to someone in USA, it's not the phone that took your voice there. Your voice is already radiating through the universe. The phone simply sifts the voice out of trillion others because you and the person you are talking to are on the same frequency.

I took time to explain this to you because that's how television works too. And shockingly, it's what our brains pick when we sleep which we know as dreams. People we call prophets and miracle workers just have the privilege of higher brain frequencies. When Einstein died, it was discovered that his brain was different. It's still in a jar at Princeton University.

Without messing with your belief, I must tell you that 90% of what religion do which we term miracles is actually solid science. The white people know but they won't just blow it up yet and expose religion because the existence of the state of Israel hinges on the belief that a being somewhere is controlling the universe. The contrary is the truth.

OP, not only those things you listed there can be refer as superstition but also believe in some bible claims like drinking poison and handling snake to prove you are really Jesus's minion, because they are part of widely believed nonsense but are not remotely true.

All of these are superstitions and i see no reason why you should believe any. Well there is no problem if you believe them, it's just that, yoruba in many cases makes superstitions for certain purposes. For example when we were kids, they would tell us that any foods that falls to the ground is not to be eaten because satan had already feasted on them. In reality, no satan feasted on it, our parents were just trying to make us hygienic. They know children are scared of satan and they wouldn't want to eat what he's eating, hence the reason for that superstitious talk. In my opinion, this is applicable to your second superstition up here.

The rest are just some random nonsense talks. undecided undecided

Some people believe that talking to the sky will lead to their dreams coming true.

Or giving their pastor money will lead them to making more money.

A lot of people in Nigeria engage in those foolish practices.

Superstition is nothing but pure insanity. @GloryIsaac, no matter how yhu try to prove unprovable things, science is science and God is God. superstition is just a concocted ideology of the confused, by the confused and for the confused. No such thing exists.
