Which Superstition Do You Believed/tried When You Were A Kid by Notyamate(op): 7:48pm On May 14, 2020
Let's have some fun

While growing up, as a kid we have at one point or the other believed in some supernatural, superstitious and fetish things, though these are not true but at that time we believe it to be true.


Lemme start:

– If you tear and buried a pieces of Bible/Quran for 7days and dig it up, it would have turned to money. grin


– If bird pooped on your head you will be rich. grin


– If you eat snake intestines no amount of bullet will penetrate your body (Lalasticlala how far?).


– If you buried a male and a female lizard together and put a ring between them for 7 days, you can get any girl with that ring grin


– If you are constantly looking at your shadow at night, you will get thin.


– If you whistle in the hot afternoon sun snake will come out.


Over to you guys.

I believed the 7 Sky ( Planets) to some extent until I started making research about cosmos...

Most of those superstitions are just to scare us or possibly out of ignorance

If you cross someone's leg or they cross yours, you'll give birth to a child that looks like them. Something like that. I no remember.

I can relate to the orange and even rice.
Also mango and garri. Chaii. But I think there's something a combination of the 2 does to the stomach though, not just to the extent of being fatal.

That trouble own, I remember we did it to my mum several times. cheesy it was fingers crossed. We cross our fingers point to the direction where she is and voila when she come back she no go beat us again o. We thought that was working until one day na. cheesy cheesy grin
