When I was young, if I wanted my parents to forget my misdeeds, I'd just pull few strands of my eyelashes and put it on my head.

Ahh...
Growing up as a 'Razz' boy in a 'Razz' area of Lagos state, I remember these primary school superstitions:



When you see two dogs mating/Gangbang1ng, drive a nail into the ground...and they will be hooked until you 'release' them

When you see a hawk/pigeon/random bird flying about, aim your hand at it, and then pull back your middle/index/any finger and the bird will keep flying round in circles

When you see a bunch of Herons flying about, start singing "Leke Leke, Gbamileke" and white spots will appear on your fingers.

When you spit on the floor, wipe it with your feet or you will get a sore throat...

I know a particular one that involves writing the name of your enemy on a piece of paper and burning the paper. The person would fall ill.

If you want your tooth to grow back, when it falls off, take it and run round the house once and throw it on the roof of the house *smh* I did this, but nah pure job
Re: Superstitious Beliefs That Actually Works! by Toks2008(m): 2:02pm On Sep 25, 2012
What many people don't realize is that faith is the driving force behind any form of belief.

If you have faith in your TV and you hold the tv in the morning and believe that if you kiss the screen 7 times, you will get good fortune that day and you believe so much in that,you will surely meet good fortune that day.

The bible says all things are possible to he that believe.Mark 9:23

The question is "Who do you hinge your believe on? Who is is the source of your faith"?

Jehovah or the devil?

When you are pressed beyound measure and there was no nearby restroom to pass out dung, just put some saliva on your navel and you will be relieved till you get to the toilet. This worked for me many times, especially when coming back from primary school after eating all sorts of junk.

When you pee in open air, make sure you attach some saliva to your urine after you have urinated, so that no body can come and pee on your urine and make their manhood bigger at the detriment of yours. lol
