As a Nigerian kid I believed we are the leaders of tomorrow - politically.

Alas how can we be, when the then leaders are yet to die or leave the position

Don't worry its obvious that u are still a kid by d time u grow up they will die n u will "lead tomorrow"

As a kid I believed that people of my religion are beautiful while people of other religion(s) are ugly. I was therefore shocked when I saw beautiful people of other religion(s). Silly me, skin beauty has nothing to do with who or what you worship.

My elder brother used to be my hero when I was a kid and he made me believe some really stupid things:

We had a right-and-left handheld game. The battery once wore out and he told me that if I poured kerosene on the battery compartment, it would start to work again. Na so I go pour kerosene ontop the thing. The game was history after that.


I remember that during the 1990s coup, I saw a police pickup truck truck carrying the charred remains of a dead person. I went to my brother shaking with fear and told him what I saw. He replied by saying "no, it was a roasted goat you saw. Policemen like eat ing goat meat."

Till today I believe policemen like goat meat cheesy

uj_sizzle: I remember watching Bill Cosby's 'Kids Say', and it occurred to me how as kids we had some real weird imaginations, had silly things we believed or just swallowed the lies our parents and elder kids told us hook line and sinker; ofcourse until aftersometime in our adult life we realized we'd been real silly grin

Here are a list of things I thought and believed...
You can add yours too tongue

*I believed in the Tooth fairy(courtesy of cartoons), only ish was in Nigeria our tooth fairies were actually rats. Mum would tell me to keep my tooth safe after it'd fallen off or the rats would eat it and i'll have rat teeth cry. I guarded my tooth with my life.

*I always wondered how Santa would drop me gifts since we didn't have a chimney. I bothered dad so much about adding a chimney to the roof for Santa n begged him to buy a Christmas tree too. I got the tree but not the chimney, and I never saw Santa.

*Everytime I saw Always sanitary pad advert, i'd ask mum why they poured that blue liquid on it. When I saw her own pad I was so excited, I spent over a week searching for where she hid the blue liquid. I got a lashing for all my troubles undecided

*My dad is dark and mum fair. I have two fair siblings, while my bro n I are dark skinned. I concluded dad birthed us and mum had the other two.

*When I finally discovered only women had kids, I kept wondering why we were dark. My little mind concluded the doctors colored us whichever way our parents wanted. I was gonna have red babies like the red Indians cool

*When I was 6, my classmate told me we could turn cabin biscuit to chocolate by frying. I got home and emptied half a pack of cabin in the pan--all I got was charred biscuit afterwards. I still believed I had done it wrong till I turned 10..before I finally realized that cabins weren't chocolates grin

*After a bout of chicken pox, I refused to eat chicken for the next 5yrs...my parents had to convince me I hadn't contracted it from an actual chicken tongue

*I believed covering my head with a blanket would keep the monsters away embarassed

*Things acted in Sci Fi movies were real. I wondered why our car couldn't fly.

*Whenever I swallowed an orange seed, i'd go to sleep really scared wondering when the tree would grow outta my belly.

*If u stood up while eating all the food would settle on your feet.

*Food sacrifices left in the center of a 3-way junction were taken away by real spirits grin

LOL @ the colour gist. toh red nigerian.
