Beads or chain wore by some women on their waist , does it have any spiritual power? What is it for?

I once saw a lady on it, I was scared of responding to her greetings coz I was scared she was an Ogbanje......

In traditions its like an armulet. It is usually given by elderly female relatives for "protection".

Ileke idi, oya come and answer dis

I believe some of them are worn as a kind of charm, while to some its just fashion, nowadays gals wear silver or gold waist chains, and me I like it on ma babe, I saw one silver on her waist, and I told her I wanna see 4 d next time I checked in.

It look sexy on them.
