Superstition is the belief in supernatural
causality that one event causes another
without any natural process linking the two
events.

Here is a list of 10 superstitions chosen based
on how ridiculous, widespread and comical
they are:

1. Hitting your left leg on a stone is seen as
an evil omen or warning to turn back from
where ever the person might be going. This
omen is taken seriously and the journey is
usually forfeited for the future. Failure to
heed the warning could lead to possibly loss
of life.

2. Don’t drink the water from a coconut else
you automatically become an olodo.

3. It is not a good idea to whistle at night.
There is this belief that such whistling
attracts snakes to the whistler.

4. Don’t allow people to crossover your hand
or leg,else you will give birth to a child with
one hand or leg.

5. Owls hooting on a rooftop or on a nearby
tree is a bad omen as it is believed that
someone in that house will soon die.

6. If your hands are itching without reason, it
is believed that some kind of fortune is about
to come your way.

7.Eating in the dark is forbidden. It is believed
that such act could give room to the dead to
eat with you and this could lead to your death
or grave ailments.

8. If you spit on the floor and someone
steps on it you will have sore throat.

9. Don’t bend over and look through your legs
in public, you may see witches.

10. Hitting a man with a broom would make
him impotent. It is believed that if a man is
hit with a broom he becomes impotent until
he retaliates by hitting the person back with a
broom seven times.

Most of this stuffs are just to instill discipline in us and also to caution us, a kid could get injured while trying to drink water from the coconut. Someone eating in the dark could mistakenly swallow those stubborn fish bones and flogging someone with broom doesn't look nice cuz definitely you will have to remove broken broom sticks from your skin after the whipping.. Spitting about aint hygienic at all and that "superstition" actually helped a lot. Bending over could send blood straight to the brain and you know what can happen after that.......

Can anyone tell me the real deal behind not allowing a girl to sleep on the outside of the bed?
Anything superstitious?

I went to visit a friend, the gf told me he has been vexed, he came back while she was sleeping and he woke her to shift for him. She sleepily told him to enter the other side of the bed and sleep and then wahala started.
