Ten Funny Beliefs Among The Yoruba People by leederrty1997: 8:06pm On Jul 27, 2015
The Yoruba people are well known for their numerous cultural and religious beliefs which guides them mentally, spiritually and morally in life. There are legions of beliefs among the Yoruba people, but here, we are talking about some ten funny ones.
1. Child, teeth and Lizards
I bet it, those who are familiar with this one are laughing right now. It is a normal experience to have some teeth fall-out during childhood days.And whenever this happens, the child or victim will have to wait for another tooth/teeth to grow out of the gum. But in Yorubaland, the people believed that if you don’t throw the tooth/teeth on the roof alongside seven (7) stones and pray that Lizards swallow them, your tooth/teeth may not grow again! That’s it, believe it or not, it won’t grow properly. How come?
2. Eating the meat or fish before finishing the food can result to greediness
If you grow up among the Yoruba people and you didn’t come across this belief, then your childhood must be missing somethings. Children do not dare touch their meat or fish before finishing their food. If they do, they are surely requesting for a knock on their head, or a slap, just because Yoruba mothers believe it will lead to the child being greedy. So, don’t touch that meat, else…..
3. Playing with an umbrella without rain falling
This sound like a normal thing to do. Of course it is, but among the Yoruba people, if you play with an umbrella without rain falling at that moment, they believe that there is going to be continuous rainfall on your wedding day. Who wants this? Nobody! So, don’t play with an umbrella when rain isn’t falling.
4. Ghosts visit their homes on Thursday nights
Why Thursday nights? Why can’t it be any other nights? In Yorubaland, they believe that gnomes visit their homes on Thursday nights to check if everything is in order. This is a warning, don’t take your bae to the backyard on Thursday nights, else both of you wana see a ghost.
