My Experience On Superstitious Beliefs by Razzy1(m): 12:15pm On Jan 27, 2017 |
Can anyone tell me the read 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. I just want to point out some superstitious beliefs we were made to believe while growing up. *I heared if you eat mango with garri.you’ll die. Now, I don’t know where my aunt got this from,all I remember is having to wait for 2 to 3 hours before taking garri after sucking mango. *crossing over someone Lying down. If you cross over me then,I swear,you’ll have to cross me back before you’ll have peace.we can play football together,hide and seek,police and thief,no problem,I then decide to lay my exhausted body on the floor to rest,that’s when you’ll see me as an obstacle to learn jumping..Hmmm,only God knows where the strength will come from,I’d be yelling “cross over me back,u must cross over me o,I won’t gree..Lol,Like I know what it means.. *Eating in the dark. When I asked seun in primary school why it isn’t good to eat in the dark,he said it gives room to the dead to dine with you which in turn could result to your death.Seun,If you are reading this,Wehdone! I think I now know the reason for that.It wouldn’t be nice if you are treated to a sumptuous meal by your mom and *NEPA* decides to do what they know best..hehe..your bro decides to power on the gen but that doesn’t concern you as long as you know where your mouth is..Light on,you find one of those hungry cockroaches on the handful of Eba you are about swallowing staring at you like”Do you wish to be unfortunate?”… *Hitting a man with a broom would make him Impotent. Errhmm,you see,long time ago there’s one broda Femi living close,whose mum results to using broom anytime he delivers his atrocities,I think maybe because it was always the weapon close that time..women in the area would come around pacifying her while chanting these words”okunrin ni o”(he is a male).Me and my clique would be laughing & saying”He’s gonna be impotent”… That was a long time ago. Now,just last week,been on holiday from school,I was opportuned to witness an event on monday. A lady and her mother threw the neighbourhood into a kerfuffle.Bro Femi impregnated a girl. As if that was not enough,another lady came on thursday for the same issue…I was now wondering,shebi bro Femi is impotent,hw come? *Don’ eat food that has fallen on the floor. The finishing to that statement is,Satan has eaten it already. Have lost count on the number of chin chin & the likes that I forfeited for that statement.When you try picking food off the floor,like an alarm,it rings in your ear till you remove your mind from it. Satan has eaten it and u can still see it on the floor..interesting. *If you put your eyelashes in your parents shoes, they will forget the offence you commited. Yeepa! I can’t forget what this statement made me pass through one time.when I was in primary school I feared my mom than my Dad,but Bleep that shit,I don’t anymore..Lol. My favorite sport then was football and I loved playing it with other neighbourhood kids.it got to a time I didn’t even want to hear the word foot…am off to play leaving whatever I was doing,assignment,household chores.Most times,after coming back from school, without doing any chores,I run off..My mum would then be infuriated when she comes back that I left the chores undone. This continued for weeks until one day she was about leaving for work,she told me the same thing that’s getting stuck to my memory”Make sure u do the chores”,as usual,the words passed through my right ear and came out through the left.Immediately I came back again I rushed off. As I was engrossed in what I was playing,I heared a feminine voice calling Dolapo.Turning round I saw my wonderful mum on the bike,her words”So this is what you do,You are in trouble”rang in my ears..As a Nigerian,when your mom says that,u knw what you have bargained for.Reaching home that day,she was already asleep.My troubled mind could now co-ordinate with other parts of the body.Then Seun words came to my head”If you put your eyelashes in your parents shoes,they will forget the offence you committed” I did just that.when she woke up,I greeted her and she replied pleasantly and in my mind I was like”this woman don forget,Thank God”we went about the remaining day normally like nothing happened.Dinner time,after eating,she asked”Dolapo,so that’s what you do every day that makes you not to do your chores?99days for the thief one day for the owner,when you are done,don’t let me remind you of kneeling down and raising your ends…Staring at my unfinished food all that was on my own mind was”so this thing no work,chai” *If your tooth pulls out,throw it on a rooftop and run inside. Yeah, I was made to believe that when you throw it on the rooftop and run inside, a lizard will take it and give you another one..Funny right? I let it pass. These are the superstitious beliefs I was made to belive and had connection with my life one time or the other. These beliefs are just to guide children from harm e.g Eating in the dark,hygiene e.g.picking foods off the floor. Feel free to share yours in the comment section. 1 Like 1 Share |
