They told you not to talk so that you will not baff the chicken with your spit.

They told us not to stand while eating otherwise the food will find its way to your legs.

They said we should not sleep on our backs so that witches and wizards would not attack us.

The one that annoys me till this day is that if you put the decapitated head of a duck in a submerged basin, it would turn to a snake. I believed it.

If bees gather in a compound, the death of someone is imminent (this I found to be true in two instances in my childhood compound and one case in Kogi State where I worked, but I can't establish a connection between the bees and death because two out of the three were old).

That the world is going to end and a white man dressed in white ancient robe is going to come from the sky with a horse and several other white men on horses to take people with him into the sky covered in clouds where they'd live forever and sing songs throughout their lives like robots.
Yeah, I'm talking about the imaginary rapture our Nairaland celebrity loves to talk about.

Lol snake tell person make him chop apple

I dunno if it passes as superstition, but my elder sister still believes that drinking garri after eating opioro mango leads to death

Nigeria would be better again,instead its getting worst.

If you flog a child with broom, his manhood if boy will become smaller and her breast will be smaller if girl

you angered a deaf man If you put leaf in your mouth

If you hit your left leg on something, bad luck awaits the person

Radarada, mtchew

That of a deaf man is not superstition o. it is a fact

That after a girl finish peeing(unirating) if you take nail and stick it on the urinated spot the girl will like you forever.......i do am tire for where no girl like me.

In my village there's this suspicion not to cover a chicken, turkey or duck under basket and live it for the night that if u do it would turn to a big snake.

They instead tie it and take it inside.

I used to believe it I wanted to know how it relates.

There was no explanation but I thought of the belief. A covered basket of a chicken turning to snake in a rural area. If the belief had been there for decades and I was told this around late 90' s when the area was far more rural than it is now.

It was obvious that a chicken owner covered his chicken with a basket and a python strolled in and ate the chicken, normally if a python eats a sth big they stay still for a while.

To me that was a reasonable explanation to all their decade long superstition

the chicken feathers actually grows baclittle by little

That if you put dog's eye boogers (ipin in Yoruba) in your eyes that you'll start seeing ghost

Never tried it though (has anyone tried it before?)

Up till now I haven't confirmed if it was superstitious or not.

That if you kill the male of animal that copulated a female that the offspring may die.

1) The wall is the leg of God.

2) When you eat you must remain some food for the ground, because the ground is your brother.

3)If you collect a stone from a small child, the child would stop growing taller and will become a dwarf.

4) Female students should not be beaten on the buttocks.

5)If you bend down and look between your legs in the market, you will see ghosts.

6) Ghosts visit their families every Thursday.

7)If you draw something on a paper and then pour kerosene on the paper, the thing you drew will manifest in real life.

Like if you draw a car on a paper and pour kerosene thereon, the car will suddenly come out in real life and you can start driving it.

Women are inferior to men.

9)Lady koi koi like disturbing female students in boarding schools.
