yuzedo: If you see a kite, hawk, eagle or any bird of prey flying in the sky, simply loop both your index fingers and point at the bird like you would aim a catapult and boom, that avian is going to swoop down to the earth and touch the ground . . .
THAT. SH.IT. WORKS!!!!

tie the tip of the elephant grass for people forget your offence.
can't tell if this works cos i later found that my dad for whom i did
this did not remember your offence past when he hears of it.
so once your not there when he finds out your offence
weather or not you tie the elephant grass, he will forget.

valencia25:

sincerely I totally Agree with this, expecting someone to prove this wrong?

lilkech: in those years in lagos anytime we saw cattle eaglets flying in the sky we would raise our hands to them and wave our fingers furiously while singing something like "se-ke-le-ke, se-ke-le-ke sometin sometin" and just like magic by the time the birds fly by we would have white streaks in most of our finger nails.


This one works 100%


feel free to quote me

Sincerely, are the two of u from anywhere near Isuochi, cos i remeber doing that stuff while growing up nd it seems it works.

i attended a primary school in some part of Edo State, in the 90's, and that was how we used to sing it over there.

I have always wondered what scientific explanation can be made for that white-dot-on-fingers phenomenon . It happened to me when I was a kid as well , "Leke leke gimme 10 fingers" and Voila ! white dots appears on our fingers , till date I still wonder what caused it , everlasting mystery that will be I guess .


Lots and Lots , will come back to write them later I am very busy at the moment wink

Re: Funny But True To Life Superstitions by lilkech(m): 2:50pm On Apr 02, 2012
that ' se ke le ke ' stuff is undisputed.


another one i confirmed was anytime you observe 2 fully grown roosters (male fowls)
fighting and there is a female (hen) nearby, just find a long 5inch concrete nail, draw a perimeter (circle) around the fighting fowls and stick the nail in the ground inside the same circle. IT ONLY WORKS IF THE FOWLS ARE FIGHTING OVER A HEN.


as in ehn . . . those chickens will fight to the death


someone try it, its a 150% guaranteed

dekung: If you wash your hands with a particular native soap while having a bout with stomach pain you will be relieved

If you stand on a motar while it raining you will get struck by lightening

If you whistle at night a snake would pay you a visit

This last one made me realise most things are sheer coincidence:
When my daughter turned 10 months, my mother in law was worried that she has not started walking so she went to the village and complained to some people who told her to get white chalk, ground it into powder and mix it with soap. She was to bath my daughter using the mixture of soap, chalk, administered with a local sponge and her body should be rinsed with water warmed by the morning sunlight. she brought the chalk and native and local sponge but for one reason or the other she couldnt perform the silly ritual before she went back home but she promised to come back the following week and bathe for my daughter. Before that week ran out, my daughter had started walking. Assuming she bathed her with the chalky mixture and my girl starts walking she would have been propagating the news that it was the chalk and luke (sunny) warm water.
This is how superstition is birthed!

You dont know maybe she did it in secrete

lo.....that's a million question, may be mama too is laughing behind you because you never mentioned to us what eventually stopped her from performing all what she went to the village to prepere?

If pepper got into ur eyes lick some salt and it will stop. If a child is hicouping, draw a wool from d child's cloth placed it on his/her head and it will stop. If you have boil on your ampit, place ur fingers on d boil and smell repeat severally and d boil will vernish
Re: Funny But True To Life Superstitions by swiftycool(m): 3:07pm On Apr 02, 2012
There's this one about if u have hicups, draw in a deep breadth and hold it in while mouthing the words of d poem black blacK black sheep 5 to 6 times quite fast before releasing your breadth. After this the hicup completely vanishes. U don't believe? Try it and get back to us wink

slimyem: when i was young my age-mates and i were just developing boobies,we heard stories that if we wanted 'em boobies to be bigger,we should find a certain species of beetle and rub it on the neeples.
Dunno if it ever worked for anyone though!

I know this one.That insect is not a beetle,it is called ant-tapper(kuluso).They live in conical(cone shaped) holes formed in dusty or fine sandy grounds which are meant to trap ants
Re: Funny But True To Life Superstitions by slimyem: 3:26pm On Apr 02, 2012

Seems like everybody had a thing with the lekeleke and white finger dots.

If your biscuit or groundnut falls on the ground, match it to powder least the devil eats it. * If your tooth comes off, rap it on a paper and throw it on the roof, least a lizard sees it and swallows it and your tooth wld never grow back. The lekeke thing did worked.

You mean whenever it ''itches'' her? I've heard that one too before

That continues blinking of the eye meant someone would visit u. * That story telling was only done in the night, if u must say or listen to any, remove one eye lash.
