Creamypie:Oga, I no get strength for una Arguements There is a difference between the living and the dead. It is done Just to formerly inform the occupants of the Morgue that the living is entering except you don't want to live again then enter there without knocking. 9 Likes 1 Share |

If she had entered after one knock, and then experiences something odd, it would av been attributed to her failure of not doing it 3x. You see, (fear+imagination) vs (reality); there's a very thin line between them. Fear kills. Fear overwhelms the mind. Fear inhibits rational thinking. 6 Likes 1 Share |

YourFavorite21: I have spent at least four years dissecting dead bodies. I have been in the mortuary for hours in the night studying....sometimes, alone, other times, with colleagues. I've walked into rooms where dead bodies lay without knocking. As a matter of fact, I've dissected the human body from head to toe. I want to categorically tell you that a dead body is just a carcass...a log of wood, if I may. It has no power whatsoever. All these talks are just products of our tradition.. We should know better. 31 Likes 7 Shares |

Dorwadora: I'm not sure you understand the underlying question. He asked "why must you say goodbye to your grandpa's friend?" Since according to you the dead is dead. It can't see or hear and does not know what is going on. What is the purpose of the goodbye. If you are able to answer this, you would have answered your initial question above 9 Likes 1 Share |

It's funny how we are scared of the dead when it's perhaps the living we should be afraid of. To answer your question op, this practice is ancient, dates back to primitive men, hitherto, when man gained consciousness, treating the dead this way stems out of innate fear which is naturally biologic, cos the primitive had to contend with a lot in whatever natural habitat he finds hlimself, with no science and very little knowledge about what to do, which later evolved into deity worship, nothing special, the millennial man has evolved but sticks to some practices he cannot explain but copies this from his forefathers as he continue to honour them and their ways which he refers to culture or perhaps tradition. Be that as it may, man will continue to evolve until infinity. The world without end. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

All these things are just stupid myths they keep sharing and passing to various generations. A dead person is a dead person. I remember when I was very young and when my mom was still alive, whenever rain is falling and there's heavy lightning and thunder she'll make one sound, she made her children believe that, by doing that sound it won't affect them. Africans and traditions are one. Hit me up for your academic research writing services! 1 Like 1 Share |
