kellybently: When we form calcified opinions, it is difficult, or impossible, sometimes, to consider alternate views. I just told you guys how I've spent at least four years dissecting dead bodies. I've been with them alone, I don go our hospital mortuary countless times for night to read (light always dey there...plus it's very quiet..though with a characteristic smell).. Sometimes, I dey dey that mortuary alone. I have never knocked before entering there...I will never knock.. I understand, though...we are deeply rooted in our culture..most of us grew up hearing these tales.. My only worry be say why person wey don get education go still dey believe things wey uneducated people tell them years ago. See, the dead has no power. Whether you believe this or not..no wahala.. 2 Likes |

Dorwadora: It's still one of those things Africans do out of sheer ignorance. It's being done by the same people who sheepishly believe they can make mysterious money from fellow human blood and body parts. It came from the same archaic people who believe bald men have gold and diamond in their skulls Now, those of us who work in the hospitals, do we engage in such things when when entering rooms where deceased patients are kept? Of course, the answer is a capital NO! Have we died? The answer, again, is a capital NO! |

I heard from a guy who works in the mutuary that they put one new dead man.. That the next day all the dead people laid close to him were pushed to different direction. The next day dey arranged him again the next day the same thing.. They have to call the family that dey can't put such person there.. I mean a dead person. They came to carry there corpse. 1 Like 1 Share |

Dorwadora:What is your reason for going to SAY GOODBYE to a dead body since you know the truth that a dead body is useless and can't feel or see anything? If you believe that a dead man needs your goodbye, then you should also believe that he needs you to knock before coming in to say your Goodbye. |

There is a man that died but before his death, he specifically told his children to bury him in a traditional way and not in Christian way. The children of the late man happened to be Christians, they decided to go against their father's instruction and brought one pastor to bury their father on the burial day. The said pastor collapsed and died immediately while ministering. The said man is dead and seem powerless but the result shocked everyone. So Irrespective of your believe, faith or religion, there are mysteries that surrounds us which we don't have explanation to. I have a formal neighbour that works in mortuary, he told me that they don't just barge in on the dead, there is a form of knocking or notice given to the dead before entering inside. There are rules of engagement everywhere, don't limit or rubbish everything you hear 2 Likes 1 Share |

TONYE001: Even the "Oyinbos" that brought you western education believe in paranormal activities around the dead. Let me and you go keep vigil at a cemetery at night. Let's see if you'll come back here to call the experience "superstition" 1 Like 1 Share |

TONYE001: I just threw a challenge, bro. Take it up if you think you're man enough. After all, you don't believe in ghosts and paranormal activities. Let's just stay one night at, maybe, Ikoyi cemetery. I bet you'll start giving a different definition to superstition. 1 Like 1 Share |

Some comments make we wonder if some people really have knowledge Too much movie have drained some people’s sense away Every land with their own belief(s) system with many of their alleged (superstitions) can kill you if not adhere to Yes you said a dead is a dead and unconscious of nothing but if that’s true How many times have you went to the cemetery in the midnight to chill ? Because civilization doesn’t make anyone ignorant or stupid Or why do you think Americans do Halloween every year? Some people only enjoy regrets after disobedience And if you warned them first, you’d look like the fool rather than them 1 Like 1 Share |

I remember sometime around 2019.the woman that sells shop somewhere around fmc roundabout in delta sold her two cartons of beer to someone from inside the hospital who came and narrated to her that they were celebrating.bought two cartons made deposit for the bottles and the cartons and promised to return them the next day and collect back the deposit.the next day,bottles of beer was seen littered inside the mortuary ,it was then that the woman realized she sold the drink to a ghost.the mortician picked the bottles, arranged it and gave to the woman but she refused to collect . 4 Likes 1 Share |

Creamypie: Pally read your Bible well before saying it wasn't Samuel,stop arguing blindly... Read 1Samuel 28:1-20. Yes God hates sorcery,hardly for you to see God pass death sentence on any sin but for wizardry and sorcerer He commands they be killed. This evil people can manipulate a whole lot by their evil powers.... It was Samuel that she invoked and she even said gods was coming from the ground as Samuel was been invoked,that was how she knew that it was King Saul that disguised himself to come. And Samuel asked Saul why he came to disturb him from his rest. He told Saul that the next day Saul and his children will be with him in the land of the dead and it happened exactly so... The world is deep,just fear God and stick with Him....evil full the world 2 Likes 2 Shares |
