Superstition is the belief in supernatural causality that one
event causes another without any natural process linking the
two events.

Superstitious beliefs are always part of the culture of every
society. Some superstitious beliefs were actually used to instigate morals and etiquettes in children. Nevertheless, superstitions help to
preserve the cultures of a society from one generation to
another.

Nigeria:

forget the offence you committed.

next day the person’s teeth will become rotten.

14. If your teacher annoys you, soak garri for 3 days. As the
garri swells, your teacher’s hand would swell.( U go juz use overfeeding kill urself)
