Growing up,we were all told somethings we later found out to be untrue.

Lies seem to be an outlet in time of trouble & adverse conditions.Lies are told everywhere - At work,religious institutions etc without thoughts..

Nowadays,lies seem to be a way of life for Nigerians using it under the cover of several names - Scope,Wisdom Manipulation & so much more ; so kindly contribute by stating lies you've been told at one point in time.

** I know a man who once ate a whole bicycle ; its in the Guinness Book of Records
** Our dog is as tall as a space bus.
** Nigeria's vision 2020 smiley
** Nigerian youths are the leaders of tomorrow (Been said since м̲γ̲̣̣̥ father's time)
** М̲γ̲̣̣̥ father buys a new car every year..

The 1st three sound petty but they were silly lies i'll hardly forget.. undecided

In the church, school, home..., we were been told that the devil marches or licks on any food that falls from your hand to the ground. So the moral lesson was, never pick food particles that had fallen.
