If you are worried of your parents or guardian beating the hell out of you after you,ve been mischievious or done something wrong,you should find the nearest elephant grass bush and tie the leaf in a knot...that way you,ll either be forgiven or your misdeed would be forgotten...it never worked for me. |

I cld remember wen we are young in primary skul those days.wheneva we hv a futbal competition wt another skul or even playing wt another team,we must get the head of the male lizard(agarma lizard)and buried it inside our goal post. We cn neva loose the match and many a times our opponents wl find it difficult scoring us and we always loose wen we forgot to do that. There was couple of times wen no one could even scored another and we just noticed that they hv their own lizard head buried in their goalpost too and the need to add the female lizard eggs also prove to be stronger. 1 Like |

I grew up in d village and i like hunting birds in those days bt one particular thing that i noticed then is that weneva i shot a red male lizard wt my catapult,it must definitely get some marks on the rubber and it wld cut in a short time. It happened always nt just a coincidence then bcus my mates then also experienced the same too. |

Seconded, it still works for me. When pepper enters your eye, you lick salt and the pain will ease. Sometimes it worked. |

If you have a sore throat, you wake early in the morning without talking to anyone, you go whisper three times to the joint of two walls. Sometimes,it worked, the sore throat may completely disappear like ten minutes later! If you are having constipation, you rub your saliva on your anus if you notice a little boil starting to grow on you eyelid, you remove a strand or two of your eyelashes. This one still works for me. |

Kaaii!!!!. See them ooooo, na soso aje pako full Nairaland. Well me too oh cos I remember vividly When we went to fetch firewood, along the way we enter people's farm to eat any available fruit in that season, once spotted a charm placed in the farm, "All of us" must fetch a cain and beat that charm till it torn into pieces so as to render it powerless from coming back to harm us. The belief then was that whoever does not partake in that beating will the charm comes to affect. We so much believe in this and we use all our efforts to participate in beating the charm. |

@fnk If you go to a market and take a mirror and bend down and look at the lets of the people walking around in the market, you will notice that some of them are ghost, their legs doesn't touch the ground. But if they discover you, they will try to hit the mirror off your hand and if they do and the mirror touch ground, you will die. I thought of trying it out at Oshodi market, but fear no allow me. There is this one too, back in those days in "Ilu Oke" there is the belief that if you visit a blacksmith place collect a little of the water he uses to cool the red hot irons, use the water to wash your face you will start seeing strange creatures like somebody that has only one big eye on its fore head, beings walking with their backs, beings having only one leg etc. That they will know that you see them as you will be too scared and at the end of the day they will turn you to a blind person. Fear too never made me to try it o. 1 Like |

dagboss: @fnk Held a similar superstition then. Maybe i still do, because i've never quite tried it, and for the same reason as you. |
Re: Funny But True To Life Superstitions by orekinky: 3:35pm On Apr 03, 2012 |
At oshodi market,won ati lo na yin ju. (Too much beating) cos you will termed for another thing.don't just try it at all is my suggestion. |

Celyt: If you have a sore throat, you wake early in the morning without talking to anyone, you go whisper three times to the joint of two walls. ABSOLUTELY CORRECT....The sore throat thang has always worked and even worked for me recently too. I suggested it to my pals and they attested to it that it works too. |
