LIES I WAS TOLD AS A KID,
growing up as an African igbo child I was made to believe many funny things, whenever I remember them now I smile and wish I had a reply button in my life, lolz when I was a kid I was told that :
whenever it's raining it means God is urinating,lol can you imagine? How can rain be a urine from God, chia
If you pick money on the ground you will turn to yam,
this one really make me laugh out very loud. My parents wanted me not to take money that doesn't belong to me so the had to come up with type of lie to me scared and keep me away from taking money that it not mine.my class teacher those days will tell us that if you touch or go near a lady she will become pregnant 馃榿馃榿馃榿 can you imagine? Actually the wanted us to stay away from ladies so the told us this big lie and we believed it then.
if your biscuit fall for ground no pick am devil don chop am, I decided to use a broken English to write this one because it's very funny
I was told that if I swallow an orange seed, it'll grow in my stomach and become a tree 馃槅
I was also made to believe as a kid that village Masquerades come from ant holes, how can human beings come out from a small ant hole this is unbelievable lol.
if a pear seed is broken calling your name your head will break, I did this during the peer season after eating peer(ube in local igbo language) and corn while I was still a kid I will call my friend name and break the scale of the peer waiting for his head to break 馃榾馃榾
If you whistle in the night witches will record it and call you in the midnight! 馃槀馃槀 how silly!
at the time of renewing your detached tooth as a kid,
when anyone detaches go and throw it on the roof of your house. Then run in and out 7 times, your removed tooth would grow back in 7days!I was also told That EDUCATION is the KEY....
Whereas I grew to find out that IDEA is actually the KEY
When I was a kid my parents told us to to go school, study hard, get good grades so you can have a befitting job with all kind of logistics... But after I school I realised that the rules have changed, we are now in the 21st century where wot you know yesterday is now become obsolete for the use of today... Today we see the A student working for the C student
But don't get me wrong, Education is good, Its only a pathway to success but does not guarantee success
