Well, it didn't sit well with Nigerians who quickly took to twitter to curse him out. Trust Nigerians, they came out gun blazing. Lol. See the tweets after the cut...

This is just one of the million beliefs we all grew up with in Nigeris, too much lies from parents and outdated cultures still lingers even today. if u were not brought up within the shores of Nigeria, count yourself lucky. Have u heard this before? "You will go mad in old age If you ever sweep the floors after 7pm, it's a taboo"
You will be shocked If people on this platform start righting out the taboos they've heard of as kids growing up within the shores of Naija, how we were coaxed to do one thing or the other, using lies.
The heart of man is first of all wicked! Thank God for Pastors n how the bible has been able to open our eyes, not leaving out education n awareness.
Cheers! #FirstTime

It's not a lie... it's a funny excuse igbo parents use to deny children Egg. Ask ur parents if u are Igbo.

The guy was partially right.
But typical of us, we do not tolerate any idea that opposes ours and rather than use logic or wisdom, we use aggression.Thats the reason the whites naturally believe we are easily prone to violence and therefore easily shoots blacks for little reasons.
Uberfacts was a little right because that was the Myth in the past years and not the modern age Nigeria. So he ought to have said, in the past, Nigerians believed in a myth that Children who......

None of the above reasons. The reason is simply the evolution of the concept of Marriage. Take African Marriage for instance. In the past it used to be the man as the sole provider with the woman as the home maker with limited or no formal education. In present times both the man and woman are educated and are meant to pool their resources to fund the home. Now where is the evolution you will ask. Women's education and awareness and Men's conscious inability to comprehend women's new status while expecting to reap in its benefits and recoiling in the comfort of men's past status.

Simply put it is the inability to understand each other and accept each other in new world that leads to the unhappiness, lost love, lost expectations e.t.c and eventually the break up of the marriage.

My fellow Nigerian's no dey dull one bit. What kind of stupid fact is that one? Infact he is a mumuguosity 'sigh' #onelovefromsnow#

Unknown said...

I was part of those who were unfortunate to hear parents sing this belief as slogans to be real..... it's so cray and disbelieving as it were but the truth is most of us were made to believe that. My mumsy used to tell us she doesn't share egg just to prevent us from having it whenever she's eating it.

No matter how we rant and rain abuses on these guys (operators of the uberfact twitter handle) , they are way more rounded intellectually than us, it shows in their researches.

The egg was one of those foods considered as luxury and reserved for adults. Also when a chicken was killed, the child(ren) got the legs (not laps o!), the head and the intestines. In short, most of the time, the children ate left overs. Anything more was seen as over pampering and spoiling. And when a child was spoilt he ended up badly. Remember MKO Abiola, he told Nigeria that he ate an egg for the first time at 19; given to him by his girlfriend Simbiat, who became his first wife. It is not today the young and women in Nigeria/Africa started bearing the brunt of society and living under oppression. There was always, a tradition/proverb to justify sundry oppressions. Don't kill the messenger!

I ate very many eggs as a kid (a consequence of us having plenty family chickens roaming the yard) and I ain't no thief. Not yet, not ever!
If anything, my love for the feathered buddies has endured as I keep a few just for the welcome 'greetings' I get on getting home and you guessed right, the eggs.
