A Call Can Kill You
Well at least right now most of Lagos (that’s the commercial capital of Nigeria) believes that if you answer a call from certain numbers, dubbed ‘killer numbers’, you will drop dead immediately. Immediately. Right there. Poof! Gone!
Us humans seem to lose our capacity of individual thought in masses. We easily believe in and will readily do something that we will probably laugh at in our more saner individual moments. Everybody is superstitious on some level but when entire cities are taken over, it’s a pretty wow thing.
When an entire community around the world is taken over, it’s supa-incredulous! I admit, I was a part of the gang in that one. Hey, it happened, okay!!! 😉
