Nigerians: No Human Being Turns Into Bird -By Leo Igwe

AfAW has notified the police public relations officer and the Ogun state chapter of the International Federation of Women Lawyers. There is some unconfirmed report that the woman is in the custody of the police. AfAW will work with authorities to provide her with all the necessary support and ensure that she suffers no further harm or abuse. This video illustrates the grip of superstition on the minds of Nigerians. Modern education has not succeeded in weakening this grip. The misconception that a human being can turn into a bird remains a popular superstition.

The notion that a human being could magically turn or transform into a bird or cat is counterintuitive. This claim contradicts the fundamentals of science and logic that Nigerians study in schools. Religions often preach, peddle, and reinforce this mistaken idea, and baseless nonsense, motivating Nigerians to show no compassion for persons believed to have the capacity to transform into animals.

Nigerians often use this misconception to justify murder, torture and maltreatment of elderly persons, including those suffering from dementia and other mental health challenges.

AfAW urges Nigerians to abandon these superstitions and embrace science and critical thinking.
