If you have a mother, don't hesitate to keep taking care of her by loving and obeying her always. Mothers are the best forever. How I wish my mom was still alive. I wouldn't believe if I was told I would be motherless. We were friends, we talk, gist and many times, I love being around her to tell her what I was going through.

She taught me how to use the sanitary pad for the first time. She gave me everything I needed in school. She is a woman with hundred Jobs. Why do I say that? She never gets tired. She was a trader, she delivers bread to customers through my Dad's Car, she was an agent dealing with lands, she was a bricklayer, all kinds of menial Jobs like that just to feed us.

She never leaves us alone as she would do everything to cater for her children. She was always sick too. Who won't be sick engaging in those hard works?

But with all that, she tells us stories of herself and stories she experiences with her eyes. Two of the stories she told me that I will never forget are these;


TRUE LIFE STORY OF REINCARNATION

Do you believe in reincarnation? This is a rebirth of a soul. In some tribes especially the Yorubas, we believe in reincarnation which we call "AKUDAYA" in our language. When someone dies and it isn't his or her time, they start to wander or lives somewhere else where people won't notice them.

This man was a mechanic and just got married to his wife. He went out for his daily business and was busy repairing a bus when he was crushed by a trailer coming. He died instantly. He went home to his wife and was happy with her. He stood by her. The wife didn't know her husband has come to appear to her that day.

She didn't notice anything and meanwhile, those working with him that knew what happened where scared to inform his wife of the incidence seeing that they just got married.

They were still thinking of what to do until they went to meet the guy's parent and explained everything that happened. They cried but nothing could be done.

The incidence happened on a Thursday and the following Monday, the guy didn't go to work. His wife was asking him why he wasn't going to work. He lied that he wasn't feeling fine.

After some hours, the parents came. The guy was in the bedroom when he got a sign that his parents are here to tell his wife what happened. They knocked the door and he told his wife to go and answer them.

At that time, the man had disappeared. The wife welcomed them warmly and was surprised to see her mother - in-law and others from the husband's workplace early that morning and with a sad face.

Mummy, what happened? Why are you all here? The wife was still shocked and then she said she is coming, she want to go and call her husband. The mother called her back and told her to sit down.

They had to explain everything and even showed her the picture of the incidence. Still shocked, she ran inside but couldn't find her husband. That was when it dawned on her that her husband only came to show his face to her before going.


I have always believed that people reincarnate and some children may come in form of someone who has died in the family.

Let's take for instance, a man who had lived a good life and suddenly death took him and at that time, someone in the family was pregnant then. The man would be reborn through the child and when he starts to behave, they will know it was the man who came to life through him.

And most times, if it is someone who wants to come and revenge of his or her death, they will be reborn and using the baby's image, they take revenge.

HER OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

My mom also told me this personal story of herself too. Her own grandmother died and because she was the one close to the grandma, she came to reveal herself to my mom.

She said she was inside this evening and suddenly the air was disturbing everywhere in the home. Her plates on the shelf were thrown down by the breeze. Curtains were dancing and the door was cracking. She didn't understand at first until the picture of her grandmother she hanged on the wall fell down and broke. Suddenly, she knew something has happened.

A call came in from her sister that grandma was dead. That was when she knew she came to reveal herself.

I also knew about this from her that when someone is dead, he or she would reveal him or herself to the one they are close to. Have you ever experienced this before?


My Dad's friend also confirmed this one-day that there was a small boy in his neighborhood. He likes this boy and took him as his son. The boy also calls him "Dad". The boy died and it pained this man

He was sitting outside one night when the boy appeared to him, it was only him that could see him that time. The boy held his hand and was telling my Dad's friend to come with him. Thank God he quickly snatched his hand from the boy's hand. If he had followed the boy, he would have been dead.

Things are happening and these are just the stories I can say for now. More stories my mom told me about but I remembered these particular ones.

I hope you enjoyed reading them?

Do you also believe in Reincarnation?

What can you say about them? I would want to learn from you in the comment section.

Thanks for Reading

There's a part of me that believes in reincarnation. I saw a Facebook post where it says that her dog who died just reincarnated as her baby. They believe that it was their first baby which is the dog because of the mark on his hand, and the baby also has the same mark on his hand.

Yes i believe in reincarnation, some says when someone died he will reincarnate either in a human form or reincarnate as animals or trees. I also wish my mom is still here with me, she didn’t tell me any story but i love talking with her back then.

You are right. They reincarnate into another form and one who is sensitive would know.

I do believe in reincarnation. My grandma also used to tell me stories about that. She said she dream of his father who was long ago dead. In her dream he was asked by his father to take his hand too but then Grandma remembered us and she told her father that she don't want to come since no one will take care of us. After that, grandma woke up and she realized everything was a dream. She also told us that if she took the hand of her father, she could have been dead.

Exactly. The dead wants to go along with those they love and we must not allow them because if we do, we are dead. Thank God your grandma didn't allow that.

I also heard several stories from friends and relatives but have not experienced any myself. It is quite intriguing but yes, these things happen.

One particular event I heard was from a friend who didn't know her grandmother passed away. But she smelled her granny's scent in their home but she didn't see her. Then she learned later in that day that her granny was gone in the morning.

I've never experienced something like this myself. But I've heard stories from close people. Who have been visited by a loved one, who recently passed away, in a kind of farewell. These things happen. But I don't believe in reincarnation. I believe that when we die, our soul passes to a different dimension. But doesn't return into the body of another person.

Yes, reincarnation doesn't mean the body will enter into another. It is still the same person but would either be seen among loved ones who didn't know they have died or they go to live in a far distance where no one would see them.

I always tell people that they shouldn't say something is not possible just because they haven't experienced it. Truth, I haven't experienced or seen these scenarios where a late person would appear to their loved ones until they disappear when they are about to be found out. I have read about it and watched it in movies but haven't been up close to any. I can imagine how devastated the wife would feel.

I pitied the wife then. You are right. In fact, I wouldn't believe from anyone but because my mom said it and I also heard similar stories too, I believe and I know many things happen especially with the Yoruba and Igbo People

Love reading this. I am skeptical about reincarnation as I have not known anybody being visited physically by a dead person. All I know is that when my father had an accident and was in ICU, my mom lights a candle for him. The candle light always died down every time she lights it. That is then she knows that my dad won't make it.

Reincarnation is an integral belief in most cultures in Africa. I'm not sure my people believe in it but I know the Yorubas and Igbos believe strongly in it. As for me, I'm kind of skeptical about it but the three stories you shared about it can't be ignored.

I have seen such a scenario in the Sabo market. The man sells the market and on this day a woman came to purchase her but on seeing the woman, the man disappeared.

The woman started screaming that that man is a ghost, he died in the east and came to settle down to have a family here in Lagos.

The thing is once the dead sees a living who knew they were dead before, they will go away because they know such person would reveal their identity. Then, they go to stay in another place

I have heard also about this kind of re-emerging of people. In the Yoruba oral tradition, people who reincarnated are said to die prematurely or when their supposed time is not due. A story have been told about a young man who died down south and reincarnated in the north, married and had children with his supposed wife. The other side of the story had it that, the day someone from down south who knows him notice him, he disappeared never to be seen again.

This kind of thing do happened and to be sincere, I believed them all. There was one that happened and up till now, his husband who has died years back is still sending him money and clothes. He has gone to settled somewhere and now missed his family who he once loved so much. So, after his death, he went to settle in a place no one knew about and all what he did was to be sending her money to cater for his children and herself.

There were stories like this that happened to other people but I haven't experienced it yet. I know my bestfriend told me something similar but for the love of me I can't recall the details. However, in our country it is a popular belief that when a butterfly comes to your house, a loved one who passed away came to pay a visit. It doesn't have to be inside the house, it could just be a butterfly that happen to pass by.

Really? A butterfly? I think most times, they associate animals or little creatures to people who have died and as a sign to let us be aware.

i can relate to this one since in the province, we have many beliefs when it comes to reincarnation. as in many. the stories your mom told you are similar to what my mom also told me especially when you accept the hands of someone who's dead.

Reincarnation happens everywhere and one needs to be careful especially with those we relate with. We might be communicating with the dead among the living and we won't know.
