Africa is bound by so many outdated superstitions and other issues considered taboo. Nothing is seen in these superstitions and traditions they keep on holding from their ancestors other than poverty that has engulfed the whole continent.


Madagascar is one of the most superstitious countries off the coast of Africa. They believe that twins bring bad luck to the community, and to this day still hold this primitive ideology and philosophy about twins.
