Omo to daa!

This one na research topic o!

The real name in Yoruba is A.f.o.s.e. Literally translated, it means to say something and force it to come true.

It is believed by some that you can influence other people and render the brains temporarily deficient of proper reasoning abilities by putting A.f.o.s.e in your mouth and speaking to them.

Whether it is true or not, I really do not know (I want to believe it's never been used against me!), but generally it is believed by some that you can use it to obtain favour from other people, command other people to be at your whims, or render other equally "A.fo.s.e-istic" tendencies powerless against you.
