A controversial tweet by X (formerly Twitter) user @john322226 has ignited conversation online after he shared a message suggesting a ritual involving a raw egg as a way to attract good fortune.
In the tweet, the user wrote: “Get a raw egg, round it above your head five times, say a good wish to start following you, stone it in a place lizards will eat it. Come back here and thank me in few weeks.”
The post quickly gained traction, triggering a wave of reactions that ranged from amusement and sarcasm to concern about promoting superstition online. While some users responded with laughing emojis and jokes, others questioned the intent and implications of encouraging ritualistic practices on a public platform.
Several commenters dismissed the tweet as satire or harmless banter, a common feature of Nigerian social media culture where humor, sarcasm, and exaggeration often blur with belief systems. Others, however, warned against normalizing unverified spiritual claims, especially in a digital space with young and impressionable audiences.
The viral moment has once again highlighted how quickly unconventional ideas can spread online and how social media continues to serve as a battleground between entertainment, belief, skepticism, and responsibility. As reactions continue to pour in, the tweet stands as another example of how a single post can spark nationwide conversation whether taken seriously or simply for laughs.
