So, every January when the mango tree in my compound begins to germinate, its fruits will be falling off once there’s little breeze. We don’t even know what to do because, every morning we see mango seeds littered under the tree in their hundreds.
So one early morning our neighbour came to collect shovel from my house and saw litters of mango seeds everywhere and shouted. Asking how we should let this goodness waste for nothing. I told him I don’t even know what to do. He left immediately and came back with ” OMU ” ( I don’t know the English name) and tied it round the tree and the next morning we didn’t see even one mango seed on the floor.
This January again, the seeds started falling off and I called my neighbour severally before he finally came with OMU yesterday and tied it. This morning, no mango seed was seen on the floor.
THIS IS A MYSTERY I AM YET TO UNDERSTAND.
The video below shows little of the seeds that fell as we have swept the compound yesterday morning before he tied the OMU .
Meanwhile, he does this for us every January since after the first time he tied it.

I think such things happen. I’m assuming they prevent the spirits from plucking the mangoes.

There’s no way I can believe there’s something somewhere that can be done to stop a ripen mango from falling. Not today not any other day will I believe.
