Does eating eggs make a child grow up to become a thief?

In many Ghanaian homes, children have long been warned against eating eggs because of the belief that it could make them grow up to steal. But is there any truth to this claim?

In Ghanaian parlance, “toli” refers to a lie, myth, or deceptive story often repeated until it is believed to be true.

In our new series, Toli, we examine widely held beliefs in Ghanaian society and test them against research and expert insights, separating fact from fiction. #Toli #DebunkingMyths
