It could sound primitive, but it is real especially among
the black Africa and Yoruba race. Some children over
time reborn to the same mother with the previous look,
sex, complexion and structure. Owing to ephemeral
nature of Abiku life, Abiku completes several
consecutive life-cycles with one mother. In some reality
cases, the Yorubas, in one of their traditional ways of
deterring Abiku from death after reborn defaced such
children either by cutting their finger, ear or a deep
mark in the face or back. To a greater surprises in most
cases, the Abiku on reborn would have those marks
whether in the face or back.

The Yorubas’ also called Abiku some pleading-names
like; Duro-Orike, Durosinmi, Durojaiye, Igbokoyi,
Jokotimi, Malomo, kosoko, etc to plead with them not to
die again and to say with their parents.
It is believed that Abiku turns down the fortune of their
parents and their great joy is to see their mother crying
when they died severally because the tears running out
of their mother’s face is valuable in the spirit of Abiku
.
Abiku time in human life is always short and their
death mostly occurs at the time of their joy like
marriage, graduation etc.
Emere and Abiku are the kind of children according to
the Yorubas’ belief who makes a certain pledge
concerning its life duration with its mates. At the
expiration of the time, he/she died and re-unites with
its mates. Some oral tradition also confirmed that some
Emere among them must have married one of its
mates and probably bore children over there. In coming
to the human world, the Emere could find it difficult to
get married and bear children.
Research shown that if such person is eventually
married and conceived pregnant, somebody who refers
to as spiritual husband (Oko Orun) will have sexual
intercourse with the person in the dream and this will
result to miscarriage. This remains one of the factors
responsible for barrenness among women according to
Yoruba tradition and the solution to it is the proper
spiritual consultation.

The Emere and Abiku if eventually cannot go back to its
mates may be because of some spiritual appease made
by its parents, believed to be having problems because
its mates will not be happy for the broken of the re-
unification promises he made with them. The problems
such person usually faced is the misplacing or total lost
of any items in its possession especially money. The
solution to that is for the person to offer sacrifice
inform of food (Ounje Egbe) to stop such problems.

Research has also shown that the Abiku and Emere are
very attractive because of their beauty and they loves
to live very close to water or coastal areas. They are the
agents of devil according to some thoughts and
convictions, but some believes that they are good to be
with because they will affect anybody they loves with
blessing endowed on them spiritually.
The Yoruba tradition affirmed that the Emere and Abiku
spirit roaming around some areas like the side of the
road, corner in the cities and villages, foot path in
suburban area, jungle, inside trees like Iroko tree etc,
and all these places are forbidden for pregnant women
to go to. The Yoruba belief was that if pregnant woman
go to such areas, the spirit of the Emere or Abiku can
follow the woman to her home and she will eventually
give birth to a child with either Abiku or Emere spirits.

In preventing such incidence, pregnant women
according to the Yoruba tradition are advised to attach
either a needle or a small white stone to the edge of
their clothes. The Emere and Abiku would not be able
to follow the woman because those things are signs
which against them.
Aside this, the pregnant women according to the
Yoruba tradition are not advised to stay alone in a
hidden and dark places. They should also desist from
going to T junction at noon. They are also forbidden to
go out at the late hour in the night and they should
desist from going to coastal areas and dumping sites.

Although, this could be unacceptable in science
because it is metaphysical issue in which science is
incapacitated to accept or refuse. It is completely out of
scientific realm.
This is not to discredit science because science has
made some irrevocable contribution to improve child
mortality rate to the extent that the concept of Abiku
and Emere has almost gone extinct. But the fact is that
there are still cases of children death without any signs
of sickness. Whenever such incident happens or
happened frequently, the black Africa and Yorubas
belief was that such child is either Abiku or Emere and
the solution to it is to trail spiritual dimension.

Abikus are actually children who are born SS or other genetically sickness carried by their parents. The child which is probably born SS will die and they try another one which they might not get right until they get one which is AS or AS

for the Emere, those are just unfortunate kids who are born slow and are hated, hatred turned to fear as people attached too much significance to it.
