BF Skinner's experiment was about behaviourism and conditioning not superstition. What about Pavlov's experiments? Don't try to twist these research to legitimize your belief in these unfounded superstitions. Science is science and superstition is superstition.

Pavlov's experiment was classical conditioning whereas Skinner's own was operant conditioning. Skinner also did an experiment on Pigeon's to prove animals could be superstitious. Thanks.

For your information, Charismatics have always believed in the power of Satan, we have never denied his power.
But our strongest believe is that, JESUS IS MIGHTIER.

Nana Yaw Osei has touched on a very important developmental question, with a look into some aspects of history.
We found the Neal story (new to us) about the tree at the Akosombo site particularly enlightening for the history and the triumph of reason and science, buttressed by technology.
Back in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, before the environmental had a strong footing, when "science was king", quite a lot of original vegetation was removed. These days, in well ordered societies, vegetation is not removed unless it must. If there are large trees in the approach/departure path of aircraft flight, or in a ship channel, smart officials will approve removal for safety reason, reverently. And so, today, Man has learned to build around/construct around, if that is possible. If latter day knowledge and cognition about the environment had been around during the construction of Akosombo, the Kwame Nkrumah government most likely may have moderated the removals, both vegetation and Man.
Padigo says that "Superstition exists in almost all religions but African superstitions are regarded as useless." Our take is, "Superstition" and "Mystical Powers" are all forms of religious beliefs. But, it is the African forms, that are usually characterized as "useless", INFERIOR. This demonstrates that under-girding religion is POWER, who will control what/whom. As someone once said, "Superstition is what the other guy believes”.
One of the larger, but less cited lessons and benefits of the environmental movement is the reverential approach to nature. Today, we want to protect nature, trees, lakes, waterfalls, "sacred groves", etc., because their preservation have tremendous quantifiable (not merely article of faith) benefits to humans, many years after current generation is all gone from the face of the earth, even.
Again, Kintampo happened because of a failure of governance at the national level.
Thanks to Nana Yaw Osei.

But for money and influence over followers, how many pastor and reverend will you find today? the Jesus message is turned to stock in trade, people listen for comfort but not follow or obey its leads. there is no single christian today, not even the pope by standards of Christianity set by Jesus to his followers. Get it. Most of the the Bible is simply the history a narration of the tradition and culture practised by the people of Israel which is worthy of emulating but not necessary the 'game changer.' God gave each people a tradition to follow by which He, 'Oboor-ade3' would be known or relate to them better. Those who neglect their tradition to follow others only risk getting lost in the middle of nowhere.

Good education throughout Africa would put an end to the rampant superstitious beliefs that exist on the continent.
The "king of Kintampo", J. H. Neal, & Nana Yaw Osei himself didn't receive a well grounded education, including scientific education to understand & appreciate exoteric phenomena such as severe weather.
Understanding meteriology wouldn't have led the chief of Kintampo to say what he said, or for Padigo to write this article.

Boakye, are you aware that meteorologists at times fail? If you are well educated as you claim you would have known that science cannot answer everything.

Many Africans educated in a western Style system will 90% of the time dismiss incidents of disrespect of traditional Beliefs as superstition. When such ignorance results in lose of life or severe bodily trauma, it is kept a secret. Those of you Educated africans out there, with your pro christian disdain for our way will feel the horrid consequences of your disrespect and end up drowning and burnt for your FOOLISHNESS.

Superstition, (a cousin of ignorance), and corruption are two of the heaviest chains around the necks of far too many Ghanaians. Funny how so many intelligent men and women allow quackery to keep them peddling backwards.
