OBIORAA: One I also experience is in idemili in Anambra state. Where it is not allowed to kill pythons. If you do you will burry the python as you will burry a title holder.Its true o,I don't know why? Its very strange and some of them can be very dirty eh. |

[quote author=PAGAN9JA][/quote] I beg to defer. Any normal n sane person will use tissue n after if he or she wants, the person can go n bath. Plz i dnt want us to start arguing who is right or wrong cos it will derail d title of the thread. thanks |

hugelyendowed: mynd44, obinoscopy, pls who are the moderators of this session? I think this is an interesting topic that needs front page, thanks.its in Tiv land (benue state) in the olden days that offering ones wife/wives to a male visitor was prevalent. It was a welcome gesture. In Nembe, Brass, Okpo Ama and neighbouring islands of bayelsa and rivers states, when a snake (water or land python) is killed you will bury it like a normal human being and perform some rituals to appease their deity. 1 Like |

nikkypearl: Mine was the first time I saw a Calabar friend eating what she called "Yam Pepper Soup"it is common in some parts of Igbo land, and the south-south areas. There is plantain pepper soup and its a delicacy in some parts of delta state. The igbo's (Abia and Imo) call it Ji mmiri Oku. The Ukwuani people (delta state) call it Otto. The Urhobo/Isoko's (delta state) call it Ukodo or so. 1 Like |

PAGAN9JA: Yuck! I think the whole point of bathing is cleansing your entire body with a good soap and water. No part of the body goes untouched. 1 Like |

deebee13: Born and bred in d north, kano state to be precise, i got my first culture shock in Edo state where i served. I saw women selling meat, riding okada... these were strange tins to see cos de were male territories here in kano. And worse of all was how d young girls dressed, it was so bad dat i cover my eyes in embarrasment sometimes!you also didn't realise that there were many landladies in edo state? I know you closed your eyes with your palms and left a peeping hole! |

aminho: * The one I experienced today as I travelled from East to North, we got to outskirt of Kaduna, I saw one guy bend down, I was wondering what he was doing , I felt he was defecating, but I was wrong, he was urinating bending down like women. I saw another boy do same. I called my would be host to narrate what I saw and I was told it's their way. I have never seen such before. It was a culture shock to me.you're more likely to soil urself stooping low to pee. sides mallams that smell like the devil stoop to pee. ain't nothing to do with cleanliness |

Gboliwe:I think there is a town in anambra dat banned 'immoral dressing'. As a married woman, ur wrapper shuld be ur closest frnd n young ladies dnt wear trousers,shorts n co dat are expository. Failure to comply attracts punishments ranging frm beatin to fine. |

Since I have been almost all over the place, I've been shocked once or twice In Naples, Italy I saw gypsy woman pinch a baby she was holding to make it cry while she begged for money so passers bye would feel sorry. Come to find out, they exchange babies while on begging shifts. It is normal to slap each other in Italia. In USA, university students talk to professors whichever way they like. They do not address them with respect or reverence. K-12 students are rude to teachers and adults. Some Americans marry cousins too Some Americans and Canadians are very backwards and live like the olden days - aka Amish Russians, Ukrainians, and others from former USSR wash their bumbums too Germans are very stingy and cheap. Went over to friend's house for dinner in Germany and her mom offered tea then asked if I was sure I wanted some. She asked if i was sure about everything she served so many times i excused myself and left. I was so embarrassed lol. In Austria, wedding tradition includes the bride showing she can do a man's job and a groom shows he can do a woman's job. I saw a bride cut down a tree with a saw and ax and her groom sowing and mending clothes . Personal space in America and Canada very distant unlike many other cultures. In family homes, Arabs eat rice dishes with their hands. Nothing like everyone sitting around a large tray of their kind of pilaf and everyone digging in neatly from their sides.
