Evil Or Dirty Nigerian Cultures That Should Be Abolished by PepERSprAY: 4:39pm On Oct 25, 2008 |
Can you name and describe some evil and dirty cultures found in any Nigerian tribe or Nigeria as a whole past and present that was evil or should be abolished if it is still in existence? |

Oro festival(Ondo): Human beings are beheaded and used to power that festival . It is barbaric and evil so, should be abolished in this century. Nigeria: many Nigerians are very arrogant and aggressive. They have I-am-better-or-smarter-than-you- attitude anywhere they go. It is one of the reasons why they are hated so much by many black people around the world. It's not possible to abolish this culture but i think we as nigerians can do something about our demeaning attitude towards others because it is annoying. |

Taking corpse home(Ibo): is it not a waste of money to fly someone that died in America to his hometown in iboland? the financial burden on the family of the deceased is too much and i don't know why ibos have not reconsidered that culture in this millenium. |

Re: Evil Or Dirty Nigerian Cultures That Should Be Abolished by omoge(f): 7:02pm On Oct 25, 2008 |
quite interesting abt that flew home thing. when soja die in iraq they are brought back home, that i can understand. but what abt if the person has been living oversea for many years? the person might have called that place home. pls explain. . . i'd prefer if the person has lots of money and they can afford to fly home. what happen if the family can not afford the flying home? borrow money from bank? if the person died at war say middle east, the body is brought back to UK or US then off to Nigeria? pls someone explain to me. culture i'd want to be abolish is the way we treat less privilege ones in our midst. it is all because of juju such and such happened to the person. we should do away with it. example, austic child or MR kid should not be seen as juju caused it. i wonder if Palin was to be in nigeria. . . she should have been hidding her baby. she is proudly carrying the baby around and am always touched, the one that is clued to my memory was when her small daughter held Trig and used her spit to flatten his hair, so cute I'm so proud of her and many americans how they treat the less privilege ones. |

Is this a culture in Nigeria? We take pity on less privileged and pamper them. |

Drinking bathwaterYes Circumcising womenYes Not when it's their choice. I am against it when it's done to children but adults can choose to do so like many Americans tattoo themselves.

Not only Igbo even Yoruba also.Rarely; It's a dominant ibo culture to fly home a corpse at the expense on the bereaved family members and i think they should do something about that culture. |
Re: Evil Or Dirty Nigerian Cultures That Should Be Abolished by PepERSprAY: 8:25pm On Oct 25, 2008 |
Hausa: Betrothing young girls to suitors by age 2. Hausa: Forcing a 10 yr old girl into marriage and conception thereby giving them fistula. Hausa: Drinking corpse water Hausa:Forcing their women to live perpetually in their basement and can only come out at night so that no other man can have access to them. |

Who are those "Ibo" people? But you are a blatant liar! Igbo people contribute money to repatriate their dead people and never on the bereaved's account. |

But you are a blatant liar! Igbo people contribute money to repatriate their dead people and never on the bereaved's account. I didn't know that but it's still pointless to me. Again, i guess they contribute for you because you contributed for others?. How much do you think it'll cost to fly a corpse from North Carolina to Nigeria? |
Re: Evil Or Dirty Nigerian Cultures That Should Be Abolished by omoge(f): 8:33pm On Oct 25, 2008 |
if the person has set aside money for 'fly him when death calls' fine. if not, i think it is not necessary. that money should go into edu fund for the kids. wherever a person dies, maggots still have their final say. 1 Like |

Gamine: they build in the village(where they don't stay). i think nigerian government should make every house owner pay huge council tax on their properties. that method will help reduce the madness in nigeria where one man can have 50 houses in the village and he only goes there once in a year. |

Nigeria: 1)Regarding male children as more valuable than female children 2)The belief that any woman 30 years and above is washed off and has little fertile eggs left. 3)Adult males belief that they are more superior to adult females. 4)Polygamy |

Igbos arent the only ones who fly corpses home. I think that's a Nigerian thing in general as in "I want to die in my land" kind of thing anyway osu needs to be banned. There are still people who wouldnt marry them because of the stigma Blaming wives for "lack of heir" Tribal marks, definitely Female circumcision, definitely Treating widows like lepers is another. |

Whats wrong in building house where you want, whether na village or lagosMake your money useful and build a house that you know you'll live in. If you have enough money to build both, fine but not building a house where you stay only 10 nights out of every 365 nights in a year. Bini's do that too. |
Re: Evil Or Dirty Nigerian Cultures That Should Be Abolished by omoge(f): 8:41pm On Oct 25, 2008 |
Gamine, i think nothing wrong. but how funny you live in a poor place but a fine place in the village is empty. like you and the 3 kids living in 1 bedroom and then labor to build a nice house in the village when you are not living there. i think it is a general thing and not peculiar with a tribe. the funny thing also is some of them will be afraid to live there in fear of immaginary winsh and wizard |
