Opiosko: Hahaha! D Chimaji... It's bn a while, hw tins?

chimajii:

Lol, I dey oooooooo, what of you?

kobonaire: yes, as a kid I actually always wanted a goat as a pet. Now that I see you, I finally understand why my wish was not granted.

AriDsexy:
Just kidding

joanpinkie:

My dear , in as much as i love some of the European things i cant really relate with this ankle chain. If you want to go all european you can easily do that without mixing up cultures. African wear beads and not chain and these beads are won by people with titlles or from royal family. So please do not in any way try to compare wearing of ankle chains with our traditional beads. Every art has a story behind it. It might look beautiful but with a sad story. Thats why dont just pick up a beautiful flower and start eating it might be very poisonous. Ankle chain since my secondary school day has a history of lesbienism attached to it. If you think everything is fashion go and put on an army comourflage and bear the consequences of having the soldiers beat you up to a stupor . You dont wear wear bikini while walking down the street because people do that in Maimi.So dont be offended when someone call you a lesbien or a pros when u insist on going on with your fashion. Remember a person who attends the meeting of the rogues will be called a rogue. Do in Rome as Romans do . And not Do in Nigeria as Romans.different cultures have different interpretation of a particular behavior.

peppyluv02: Lol you no well..
Yea I do.no jokes

MissMeiya: So I woke up this morning to a bunch of mentions, even more likes, and a handful of new followers. The latter didn't surprise me, because I know what I said yesterday. The mentions in the other hand:

I don't have time to reply to the three of you individually. You know who you are. Moneyhungry, Dreyl and what's the third one. It's Monday morning, in case you're so jobless, you hadn't realized. People with lives are waking up with thoughts of school and work. But you three, still smarting from the evisceration I handed you last night, were dreaming of what to type on nairaland, abi? I can't even conceive of the emptiness that makes up your lives. Oh my god, lol. Apparently I'm now a tranny. Moneyhungry, you couldn't come up with that yesterday? It took you all night to come up with that? And that's all you could come up with? To the other two, I don't even remember what you wrote, and I find myself so... bored with the idea of going back to check. Man. Just shaking my head. I'm sure you three will remember me next week, and I'm already forgetting you right now. Just wanted to impress upon you sorry souls how little you mean to anyone. Perhaps you can form a club and console each other. That might make you feel better. You can think of more stories. Hopefully more credible ones. I know if the three of you put your heads together you can do better. You don't need to carry last, even for painment. Try, ok?

It's time for me to carry on with my life, so I have to leave you here on NL. Thinking of a response, as usual.

AfricanApple: I usually see some girls wear ankle chain and I kinda admire it sometimes as I see it as fashion. but I was told its worn by prostitutes, that its what they use to identify themselves. how true is this besides how do you view girls who wear it.

for those I've seen who wears it, most of them are decent girls, so how come

AfricanApple: I don't see it as a big deal too. pple wear earrings and prostitutes wear as well
but its better not to wear it than for people to see u and conclude u are a prostitute. I wonder where they get that assumptions from that those who wears it are pros.

MadCow1: [b]In 2014... A Nigerian believes that a woman who wears an Anklet and a Waist chain is a Hoe..
charity they say begins at home. If you say it is an African Tradition tin, you did not tell us that your mum nd sisters wear it too.so what are you saying?









This nation is truly filled with reetarded individuals sha..

How did something that is in every way, shape and form an original African Tradition now a Taboo?!

Traditionally worn by African women, waist beads have several different meanings. Ranging from rites of passage, to enticing your husband to healing and rejuvenation, to weight watching/control, to even just plain ornament. The art of adorning ones self has been practiced since the beginning of time.

In Egypt, waist beads were called “girdles”. All the women wore them and it was a uniform for pre-pubescent girls with out any sexual connotation. But usually servants or dancers wore them and are shown in wall relief’s wearing them and nothing else!

In West Africa, waist beads have several names.; Jel-Jelli, Jigeda, Giri-Giri, Djalay Djalay or Yomba. They’re always worn under clothes. In Ghana women knew that waist beads helped form their body into a particular shape and adult women wear beads to sexually stimulate the male. In other parts of West Africa, women would wear waist beads with bells on them, and when they walked it would make a jingling noise. Dipping them in oil scented the beads.

When you add stones, waist beads take on healing qualities. Depending on ailment or what needs to be enhanced (i.e. love, physic powers, balancing), various semi-precious stones can be included in the design of your waist beads.




The one reason why anybody would consider these beads and anklets to be associated which prostitution is becase they are actually very sexually exciting to look at for men. I for one always lose my mind at the sight of a waist bead.. That shiit is sexy as fhuck on an African woman. My Ghana vixens from way back used to always wear them.. Lord knows I have broken alot of waistbeads in my life..

Please you folks need to grow out of this fhucking archaic and reetarded form of reasoning.. You cant keep twisting shiit to mean what you want. African Tradition has always incorporated waist beads, anklets, bracelets and neck laces...

Fostercat: charity they say begins at home. If you say it is an African Tradition tin, you did not tell us that your mum nd sisters wear it too.so what are you saying?

MadCow1:



[b]You have to reference my mum and sister to make your point...


Let me take it to a place beyond your reach.. My wife wears one because I asked her too.. My Sisters wear anklets and some wear waist beads as well. My Grandmother (God rest her soul) wore one. In many traditional outfits in Nigeria, the waist bead is a part of it;



Look at these AFRICAN Women and spot the Hoe amongst them..

Feel free to refer to all those women as Hoes..



You need to learn to debate without getting personal young keemosabe. Attack the points not the person, thats how a mature person debates. So with the exception of my mother (who I believe may or may not have worn one as a youngin, my sisters do wear anklets (all of them) and some wear waist beads.. And NO, they are not prostitutes. 1 is a Graduate in Engineering and works overseas and the other is in school in Canada studying Electrical Engineering as well. Hope you are satisfied[/b]

AfricanApple: have u ever seen Mami water worshippers?

Fostercat:
You make me laugh.
These are ceremonial wears. We talking about day to day stuffs
Meanwhile chains are different from beads . lol
see the subject of the thread

Ceremonial wears indeed..

There is no rule anywhere that has associated anklets or waist beads with promiscuity or prostitution..

Chains are the more expensive version of beads.. Virtually ever chain jewellry has a bead version. African women have always been associated with beads.


Same applies to anklets..


These have and still have their roots in Africa. Till tomorrow, Igbo women

Visit this page and see pictures of the Hamer Tribe of ethiopia that have not been corrupted by western civilization and religion and see how their women dress with beads from head to toe..

talima: we copy wot we know nothing or little about. Ankle chain and ring on d small finger is originated from the UK as means of identifying a commercial sex worker(prostitute). Just like saggin originates from American prison.

AfricanApple: yoga, your history about where ankle chain comes from is fake. go and read about it again

herald9:
So you wear angle chains...don't you?

AfricanApple: nope, I do not wear angle chain.

eh o! which day u become f

herald9:

moneyhungry:
bullsh!t, I said the truth and its all there on your profile (I hope you don't delete it soon).
we say NO to trannies and homos.

AfricanApple: how can u know that when u have never seen ma legs

lertee: It is part of fashion,you should wear whatever you are comfortable in,there's no biggie in wearing ankle chain.
It is always the same misconception over ladies that wear waist chain too,you don't have to judge ladies by these accessories.

iluvpomo: he goat like you, after dem don yab you finish especially here you still de open mouth for this thread.
