Don't know hw true this is, in Yoruba land. A male concubine must never die in his female concubine house especially if she is married to another man. As in a man servicing the wife of another man in the house of the real husband and he dies there. His corpse must be thrown out from the window to avoid mysterious death in that male concubine lineage. |

cirmuell: wow...yeah I kinda agree with your last sentence. But people still belief and keep to some of these stuffs though especially in Yorubaland. Same here. Some igbo land have abolished OSU(OUTCAST) yet some families don't like giving out their female children to an OSU man or a man Marrying an OSU woman. In my town I heard it has been abolished but with the way people isolate themselves from them one will think that they have EBOLA. Every other taboo may be abolished in igbo land including the osu but this OSU is something that people can't just let go because of the stigma that comes with it. In my village if a man is coming to ask for your hand in marriage your family will make sure that they get a very good information concerning the man's family especially if the man's name(surname) is NWOSU or NWAGBARA , the man's family will also make enquiries about your own family. Nobody wants to live in isolation after the marriage. 1 Like |

Jennydoris:yeah that's true. They do some digging about families too over here, though there's nothing like the Osu stigmatization...just to make sure both party come from a good family. And even this is being relegated now, as people just do brief introduction an go ahead with their wedding. |

Point of correction: Point number 4 , The TRANSLATION of 'OKETE' in English is RABBIT and NOT Grasscutter. |

biafranqueen: You have done well! "I remember hearing if a man see's his wife's private part while giving birth he will go blind at an early age." . This is my first time of hearing this one. Nawa for some traditions shaa. As for committing a suicide, in my place if the person is a pagan then his/her pagan family and friends will be the ones to bury him/her. But if he/she is a christian there are certain things that the christian families will deny the deceased person, but now if a christian commits a suicide they will give the person his or her full funeral rites but the burial ceremony must not exceed a day or two and the person must be buried before his or her funeral day. 1 Like |
