Your Most Cherished Nigerian Culture. by earTHMama: 10:24pm On Dec 21, 2008
What aspect of Nigerian culture do you love most? Can you name the culture whether it's in your tribe or not?. The food, festivals, attire, dialect, accent etc.

respect for elders.living in this country has really made me cherish that part of our culture.(and i mean respect not fear of elders as fearing elders is different from respecting them).the kids in this country are so rude and ill mannered.

hausa marriage cry
Re: Your Most Cherished Nigerian Culture. by earTHMama: 6:45pm On Dec 22, 2008
hausa marriage

I don't know what's lovely about 12 year old girls getting married. That is a very nasty culture and should be obliterated by every possible means.

I think they mean the beating of the husband, Funmi

I think it's a Tiv thing and not hausa. No hausa man can endure that pain.
Re: Your Most Cherished Nigerian Culture. by Hauwa1: 7:03pm On Dec 22, 2008
how abt the old women doing the oriki (what do they call the thing with the tongue sef like a song) i forgot but i can do it with my tongue.

hausa wedding is fascinating to watch as long as it is not a little girl. i have seen a little girl's wedding. we were all there to sing and cheer her up. she was crying like crazy and they had to carry her with force. when they finally get her to the man's house, she was all covered only a few closed friends could see her. i was her friend too  angry i asked her to run away in little girl's mind but too late. so i went to the wedding. her gift plenty sha many zani, dankwali, jabaki, tero, powder, materials so much. interesting to watch and could make you cry.

I love mmanwu(masqurade). I also love igbo traditional marriage(igba nkwu nwanyi). Especially where the girls lock up the fiance and demand the money from the in laws to unlock the door so she can come and see her husband. Women can be mean in that area.

i guess that's the only fun part because you can't hear the wailing and crying grin only the old women tongues which overpower the little girls voice sad

Is stripping and lap dancing a Nigerian culture?

The qualifier in bold is troubling. Finally, someone is accepting the truth. Praise God. undecided

Re: Your Most Cherished Nigerian Culture. by 4Play(m): 2:28am On Dec 23, 2008
Heard about pulling a baby girl's nipples so she will grow big breasts as an adult? Not something I made up, heard this in Enugu a few years ago. . . .sounds like a pedo's dream excuse.
Re: Your Most Cherished Nigerian Culture. by Hauwa1: 2:29am On Dec 23, 2008
the baby's.

a little rubbing movement. i heard then it helps to widen it. it is like women do to other parts of the body when a baby is born.
