Oath Taking And Thunderbolt, Is It Justified? by Nobody: 8:57am On Jul 28, 2015 |
Last night, I had a discussion with a male friend who justifies this. His arguments, ".....Babe I don't want my wife to cheat, so we must have either a blood covenant or ma gun(thunderbolt). ." He went on to state how many times his previous relationships" hit the rocks" because of infidelity.In a society where infidelity is prevalent, is it justified? I listened and watched him for hours as he argued with so much emotions. He says he will never cheat on his wife, and it will only be fair if he put "things" in place to prevent the wife from cheating as well. I am still in shock! I dont think I will see that nigger again. |

People who we claim to love should be free to make their choices. Doing anything that shows we do not trust our partners, or that we do not trust them enough never bodes well. That said, I chose my partner based on the belief that he is trust worthy, if he betrays that trust..... Well, I laugh in swahili Setting rules and boundaries have a way of piquing curiosity thereby availing room for temptations. Ask Adam and Eve of the garden of Eden. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Oath Taking And Thunderbolt, Is It Justified? by Nobody: 11:01am On Jul 28, 2015 |
Thunderbolt isn't a good preventative method but works well as a punitive measure for a whoreish wife, especially those that have been caught and warned to desist but still keep her sinful ways. Such women deserve to be bolted. An old man once told me a story of how one woman kept embarrassing her husband by openly sleeping with his friend and neighbor who despite several warnings still kept sleeping with her until thunderbolt struck. His family desperately sought an antidote while the certain people prevented the herbalists from providing it. The man eventually died a horrible death after suffering several days in horrible pain. #LessonLearnt. Don't fvck another man's wife no matter how bad she wants it. 2 Likes |

softysparky: I think it goes both ways. This is the second time I am hearing this from a guy, and both are very educated. Cheating is bad in marriage no doubt but wishing horrible death to a cheating partner is worst. |

EggovinMma:Not wishing but traditional/systematic assassination. Nothing happens to the woman, only the man who cheats with her dies. So she's still safe. Kinda.. Are you scared? |

[quote author=Brandnew2 post=36356417] Not wishing but traditional/systematic assassination. Nothing happens to the woman, only the man who cheats with her dies. So she's still safe. Kinda.. Are you scared? [/quo Yea, but I have seen cases where both died. The woman may just be parading herself as 'single', hence putting an innocent man on the deadly line. At the bolded, I am not scared.Been experience long enough to be unconditionally faithful to a very special person. I just find him irrational and that's a huge turn off. |

Personally, I wouldn't do such.
It's much easier getting a divorce or dump her if not yet married. Cheating is worth anyone's life. |

softysparky: Well, there are some areas that have this stuff. If the woman should cheat,she will die except she confesses. Another is if she cheats and the husband knows about this and continues to eat her food/sleep with her,the husband will also die. |
Re: Oath Taking And Thunderbolt, Is It Justified? by calculusx(m): 9:10am On Jul 29, 2015 |
Eyop: Yes you are right. It's practise in Kogi State till date and it happened to a family I know. They didn't go back to village ontime to appease to their GODs. Unfortunately both the husband and wife died on their way to village. There are exceptions though,especially when no dowry was paid on the bride. I couldn't believe such still happens sha |
Re: Oath Taking And Thunderbolt, Is It Justified? by Eyop: 9:23am On Jul 29, 2015 |
calculusx: It is even practiced in some areas of my state,some part of south east and I believe many other states in Nigeria. Any wayward lady won't be comfortable marrying from those region because they are not sure of themselves. It's their tradition and if they aren't comfortable with it,they shouldn't go in. It's more dangerous than magun because from the 1st day of marrying into that family,this tradition is activated. |

Eyop: Eyop: Eyop:Honestly to me I don't see it as a big deal as long as it's not selective and affects directly the person that cheated. I think we need stuffs like this to cage our wandering prick married men, they are too much these days. 1 Like |

softysparky: well like i said, if the man should cheat,it DOES NOT affect him but if it's the wife and the husband is aware & continues to eat her food/sleep with her,that's how it affects the husband. The problem here is the woman and not the man ooh |

Re: Oath Taking And Thunderbolt, Is It Justified? by Eyop: 10:43am On Jul 29, 2015 |
softysparky: I understand sha but that's the tradition and there's nothing anyone can do to change that. Me i won't cheat when married and if the woman in question does not cheat,then we won't have a problem. So many men have died like chickens because of this because the painful part is in the case of the man knowing and she continues to eat her food,he will be the one to die and the woman might escape it. Some even affect the children too i.e they will start falling sick until the issue is resolved traditionally. |

Eyop: What baffles me in such traditional practise is,husbands are free to cheat while wives are not allowed to. I think the equation should be balanced, nobody should cheat, who ever cheats should face the consequence alone. |
Re: Oath Taking And Thunderbolt, Is It Justified? by Eyop: 1:06pm On Jul 29, 2015 |
calculusx: Yes sir. I asked a lot of Elders about this and their excuse is that men are polygamous in nature and it shouldn't affect them. I have never heard it anywhere that if the men should cheat on their wives,that this traditional repercussion would come into play but it has always been the women but will only affect the man if he knows about this but still continue to live with her like husband and wife. It's only God that can deal with a cheating husband naturally but not through this medium. |

Eyop: Odikwa serious . But, looking as far back as those days, how did all these practices come into play, how was it started, who pronounced such on generations upon generations? Just wondering. Did you know wherever the couple might be on the face of the earth, they need to go back to Village to appease their Gods. |
