How My Village Cow Culture Killed My Two Uncles by Ivegotsolutions(m): 9:24pm On May 07, 2016
Please if you are from Mbaise in Imo state, ask your parents to reveal your culture, tradition and history before is too late. I got to know my uncle in 2008 when i just relocated to Lagos from Abia state. I was called by a friend for a job offer in Lagos, i needed a place to stay in Lagos before the job will be given to me. My Dad arranged with this my uncle to acomodate me. When i met this man, i was very happy at how his entire family received me. In 2014, my uncle relocated back to my village with his family. Two weeks back, i got a call from him and he requested i should send him some cash to enable him see a medical doctor. He told me that he was having a contineus hiccup. I managed to transfer some cash to him, and he was very grateful. To my surprice, my dad just called to inform me that my uncle and his elder brother just died. I was very shock and divastated with the news. Few days later, the third brother to this my uncle was about dying from the same strange hiccup. After some enquiries and consultations, some elders revealed that 36 years back, my unlce's dad died and they were supposed to burry him by slaughtering a cow but they could'nt because of their financial stand back then. They made a promise to slaughter the cow when they grow up, a promise they forgot to fulfil. The tradition is that until they slaughter a cow for their dad, they will never taste a cow meat when they attend any burial ceremony in my village. Some how they had a taste of a cow meat in one of the burial they attended and the result is death. This tradgedy can only occour when a wicked old man who inderstand the history and tradition triggers the clause. For instance, if an old man who understand the culture report you to the gods by performing a libation to the gods and reminding them that you had a taste of the meat without slaughtering to your late dad. The demons incharge of this tradition will kill such person. RIp to my uncle! He was burried today. I still wonder why we continue to practice this tradition irespective of the growth of christianity in the land. Please know the culture and the traditions of your land to enable you avoid rubbish tradgedy. Admin please push to the front page for all the learn

Sorry for your loss OP. OP
Now People, open your ears and listen..........
1-Every human being has God spirit in them
2- We are made up of Spirit, Soul and body
3- spirit is God, soul is man body is the form through which the spirit or soul works
4- A person should strive to let the spirit rule and lead the body.
5- The soul should be subjected to the will of the spirit
6- When the spirit takes charge, No juju will ever I repeat ever get such a man.

The only hurdle for us human is allowing the spirit to guide our bodies and bow our souls to the will of the spirit. Anyone who can achieve this has the power to overcome evil plans

My bro i am very very interested in this matter, it came to my knowledge at the death of my beloved father when an old man who loved him advised us to kill the burial goats to avert tragedies in the future. My research into the issue unearthed terrifying facts and stories. It appears being a staunch christian does not stop the evil once unleashed. I really want to know if there is a way to avert this tragedies without giving them any cow or goat.

Secondly is it possible i announce in my life time that my children do no such thing for me at my demise, would such declaration have any efficacy or spiritual cover over my sons?.

Please those vast in this issues in our culture should shed some light. We should also ask questions from elders too.
Thank you

Is a tradition your Dad believed in and all required should be done on his behalf. But for you, let your entire community know that you are now a born again and you are not part of the tradition if its to extend to you.
