Ebonyi peeps just don't want to get civilised like the other Igbos.

The few " so called educated ones" are noise makers.




The drama was very unnecessary.

That's why they generally misbehave everywhere they go. They do not know any better.

wat a stupid country we are,.

What a humiliation for the widow.
She needs help, she should leave the village and move to a city to change environment.
If not, the thought of the humiliation may affect her negatively healthwise.

What kind of backwater nonsense is this? All those people that were parading her, let's look at the skeletons in their closets...

Very babaric and archaic. Such 17th century primitive act can happen only in igboland. And the so-called village elders who should know better are even worse by demanding a goat. Hungry people.
Elders indeed.

Hypocrites & small minds:If it was a widower caught doing the same thing would the parade him naked?
Husband is dead it's not like she is cheating on him. Matrimonial bed? Former matrimonial bed her status is that of widow.
She has needs.

I didn't know they made you their official spokesperson. Apparently, some of us lost our invitation during the noise making.

You can say that again.

This clearly brings to the fore the story of the adulterous woman in the Bible.

Jesus looked at them, then bent down and wrote
" He without sin, let him cast the first stone"....... They all disappeared!
We don't just learn.... Condemnable act, yes! But are we to judge?? Not that we are better off

D grand daughter shud b flog.
Jesus Christ bears all d condemnation, no man deserve it agen.
Shaa!

Sence fall on dem

Here's the latest update on the 70-year-old widow who was paraded and banished from her Afikpo native for sleeping with her boyfriend on her matrimonial bed. The widow identified as one Mrs Maria Okoh who hails from Amauzzu Nkpoghoro village in Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State was on Tuesday, July 18, banished from the community over alleged sex scandal.

The accused was also paraded in the market shortly after being caught by her grand daughter having sex with her younger lover on her late husband’s bed.

Read the update Mrs Maria Udu Nwachi, a member representing Afikpo North East in the Ebonyi State House of Assembly

Parading of people unacceptable - Essa Ehugbo.

The member representing Afikpo North East in the Ebonyi State House of Assembly, Mrs Maria Udu Nwachi (Afikpo Chic), on the 22nd July 2017, complained to Essa Traditional Council of Ehugho, the highest decision making body in Ehugbo (Afikpo), about a 70 year old widow, accused of sleeping with a man in her late husband’s home at Amuzu Nkpogoro, Afikpo, and paraded with the man round the villages; with youths chanting disgraceful songs behind them, thereby creating a scene which attracted condemnation from several quarters, describing such as obnoxious, uncivilized, and other adjectives.

Following the report, the Ekpuke Essa Traditional ruling body on 26 July 2017 at Ulubi Eke Ehugbo deliberated on the matter and stated that the normal thing as Ehugbo tradition demands is that the culprit is liable to atone her misdeed with a goat. The above process, the Essa said is the tradition and not the dehumanising act of parading the culprit. They also advised widows cannot hold themselves, they should re- marry or alternatively pack out from their late husband house.

[i]THE VERDICT IS: No community should parade anyone again and if they ever do, they would be fined N100,000 and another fine of N5000 will be given again to every one in the community who allowed such act. They stated the act of the said community is not acceptable. They frowned at the bad public image the incident gave the town of Afikpo.

PHOTO: On the 22nd of July 2017, when Essa Ehugbo paid me a visit. I tabled up the matter above to them; so they can deliberate on it and give us an official pronouncement on it. Their official stance above will forestall such event from taking place in the future.

Dear media house that contacted me for statement on the matter, I am sorry that I could not make any statement concerning the issue until I consult my people and ascertain the facts and the way forward. And here you have it. The highest ruling body in my land has spoken, and it's final. - Nwanyi Afikpo

70 year old woman with lover... Ebony people I hail una oo.

modelmike7:
Parading them in the market place is simply dehumanising, barbaric, archaic and uncalled for. She is a widow......
So according to the culture, her normal price to atone with is a goat (e be like say goat meat pepper-soup don dey hungry d elders of the village!)
But atleast that would have been better than the public disgrace!

Not surprising people from the SE/ SS are not civilized, why do you think kanu is able to get to them?

on d contrary i think its a crime (a moral one) it not a good thing to have sex with a wrong person at d wrongest place for that mata and to be seen by d wrongst pernson. ur own grandchild....at 70 haba...what a mentor for d grandchildrn and d younga generatn

You do not understand the system of government of Afikpo people. I would have enlightened you but no time

Maybe the granddaughter was eyeing the man too, or the man get special package and she has benefitted from it before and was too jealous to share, bottom line women are enemies to themselves, besides that grandma looks 50.

Nigerian misogyny is second to none
Husband that died 30 years ago?
Tufiakwa

She should pack out of the house she spent her life time building before a wido8can date...
African culture is so misogynistic. God forbid

Pls don't compare this woman to the adulterous woman in the bible!
This woman did absolutely NOTHING WRONG!!

I'm trying to imagine what my dear brothers and sisters from the East would be typing and posting on nairaland by now if this had happened in the North. You would have seen different names calling by now. Shame.

Holuwahyomzzy:

A young able-bodied young man with more than the required 6 packs for that matter, he's got 8 packs!!

I'm just imagining 8-packs guy on a seventy-year old widow.

But wait oh, before we go ahead to judge the Ibo's and the Ebonyi people, are we now saying bad thing has become a good thing. Pls for God's sake let us not legalize sin and paint it white. They both sinned against God and man - the land, so they needed to be punished in one way or the other, not necessarily parading anyway but to let others desist from it. For the grand daughter to see that and go and report means she knows it is a bad thing. That she is a widow does not give her license to do that unless they are legally married which obvious they are not. Some of you made reference to the adulterous woman in the bible. Taking the woman to Jesus, you think it wasn't shameful for the woman. Didn't they walk through the roads and market square. Jesus did not clap for her or encouraged her. He forgave her SIN and told her to go and sin no more. Pls let's call a spade a spade and stop supporting evil. Remember God is watching- even our internet postings.
