You were not making a point rather you are in no way different.
I'm Yoruba myself, if he doesn't like Amala, do you intend on forcing it down his throat?

Yoruba person that has never tasted amala, never experienced the soft yet firm feel of Iyan in his/her hands,



is that one Yoruba

lovelygurl:


Why would I? This is about how he felt. He unlike you didn't lie about sth. He simply stated his feelings. I am definitely sure you won't be able to eat some info foods too. Stop being ridiculous and childish

THE IBO HEREDITARY SYSTEM

what is the worth of a woman : in ibo tradition, an unmarried woman has no right in her fathers property. not even a say.

even when married and she never give birth to a male child she will not be allowed to inherit her husband property.

the female gender is seen as an object of satisfaction and if she doesn't meet up she is thrown out with contempt.

at their marriage the female gender is seen as a commodity that need to be sold her value tally with the things that the family had spent on her. if she had a degree education her bride price is of higher value. than those without education.

in the Ibo culture when a man cheat it is easily overlooked. but the case of a woman will invoke the curse of god and eternal damnation.

I see this things first hand during my service in the eastern part of the country.

I am of the feeling that the Ibo tribe need reorientation on civil ways of taking care of the child and not to see her as just an object because it is affecting the self-steem of an average ibo lady.

You lie! Bride price is a family discussion, nothing like education or not. And that a woman not inheriting properties has been squashed by the Supreme Court. Women now inherit properties.
We take care of our ladies especially the first daughter, "Ada", in some families or clans she has the highest bride price.
An Ordinary Igbo man makes sure her daughters are educated while the male children learns trading or art. What you wrote down was the old Igbo culture that has been out of existence for many years now.
Thanks though for bringing to light these plights of women.

imagine, someone wrote what was a culture shock to her, and you are saying it is not shocking (sic). Are you her?

I'm not her, doesn't stop me from saying how I see it.
Probably I didn't put it well, but then I meant no harm.

Went on a one week trip to Singapore.
In my connecting flight I was the only black person on the fully booked 767 and I recall the ticket attendant kept looking at me like say I miss road when I wanted to board.

Despite being a "global" city the only other black person I saw was on a movie set being shot in the street.
You can't chew gum in public and could get arrested and charged a fine for that. Overall, it is a beautiful and super clean place.
I cancelled my proposed trip to Bali an even more obscure destination.

Still love travelling, guess I just won't be doing that alone.

lets travel 2geda den

I learnt from an Idoma friend of mine that their culture don't permit the use of family planning and birth control. Also, their women are traditionally and spiritually tied to their husbands via a special kolanut eaten during their traditional wedding ceremony.

Dalek:


i really can't say sha, but i think the inheritance issue is true. there was a topic here on the last year about a woman who went to court cuz dey won't give her, her father's stuffs

Reason being that the male child suceeds the father; his name, bloodline, undiluted gene, and his name just like the jews in the bible unlike ladies that marry out to their husbands lineage...where the man has no male child, either his immediate brothers inherit his properties or in their discretion leave it for the woman as the culture has evolved

azin i weak o as yoruba it's normal thing, all my aunt's got a share of my grandparents properties. but them first they sell the daughters and disavow them

the case go worse if her husband dies, shave head, Drink the water used in washing the corpse et al

Nollywood has destroyed you. Travel to the Igbos, no one drink corpse shit in igboland.
You might shave your as a sign of respect, if you like. My mom shaved hers while my aunt did not. It doesn't matter.
Well my mom got her Father's properties, even got bigger share than the male children.
Almost everything in Igbo is about your clan or your family. Explore you, thanks

Are we still talking about cultural shocks?

Forgive? Don't embarrass yourself. No one asked you for your forgiveness, no one even cares about it and whom you give

100% true. What is most celebrated in Ghana is burial/funerals. I went for a wedding and I was given snacks, but if it's burial now they'll cook and make merry like it's a wonderful thing. The thing weak me honestly.

Tensazangetsu20 is right.

Err are you really sure about this??

Because I recall my Ghanaian teacher in secondary school usually shows disdain when he sees people serving food at Burials.

In his words "it means you are happy the person is dead and you want more people to die".



Your claim sounds.....

Stevengerd:
Once am done, will drop it here on NL. I think the ghanians will be able to relate with it.

Okay dear, anticipating.

How do they prepare peanut cake (kwili-kwili)?

While your reply proves you are the one really in need of one, while also proving how some people are jobless amebos. Don't worry. There's hope, Nigeria will get better and you'll finally get yourself a job. But then again while your mates are making themselves useful to the world, you'll be in an ashewo joint, hoping to get laid.

Sounds what? That's what I met in Ghana. Burials are taken as a big deal. If you don't believe, go there.
