Trying to take us Back to the Beginning of time, A Twitter user with the name Christiana1987 has declared the generation of G.ay started from the Igbos, She said then it used to be 2 females, (Like Lesbians) and that even the British never caution or stop them..
That they welcomed babies, by allowing the female to sleep with a man..
Their names used to me Amarachi something, something, i’ve forgotten,.. Just

The one I know of is a mother marrying a wife for her dead son/husband to continue the lineage and both of them will be living together

The girl don't even know what she is talking about, in Igboland an older woman can marry a woman in family where there is no male children,the marriage is basically for procreation and not for lesbianism,on the day of the marriage an anonymous man will stand as the husband, the girl is free to get pregnant from any man so that the lineage of the family will continue.

It was not an act of Lesbianism per say
it was a situation where an elderly woman marries a younger woman not for herself but for either her late husband ( in circumstance where she had no issue or male child for her husband) or her late son ( if the son was never married or had no son).
The idea is to bear a son to continue the lineage of a husband or son.
The elderly woman provides for the younger lady with food, shelter, money, cloths and make her comfortable, and pays her bride price - taking he role of a husband.
The younger lady goes out meet a man to conceive (hopefully a SON), there is no strings attached with her male lover and he cannot claim paternity to the product of their romance. Also there is no sexual or romantic intimacy between both women (I never heard of any).
The younger lady can leave the arrangement to get married after she may have given birth to the number of children the elderly woman desires or after the demise of the elderly woman.
This practice is still prevalent in IGBO land especially the very remote places.

She got the particular of the female husband practice slightly wrong,but the thrust of her post is mainly right.
In the old days,no one cared about your sexuality or whatnot.Just be useful to the society, is all they cared about.
Even now,in rural Igboland,that still hold sway.
