I made my own. I reject every idea that I was not first consulted on nor voluntarily subscribe to.

I guess you dress the way u like and speak anyhow u like?

illicit:
■ Yeah so why talking about people u know nothing about?

What the heck? Are you high on fumes or something? I was talking to OP and OP told me of his ancestors. Why are you making this about you?

Duh!

It's actually called "Gambia rat" prevalent on farm locations or suburbs with a lot of building blocks and large holes

This is punch rat

U made this about u

He was not there when someone turned to a rat, it was passed down to him

That's culture, oh I forgot u don't have one

😉

Guyman01:

We used to call it "rabbit" in the village back then because we didn't know it's oyinbo name, it's actually called Cane Rat and not rabbit which has long ears and cab be domesticated

Whether we know the oyibo name or not it is called rabbit and if you are not satisfied it is called 'okete,' white at the end of the tail, hand and foot

I never did any of what you accuse me of and this is why I am puzzled as to why you are heavy on making this your issue.

Kobojunkie:
I am not concerned about your not eating it yourselves. It is just that you are handing a potential relative of yours out for others to eat though.

You're something else.

This is rabbit, not giant rat.

This is a rat not a rabbit…. People from delta do call it rabbit

This is why i come to NL

Nahh, one of the rare times this site is elite.

You questioned and disrespected his culture, thereby his ancestors...

That's wrong

He doesn't eat rats because his people don't, but anyone can eat it, he doesnt care, why questioning that?

Let's not shame people with awkward questions, it might affect them offline. I am actually worried about the guy who said they don't eat the giant rat due to someone in his lineage turning to one. No post from him again. I pray he stays safe.

One of our forefather turns to this, years ago.

So me eating this is like eating my forefathers

For Real? Was he into WITCHCRAFT?

Show me proof of my questioning or disrespecting his culture or forever hold your peace.

Why will his relative eat rat when it's their culture, do u think it's personal?

It's not just the OP that doesn't eat rats, it's a culture among his people

Can u understand that?

MUMU* 😆 🤣

He is not a mumu though. It is his belief and so should be respected. And even better, he is not imposing it on others.

Kobojunkie:

That's not true!

Maybe you didn't mean to shame him. But let's look at it like this, a lot of us had the same question on our minds, on the tips of our tongues or fingers, but we would not ask it. Why, because we have that premonition that the person might get upset or offended and hurt by it. You don't know who is strong and who is not, so you have to tread carefully.

All the same, there's an advantage to blunt or straightforward people like you who ask questions or say things, not sensing that it might hurt someone. Your kind of person pushes breakthroughs and discoveries of new knowledge in history.

I used to wonder how there are people that don't pause and think that something they say might hurt someone. But I've been around that type and I realized that they really don't think what they say is harmful, they have a kind of hurtful, callous innocence about them. They are just curious without second thoughts. I think you're like that.

All this is great and stuff but I fail to see the relation between this and what I asked or said to OP.

OP said he does not eat these rats because an ancestor of his turned into one, and I respect that belief of his. My question to him was regarding the welfare of his other potential ancestors or relatives out there who maintain that ability to turn into rats. Indians' for example protect elephants and snakes because of similar beliefs they hold. Even cows are protected in India. But OP does not hold any ideas regarding the need to protect the animals from harm as he readily offers them up to others to eat. That puzzled me. I expected OP to say that because of the relationship shared, he would protect the animal or something. Not throw it into someone else's pot of soup.

That's still a stvpid believe!, sorry, not everything told to you when you were a kid you believed now, isn't it?

I have friends who believe cows as sacred creatures and not once have I thought them to be stewpid beings. As a matter of fact, out of respect, I don't eat beef, if I can help it, in front of them.

I also understand you but as you can see, others have used this straightforward question of yours to ridicule the person in question. As you being you, you didn't see what others would use your statement to do. All I'm saying is that someone else would've probably seen the possibility of mockery by others ahead of time, and, refrained from asking that question to prevent it.

If you so choose, you can try to evaluate the way others would use or perceive your statement next time, just as a sensitive move to protect the person you are conversing with.

Lol okay oo, you don't eat beef out of respect to displease yourself to please others??, you sound ridiculous and needs to discover yourself!, how about they respect your decision on enjoying your steaky delicious beef 😋, how about that??

So out of fear of what others might say we should stay away from having conversations? You are kidding, right?

Kobojunkie:
Oh, I see!

So, you don't eat it because one of your forefathers used to wear that image but you give it to others with no thought as to whether that could also be a relative of yours?

Na you ask question and now you are questioning the answer...what do humans really want ??
