Cooking Beans For Twins (ewa Ibeji) by dotcomnamename: 4:44pm On Jun 28, 2012 |
I've been hearing this as far back as when i was in primary school to date, people keep saying one must cook beans for twins in oder to get blessings. The yorubas knows this as ''Ewa Ibeji. Pls what does that mean, and has to do with it? Is it true it brings blessings. I believe having twins or even one child will definately bring blessings without cooking beans ''ewa'' for the twins. What do u think nairalanders about this?

What is this? Some of us are at work and it is so unfair to tease us with beans like so. I swear I love beans and can eat it all day everyday. If eating Beans was the gateway to having twins. . . Then clear me mansion coz I'll be having 10 dozens!!! |

twins are a blessing. . . . . .please God I dont want twins ooo i'm just saying they are a blessing! if i remember correctly there are different types of twins, ibeji onijo- where the mother dances around the market and collects money with the twins on her back. ibeji oni rice- for their first birthday you make rice. . . .maybe jollof rice i don't remember sef and the one you mentioned- for the twins first birthday you prepare beans and distribute it to everyone. I think they consult with ifa or something to find out. Twins in their own right are blessings, what greater love can one have than with a twin, it's lovely. I love them. I think they should focus on the twins than all these fetishes jare, it's a waste of resources. especially the dancing around the market 1 Like |

@ Queensmith, i dont get u right. What does cooking beans for the twins and distribute it has to do with? Its all about what? What about if i have twins and i intentionaly dont want to cook any beans, some people said bad thing will happen to the parents. Is this true? |

dotcom_na_me_na_me: @ Queensmith, i dont get u right. What does cooking beans for the twins and distribute it has to do with? Its all about what? What about if i have twins and i intentionaly dont want to cook any beans, some people said bad thing will happen to the parents. Is this true? I think it's just their religion, they believe if they don't do it the twins will die. No I don't think it means anything will happen to the parents, they do it to keep the children alive. Who can blame them with infant mortality rates in that country. They resort to all sorts to keep their children safe. Sensible and otherwise. Of course it's not true, the tradition has been abandoned for a very long time now. Very few practice it. But everyone is entitled to their beliefs lol. |

Ileke-IdI: @bolded, Oh my God! LMFSO! There are some things you don't say, the bolded is one of them. Although, I laughed at it, it was very much inappropriate for you to make that comment. |
Re: Cooking Beans For Twins (ewa Ibeji) by isalegan2: 6:12pm On Jun 29, 2012 |
Ileke-IdI: ok. pardon me. i meant "you and ezeuche." lol. ok i'll stop. but you used to be friends. dig way down to find the love once again. i'm convinced he's harmless sha. sugbon, mo ti gbo. i have stopped. i am still trying figure out what all i need to do to ensure twins (in the very near future). Yams is on top of the food list. not sure if beans helps - this thread is confusing and i'm not re-reading it. lol. P.S. The 'sinister' word sounds too much like spinster. i reject it. |
Re: Cooking Beans For Twins (ewa Ibeji) by dotcomnamename: 6:59pm On Jun 29, 2012 |

The Yorubas were originally an idolatrous lot. They believe twins are god-incarnates and they need to be appeased to receive blessings. Failure to do these will have adverse effects! |
