Hahaha! Then you better not marry from akwa Ibom, because you would be cut down to size. The shaving is not even done with clipper, but razor blade and that is just one in a long line of other rituals to be performed on you, one of which is passing a night with the corpse.

oceania100: . What's your point here.You seem to be ignorant of the fact that these groups borrow cultures from each other. If it happen in any part of Igbo at all, then it is borrowed from AKS.

Chregor: @ ofonagoro, thunder strike u alround; ur thread speaks how Sordid & irritating u're.
In my life sojourn in the state, I'm yet to hear of such awful,ugly treatment to include drinking of whatever u've framed up and shaving of hair; these two is alien to Akwa ibom state. A state boasts of woman as deputy governor, head of civil service; 3 or more heads of local government, councillors, judiciary and so on.
I only know of confiscation of properties in some families, which we thought was discriminating, traumatic and unlawful,thus, the need to strike it out.
So Mr. Op or whatever u answers, u've got to cite an example of hordes of widows who confirmed this.
Nkpodia mben inua amo !

Ofonagoro :
Widows Will No Longer Drink Bath-water Of Their Dead Husbands In A/ibom

The custom allowing the seizure of deceased husbands properties and subjecting their widows to inhuman practices such as shaving of the head and making them drink the water used to bath their husbands, among others, have now become illegal in Akwa Ibom State.


The state government, in a bill passed by the House of Assembly and signed by the governor, Chief Godswill Akpabio, outlawed the custom which maltreat widows after the deaths of their husbands, declaring it as unlawful and inhuman.

In his Democracy Day speech, the governor declared that it had become unlawful for widows to be maltreated in Akwa Ibom, saying defaulters of the law risk fines and three years imprisonment.

While reacting on the new law, the First Lady of the state, Chief (Mrs) Unoma Ekaette Akpabio, commended the House of Assembly and the governor for the pro-women law, describing the passage of the law as a breakthrough for the womenfolk in the state.

According to her, “I appreciate the state House of Assembly and the state governor for standing with the womenfolk through this law. Akwa Ibom State has, in the last five years, shown itself as pro-masses and pro-women.”

PAGAN 9JA:
strange cultural practice.

J12:

Hey lady, are you threatening me? Do you know who I am?

50calibre:

Take a seat! You are woman and as such, speaks like one. I have been to hell and back untouched to now be killed by a COMMON woman, I am invincible and impervious to human attacks, be it spiritual, physical or otherwise.

Again I would reiterate, except you want to be bent over by force or possibly ostracised, steer clear of akwa Ibom. You know women don't listen but when the chips are down, that's when they realise they are just women. Don't say 50calibre didn't tell you.

Hi...

obadiah777: DAYUMMMMM. HAVING SAID THAT THE OUTLAWZ SMOKED TUPACS ASHES IN THEIR BLUNTS SO HE CAN BE WITH THEM FOREVER. TRUE STORY

Abagworo:


For me not to have heard of this culture, then it never existed. I have a feeling it is a method employed by some relatives to get at there brother's wife. The culture of shaving and wearing black was introduced by Christians. At a stage it was changed to growing hairs and the men not shaving for one year. It was never an African culture.

Efikman: PAGAN, you don dey deny your PAGAN PRACTICE abi?
