TIV people believe you must serve your male guest with your wife(s*x) to promote good friendship.
I want to strongly believe you must be a TIV man's wife. What better authority

Henry praise: Among the Okpe pple of urhobo delta state, it is forbidden to use kitchen utensils to flog or hit sum one.

Among the okpe pple again, a young girl hu uses one hand to grind pepper will make a bad house wife in d future.

It is forbidden for children to eat the gizzard, chest, yanch, liver, heart, lap(thighs) of birds and animals such ar reserved for d most senior in d house, the children or young ones can have d head, neck, sheyge(fingers) wonder if dem be juju

A woman does not do "Ishegwarre" in a meetin, she will be fined.

The last drink remaining in a bottle is left for the owner of d house, if u drink it, u will buy anoda bottle of drink and be fined.

It is forbidden to ask a visitor U GO CHOP? its taken as an insult.

U neva purnish a child wit hunger.
urhobo waado!

You cant change your culture by modifying my post.

Its your culture, that's why you could boldly typed such comment, you know yourself.

The prostitutes in Edo states know themselves, but when they're exposed, they claim Bini. Check out their names, rarely'll you find any with a bini name. These tribes in Edo state mostly bear foreign names like Bose, Shade, Chichi, e.t.c, none can speak bini fluently.

Thank God you've just exposed one of the tribes 'AGBOR'.

The Binis are too proud to push their precious women into prostitution.

remecy: Culture is a way of life for different people and as such what is good for the goose in your culture might not be good for same goose in mine.
What is the craziest fetish but true fact you have ever seen or heard about a culture, people or state,within or outside Nigeria......
1) in Delta, if you kill a monitor lizard, you bury just like you bury human being.
2) in Edo, Owan, if a woman cheats on her hubby and he is aware and still sleeps with her or shred uses her boyfriend money cook for him,the hubby will die and her children falls sick.
Lets hear yours............

In Delta state, there over 11 minor ethnic groups with varying cultures... I know that some part of Ndokwa i.e. Kwale (Ukwu Ani) They treat a particular part of snake with high respect. They (their core traditional people) sing her praise, spread white chalk, throw cowries to it and call her their mother. Also, they conduct a proper burial if such snake dies. If it is killed by mistake, they do some sacrifices to appease the gods.

The proper Asaba people forbid 'Ogbono soup' As a matter of fact, it is an abormination to sell Ogbono seed in their Ogbogonogo market.


The Ika (Agbor and Owa) people run after gian rat -(Big Domestic ones like you see in Lagos), for pepper soup. They can do anything to kill such rats. Ironically, Agbor people hunt and kill for delicacy, the same snake the Ukwu Ani people forbid to eat and treat like their mummy.

@OP Which one is Monitor Lizard...I need some education here!

During the cause of growing up and by the nature of my dad's work, I have been to most major towns in Delta State.

You are very ignorant. Among some of the poorer people, that may obtain BUT I know a hundred families where all the females are professionals: lawyers, accountants, bankers. Maybe you rented face-me-I-face-you in some poor area, if at all you ever lived there.

Tribalistic generalisation/bigotry is common on Nairaland.
