I noticed that Yorubas do not visit their villages as often as Ibo's or Ijaws. Is there any reason? |
Re: When Last Did You Visit Your Village? by MrCrackles(m): 2:10pm On Sep 04, 2008 |
Omo e don tey ooo! |
Re: When Last Did You Visit Your Village? by carnal: 3:34pm On Sep 04, 2008 |
@Ibime,igbos visit more because of their older folks are in the village while the yorubas especially those in lagos dont visit much because most of their elderly folks are in the cities,do you also know that alot of yoruba people don't take their people home for burial rites? |
Re: When Last Did You Visit Your Village? by Queenisha: 5:27pm On Sep 04, 2008 |
carnal: That's not true. Igbos believe that your village is your ultimate home so no matter where they are, Christmas is not the same when you don't spend it in the village. We take pride in our villages We build our most gorgeous homes in our villages even if you have to spend just 2 weeks in a year there We go there to conduct our traditional and sometimes church weddings,anniversaries and ultimately our funerals. My parents live in a city,I was born in a city but the biggest and most gorgeous house they have,is in the village. An Igbo man without a home in his village is not yet a man. You can move to Lagos,Onitsha and Ijebuode. If you have a home in Lagos,you are expected to build your real home in your village. We take pride in our place of origin. Even when our folks have passed away or moved to anywhere else,our villages remain a place of pride We don't do "town marriages" any Igbo man that comes to marry someone,when the traditional things set off,everyone migrates to the village not Aba or Enugu where the woman and her folks may be residing. They move down home to Umuokonko Isiekenesi straight to her father's compound That is the real home Where she comes from,where her father,grandfather and great grand come from That is Igbo culture And we are very very proud of this. can't wait to go to my village,my mothers and my hubby's |

Re: When Last Did You Visit Your Village? by Ibime(m): 10:08pm On Sep 04, 2008 |
Queenisha: That is very true for Ijaws also. Although we do not have to build our best house in the village sha. I cannot remember any school holiday when I didn't go home to my beloved Ogan-ama. Be it Easter, Summer or Christmas, even midterm holidays. |
