Some west African tribes eat dogs and monkeys and that is very weird and strange culture to us.



Also African-americans (and white americans too) star in filthy Indecency films and call it "entertainment"
-that is very weird and strange by judging by our wholesome African culture.If this was African practice we'd be called savages,animals etc.

I know of a tribe. 4give me, can't remember but in d remotest part of Abuja. One of my mum's colleague at her former workplace, a Fulani learned man from Gombe was invited to d wedding. A very crazy one indeed.

D young maidens happen to be virgins. They'll be lined up maybe in tens i.e, d young women and asked to bend wt dia asses up exposing dia vaginas. They don't wear clothes there coz its typical bushman kingdom.

D young men will come each, also wt ropes going round dia asses. By then dia joysticks are hard after stimulation. They'll be asked to run to d young women. If any man's penis enters d woman's vagina, then he'll be cheered and they become husband and wife. But if not, then till next year.

Chai! Wat a crazy culture. Not unique I must say

Did you just copy verbatim or did you take out time to analyze what you're copying?

What about some European fetish with marrying their cousin or the love of a man putting a ring on his fellow man.

Ukuthwalwa
In South Africa, ukuthwala is the practice of abducting young girls and forcing them into marriage, often with the consent of their parents. The practice occurs mainly in rural parts of South Africa, in particular the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal . The girls who are involved in this practice are frequently under-aged, including some as young as eight. The practice received negative publicity, with media reporting in 2009 that more than 20 Eastern Cape girls are forced to drop out of school every month because of ukuthwala.[/b]

Hehe cheesy

More to the list:

Wife Swapping

Wife swapping among Namibia’s nomadic tribes has been practised for generations.

The practise is more of a gentlemen's agreement where pals can have sex with eachothers' wives with no strings attached.

Nigeria needs this culture, it would foster friendship and unity cheesy

Kidnapping your bride

In the Sudanese Latuka tribe, when a man wants to marry a woman, he kidnaps her. Elderly members of his family go and ask the girl's father for her hand in marriage, and if he agrees, the father beats the man as a sign of acceptance of the union.

Spitting your hellos

Members of the Maasai tribe in Kenya and Tanzania spit as a way of greeting. Spitting plays another role: men spit on newborns and say they're bad, in the belief that if they praise a baby, it will be cursed. Maasai warriors will also spit in their hands before shaking the hand of an elder.
C'mon na..., idomas are swingers too, has it aided in fostering unity?. I hear 'tivs' and maybe 'idomas' also practise kidnapping of spouses.

The Korowai Tribe in New Guinea –
cannibalism:

This may be the most horrifying practice
from one of the tribes , but believe me
when I say that this practice is still more
effective with the current economy where the
cost of living has greatly escalated . You
don’ t necessarily have to die of hunger when
a few of you can be kept alive by simply
feeding on their friends and family members .
In fact , this practice has, for a very long time ,
been practiced by the Korowai natives. And
since this tribe is greatly isolated from the
rest of the world , the natives of this land still
practice cannibalism with the seriousness
that their forefathers had. And according to a
native of this land , korowai people will at any
time kill and eat a KhaKhua . For those that
don’ t know , a Khakhua is a witch doctor who
is believed to eat the inside of people ( eating
people ’ s intestines is considered as a taboo
in Korowai) . And in order to punish him,
Korowai people will first torture him , kill him
and then eat his brains before feasting on the
rest of the body .


When you live in a glass house you don't throw stones.

I thought Nigerians are the ones in Africa who practice or practiced Canibalism

AfricanApple Edit The Korowai Tribe from New Guinea out of your original post. Again they are not African, since the topic is African focus, we should stick with that. This makes you look ignorant by keeping it there, since myself and Fulaman corrected. So correct your mistake!

But where did she say that New Guinea is in Africa. According to the topic it states some tribe ms their weird practice with no mentioned of any continent.

Danbe is a strange cultural practice??

This OP did you go to school at all?
Danbe is a very popular wrestling art form in Hausaland and even kanuri /fulanis participate in it.

I don't understand how you can lump it into 'strange cultural practice'
Japanese sumo wrestlers engage in brazen display of. Pugilism and belligerence yet they're not strange and our own Danbe is strange?

The urhobos have this culture. A man/woman may not have a place to lay his/her head when living but may have a bungalow when dead. Others that do have are buried inside their houses.
