of cus stupid anti Igbo thread makes it to front page instantly

ItzChinnex:

So Nine (9) of us started a smooth journey with Peace Mass Transit from Imo state to Abuja. We stopped at Obolafor(my apologia for the misspelling) to buy some foods or snacks to keep us busy in the bus. Then all of a sudden, I started seeing market women,who were hustling for their daily breads running, "why were they running?" I asked myself. We were about to move when a masquerade attacked me with fresh large canes, giving me like 4 lashes. What did I do? Am not even based in Enugu, I'm not selling, neither did I come for business; I mean I was just a traveler why should I be flogged? What pained me was that these masquerades are just hungry citizens talking laws into their hands.

What they do is that, they flog you and tell you to give them money, when you don't, they flog you again and again: What kind of a daylight robbery is that? What are the youths in that communities doing about this? Why should Enugu allow this nonsense? The worst part is that they flog both Old and younger hustling women, even children. I mean today isn't even Christmas that might make it look like fun. If Enugu claims to be civilized and wise, this shouldn't be happening in this 21st Century. I mean today I was embarrassed because when it happened, people were watching.

He was lucky his colleagues were there because at that that point of this scenario; he would have smelt his anus.

Have you finished crying?



Smelt his anus, ko, smell your cowardice ni.

Probably they are "akatakpa Obollo". It's a seasonal masquerade that comes out every year (I think around July August). Coming to the high way to flog travellers is very silly and barbaric. Some jobless youth trying to intimidate people under different guise. You people should have joined hands to beat them mercilessly.

The rationale behind the tradition had long eroded. I was of the view these things have long been abolished. That's the governor's local government by the way.

lawalosky:
will u keep qwaet. cho cho cho cho cho cho. when has Orba turn to Obollo afor

maestroferddi:
Stupid crave for twisted attention.

This practice happens in almost every part of Nigeria.

It is condemnable/reprehensible but laying emphasis on Enugu smells of infantile mischief.

BreakupNigeria:
Don't mind the afonja, I really pity them because Internet has finally changed the game. We will continue to counter their lies and propaganda with facts and figures. Even Lagos still practices the worst form of barbarism in Ikorodu and other places where women are not allowed to come out in the open on certain days!! Masquerade is a common feature in virtually every part of yorubaland and it even recently caused trouble between them and Hausas recently! I wonder why they want East to be like Europe while there region is still stuck in stone age.

Ategberoson:
and after they will be forming Porsche here as if they're civilized, bunch of glorify village people



the 21 century wanted to do same to me at Nnewi then, not until the bike man carrying me told them he's a Corper

YorubaAssasin:
Awon Okoro Savages! This is the major reason why these uncivilized savages run away from that jungle called SE 9ja.

Egungun:
Egungun is otherwise known as masked ancestors of the Yoruba land which assures the people that the dead are among the living. The festival is set off when the Chief priest of the Egugun Masquerades invokes the spirit of the ancestors ,this act is known as ”Alapi”, it is done when the Egugun masquerade and worshippers dance , drum and are now possessed by the ancestral spirit. The Egungun masquerade is dressed in colourful regalia with a whip ,which is used to flog anyone in the way of the spirits .
Guess your SUFFERSTICATED Brethrens are also SAVAGES..

Homeboiy:
