In Urhobo land it is a taboo for a married woman to shake hands with a man. Why? In this 21st century this practice is both suppresive and primitive. The men are showing how insecure they are.

It is not only the Urhobos, other ethnic groups in Nigeria are also culpable - the Hausa/Fulanis, Igbos, Ijaws, Yorubas, etc. Yes it is "suppressive and primitive" because greater percent of our people are not enlightened, hence it is considered as white people's culture. (Just my opinion).

Talk the one u know, make u no include married Igbo women there. It's not forbidden for them to do so.

I have never heard of any part of Igbo land where it is forbiden for women to shake hands with men. In my part of Igbo land married women can embrace a man depending on who the man is. Having a handshake with a man would not affect a woman in any way. Urhobo men should grow up.
