The fact you lose your virginity for early than 19 is no body's fault but yours. Stop being jealous

It was eventful day on Saturday, November 1, as the yearly ancient Iria festival was held in Okrika, Rivers State. About nineteen virgins were given certificates by the community elders which grants the ladies freedom to bring home their suitors for marriage. 

As other tribes in Nigeria have their annual festivals, people of Okrika have their annual initiation ceremony of virgins into womanhood which is held at the final quarter of the year.

The ceremony is aimed at welcoming young virgins who just clocked 18 years old and above into womanhood.

The traditional ceremony Is called”Iria” in Okrika.

This ceremony is said to be an ancient ceremony and also sacred as it Is only done by virgins in the ancient days.

This is a beautiful and enviable rare achievement these days which is sure worth lauding and celebrating.

But they need to quit exposing these angels almost going out of extinction and grant them a special protection status against the reprobate lazy ass ritualists funkifiedly referred to as "Yahoo plus boys".
what is enviable about this disgusting practice. Their mates in the west are being celebrated for innovation in science and technology, they're celebrating a tiny piece of flesh and they're even awarding certificates grin



Please let's stop these embarrassment. Stop objectifying and reducing women to sexual beings.see painted bodies.no bra,no blouse.smj

I saw similar initiation in Effurun in Uvwie kingdom, Delta state.

The urhobo like the ijaws also conduct such teen to young adult initiation.

It is a common ceremony in Africa.

There is also age grade rites and circumcision rites for male and female.

Travel around African kingdom and you will know more from different cultures. Masai in Kenya, Fulani in west Africa, Zulu in south Africa etc

Don’t judge others with your own experience.

The fact that you lost yours doesn’t mean that other girls are like you. There are still other people who treasure and hold onto their virginity. It’s to be celebrated.

If this culture is indeed not worthy of a celebration due to the reasons you submitted (which I agree with to an extent) even in the midst of of the sexual immorality prevalent among teens these days, we shouldn't forget to copy celebrating some of the West's immoralities including their "gay pride parade" because everything they do is right and as such we must emulate them.
