Covid-19 is a very big taboo in my tradition
If you eventually eat it you'll die in the next fourteen days or highest in a months time
Unless you go for cleansing

Snails. Ukwuani land.

I've never eaten snails, will never knowingly eat them. If one unknowingly eats them, you're supposed to induce vomiting. If you can't, you're to go for ceremonial cleansing.

So you are Ukwuani? Ukwuani ebei?

What does the "cleansing" entail, if I may ask?

Just a bit curious.

Chopping another man's wife is a taboo in my village ...''chopping" as in ''fvcking"....

But i understand that in some parts of Benue State, men give out their wives and daughters as Kola to visitors shocked...as in if you are spending the night in his house, he can delegate one of his wives or daughters to keep you in satisfactory coital company overnight....

Point is....one man's meat is another man's poison cool
Unku, that was in the olden days.

Igbos don't eat frog!!

But you already know the Igbos are superwise people so there's a saying that;

"Onye na eri awo ya rikwa nke gbara agba"

Meaning if you ever have to eat frog, make sure you eat a big one.

Hmmm none I know of actually. And i haven't been told there's a particular food we don't eat in my tribe/culture.. I believe anything goes as long as it's something edible (can be eaten by anyone) and nutritious.

Are you Asian

IDIOT POSTER:



Who told you I am from Ijaw? Why do I have always play into people's intelligence?

Are you confused?

How does "mention of Ijaw" translate as "You are Ijaw" or perhaps you should socially distance yourself from my posts and threads?

Thanks!
