BY NATURE OF OUR RACE, DADA IS THE NATURAL FORM OF OUR HAIRS IF WE LET IT GROW FROM THE ROOTS WITHOUT COMBING OR TOUCHING IT.

THIS IS WHY YOU SEE MANY MADMEN AND PRISONERS WITH DREADS. IT HAS NOW BECOME FASHION, AS EUROPEANS AND AMERICANS PAY MONEY TO HAVE WHAT WE HAVE NATURALLY. IT'S THE SAME WAY OUR WOMEN PAY MONEY TO HAVE THEIR HAIRS LOOKING LIKE THAT OF EUROPEAN WOMEN.

U are a very enlightened man,thanks.

Most Africans especially the blacks are born with curly hair.... if left in its original state, it becomes locks.

combing is just like trying to shape it everyday from its original nature.

but this religion zombies nd traditional puppets will come nd be spewing the rubbish they've been digesting all their ignorant lives.

Information alone cannot transform a man, only God's word, His Spirit and personal determination can, science and technology cannot, you can't ignore Jesus and make any genuine progress in this world, if only education can transform, then professors will not demand for sex from undergraduates, there's something higher than man in this life, I tell you. JESUS IS THE ANSWER!!! and from now on the world will have to bow to His lordship for the world's good.

I understood your preaching about Jesus .
But I would like you to link it up with dreadlocks very well.
I believe you will confuse your self with over spirituality and end up not convincing anyone with your preaching.

The best and surest adviser is the Holy Spirit, however with little knowledge about dreadlocks, there's a comma somewhere, if you have a child with dreads, prayerfully cut it, that is why most believers cut their children's hair before dedication, the words I write are not comprehendable with a carnal mind, they're spiritually discerned. God bless you.

At this time and age a young may be educated or uneducated still think in this way? Well education is not all about seeing the 4 walls of a university, it goes far beyond. Smh

Zero logical reasoning. It's ok though, seek solace in the fact that you're not alone, there are millions of your type littered everywhere, especially in Nigeria
in the spiritual realm logic is totally lame. The FATHER of spirits has the final say.

Dreadlocks!!!


There's nothing spiritual or mystic about dreadlocks,but,i strongly hate it on people..

I met an undergraduate with dreads sometimes ago,the guy's hair stank to the heavens.na small e remain make I vomit.i don't know why Nigerians keep dreads when they know they can't take proper care of such hair.imagine queuing behind a boy with dreads and the terrible odour coming from his dread assaulted you so much you had to cunningly leave his back for another innocent dude only to notice the new dude you leave the place for stylishly bending his nose away from the guy's dread.

Op, the bias is deeply rooted in traditional religious beliefs and myths, especially in this part of Nigeria. Often times, people with dada are tagged negatively in likes of mentally challenged person, Yahoo guys, mad person.

These superstitions and beliefs ignite fear and portraited evil in the society which have been deeply entrenched into people's mind and certain religious group renforced the belief among their followers. Only certain people who questioned their culture and belief become emancipated from their culture and religion dogma.

So if you like dada hairstyle, feel free to go make one for yourself. Dreadlock is the style name. Basket mouth, Olamide, Rema, Flavor, formal Psquare, Zlanta once rock the hairstyles and some are still rocking it. No spirituality, no cause, no negativity, it just vibe, trend and lifestyle
you are dumb. What of de babies that are born with dreadlocks?

Many of you are not enlightened and lack knowledge of your culture and traditions. In Yoruba mythology, Dada is the child of Yemoja and elder brother to Sango (god of lightening).

YOU ALREADY CALLED IT A MYTH, RENDERING IT INVALID IN REAL LIFE. BYE.

I know you will believe in spiritual message, assuming u were given the message before ur child was born , not to touch the hair with any blade, are u still going to go ahead and cut it

A man that bathes smells how much more a man that doesn't bathe. They both smell but on different levels.

Of course I know Asa, let me and there. It doesn't change the fact that the hair is dirty and synonymous with mad people

YOU'RE BEGINNING TO SOUND DRUNK, JUST LIKE I EXPECTED. FROM ONE BRANCH TO ANOTHER.
I'M SURE YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND YOURSELF, SO HOW CAN ANYONE UNDERSTAND YOU?

YOU'RE ALSO VERY LAZY AND DIRTIER THAN A PIG BECAUSE FOR SURE, YOUR BRAIDS WON'T LET YOU WASH EVERYDAY.

Because they are dirty simple and short.

Why stop at hair? I hope they don't don't shave armpits too and pubic hairs because they can do whatever dirty rubbish they want to.

some people don't just like shaving their pubic hairs,not because of dirt but they just hate shaving it.i know three people who hate shaving the pubes..


There's an American porn actor that also hate shaving his pubic hair.he believe it's not right shaving it.


This thread is somehow jare..but in all,there's nothing spiritual about dada.just our superstitious mind at work,i don't like dreads myself.


Some people even hate shaving their beards.the American basketball star,james harden(fondly called the beard) is one who hate cutting his beard

You see, what ever you hate is the cure to your ailment, people do not like the taste of some drugs but that is the cure, truth (JESUS) is the drug that can cure worldliness and sinful nature so many people here would not like HIM and His teachings, if your life is not completely led by the HOLY SPIRIT you can never like what i say (i already know) until you reconcile with your maker it will never make sense to you " The gospel of the cross is foolishness to them that perish"

natural dreadlocks lock straight from de womb. I have three brothers born that way. The hairs come out naturaly "glued" together. You dnt even talk of combing it. We that dont have it, even if we leave our hairs uncombed for weeks, it will only look bushy.it can never be like natural dread. Natural dreads come out that way.

Few hours back I was pondering within me about this same "dreadlocks" well my take is dreadlocks has been hijacked, Samson was a frontliner as regards dreadlocks but that was God ordained however today the Marine kingdom and their subsidiaries (using the name of church) have hijacked dreadlocks.
How could marine kingdom. Hijack dreads? All your years on nairaland have not brought any civilization to you.

How? Can you explain better? And how about those that have it naturally as kids?

They gave you simple reason, you are asking further question... how.

THERE IS NO BABY THAT COMES WITH DREADLOCKS.

THERE IS NO BABY THAT COMES WITH DREADLOCKS NATURALLY.

Think we'll before speaking, else, your speech and question will tell who and how you are.

Okay, Good to know, u earlier asked a question, only for you to come and say otherwise. Dreadlocks is not a fruit of the Spirit. If you know the TRUTH. He (Jesus) will set you free, you see unless the Light shines darkness will forever rule, unless the world acknowledges Jesus as Messiah, the whole world will be on one chance, I de tell you.

Don't be a fool. Answer the question. Which one is Jesus say Jesus no say

Jesus is now glorified and The Holy Spirit has been sent, dreads no longer signify spiritual strength (from the true GOD) like in the days of Samson.

There are definitely spiritual undertones to people with natural dread but i really don't know much about it. For those saying its always dirty its just another lie. I have a beautiful little nephew who was a natural dread and his mom takes good care of the hair. Washes it and applies the right ointments although she is cele sha a strong one who owns her own church. I remember how i used to stroll with this little kid on the streets in Ibadan back then. Na so fine fine girls dey hustle to just carry am or play with am and me no dey fail to finish work grin

He's grown now... that was some nine years ago
please be corrected, women dont lead congregation in celestial church talk less of to own her own church

There are no mystery, i was inprisoned for 2 years, i didn't comb ny hair in protest, when i was released after 30 months. i came out with dreadlocks, that was not a mistery! eventually i kept the dread but not the locks.
