Oponu you watch too much of low budget nollywood movies, which explains where you got all these bogus and garbage misrepresentations of the Igbo culture from. Go dust up your Things fall Apart novel, then read it indeptly to understand the beautiful and intriguing components of the Igbo culture.

who dey do this movies....?? not the same your people....

Facts That Proves Judas is a Yebbo Man

Believe me, JUDAS ISCARIOT is an African, and he looks much better like a West African, Believe me, he is a Nigerian(he got their smartness) but the question here is.

what are the characters of judas that qualifies him as an Igbo man?...

Here they are similar characteristics
1. Hard-working
when the 12 disciples were sent out on their tours of preaching and healing, judas was entitled to be recognized for his effective working power.

Just as the Igbo are been recognized for their hard work.

2. He is a fault finder.
when mary anointed the feet of Jesus with a valuable ointment, it was judas alone who found fault with this act of may as wasteful. The same goes for Igbo they can detect fault for Africa.

He is a businessman
With his usual aptitude of mind, he at once formed the estimated value of this ointment.
Just like the Igbo only looking at your shoes an Igbo lady will tell you the estimate

4. Love of money

If not for the love of money why will judas betray his great master for just 30 pieces of silver?
Just like the Igbo man they can even betray Nnamdi many as am speaking now just for $30,000

[s]No, on the contrary I blame a culture that sees a "queen" as you claim you are unclean to cook and serve food to men simply because she is on her period.
I blame a culture that sees you a "queen" as property to be inherited by the brother of her late husband.
I blame a culture that sees you a "queen" as someone incapable of owning her self and her children because according to the Igbo culture a man who doesn't do the marital rites is not regarded as the father of the child he bore so temporarily the father of the woman "owns" the child and if the she decides to get married again, the child belongs to the new husband. That's why you as a "queen" will not be allowed to take you child with you if you divorce your husband and are planning on remarrying because the ownership of the child will switch to the new husband.

I blame a culture where you as the "queen" are not allowed to inherit your father's properties excluding the ancestral ones and your mother's properties because that rightfully belong to the last son and you my "queen" belong to your husband.

I blame a culture where you as the glorious "queen" that you are is considered not fully settled in your husband's house if you don't bear him children and half settled when you bear him only daughters.

I can go on and on but please don't invalidate the experiences of others simply because you are treated like a "queen"[/s].

Total trash from ur family NNE
Nollywood has confused u... U are actually very foolish to bliv this things.
I stopped immediately I saw " a lady on period can't cook and serve"
And a brother inherits her brothers wife

I stopped reading immediately.
I cook in my family every time on my even on my period. Except when I'm in pains.
And Neva in my life have I seen some1 inheriting some1 wife as a brother ,
Those shits only exist in nolly.
If anything of syck happed it would be in the 70s or early 80s

As I said before
Blame ur family and ur father especially!!

And finally there are many aboki men dying to have u as a wife.
U can go there and adopt the culture abi

Ardar:


Most people who don't lie to themselves just to protect and promote a primitive culture know that men are placed way higher than women in the Igbo culture, who knows if the treatment of your father to your mother would have not been how you described it to be if she had not given him male children or behaved like an ideal wife should according to his culture.

Igbo men are very misogynistic along with other African cultures anyway.

Marry Yoruba and Hausa and stop complaining .
Ur father treated ur mum like trash and u come here to cry to us go and cry to her

Who is this one abeg is everything alright at home?
As she rightly told u , don't come here to use ur family experience to judge the who tribe stop talking rubbish here pls.
What u stated here is clearly opposite of what happens in my tribe.
If ur family mistreated u state it as such
Just as u u said " don't invalidate others experience " yes. U said rightly and that's the more reason u should ascribe ur experience to ur family alone not all of us Igbo ladies came from misogyny family like u don't come here to talk rubbish biko.

My brothers gave up school that I may school which they later go back when there is money reason I graduated before all of them despite being the junior one.

My eldest brother brother is till in school because he gave up school for me to school.

I don't know Some of Igbo ladies are just stupid only u come online to talk trash about ur tribe Hausa ladies don't do it Yoruba ladies don't do it.. Not because thee tribe don't have shortcomings but because they value and respect their culture.

Do u know that up till date Yoruba's have a festival where women are not ment to come out.?
If u do u stand a chance of being killed and used as sacrifice? Even in a mega civilized cite it trends and we don't come out.
Talkless of other Yoruba states.
Does igbo have that kind of barbaric tradition ?and how many times have u seen yoruba women come out openly to condemn themselves on that tradition rather they make it trend like something important and use it to put fear in all of us

Whether it happened in the 70s or in the 80s doesn't matter, what matters is that it happened and in some parts of Igbo land is still happening.

The op clearly opened this thread to praise such a culture and compare it with the Jewish culture with pride but you claimed you stopped reading after you saw the menstruation part.

Its very ironic that you continue to insist that am writing all these based on personal experience when you are the one rambling on about how your life is so perfect and nothing of such have or is happening to you.

It's just like invalidating the pains of a homeless person simply because you have a home.

I will not go down to your level with insults which you have repeatedly thrown at me but I'll like for you to know that Igbo women are not treated fairly, I have witnessed and seen countless of women (family or strangers) go through immerse pain all in the name of culture. And I'd like for you to go out of your comfort zone and see the world for what and how it truly is.

I will not reply you again miss.

sorry I can't read all this trash.

DO A FAMILY MEETING CALL UR FATHER AND BROTHERS AND ADVICE THEM ON HOW TO TREAT WOMEN RIGHT. Its disappointing on their side.

I'm proud of my culture and where I come my family and they have treated me rightly
Thank u goodbye

All you have done is try to compare the yorober culture and the Igbo culture to show me that, at least one treats women a little better that the other which is quite sad.

I understand your point when you wrote that we shouldn't badmouth our culture in a forum filled with enemies who could use it against you, I get it. But we should not also take pride in listing out traditions that hurts and belittles women for this same people to see and expect people like me to keep mum, its just like beating a child and telling them not to cry.

What your brothers did for you is very noble but that is your personal experience dear it doesn't apply to everyone else.
You know its funny that you and that other lady keep emphasising on how personal experiences should not be used in matters like this but you guys keep doing the opposite by bringing your own personal experiences into this, it doesn't work like that.

There are records on how igbo women are not allowed to inherit properties even the supreme court had to give an order concerning that and it goes on and on. That's is not a personal experience but is what is ground now.

Let's stop deceiving ourselves and tell ourselves the truth here. The Igbo culture is not favourable towards women and don't let me get started on bride price and the different meanings behind it. It just exhausting.

This is too long long but I noticed u were repeating the same thing as I snapped through it.
but let me tell u this.
there is a big difference between culture and individual experience which I believe is where u are speaking from.
Its so that that ur family has to treat woman that way I understand.
But I swear the things u say I have never ever witnessed them around me or community
To me Igbo culture is even the most liberal and gives women the power and right to talk when h think about umuada.

Bride price is A MUST in every tribe in Africa. And hiking bride pride is wickedness of individual and not culture
Because I was around when my cousin got married.
Igbo culture is very very liberal to be honest.

There's nothing liberal about the Igbo culture with respect to women, don't be clever by half.

You obviously know nothing about the Igbo culture maybe you should ask an elder around you the place of a woman compared to that of a man and also ask for a detailed explanation on why women are not allowed to inherit properties and why a child is owned solely by the man who paid the bride price of the mother not minding if he is the biological father or not. That is how it is done in most places.

U are the person who knows nothing about Igbo culture.
U are very very ignorant not to know that the culture actually protects women from being used and dumped
If u got a gal pregnant and without payin the price then u lost this child.
What's happning between davido and chioma should be example to u.

As some1 rightly said u are very naive and myopic same time nollywood deceived u.
Igbo culture is one the best that protects women u won't understand that if have shallow brain.

U can't tell me nothing, Igbo men sacrifice a lot for their women as far as my experience is concerned.
Any other thing aside that is individual wickedness and not culture.

A Yoruba women died in my hood 2years ago and guess what killed her.
She gave birth to 3 female kids then the 4th one happens to be a female again and she died instantly in hospital and knowing the gender of her child and shoulder "female again"
It was later learnt that her husband and family were troubling here for having only female kids.
This story I'm telling u happened and I know the women personally becoz she has a big supermarket where I buy things.
A quest for having a male child is an African thing and also has a lot to do with the individual. My distant uncle has 4 females no male and hasn't quarrelled with his wife for a day.
Other tribes across Africa knows this and respect their culture but its my fellow Igbo women and their I TOO KNOW will always come out to disgrace themselves.


Yoruba culture has a lot of lapses, but they are smart u won't see them talking abut it public they focus on others to make them look bad and shallow people like u won't catch that.

At the bolded It's now very obvious that you know absolutely nothing about your culture. The obsession of having a male child is more profound in the Igbo culture ask everyone around you, when a child is born, the first question is "o nwoke kor nwanyi" and this question is not a tad bit out of curiosity to know what gift to buy but to know if the woman is fully settled in her husbands house, the yorobers are even more lenient in this matter but am not surprised, you know nothing about this, you're clearly ignorant. It shows now.

The issue of giving a child to a man who paid the mother's bride price has a positive effect in containing the culture of baby mama and papa that is rampant now a days but it has so many negative effects to the man, woman and sometimes the child. I'll explain.

An unmarried woman gets pregnant, the biological father is automatically not considered as the father, the father of the woman temporarily takes the role as the father, the woman marries and the child then belongs to her husband. Who lost here? The biological father. But this is done to teach them a lesson right? Okay

Second negative effect, a married woman decides to get a divorce, she is no longer interested in the marriage. She leaves with her little child, but she decides to remarry, what will happen to that child according to the culture? Remember, if she remarries, the child's ownership automatically switches to the new husband because her bride price has been returned to the ex husband. Now, this prompts her former husband to fight for his child to take them away.

This situation most times discourages women from leaving their marriages. Sometimes even if the woman does not remarry, the ex husband or his family still fight to take the child. Who lost here? The woman.

The third negative effect, this practice show no consideration for that child's wellbeing. Let's assume the mother is very well to do but the father is not, this culture will not consider the fact that the mother is more capable of taking care of the child than the father, so the child stays with the father anyway, sometimes the father ends up dumping the child for his mother or sister or if he remarried, his new wife to take care off and we all know how that turns out. Who lost here? The child.

The father could be late and his family would come with force to collect "their child" if the woman decides to get married again, this is after shaving off her hair and mourning him for 6months.

All u said are lies and it never happened I never witnessed such..
It can't be same Igbo culture that loved me.and nutured me
I cook in my family and has never been called unclean or any derogatory name.


My culture is not sexist ur family is sexist I'm a product of very beautiful culture which has loved me, shaped me, nurtured me, to be bold and daring and to believe in my self as a woman.

I don't know hat u are saying I can't relate.
Igbo's culture is still one of the best that protects women.
I have traveled around Nigeria and witnessed cultures and I can tell u in all honestly Igbo culture is one of the best.
