Rubbish talk! You don't have to drink the palm wine infact people advice you not to drink it including your wife to be.

To avoid story that touches the heart, I pretended to have drank the palmwine mean while I use left hand pour the thing for ground... put money inside the empty cup and headed for blessings with my loving wife... this world is wicked.

N.a. all dis fake religious people dey try use other drinks in the name of say palmwine na Alcohol... In my tradition, palmwine is a compulsory for a marriage rite to take place

Old things shall pass away, behold it shall become new..We are in the era of new wine in a new wine skin.. Let the wineskin aleast b rebranded

In the good old days when evil was not rampant this tradition was great.
Nowadays people are wary because many destinies have been destroyed by some of these traditions.

PALMWINE IS SO RELEVANT THAT EVEN THE CAKE IS PALMWINE DESIGN.

don't mind them

I use malt during my own, my SIL quickly declined palm wine before they poison person pikin

And you wonder why so many marriages are failing.

By fire by force.

Armaggedon:
You should know some people enjoy deviance simply for the fun of it. non adherence to tradition is the major cause of marital crisis of this age, such as domestic violence and separation. Instead of not carrying palmwine because everyone in your community is evil and you're the only righteous one, do a low key one with only family around. It's so important. Non alcoholic drinks have no business with spiritual matters.

you will live long bro. may our ancestors bless you more

This is not true! Less than 5% of Igbos in Lagos engage in this practice. About 2% if we are being generous.

flyca:
Many Lagos Igbos now do traditional marriages in Lagos sef. All join.

Its in my blood and non of my kids will change it no matter what.
This has being my culture and identity, I dont understand this new generation

Fvck all dis traditional bullshit
I hate it

There are people who don’t like Palm wine. They make do with other wines.

Don’t mind the op with the long story.

Perhaps, one out of 10,000 traditional marriage ceremonies in his village was where groom suspected poison and refused to drink from his bride.

Many things are phasing out in the country already...

This is just one of 'em and not strange to me.

Many don't trust Village people these days.

People around me pretended to have taken it and they poured it on the ground.

I won't be an exception biko, life is too precious to lose it over a cup of wine.

Blackfire:
Try that rubbish in my village , and watch alusi okija scatter your marriage

Are you from Okija?

Scandalous!

I guess the above only happens in those 5th grade "nollyvoodoo" movies, right?

Bar somebody playing tricks on the palmwine(by poisoning it or something), I don't see how a man born of a real man would succumb to or develop stomach upset from drinking a harmless cup of the Sap.

If that were to happen to a son of mine{although, I am never having any}, I would disown him and then proceed to question his mother thoroughly.

Holy ajara remains the purest of all African saps.

I rise!

Court clerk, do the needful.

there is something/some people that should be avoided, a situation of amandi ana eze(because you don't know who your enemy is or who the wicked person is, he or she can be your best Uncle/Aunt or your friends/family friend .

nonsense the only true and natural wine is diabolic... palm wine is a gift of nature and most be used... this Colonia mentality of any thing African is diabolic has to stop... the refined wine or juice they are using that is man made is it not daibolic too....

5% is too much... It's probably one in a million...

Na evil people make us dey fear palm wine because of the exposure. I use Malte even if I didn't like it. But I have to use it.

Why would you take palmwine from your own wife's hand... on your own wedding day... on the same sand where you stand with your father inlaw inlaw & elders... Then you pour it to the ground.?

I rather not marry from that home if i would have to be scared like a little b!tch & pretend to drink the palmy and pour it. That is a coward act. God forbid.

I would drink to the last drop like a man and let it be known that my inlaws killed me like cowards.

AsherAmari:
Op, where and when did all the stomach upsets and death from drinking palmwine happen to the groom? I'm hearing this for the first time.

You prolly saw all that in the movies.

In my place, the culture is still very much in practice and no body has ever experienced stomach upset or died from it.

Dont mind d Op

If nor be palm wine, wetin we gain?

Couples that will be forming holy holy and after wedding be doing doggy

I've never seen any bride that would offer her groom a cup of vodka or stout sef
