bin the fact that you are a woman ....you can't tell if these young girls are virgins or not...Yes you can't tell.....

you are not a virgin doesn't mean others are not...save your crankiness for another day


So which of them there would you like to go and marry?

When you have a daughter would you like her to be paraded like this?

They look older than first menses. The girls are supposed to be 11 - 13 year olds. Nice to see henna is a West African thing not a Muslim thing.

Henna is indeed a muslim thing, where you find muslims is where you find Henna.

But this isn't Henna, it's Uli.

So you believe these girls with their full breast and very curvy hips are virgins?

Perhaps so, if and only if they have not come across the red Pillers. grin

The truth is, this is only an effort to preserve and project a dying tradition. Obviously these are not virgins. I'm a woman and I can tell first hand.
So this people celebrating them are fools only you have sense, Nigeria youth always think they know better than others

How does this having full breast and curvy hips shows someone isn't a virgin?
jmoore:

Full breast and curvy hips are characteristics of women who are not virgins?
Dumb analysis!

You all know what she's talking about. According to Nigerian male logic, big saggy breasts are a sign of promiscuity. But on this thread you are all singing a different tune

You better dump your fiance and find a new wife. Remember that you must marry a woman you personally disvirgined yourself grin

The truth is majority of men can be easily deceived. It's their natural trait to be easily deceived because they are mostly very superfacial.

Once you see they see their first menses, they will walk Unclad to the village square and It's a big occasion for
the family which they are brought out to dance in public like this to be sprayed money; then Men can now go and book them in the room for marriage.

.they didn't send you to start olosho business at the age of 14, so keep your frustration to yourself. Those girls undergo certain checks/test before they were allowed to joined the group, some of their mates were among the spectators that day because they failed the virginity test. If you are so in doubt, get your things ready and travel to okrika.

Stop generalization.
It's not Nigerian male logic but some Nigerian male logic.

We have different body type, someone with parky boobs, I doubt if it'll ever fall.
