I see some jealous and bitter Oloshos and their male customers weeping all over the place talking nonsense. Always respect those that did what you couldn't do. Congratulations to them and their parents especially.
Some even say they're not virgins, as if those who examined and gave them the pass are blind.

You will also be among those Africans condemning those maidens that chose to bare their bodies in 21st century.
Are they not keeping to the Ancient African way of dressings?


Abagworo:


This was how all black Africans from Egypt all the way to South Africa dressed for maidens in bare chest until Whites came and made a big deal out of breast. What Reno and his fellow stewpid Africans did was feeling cool for first accepting European clothes before those further inside the coast meaning they lost their culture first.

Africans, Africans!!
the hypocrite Race.
No wonder God, made us Black because of our mind and mentality .

lipsrsealed. See as the solution to paternity fraud boku for here shocked shocked

Lemme start to press my calculator...

Just to know how it'll cost me from warri to Rivers asap...

Marrying any of those girls without traditional wedding ceremony will cost you 1 million naira. Family Requirements

Then doing the final IYA traditional marriage rite will chop over 5 million naira.

Put together you'll spend 8 million marrying her traditionally without proper English reception/ church wedding.

The people of Ogu kingdom in Ogu/Bolo LGA of Rivers State on Saturday celebrated Iria, an ancient ceremony that marks the transition of girls who are usually virgins into womanhood

Young virgins were given certificates by the Ogu council of chiefs for passing through the test.

Iria, is considered a rite of passage for young girls as they reach puberty and begin to mature physically

To pass through the test, the girls must first be virgins which will be checked by women of the town, then they will be kept in a room where they will undergo training on womanhood

After passing through this process, the qualified girls will be given certificates showing that they are now adult ladies ready to marry.
It's an OKRIKA Ijaw ceremony that dates back to the 17th century.

It's an age long practice by the Wakirike-Ijaw people of Rivers State.

Can someone share more insight into okrika culture ,there's not much details online to study with. How do the ladies act. And is the tradition harsh on outsiders married to their ladies.
