Ajayiawo: Point of correction: Point number 4 , The TRANSLATION of 'OKETE' in English is RABBIT and NOT Grasscutter.

Jennydoris: Same here. Some igbo land have abolished OSU(OUTCAST) yet some families don't like giving out their female children to an OSU man or a man Marrying an OSU woman. In my town I heard it has been abolished but with the way people isolate themselves from them one will think that they have EBOLA. Every other taboo may be abolished in igbo land including the osu but this OSU is something that people can't just let go because of the stigma that comes with it. In my village if a man is coming to ask for your hand in marriage your family will make sure that they get a very good information concerning the man's family especially if the man's name(surname) is NWOSU or NWAGBARA , the man's family will also make enquiries about your own family. Nobody wants to live in isolation after the marriage.

EroZA: they were invited

by who? TB?

Isiterere: nope , you're missing it; Antelope is IGALA(very big like goat but with a distinct horns ) while grasscutter is OYA (bigger than Mouse-OKETE and rat-EKUTE or EKU or EMO)

ALL IZZ WELL

r231: Speaking of asss........

honor2011: Okete is not Grasscutter. Okete is just a big rat.

prince133: Just forget yoruba's rubbish cultures...they are very dirty set of people

IYANGBALI: There is also this one,once a diick comes out of a kunt it must bend its head to say thank you,whether the kunt is sweet or not

Isiterere: Okètè or EWU should be MOUSE because GRASSCUTTER is OYA


ALL IZZ WELL

Jennydoris: Scary Taboo especially Numbers 4 and 7 . Then No 9, seriously that dog is a demon .







Here are the Taboos and consequences in Igbo Land.


ADULTERY; When a married woman commits
adultery,she is likely to run mad and the husband is
liable to die if he eats her meal knowingly.When a
married man commits adultery,he is likely to have a
set-back in his business. (I heard this from an Arochukwu woman, Arochukwu is in Abia State)

TEENAGE PREGNANCY; This happens when a young
girl gets pregnant outside wedlock. It hinders the
young woman's ability to get married and when she
eventually gets married, she is either married as a
second or third wife OR married to an old dying Man though some of them are still lucky to get married to a young man that has not married before.

MARRIAGE BLESSINGS; If one gets married without
consulting his/her parents for blessing, problems
such as Barreness,divorce or death are bound to
occur while the man's business may wreck.
(except for orphans mind you)

HAVING intimate RELATIONSHIP WITH SIBLINGS;
This is considered as the Highest taboo,the
consequences are Epilepsy,blindness, being deaf
and dumb,poverty or even death might occur.

KILLING/EATING OF CERTAIN ANIMALS; Some parts
in Ala Igbo consider the killing of Python, monkey,
Cats, Alligator, Vulture, Bats as taboo. This might
attract a fine from the victim. Consequences are
Poverty and Death.

OSU; This is another highly respected tradition. An
Osu is someone who is considered an outcast
because he/she is owned by the gods, as a
result,no one is expected to have any dealings with
an osu in terms of marriage or business. Women
Osu are known to remain unmarried till the rest of
their life or marry late or marry a man who is also an OSU. While male osu are known to
be poor. (I don't know how true this is because I know many OSU men that are very very rich, I mean very rich).

USE OF LEFT HAND; you shouldn't eat,write,Give or
receive with your left hand. This is considered an
act of disrespect and highly frowned at. It has no
Consequences but it's better you write or eat with left hand but not to give or accept with the left hand. It shows sign of disrespect especially if you're dealing with an elderly person.


NB: some of these listed taboos have been obliterated especially with the emergence of Christianity and education.

1goodman: I strongly disagree wt point no 1: the ologotun of ogotun-ekiti is the only king that can look inside his crown...
I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong.

Jbluv55: yes sir it is .

Jbluv55: yes sir it is .

Odilafta: no qualms
gimme a cup of hot tea and kulikuli

seunlayi: there is an urgent need to create "dislike" button because the likes button is really helping us to know if we at making sense and the dislike button will help people to know when they at becoming av nuisance

Obinoscopy: She has been banned for a very long time. I referred her to ur post to see the evidence. Please don't edit it.

As regards Gowon, I think he also deserves a ban for making unsubstantiated and unclear claim. We don't encourage tit for tat here

Jbluv55: No need starting another thread bro since the former was locked down.

Jbluv55: Baba na work o. The thing just dey make me vex so tey I wan fight.
