It is a taboo for you to be spreading theses taboos on nairaland in this dispensation.
Some of the things you listed above are not even effective as stated.

some of them are not effective today but it was effective in early 90s

I've been reminiscing spending my early years with my granny in the village then and how I got to learn some of our customs and traditions. The customs might sound weird today but it went a long way to hold our community together and foster unity and progress. The westernisation of our culture and traditions has led some of us to do away with some of our customs or traditions which we deem inimical to our Progress and develeopment.
Some things are not allowed or frowned at in Igboland though it depends on the part of Igboland. I will use my village which is in Anambra state as a case study.

1. Its a taboo for a woman to pick or pluck Kolanut from its tree. The Men always love feeling superior and the Kolanut or Oji is a sacred crop in Igboland.

2. Its a taboo for a woman to break Kolanut in the prresence of a titled man. Men will always be men

3. Its against our custom to cook or pound in the night. This custom was made to encourage women to cook early and avoid late gossip. The village masquerade might come and take a goat just for breaking this law.

4. Its against our tradition for a child to cry in the night. The spirits are around then.

5. Its a big taboo to kill the EKE (python) in our place. You might die of swollen and potruding stomach if you don't do the neccassary cleansing.

6. There is this forest we fetch firewood called *Agbor* you are not allowed to fart, spit, poo, urinate, speak ill of the dead, whistle, mutter about something smelling. If you do any then be prepared for *akwukwo nju* to touch you. You will be walking aimlessly inside that forest.

7. Its againts our custom to leave heap of dirt around after sweeping your surrounding, its better you don't sweep at all. If you break it then prepare for soilder ant to come for war.

8. Its a taboo to dance close to our masquerade if you are not initiated into it and its a bigger taboo to be around when *Oji onu* comes out in the night.

9. Its a taboo for women to climb Palm tree, this was done to protect the female folks from the dangers of climbing and remember women are not allowed to wear trouser or shorts which ll make climbing impossible.

10. Its a taboo for a woman to commit adultery, it leads to instant madness but I think the menfolk are not bound by this. ( SMH for the African Woman)

11. We still reverence our deities and if you are summoned for an offence you are bound to appear for its settlemnt even if you are the Pope because the laws of the land still reign supreme and it protects the less priviledge.

Feel free to add yours let's see other taboos that are forbidden in your village.

Zoharariel:
“Speak no ill of the dead” - but A leader must be judged by what benefits or misfortune he has brought to his people. 

The question to be asked is; has Ojukwu brought anything positive to the Igbos?  His record is grim.  The “accomplishments Ojukwu has brought his people is as follows”:

*Dragging them into a brutal civil war they had no chance of winning, and which resulted in over 3 million of them dying.

*Even when it became clear that his people were starving to death in massive numbers, he continued the war which was doomed from the start.

*He fled to Ivory Coast and left his people to die like cockroaches, thereby giving “cowardice” a new meaning & definition.

It is therefore unfortunate that a man who has brought no tangible benefits to his people is so revered by them.

I'm more important to you than your worthless father. Your Dad is a plague that your mum couldn't avoid. I pity your miserable life.


Your father will continue to be a plague to mankind

He looks like one of this homeless guys on the streets of London. A senile police officer was made Oba so I'm not suprised.


You cannot see Ooni making fool of himself like this

Trailblazer1:


His eye service can only fool gullible people like you.

TRUTH: nothing is working in Lagos under AMBODE

What is your opinion on flogging a 17 year old girl. Should it ever be done and if it should why and how?

I think flogging a 17 year old gal is wrong, I've got my younger ones who are with me and I use to talk to them and scold them when they cross the line. I even ground them when the offence is weighty.
I can't lift my hands against them because I don't want to be a lady beater.

I ll marry out of love and understanding than tribal bullshit. Our tribal diffrences is a springboard for us to learn and respect each other more.


Love conquers all

aaronson:
hahahahahahah quit making a f00l of yourself, you don't even know where Isis is based at, hahahahahahahhahaha and you good at history. Well, let me school you a little Mr gullible.

Isis is the amalgamation of the Taliban of Afghanistan and Al-quaeda of palestine to for Islamic state popularly known as Isis which is predominantly based in Iraq. Now repeat after me, Say Iraq, again, once more and let it stick in your shallow brain.

did u say Isis is the amalgamation of Taliban and Al-queda of palestine? I think your naivety about history and current affairs just made me to give up on you. Go look for your type plzz.

aaronson:
its clearly written up in my post that, only people who know facts and history would give hitler props but people such as your type exhibit ignorance with the question you asked.

Hey ISIS recruit, I ll whip your butt on History lessons so take your extremist views to SYria.

Fayose the Lion of Yorubaland

Is that an achievement? Has PMB and his gang collected theirs ? I thought there is Change?

PMB is going senile daily.

The NA needs to release them and pay compensation for the unlawful imprisonment.
Nigerians have sterotyped every northerner to be a BH sympathiser which ll get us into a search for a real natonhood

aaronson:
That first poster said it right, he did nothing wrong, it was a war for protection and survival of race. People who know facts and history would say HITLER was an hero an so with me, Hitler is an hero because without his struggle and fight against the jewish higher powers, the world would have being of communist and fascism giving no room for democracy. Its was a war between Hitler and Rothschild family who wanted to control the world and still indirectly controls the world today. RIP Hitler, you a great Hero.

The muslims love Islam for his jewish extermination. Are you a M........

Hi folks, don't take Femi and Garba serious again because they give false information daily.


How did we allow a gang of PHOOLS called APC to enter our beloved Aso Rock?

BH leader Shekau is more intelligent than Buhari. Shekau got a distinction in Maths and Sciences while PMB got F9. Shekau is using his expertise to make bomb while the dulllard is representing Nigeria as Mr Tourism.
