CultureRe: Five Interesting Traditional Dances From Eastern Nigeria by Icon79(m): 6:05pm On Sep 12, 2018
This thread is USELESS without pictures!

.... very useless actually shocked shocked

Revolva:
Historic and traditional dance goes back hundreds and even thousands of years. Nigeria has the treasure of a variety of folk and tribal dances in regions across the country. The eastern region, which consists mostly of the Igbo tribe, have a list of traditional dances performed as a form of emotional expression, social interaction, or exercise, in a spiritual or performance setting, and these dances are sometimes used to express ideas or tell a story. i sharesi a list of top 5 local dances.

Ikpirikpi-ogu (War dance)

Commonly associated with the people of Abam in Arochukwu LGA, Abia State, Nigeria, Ikpirikpi-ogu is a dance of warriors. Originally performed to welcome soldiers back from tribal wars, it exudes an air of valour and is strictly performed by men. Today it’s purely symbolical to show the strength of a community and its conquest over collective challenges. It is performed at key festivals and community events.

Atilogwu (Acrobatic Dance)

This is very similar to performances by cheerleaders in today’s western world. It is known as the ‘Acrobatic Dance” as it requires a lot of quick movements. It is mainly performed by the youth for entertainment at ceremonies or other events.

Mmanwu (masquerades)


Possibly the most popular dance in the Igbo culture, Mmanwu is celebrated across the entire Igbo landscape. In the ancient times, masquerades were seen as sacred as they either represented deities or were messengers sent by deities to deliver judgments or penalties on otherwise powerful people. They were untouchable; feared to be spirits. The Mmanwu dance was and is still featured in most Igbo carnivals, celebrations and funerals including the New yam festival. Their performances are usually vibrant and mobile causing so audiences to move around in order to fully enjoy each. You can experience this popular dance when you visit any of the eastern states.

Nkwa umu-Agbogho (the Maiden dance)

In a bid to attract suitors, this dance which involves rhythmic movements of the chest and waist was performed by maidens who had come of age and were set to marry. It was a key aspect of the Igbo culture and was used to foster abstinence from sexual activities before marriage. In recent times, it is performed as a form of entertainment by young ladies with supple bodies.

Omuru-onwa and Agbacha-ekuru-nwa


This dance strictly performed by married women, generally involves a responsive movement of the body, in a rhythmic fashion to hip-swinging music. Married women and new mothers used such entertaining opportunities to exercise, lose weight, shed baby-fats and stay healthy through weekly rehearsals.

OK, I prolly misunderstood where you were coming from. What bothers me is a girl going around sharing phone number with every dude who looks her way. I think most girls in relationships do that as a form of a backup plan.

Listen to me ladies, guys must surely ask for phone numbers but a responsible lady (married or in a stable relationship) ought to have the decency to say "No, thanks" and keep walking.

Listen, CR7 may not be an average player, if I play as a striker in a side that created lots of chances (Real Madrid), I would score many goals too. What really separates the good from the really good is that ability to take a game by the scruff of the neck and create something out of nothing when the need arises, not being overly dependent on your creative colleagues to create tap in opportunities for you.

That's what separates Leo Messi from Cristiano Ronaldo.


O pari

for your mind....
so Messi doesn't take freekicks and penalties
if Messi stays in the box he will suffer
Ronaldo runs to the box to wait for crosses from the flanks Messi cant even jump one meter high to save his life talkless of heading the ball
he knows what works for him that's why he is not doing that....
do you think it is easy to make off the ball movements being in the position at the right time

Do you think that football only amounts to scoring goals? Yes, he's scoring goals but also making them weaker in other areas because he provides ZERO defensive cover.

And by the way, why won't be the highest goal scorer when he takes ALL the penalties and all the direct free kicks? Plus add the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo only plays on the side of the pitch!

If Messi were to stay around the 18 yard and wait for easy goals, he’ll score 91 goals every season. Ronald is an average player who muddies the comparison waters by scoring high volume of cheap goals.

MissCokie:
Prostitution is prohibited by many countries when done in the open or behind closed doors.

Religious countries like Saudi Arabia place a strict punishment on people caught in the act. Many people uphold the perception that, prostitution is purely against human decency or morality. Even the high and lower class of prostitutes preferred to be called sex workers.

Every year, millions of people planning tourism travel consider countries with high sex workers to spice up their tourist experience ― makes us at postingday.com doubt if anybody hates sex.



Relax your nerves, and grab a cup of chilled water, as we take you on a fascinating mind-blowing experience.

1. Nigeria

The most populated country in Africa is the number one on our list. This is a great location for free/cheap sex. Despite the strict stigma sex workers are faced with, Nigeria is still the hub of prostitution. Recently, a car driver was reported to have been charged to court for not paying a sex worker. This begs the question is prostitution truly not legalized in Nigeria?

The population of divorced women is fast rising in the country, and with such impending advantages, tourists can explore the wider options of pleasure aside the young female prostitutes. Sex in the country is relatively so cheap.

2. Thailand


This is the sex paradise of the world. Sex in Thailand city, Pattaya, cannot be compared with any other place in the world. 3000 out of 10,000 females in the country are prostitutes ― Sex freaks and tourist alike have the upper advantages to explore various options readily available to them.

Patpong and Bangkok are other great places in Thailand to get young and beautiful girls at affordable prices. Another fast-rising venture in Thailand is Gay prostitutes, they operate in the country.

The cost of enjoying sex in Thailand is dependent on the type of prostitute you prefer. Their prostitute ranges from go-go girls (most expensive) to street hookers (relatively cheap).

3. Switzerland

Prostitution is legalized and regulated by the Switzerland government. Sex workers operate in a safe and separate settlement away from the neighborhood. This settlement was built by the government with over $2 million of taxpayers’ money and managed with an annual budget of $800,000.

Although, recently there have been campaigns by various organizations in the country, demanding that the government should ban sex workers practice.

Switzerland is still a good choice for people who wish to enjoy legalized free sex.

4. Germany

Germany unlike other EU countries, legalized prostitution. Nudity is even allowed in some areas of the country. The instant availability of sex can be disguised under the form of art, whereby people who are in need of sexual desires can enroll in the art class, and draw naked women. 1000 out of 10,000 women in the country are prostitutes.

A survey reveals that more than 60 percent of German women have cheated on their partners. Tourists who might want to heighten their sex tourism pleasure can consider here. There is a high chance of getting a free sex from married women, that is if you are loaded with bucks.

5. Spain

Sex in Spain is expensive but worth the cash. The country has beautiful and hot girls, who could knock you silly off your feet and eventually empty your pockets in a couple of days.

In 2015, a Spain judge, Juan Augustin Maragall, ruled in Barcelona court that prostitutes should be given contracts, security of benefits, healthcare, pensions and unemployment payments by brothel owners.

The country law also allows nudity as a fundamental individual right, making it the most liberal country to be nude and enjoy sex in public places.

The truth is, Cristiano Ronaldo winning any Ballon d'Or at all in this era of Messi was a joke that went too far. If Balon d'Or is actually given to the best player in the world, there's no reason why Messi shouldn't have won every year since 2010. Unfortunately, the whole award thing has become too politicized, that's why they have to given a few to Cristiano Ronaldo. But in the real world, those two players are not even on the same planet.

One is a mere goalpoacher, the other one does it all - including scoring as many goals (and often scoring more goals without even trying) then the goal poaching specialist.
