[quote author= post=112494127]When we say all of us @[/b],
You should know we are more than one!
If we want to start, Then we will be mentioning multiples of totems.
Therefore, let us leave it at that.
That [b]totem above is the majority from the house of MANNA.
We all wear it with pride.
[/quote]All of you are doing well

But it's still lion head I am seeing, can it be changed to Leopards head

Ladymogana:
i don't understand, you mean if she's your girlfriend or what?

Yes

Even if she is just ordinary friend, I will still knock

[quote author= post=112493857]In igbo land, Agu is Leopard..
The original ISI-AGU ATTIRE of the igbo is Leopard's Head and not the tiger or lion's head..

The leopard was also the animal totem of the Zulu.
That proud people of South Africa remain proud of it.

Our culture is our pride.
We were surprised to see the thread the other day also.[/quote]Oh really?

I know that Igbo language and Yoruba are in the same group and family, they are related.

Now this occurrence of leopard in both cultures can not be overlooked

The Yorubas and igbos are relatives if you ask me

By the way, what's your families totem?
Apart from the general igbos

As we dey hustle, make we no jam Agbako o

Awwww

If the friend is a girl

I will knock

The post about why people pour a part of their drinks on the ground before indulging made me remember that Africans are gradually losing their culture because of urbanization or Europeanization

Every family or clan has a totem and Oriki/ pedigree which is a string of praises/Ballad associated with them particularly

In my family as a true born Aboriginal Ekiti, Out totem is Ekun (Leopard)

My grandfather a chief among his tribe had it painted on the fence in front of his compound.

Our Oriki/pedigree begins with these lines

'Omo Owa, Omo Ekun'
Omo Apoyimokoko....

These phrases explains our origin

Omo owa means, the child of Owa (Owa is another title for a king as seen in Ilesha, Idanre etc)

Omo Ekun means child of the Leopard
(The first king of Akure, another Ekiti town is a man named Ekun)

Omo Apoyimokoko means the child of women that makes pots

So you can see that in African culture, we do not have written records but we have our own way of keeping history. It's through oral renditions.

From the excerpt from my tribe's Oriki you can tell that my forefathers were nobles and Kings while their wives made clay pots and I am related to Ilesha and Akure....

These Oriki/pedigrees are recited during ceremonies in the village especially by wives that are married into the family and they will follow u around blowing u air with a rather big hand fan. You have to spray them money.

Kobojunkie:
Coffee is a drink, not food. Same as Alcohol.

There are many different peppers out there to eat so it is not entirely true that some won't eat peppers at all. Even Tatashe is a pepper.

Weed is edible

Will a kid eat Kolanut, Raw walnut or Orogbo?

Kobojunkie:
Allergies are personal problems individuals may have. That child A is allergic to Peanuts for instance, does not mean peanuts are not safe for children in general.

Weed is edible

That a child may not eat weed don't mean elders can't eat it

A kid may not take coffee but adult will

Almost anyone who won't eat pepper do that for the same reason, it's hot.

Make he no collect souvenir from anybody o before we hear any story that BLOWS the mind

Kobojunkie:
Food is generally that which is safe to eat for people of all ages.

You are wrong.

There's no food that's good enough for everyone

There are allergies and allergies.

Some kids and adults don't even eat pepper

Some don't eat spices

Some don't take sugar

Edible means can be eaten.

Kobojunkie:
child safe?

Edible doesn't mean child safe

Does it?

Kobojunkie:
E.g. Pap, custard, canned milk, soup etc.

Weed can be added to any form of food, it's edible.

It is a warning to keep off

There's nothing spectacular nor spiritual about it, it's just a primitive way of communicating

What if UGM decided to come there and unleash the lion

I do avoid cutting grass

It blisters my palm

Aquaman

Kobojunkie:
Liquid or colloidal?

Kobojunkie:
Well, that maybe the case but it is processed mostly through your bladder and not your intestines, right?

Food can be liquid too

Kobojunkie:
Alcohol is a drink, not food.

It's made from the same plant that makes food

U don't scare me sha

Kobojunkie:
Food is generally that which is safe for people of all ages.

Depends on what u make of the plant

Consider wheat, barley, fruits, cocoa, all these can be used in making alcohol, it's still food too.

Kobojunkie:
Edible? Can you make food you can safely feed kids from it?

What kids can eat is not the meaning of edible

Is it?

Na wa o

U have more than enough

Pay ur dues
