Lol when osisi sees this thread eh

Hiding behind Gamine isnt gonna help you

The fact that she had to be the one to tell you WHY people build houses in the village is very embarrassing

But she just mentions the Tribes, shes heard or seen it from

if it happens elsewhere, you too. mention it

If she didnt end up arguing with those who tell her otherwise, then there wouldnt be any problems.

Romeo said Igbos arent the only ones who send corpses home, yet she still argued with him saying otherwise like she would know more than a guy who's actually Igbo

One doesnt even have to be of a particular tribe to know that bringing bodies home is a Nigerian thing esp the older generation

"Born on this soil, Buried on the soil"

I ignored it on purpose, tpia

Gamine, it's not that anyone doesnt agree these traditins should be abolished, it's the fact that she;s giving each one a tribe like it only happens to particular tribes and it's not true.

I sense another a banning

How else will Nigerians get to feel important, omoge 

Seeing that people still get "knighted" in the UK so I dont see Nigerians leaving titles anytime soon

PepERSprAY:
Why do you like blind arguments. Polygamy is practiced in Nigeria. there is no indication that other cultures we condemn here cannot be seen in South america or asia or even Africa. I'm tired of juve's.

and Im tired of retarded imbeciles.

Are you daft? This thread is about 'dirty NIGERIAN cultures", if anything polygamy now is MORE Islamic than traditional.

as for "no indiction", the fact that NIGERIA wa splaced in the title is enough to say that. Get a grip Funmi.

Polygamy isnt "Nigerian".

Igbos arent the only ones who fly corpses home. I think that's a Nigerian thing in general as in "I want to die in my land" kind of thing

anyway osu needs to be banned. There are still people who wouldnt marry them because of the stigma

Blaming wives for "lack of heir"

Tribal marks, definitely

Female circumcision, definitely

Treating widows like lepers is another.

don't have children then abi?

In the economy of now, who can afford being in a single income home? Or should they now start carrying the kid on their head to work?

and i don't know why people keep making up stories of "negative influence". Since when is being around other kids known as "negative influence"

Funmi give it a rest

Your survey means nothing because you always claim this and that and you have no true ties to such vllages.

Since you want to claim that Chiogo isnt Igbo (LOL), are Agaba, Gamine and David lying too?

Make I hear word. Better learn something instead of dying in the pool of denial.

PLus no where in this thread did anyone say it STILL happens(please quote anyone who said so), wouldnt surprise me if it pops up every now and then like tribal marks. Point remains that it was once a big tradition. It was the denying that it ever happened at all, that caused the issue.

Where's Aloy o, unless of course he too wants to claim that everyone else is lying. Were.

@plus_Queen, I can't believe you never heard about the bath water crap. You always seemed to know so much about the igbo culture. Anywayz, it pretty much happens, I don't think it still happens now though, maybe in uncivilized villages. If you watch old school nollywood movies(when those people actually made good movies), you'll see a lot of such scenes. I know nollywood movies are fallacies sometimes but my parents confirmed that practice also. It doesn't happen where I come from though but yeah, everybody knows it is(was) a practice in some parts of igbo.

Now you people are coming out. O ga o. when the world was saying I was making things up, everyone else was silent

SA is pathetic.

olodo, if you wan show pic of inside your nose, make sure boogers arent there  

I used to serve him amala.

I use "phonetics" in my buka

where do you live?

The case for me growing up wa sthat they were *nazis* when we lived here but when we were sent to Naija for secondary school, we could do whatever the hell we wanted

Apparently they believed roaming around in Naija was safer than in the states. Plus you are around fellow Nigerians so they're no "negative influences", yes parents can be that naive.

Ok Nigerian accent is definitely better than Ghanaian

What's your name

Blah blah

Oh that sounds so unique and pretty.

It's like abeg shut up.

Indian accent isnt funny/. It's the fact they shake their heads like they are playing ludo in their brains that is hilarious

Osisi I maintain they are worse than us jo.

it's the douin souf accent I can't stand!

which one is this

Na British Nigerians that are guilty of this rubbish

The smuggled container finally gets them there and its innit this innit that.

You don't want to know how many times I was told not to speak Yoruba by people this summer

This from people who got there yesterday while I've lived 90% of my life in the states.

Went to one resturant and I asked for water, the woman just kept asking me to repeat myself. I just stared at her for 5 mins and told my friend "sofun were pe mo fomi" (Tell this lunatic I want water) 

Abegi jare. Who has time for pretense.

[quote author=*Morenike link=topic=187592.msg2991068#msg2991068 date=1224898852]I hate hate hate the jamaican accent. When my best friend speaks, am like either speak english or dnt talk talk to me. It's so annoying.[/quote]I'd rather that they dont even talk sef

Lmao Boston accent ke? Those people sound like sheep.

Her husband is german? alabajooooooo  

germans

Oh jenny you're biased. You know they sound like they have 150lbs of mucus in their throat  

Hausa sounds nice to me, agaba  

French is sexy. Italian is sexy. Dutch? Um No.

How is it a gneralization if I heard them speak and giving my own personal observation? It sounds terrible to MY ears

says me?

Like their tongues are choking them to death and they spit everywhere

People make fun of German accents all the time

or is it just me?

The German & Dutch sound terrible

Where were you people when I was accused of making this up to make Igbos look bad? Like worse doesnt go on in Yorubaland. Infact it does happen sef

At least that one is only done if the psychotic family suspects the woman.
