lẹ́yìn odi means across the border (behind the border, which in other sense, means across one's cultural territory). Nations, tribes, and clans have both cultural and geographical boundaries. You get it...
Affirmative.

Because there is a need for the information and there's been nobody to provide concrete information to the person person concerned
There's a reason for that.

You also didn't mention why the person cant find anyone to give him/her the information, what's the background to this?

Some of these places don't like people enquiring about them btw, especially in matters involving tradition.

Odi is border, boundary, in this case, transborder.
Ok

So leyin odi is when the boundaries are removed.

Transliteration: Àbíkẹ́ migrated to Kano and turned Aboki, a child bears whatever identity she wishes in the diaspora.
True, very interesting proverb/s.

I took the key words to translate the conceptual meaning, the literal one is what you described.

Abike: treasured child

Odi: opposite, tragedy, bad, negative, taboo

Oruko: name , identity, culture, tradition, roots

To ba wu: no longer bound or subject to, law unto yourself, do as you please, whatever you like, no judgement

BarristerAlarig:
Uromi is a village albeit a rapidly developing one. There are no separate villages in Uromi.
He probably meant Uromi area.

That's the reason ghost-moding is sweet...Abike kiri de Kano o d'aboki, oruko to ba wu omo lo n je leyin odi...if you know.
Translation:


The treasured child migrated to a distant place and left her roots, after a tragedy a child or family member is no longer bound by tradition.

This is why anything to do with exes is a sensitive topic.

I assume those of you quarreling, are exes who used to date?

I know most jamaicans feel this way but this is not true.

Slaves were taken from all over west Africa, so why do Jamaicans love to attach themselves to ghana so bad ?
If their ancestry is Ghanaian why cant they acknowledge that? huh

Don't do anything remotely traditional. Do a court wedding and do a church wedding. Shikena. As long as she doesn't do trad marriage, she isn't married

I'd say don't enquire if you're ok as you are.

Why all these enquiries about traditions, especially among traditional peoples?
Christianity Etc › Re: Questions About Circumcision From A Biblical Viewpoint by nlPoster(op): 3:35am On Oct 19, 2019
Question number 1:

Is it ok for a Nigerian Christian to distinguish between circumcised and uncircumcised people?

We have many ways of judging others, should the physical state of their private parts be one of them? How does this fit in with having the mind of Christ?

No smelling jokes or comments please.
Christianity Etc › Questions About Circumcision From A Biblical Viewpoint by nlPoster(op): 3:34am On Oct 19, 2019
Study Galatians 5 and 6
Christianity Etc › Re: Was Jesus Circumcised? by nlPoster: 3:31am On Oct 19, 2019
Galatians

5:6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value


6:14-15
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation

Kai Tpia grin

You just had to copy my narrative on another thread to start this one abi?

Well don't expect a lot of participation because we are a pretentious people and we hardly like to admit such truths to ourselves, let alone others.

Still single, no sadness about an ex I didn't marry because after honest due diligence conversations, our desires/interests never align and we mutually agree to part ways.
Sorry, I wanted to discuss the topic but not on that thread. The quote was to acknowledge the source, it's a sensitive issue for many.

Thanks for your contribution.

Ilamina the way you discuss men from different tribes like a connoisseur. . . as if you dated all of them. . .

In your defence, you also feature women from various tribes too. . .

Re:

A lady . . . married a chronic church goer & pretentiously religious man rather than the military man who genuinely cared for her but wasn't very churchy or religious.

She chop shege for that marriage, the guy's promiscuity and infidelity no get part 2. . . . they were separated and divorce was the next step forward . . .

She (said) she was fooled and carried away by the religiosity of the one she married, thinking military man wasn't godly or religious enough.

Meet the family head and get guidelines so you won't deviate and (somebody) will just go and invoke ancestors
That's my suspicion. Nigerians like quarrels so much.
