Speak for yourself and not Igbo tradition. There is no masquerade that is allowed in Igbo traditional practice to use the whip on anyone.

Masquerades are part of the traditions of a lot of tribes in the south of Nigeria, especially among the Igbos, Akwa Ibomites, Yorubas and Cross riverians. Masquerades are supposed to be reverred and in return the masked people are supposed to carry themselves with dignity, earning greater respect from the people.

In those days, there were particular masquerades that were idolized and heavily fortified and would only appear occasionally. Women and strangers were not permitted to view them, otherwise they would face severe consequences. The lesser masquerades would appear regularly to entertain people and not whip them. That how it’s always been with them, especially in the Igbo land as a whole. The beauty in the whole practice has gone away. Whips were meant to serve as threats to keep people away and not to be used to rob the citizens. Chasing people around was meant to add to the fun of it and not to injure either the citizens or themselves.

Nowadays that myth has been lost because of the irresponsible behavior of the followers and the men behind the masks themselves. They use masquerades to rob citizens. Masqueraders rape women and cause serious bodily harms to citizens. Nowadays we see masquerades publicly engaging in gang fights on the streets. That’s not culture, that’s not tradition. That’s pure foolishness, recklessness and crime. Many of them have died right under their cover. A lot of them move about with daggers under them, waiting to see their perceived enemies and stabbing them to death.

I think by now governments should begin to pass laws to end the criminality of masqueraders and restore the so called cultural practice to the way it used to be. The beauty has almost completely faded away. I hope Governors like Soludo who dealt with those oke ite people can get the likes of aka odo and Agunechemba to tackle those criminals hiding under masquerades.

A girl I am currently seeing is telling me the cost of her bride price is #120 that once I pay that..20 naira will even be handed back to me because she is not for sale. I asked her if that's all for the traditional marriage.. she said from there if we want to do big ceremony it's our choice. I think I am about to be scammed into marriage, something I might regret in the long run.. and I still wonder why her elder brother is still single (in his 40s) if marriage is cheap over there.

I wouldn't want a case whereby after doing that I will be presented an unexpected list of things to provide.

She's from the south.
I want confirmation if this is true

Most guys find it difficult being in a relationship with a girl without sex. Imagine being told to wait until the wedding night, before you can have a taste of your girlfriend.

There's nothing wrong with it, but some girls are known to use it to scam guys. While you are waiting and respecting her decision out of love, she might be busy having sex with a side boo. Girls tend to make themselves look special in the eyes of the man they want to spend the rest of the life with. And not indulging so much in pre marital sex or asking the guy to wait, is one of the schemes used by girls

If you are willing to respect her decision, no wahala. But it's also advisable to taste it before venturing...

Just because Wikipedia said it doesn't mean it is Igbo. I'm Igbo but I'm not familiar with the word. Give an example of its usage in an Igbo sentence if you are sure of what you are saying.
