Young Virgins Initiated Into Womanhood In Ogu Town, (OKRIKA) Rivers State by money121(op): 8:02am On Dec 05, 2023
The people of Ogu kingdom in Ogu/Bolo LGA of Rivers State on Saturday celebrated Iria, an ancient ceremony that marks the transition of girls who are usually virgins into womanhood

Young virgins were given certificates by the Ogu council of chiefs for passing through the test.

Iria, is considered a rite of passage for young girls as they reach puberty and begin to mature physically

To pass through the test, the girls must first be virgins which will be checked by women of the town, then they will be kept in a room where they will undergo training on womanhood

After passing through this process, the qualified girls will be given certificates showing that they are now adult ladies ready to marry.
It's an OKRIKA Ijaw ceremony that dates back to the 17th century.

No one ever gave me Invitation for this kind of "meaningful" event but you'd see IVs flying up and down in WhatsApp group for nonsense events. Ordinary notice I no see.
So sad. Nonsense!!! cry
If you attend this event you can go home with a publicly certified virgin, if her puna is sweet, if she's nice and if you are compatible, marry her if she isn't she will start her body count with you. But even if you don't succeed going home with a virgin you manage a publicly certified non virgin, you will join the band wagon of body counts that she may likely not remember your position.

Most girls in their late 20s and above can sincerely not remember their body counts but they will always lie about it. All in all, How man go do?

They all look feminine, it's a good thing that they kept their virginity. One of the benefits of marrying a virgin is that your path is her first path.

Marrying a none virgin is not bad but they've been on another path before aligning with yours, if your path has spikes before the roses she will remember previous paths that had Apples before the bitter cola or other paths she's been before, some men who understand spirituality who marry none virgins take them for marital allegiance which if broken it's instant 😭.

Okafor's law of Congo dynamics confirm my assertion too, especially for men who are not spiritually brutal they become victims. Sad reality!

These ones are not looking young, but if they are virgins they are still more preferable than the bitter feminists and old, haggard, expired evening newspapers roaming like a devil in nairaland.

Nigeria has so many diverse cultures. That is why we are asking for diverse governments. Let the different ethnic subnational groups handle their own public affairs and system of government, most especially in terms of police and military, and you will see Nigeria blooming.
