You think it was ordinary when Chimamanda ran away from marrying Igbo?

She does not want to use her feminism to drink corpse water na.

Let's pretend we didn't read this. I trust my people from that side, they will deny it vehemently.
Their denial cannot change the fact that is the main reason the wise ones amongst their ladies are rushing men from other tribes.

If in doubt, ask Chimamanda with all her Grammer.

And so? What's bad is bad irrespective of where it happened. I condemn that fully, and the people that did that in Awommamma people should be ashamed of themselves. By the way, didn't you read that it was the women's group of that area that reported the matter? And it was Imo state's government that rescued the women not some SW state. Igbos don't support evil...as societal anomalies are exposed, they are tackled by the powers that be. . That's the way Igbos roll, unlike some regions that immortalized evil and evil people grin
there is no big deal there anyway,since there is no pipe borne water,corpses can be used to purify water for consumption.

Some still deny females inheritance right in alaigbo!

But they still claim they are the most developed and advanced!

As in, drink the contaminated water of an adult human corpse that is full of putrefying bacteria, ammonia, maggots and fecal matter vestiges shocked

This is more than an Ino State Ministry of Women Affairs rescue mission, the Police and NHRC must be involved to prosecute all those involved and help rehabilitate the poor widow.

When you hear the Yoruba proverb that marrying a horrible wife is not as terrible as having horrible in-laws, this is it. In-laws from hell!
May love and marriage not take you into such families and communities with such cultural practices.
Dem say na tradition na.

Yet a lady spoke against how the Igbo culture is grossly unfair to its women and widows, they were deflecting and gaslighting her. As if we all don't know the truth. No wonder it is most times their wives breaking the heads of UNDERAGED helps.

Mynd44:
But if the wife dies, the husband doesn't brink the bath water. The husband can even invite his side chick to the funeral and after some weeks he can marry her because he "needs someone to help with the children"

Sebi some days we were arguing there is no Patriachy…..when we ignore important things and chase minor nonsense, it leaves our bum exposed to the public
it more about tradition..

Come on man, we know of a region where they eat the heart of their dead kings and kill the king's personal assistant. Isn't that barbaric and archaic? Like I said, if evil practices surface , it's condemned and effort is made to eradicate them. Africa is still backward in many ways...no region is spared of that, including the sophisticated ones.

If this can still happen in 2025, just imagine how babaric these villages used to be before whites came

Why be say for east once a rich man die they assume is the wife that is responsible for the husband's demise... What a tradition.

These people didn’t properly evolve, very barbaric and backward man-eaters
Re: Imo: Widow Forced To Drink Water Used In Bathing Husband’s Corpse Rescued by keemsleek(m): 7:00am On Oct 28, 2025
I was telling someone, if they should dig deeper this useless practice is being carried out by the same gender women. They will be the one to enforce it and the one to be shouting she must prove herself with none of her gender supporting her.

Comparing events that was said to have happened in oyo empire centuries ago and this barbaric traditions which are still happening in your states won’t do you any good.

Centuries ago, you said? What is it not recently that some king makers where trying to make trouble over a new king that refused to toe the path of tradition, with respect to those kind of things? Your people are very discreet, I must say...but we all know what goes on...

The Europeans will say Barbarians, Pagans worse than the Aboki rhetoric the Igbo likes to call the hausa or northern man.

This is why SW guys are the ultimate dream and 1st Choice for their ladies.

Why do you think Chioma abandoned school for Davido? grin
Even despite all the maltreatment Davido gave her, she refused to leave.

Government shouldn’t only rescue the woman from the late husband kinsmen. They should make sure the woman and her children inherit her late husband’s property. I’m sure it’s all about the property, they want to chase the woman and her children away with their barbaric acts.
Re: Imo: Widow Forced To Drink Water Used In Bathing Husband’s Corpse Rescued by SURElee(f):
This is one reason why I look away from the east.
Their tradition of ill treatment eh, is unhumane. After this ill treatment, they will strip the widow of the husband's belongings, leaving the widow and their grandchildren with nothing to survive on.
I shake my head for those asking of this tradition is still meted out to widows, stop the pretence jare.


Women who marry men from the east, now I ask myself, the widows dont they have family members to go with them to stop that madness being done to their sisters.

They never see madness.
I blame women who marry and do not build social networks. If a widow connects with the police and military and dem stand gidiga, which smelly umuada go come give her corpse water to drink, beat her and lock her up for two hours in the ambulance with a dead body.

all of them dey mad for that village ni?
And this evil is always done by so-called umuada, which are the females.
Their wahala too much, you born, you no born boy,
born boy kwannu, they will still ill treat you and strip you bare of everything las las as a widow

abegi
Would they do this to a widow who flies her husband's corpse back home for burial, and the one who has to go back within 2weeks because she has a job to keep and a mortgage to pay?
Na the ladies with nothing to their name, naim them go do anyhow.
When we say Ladies, get empowered.
They only want to rush to the husband's house

South east is still practising this dehumanising culture in 21st century? Shame. Disgusting
Re: Imo: Widow Forced To Drink Water Used In Bathing Husband’s Corpse Rescued by freakyavia: 9:28am On Oct 28, 2025
sometimes I wonder how men ho have mothers and sisters sit together as kins men and decide such nonsense if you want to investigate what happens to the normalized indigbo shrine consultation of all the so-called all powerful deities?
Re: Imo: Widow Forced To Drink Water Used In Bathing Husband’s Corpse Rescued by TonyBankz(m): 9:30am On Oct 28, 2025
Actually it's the other way round.
Yorubas are not highly educated. Yorubas have one of the highest uneducated people in Nigeria.
Igbo girls no dey swarm around sw guys like dat... actually na sw guys dey find good igbo girl to marry
Ofemannnu:
This devilish culture still persists.
Very bad.
For girls and women in Igboland,no inheritance,no this,no that,shave head,sleep with corpse and other very wicked practices.
Are you people still clung to the stone age?
No wonder their females are swarming all over SW guys like bees.
Freedom and females live in harmony in the SW.
Yorubas are highly educated people,they don't mess with their freedom and sanctity.

Igbo girls don't want to drink corpse water anymore.They don't want Osu,they don't want to sleep with corpses,they don't want to have their heads shaven,not have their baths for 7 days and so on.
You are just,just wicked.Give them some slack.They are humans too.
