Olamitisoji:
1) Kidnapping your bride
In the Sudanese Latuka
tribe, when a man wants to marry
a woman, he kidnaps her. Elderly
members of his family go and ask
the girl’s father for her hand in
marriage, and if dad agrees,
he beats the suitor as a sign of his
acceptance of the union. If the
father disagrees, however, the
man might forcefully marry the
woman anyway.
Ijaw and part of yoruba practised it but no beating is involved... As for the lady she has no choice than to marry the suitor coz the first task on the eve of the kidnap he must have sex with the lady. If she refuses able body youth are called to hold her still while the suitor do the needful, this act is repeated for a week or two until she calm down or assumed pregnant.

Meanwhile ladies are assign to follow her around

Come on, it is not FOREVER. The pain is not a problem, a week's rest should be enough.

16) Lip stretching
When a girl becomes a teenager
in the Surma tribe of Southern
Sudan, she begins the process of
lip stretching. The girl has her
bottom teeth removed to make
space for a lip plate, which is
increased in size annually.
this is wat i call CaLIPso..

D Lips big die.

you forgot to add corruption in nigeria
The process whereby elected government officials proceed to impoverish the masses voted them into power
And where the docile masses refuse to do something about their plight! That's also corruption.
