There is this scenaro that is going on now in imo state, my friend's mom that lost her husband which is the dad to my friend has refused to cut her hair down to skin cut based on the late husband's village tradition. "and for that reason the late husband's family are accusing her of witchcraft and have threatened to seize of the late husband's property unless she cut down her long hair according to tradition, the problem is that both the three daughters and the mom too have being asked to cut down their long hairs to which they all refused, now the mom is thinking of involving a lawyer and the law in the matter because the family wants to seize all the late husband's property, "do you all thinks its right to obey tradition or she should involve the law? "mature comments please!! "cc lalasticlala, dominique, obinoscopy

Sooo Romantic

Let her involve the law

Yes I think she must consult to a lawyer since she received some threats from the family of her late husband...
If she has all these papers that proved her that she owned all the properties of her late husband, I think she can file a complaints against them..

Well, tradition is tradition.

She ought to,haba,atleast to have peace...

What is the point really Custom demand she must,so


Dunno why some people like causing unnecessary problems for their kids.


If the shaving would exonerate her then so be it.

stop yarning dust jare.


21century or not,there are still rural areas who believed in the custom and traditions of old...



At times we ought to let people have the upper hand not because we are quilty but to have peace.



Even the bible makes us to understand that what belong to ceaser should be given,shaving her hair wouldnt cost her a dime.....



Btw why is she even insisting?one would expect that shaving her hair should be the least of her problems....

calm ur tith down

different traditions every where...hmmmm der is no big deal in shaving her hair naa haba d woman might b putting her children in danger dis is African oooo anything can happen, but since d man's family is threatening her den she should do d needful.

I WONDER WHY LALASTICLALA DIDNT TAKE THIS TOPIC TO FRONT PAGE, ITS IMPORTANT

Its not compulsory to cut your hair. If its so why Nnamdi Kanu wife never shave in head.

I'm from Igbo but that tradition is RUBBISH.I don't support it.
