sunmarouk:

this is so true, my mum was accused of adultory, and inorder to maybe escape the degrading punishment, she was divorced(giving ur wife a 1kobo coin in esan culture means divorce). When my dad got to know tht my mum was visiting me, he called me a devil, saying i wanted to kill him, that thank God he doesnt sit or eats in my house whenever he visits, tht he would hv been dead by nw, if he touches whatever food my mum cooked. Long story cut short, my mum eventually died at a very young age. I MISS U MUMMY
No mind the man (your papa) jare. Him no try at all.



RIP Your Momma...

Yeah you are right. Sadly I never heard any feminist movements in Nigeria clamouring for the payments of dowry.Lol



Will you do wifey duties after the dowry has been paid? She goes out to hussle while you handle home front? If yes then I believe many women will gladly pay that dowry

In as much as I respect other people's culture values and ethics.. I see alot of the 9 taboos as bullshit..So husband and wife can't bath together from the same bucket..married men shoukd start commiting adultery(3 months abstinence no be play play...no one should touch a married woman's wrapper(ask those ppl living in face me I slap you if this is possible,don't sit on married people's bed(even if they are ur parent's or people very close to you(basketmouth was seen on lindas bed and there are actually lot's of people this close.


The koko of the matter here is Ethics(do the right thing) and that is fornication is not a good thing.

These taboos only relate to you when you marry an Ishan man!

As an Ishan woman when you marry another tribe, you are free from this bondage! angry angry angry angry

Yes, the taboos are real. I heard em all from my Ishan parents when growing up, and as a matter of fact, my cousins died one after the other because their mum committed adultery. My uncle is still alive because he chased her away, but the children continued visiting their mother and died strange deaths.

I knew I was never gonna marry ishan man sha! Their wahala sef too plenty. Arrogant bunch! They believe that a woman was created to serve them. angry

Almost all of them are similar to a lot of traditions of Anioma tribes in Delta state.

Hilarious story: no. 9 was used by a friend to be mischievous to his wife. He solemnly bought a bucket home one day and placed it in reverent care in their bathroom... where they have a posh bathtub. He refused to answer and waited till weekend when he saw her soaking some clothes in the bucket (she did it deliberately). He then started "raking" and vexing and saying the gods must be appeased by her letting him control the remote control all weekend grin the tout had lost a bet earlier before and she was going to make him miss all EPL matches as punishment. So he used this to get back at her. Those 2 are agbayas eh....

You probably don't want to marry an Esan man because they aren't weak simps who'll let you run them over.

1. Is a pure lie because i stays in abuja and my friends do come to visit most times and stay with us for few days. They used my wife wrapper to cover at night. Is fully accepted unless you have and interior motive. Is not forbidden in Ishian culture as you portrait

2. In Ishian once you are married nobody cares when you sleep with your wife. Anytime is allowed. No time is restricted and you are even encourage by both families to do it quick so that you can start having children, because that's the only problem I can't find in Ishian marriage. It is expected once you are married children should follow

3. Here to a large extent you are correct but no barbing of any hair and if the woman didn't confess on time she might loose her own life but for that of the children that had been revised and if the man or his suspecting the woman at all without telling his elders the man may also loose his own life. But if the man didn't know or suspect the wife in anyway he had know problem

4. If the woman confess to the husband alone without the husband family, the husband may loose his life. Once the woman confess to the husband or the husband suspected the woman at all he had to quickly alert his people and explain to them. If the woman didn't really do anything contrary she will be set free instantly and given some advice not to indulge herself in such unholy behaviour and sometimes the man will be punish for suspecting the wife. But once a woman indulge in the act and she confess and the husband still agreed to take her as his wife that's why they performed that ritual, naked the woman and takes her round the village by the women. Note : this is not a must but depending on the circumstances

5. Hmmmmmm, I understand why you missed this. Once the word cross a woman is mentioned in Ishian what everybody believe is you have slept with the woman. That's doesn't mean mere walking across a woman's legs is a taboo. You can walked across a woman's legs but you can't cross a woman (sleep)

6. That's is arm robber lie. This is just lie, if you steals your husband's money is between you and your God. Nobody cares, is not a taboo

7. Not truth at all. Anybody can sleep on your bed. Is not forbidden at all. Sometimes if the heat is too much I bring my foam outside and share with my friends. Is not forbidden if you wish to share with anybody. Fully accepted

8. Yes is forbidden if only you say it out. Is not a taboo, is just that some men used it as a means to punish their wives. No sting attached so long the man didn't announce the woman

9. I only had of this but never witness it. Even strangers bath with the same buckets th couples bath with

10. Sorry I just help you to number this. Is a lie my friend. Nobody tells you when to sleep with your during and after birth. I had a cousin whom first child is barely 11 months old and the have given birth to another baby. Am seeing some Ishian marriage attires on this your post and I believe if really you knew that couple very well it will help to provide an answer to this

At all!

They are actually proud and overbearing, and the last thing they will do is let a woman run over them. They want to lord over you and be worshipped! Arrrgh!

Re: 9 Marriage Taboo Ishan People Have That Will Amaze You by Nobody: 6:10pm On Feb 24, 2016
The curse of adultery has been modified. Before, the household falls ill and her 1st son dies. Now the household falls sick until she confesses or is forced to. If the husband out of shame or love conceals it not allowing her perform cleansing, he dies. Happened to my elder brother 2 years ago and he died. I'm still baffled till today if it's the curse, a coincidence, or opportunistic strike from strong men for our village to put the death on his wife's adultery.

Reason y their women hardly go outside tho d d writeup is not tru...... No 3: wen a married woman commits adultery it affects d husband not d children. wen a woman commits adultery d husband should stop eating her food else he'll die except he agrees to still marry her den d normal ritual. mind u d ritual doesn't entails blood

Looking at the laws, you would think it's only women who exist in the world.A lot of oppression and hatred towards women.

Thank God for feminism and education that has been teaching women that this treatment is wrong and should not be tolerated.

Everyone should be held to the same standards and should be treated equally regardless of their genders!
Feminism is rubbish.
You want same standards and equal treatment but still want men to open doors for you and to do all the hard work.
Thats called double standards
