Emo ri Uhrobo, ode me yi Eghovokoghene. (sweating)
Oghene me!!!. Uhrobo no easy to write o. Lolz.
So I just thought I should create this thread so as to
1) Learn from Uhrobo elders on NL
2) Connet with Uhrobos on NL
3) Enlighten our Ogos, Men/women who got married to Uhrobo Man/woman.

You will agree with me that Uhrobo has so many taboos that some will make you cringe by just hearing them.
So if you know or have heard about a taboo you aren't sure of, please you can ask and am sure the Elders in the house will tell us if it's a myth or not.
As for me, I have heard a whole lot, but I can only remenber two.
If a baby mistakenly eats its faeces, the mother will have to eat it too.
If a man commits suicide (God forbids) the woman will have to run around the market/village naked.

OP nah I haven't heard of such taboos don't make it seem we are weird
I know of this taboo, if you fall your parents maybe during argument or anything, you ought to kill a goat for him or her


Urhobo wado

E mi oh wado oh

I heard once you are married as an Urobho woman, you must not defile your marital bed or else you will die, l don't know if it is true, let me wait for the urobho women on here to confirm, I also heard that Urobho women are sexually active because of the various chilly spices they eat and they are also good in the department of bedmatics and romancecology

When any tribe in the World is married to an URHOBO MAN. She Don't cheat on the HUSBAND, if she does, she will surely confess on her own and die afterwards.
If the URHOBO MAN is aware of the wife cheating on him and refuses to talk or report the wife to the family and still continue eating the woman's food, the URHOBO MAN will surely carry the cross, he will die.
Dont cheat on URHOBO Husband.

how true is this

Its true

But have made it clear to my family. When am old and time reach to meet my maker? Wherever I and my husband have agreed where to bury me, thats where I will be buried. My children too will be aware of it.
Whosoever in my fathers family that goes against my wish, will have themselves to blame.
They know my mind already.
