What brought Igbos into this now? So anyone who says anything bad about yoruba tribe is now Igbo, instead of you to respond to his words about the food you drag Igbos into your sillyness

Nazeren:

They don't serve food in Ghanaian weddings.

Every Nigerian knows how weddings are done in Nigeria with all the owambe and everything. Our west African neighbours are totally different. The first Ghanaian wedding i went to was a very big shock to me. The venue was like 3 hours from school so I went hungry. I thought it's like Nigerian weddings where during the reception you can eat till your hearts content.

Well after all the church buohaha. We were just served 2 buns one coke and one tiny chicken. I thought that was an appetiser and the main course is coming. Only for people to start going and I was told that was the end of it. I was shocked to the bone. After that before I go to any Ghanaian wedding I make sure to stuff up my tummy.

That country is very weird.

When my inlaws came to collect traditional marriage list, after we gave them our list _they gave us theirs. They said their son is not cheap. My dad shock !

We thought it was small something.
As we opened it, it was actually neatly typed and sealed.
Naso we see 1big male goat, 1 big bowl of fufu, kegs of palmwine. They kept on emphasising on the BIG.

I also served in a village in the north (they are neither Hausas nor Fulanis) and I saw several things that shocked me.

1. Women drink more than the men.
2. The children, some as young as 7, attend night parties like crazy.
3. Female children suddenly reappearing and appearing. (they often travel to their boyfriend's place).
4. SS 3 students that cannot spell their names. Many can't even speak English, only Hausa and their local dialect.
5. Young children getting married. A 14/15 year old Hausa girl in JSS 1 got married. Also, another girl in the community got married and pregnant. She was as young as 12.
6. Any man that impregnates a woman automatically marries the woman.

There're a lot but these are few. I was so shocked to the extent that everything stopped surprising me.

Lastly, the children got pregnant anyhow.

THE IBO HEREDITARY SYSTEM

what is the worth of a woman : in ibo tradition, an unmarried woman has no right in her fathers property. not even a say.

even when married and she never give birth to a male child she will not be allowed to inherit her husband property.

the female gender is seen as an object of satisfaction and if she doesn't meet up she is thrown out with contempt.

at their marriage the female gender is seen as a commodity that need to be sold her value tally with the things that the family had spent on her. if she had a degree education her bride price is of higher value. than those without education.

in the Ibo culture when a man cheat it is easily overlooked. but the case of a woman will invoke the curse of god and eternal damnation.

I see this things first hand during my service in the eastern part of the country.

I am of the feeling that the Ibo tribe need reorientation on civil ways of taking care of the child and not to see her as just an object because it is affecting the self-steem of an average ibo lady.

First culture shock I got in the US is the American's informality in their dressing .
First day of class, I was so hyped and I got overly dressed up to class only to find my professor in jean shorts and a T-shirt on a monday morning .. Same thing with my course-mates, almost everyone had shorts and flip flops on, they always dress very casual.

Calling superiors by their name. I still find this very difficult to do after a year. Like how can I call someone way older than me by their first name? Well, That's the norm here.





Other random ones: opening the door for people, I saw a lot of people do this, like they will actually leave the door open till I can get in.
Wedding starts in the evening around 4pm as against Nigeria where we start by 7am and the least you can get as refreshment is either Pasta, mashed potatoes, leaves (salad) and all those nasty oyinbo people's food
The manner at which people stay in line accordingly, I guess I'm used to the way we fight for everything in Nigeria ..
Giving tip to waiters at restaurants
Their form of greeting is either with a simple "Hi" or just one fake smile .....
And a whole lot more! Culture shock is real

Chascop:
qhutetomsel lol.. I can relate.
before I emigrated to the US, I always thought it was a joke ooo until I got to the US. infact, it all started at the point of entry, 2012, I almost referred to the CBP officer as Uncle because it was a middle-aged man. Thank God I realized myself immediately and jejely passed.

Which of the states do you reside. I'm in LA

Mobsync:
The school is located in Anchuna village has over 200 students coming from almost ten villages around the area. The people are dominantly Ikulu but there are about three Hausa families in the biggest of the villages and two Fulani families living in the forest.

4 of the over 200 students are Fulanis, 5 are Hausas, 1 is Hausa-Ikulu, 1 is Ibo, 1 is Idoma and 1 is Yoruba-Ikulu. The rest are Ikulu.
