so people still do these kinds of stuff in 2019

hopefulLandlord:
let me also add that we should do away with the belief that a mythical Jew who was killed by three nails in a small Israeli village aeons ago died for the misdemeanors of the citizens of a country located off the coast of west Africa.

we should do away with the nonsensical and idiotic belief that snakes and donkeys once talked and a virgin gave birth

believing a valley containing lots of dry bones that's been there for years was given flesh and blood and they all rose (where did those raised bodies go from there?) is also as stupid

Believing that some conman named Jacob got his plain skinned cattle to look at stripped trees when copulating so they can give birth to stripped cattle and it worked!


All these nonsense should be thrown into the trashcan where they belong

Was Jesus truly a mythical figure? Did you know the Jewish historian Josephus mentioned him?

Jewish Antiquities 18.3.3

Second, in Book 20 there is what could be called a passing reference to Jesus in a paragraph describing the murder of Jesus' brother, James, at the hands of Ananus, the High Priest.

But the younger Ananus who, as we said, received the high priesthood, was of a bold disposition and exceptionally daring; he followed the party of the Sadducees, who are severe in judgment above all the Jews, as we have already shown. As therefore Ananus was of such a disposition, he thought he had now a good opportunity, as Festus was now dead, and Albinus was still on the road; so he assembled a council of judges, and brought before it the brother of Jesus the so-called Christ, whose name was James, together with some others, and having accused them as lawbreakers, he delivered them over to be stoned.

Jewish Antiquities 20.9.1

Go back and read your Old Testament very well.
If there were no other gods in ancient Israel, why was YHWH always sending them prophets ? ?

Do go there...
I have read and re-read the entire bible. Be specific so that I can respond accordingly...
I'm not a gullible Christian... I'm so rooted and built up in Faith...I don't owe you any apology for this.

For you to be a good Christian, you must understand and imbibe the culture of the Bible wholly.

Terrible blogging. Absolutely terrible!

OkoYibo:
Show us the part that makes Igbo women to drink the water used in washing the corpses of their husbands.

Show us the part that justifies depriving women of inheritance rights.

Lots of Igbo customs are backward and need to be changed.

Just one verse from the book of Ezekiel >>>

Ezekiel 36:25 New International Version
"I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols"


The Old Testament is full of 'idolatry' my brother.
That's why prophet after prophet were sent to remind them about their covenant with YHWH: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos etc etc

It’s called Nkuchi. It helps to keep the family name. It has its ups and downs like everything in life.

dotunbidemi:
if it's your mother or your sister, will you allow it... You this smelling people

SMH..

In fact.. ori e ti yi

foolbuster:
Negative what? Did she tell you she was forced? Your type will even force your sister to do it if the family was very wealthy.

Besides its not as you think it is. Dont just mouth off about what you dont understand.

Fool

immhotep:
But you are silent about those cultures that use womens underwear for rituals.
And the many women used for human sacrifice in other tribes.

Receive sense abeg.

Those are crimes


You are now comparing crimes with cultures

Elemosho478:

You are now comparing crimes with cultures

You are now being evasive, my brother.

Where Dem dey.......? The online agitators.
Why won't they come and behold the wonders of their traditions or is this not something to be proud about?
Where are the slurs and insults usually used to acoste those who are not mistakenly from your tribe
Wondering how they will twist this to suit their political correctness and idealism of perfection
If not for wisdom local man would have been a hater

I know of the Levirate marriage, at least it happened in my community back then.That was the only one I have personally seen, it is rare.I doubt if it still happens these days.But the one in the BBC documentary, I am just hearing for the first time.I don't think it is the same as Levirate marriage.Igbo culture is quite rich.However, a lot should be done away with

Believing something must be true because its found in a book written by ignorant goatherders who had no idea where the sun went at night is pinnacle of stupidity

see how you finished her off. Be merciful please. These stories give some people hope in times of despair

I can say that Igbos belief is more worst and disgusted than d Yorubas
