baby124: U want them to be severally flogged? I think the tradition might be for those who have reached the age to marry. There is a yardstick and benchmark for this I guess. |

franchasng:Masquerades can go extinct, it is gradually loosing its traditional meaning. These days, masquerades are just traditional SARS extorting money anyhow . Only if they can stick only to their dancing things would have been better. |

CAPSLOCKED: who told u that they sell women? Are u okay? how much did my dad spend to marry my dad? Come to my village and see how much u will spend to marry a wife. I dont know where some of u came up with this rubbish. Even among other tribes, there are families that marriage is very expensive. These things are family based and not tribe based. I tire for people like u. In fact, marry from Akwa Ibom is far more expensive with their list than many igbo families. But u have natural hatred for the igbos. And I hope u also hate Americans becus they also claim that they are the best? Why hate someone praising and bragging about his tribe? Have u sat with an American before? Have u sat with Jews before? Have u sat with a German before? Everyone believe they have the best race, tribe and group, so why must the Igbos be an issue to u? Look at why u hate a tribe, they are meaningless. shame on u 11 Likes |

I'll always respect IBOs. They respect their culture, practice it and often make sure it's being passed down their lineage. Thumbs-up for them. 4 Likes |

donstan18: The person you quoted is not even Yoruba but in your haste to display your inbred bigotry you labelled him so you could attempt to bash the Yorubas. It’s amusing how the wicked runs when no one chases him. Yorubas will always bring out the bitterness in haters like you. And what’s more? We don’t even know you’re so pressed. The elephant does not concern itself with the affairs of the ant. We could trample on you lot and still walk on cos the cries of a cockroach are meaningless. Really, can anyone expect common sense from people who were scammed by Ojukwu and in their old age, along with their grandchildren, Nnamdi Kanu? A man who mourned his dog first before the lives of the misguided Igbo yoots who died for his stupîdity? He is lounging in far away UK while his senseless minions are getting shot and searched by soldiers in the erosion ridden south east. enjoy your wearing cloth ceremony. Let it be a reminder for how your forebears roamed naked, when we were trading with Portuguese and Fulani nomads in Yoruba land. 4 Likes

Aiyk2333: Lol. It appears you are not impressed by the stark truth about your people. Cheer up, Nnamdi Kanu is not done with you. He must perform better than ojukwu. He has not finished with you lot yet. A people inspired by hatred for others would always fall into the trap of scam-artists like Kanu and Ojukwu. Happy wearing-of-cloth day. No lefelendum in the offing for you guys. 2 Likes |

emmaodet: if a culture is not refined, another culture will swallow it. advanced or improved culure is termed civilisation. every civilized society used to practice some barbaric cultural practices but with improvement in ways of doing things certain cultural practices were abandoned, followed by cultural assimilation. if colonial masters had met a superior culture, they could had adopted some of our cultural practices. but they met barbarians. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Jgoldie: Dust I think, the flogging is odd and ridiculous according to Capslocked and the OP mentioned they were showing the celebrant pepper so I don't know why he reacted with insults. Do Igbos not insult Rochas, Ikpeazu etc, why conclude he is a Yoruba man? 1 Like 1 Share |
