Beads wearing is part of African culture, which has been eroded by imported cultures from the west. Some cultures in East Africa and Southern Africa has some how kept to a large extent this practice. It is unfortunate that we now ascribe so many unkind meaning to bead wearing by ladies. I have seen the elderly women in the village still wearing beads, it is only in the cities that people seem to have funny opinion about it.


You are right. Ghanaian girls start putting on beads from like 1year old and till their old age. It is simply a cultural thing and also cultural belief that it gives their waist a perfect shape.

So many misconceptions about this waist beads.

Ive used it before but that was a very long time ago. And I'll use it for my girl child. Yes.

Now this is what it does, it simply shapens the waist.
Before I bought it, I asked the Yoruba woman, if there is any diabolic indications attached to it, she said no. That though some people buy it and then conjure some black magic into it and use it for evil means. But that the one that comes from the market is pure plane beads.

So I bought 15 rolls, ( I had fat waist. Not tires o but big waist) I tied it and it gradually reduced my waist and made me more shapely.
I stopped using it cos it began to embarass me. You know... After bathing with it for a year +, the thread became weak And so it will just snap on the road and scatter all over the place.
I bought another one and added it, still kept snapping. I just packed it one side.
But it really worked as I can now tuck in my shirts and tops to work and look smart.
That thing is a good shaper. That's all I know about it.

I was about doing one babe the other day when I saw her wait bead. I told her to remove it before action could continue. She hesitated at first but when she saw the seriousness in my look, she immediately yanked it off. Whatever is her reason for wearing it is not my business. I hate it . It is barbaric and primitive.

an elderly last month, told me that back in the day, it was used to check against rape. A man that forces himself upon a lady is likely to rupture the beads which would scatter in his room or wherever. And those beads are tiny and numerous, not easy to totally recover. Sighting of this beads is what was used as evidence in rape claims.
**Ijinle bambam**
In addition, it's a beauty adornment for females to showcase their cultural heritage, family dynasty, etc. Other uses as already mentioned by others on this thread include -to shape and to trained a young girl to her femininity- how to be beautiful from little etc.
Over the years, lots of evils having been sown and grown in the hearts of men (okunrin), all the original uses and intent has been adulterated( use as means for whatever end, eg security, protection, revenge, enslaved, diabolical/cult initiations...)
For the guys that said they were afraid or flee at the sight of beads on ladies, how far/fast can you run? Nowadays, there are invisible ileke, camouflage ileke - you can't see, you can't feel, but it is there gidigba! Watch when that girl didn't fight you when you said you want to.... or after all your roughening her up, she just smile....
Only God can save us all from destroying one another.

False Preachers...!!!
Preaching against African's cultures, norms and values.
On a more serious note, Religion is the biggest cause of these problems we're encountering now.
What's actually wrong with girls using waistbeads??
fieryy:


Exactly! This slave mentality of 'Everything African is bad' needs to end. Waist beads has been a part of the West African culture for a very long time now. Who taught these people to see it as evil?
Re: Ladies, Why Do You Wear Waist Beads? by danfodiojr(m): 5:18am On Apr 02, 2020
Some are wearing those beads for fashion which is not in existence in this digital world anymore, while some are also wearing to aroase some foolish men (guys) and some are using it to capture men as goodluck charm which is evil

My brother, that is not fashion oo, I have made my finds and 98% of those that wear beads nowadays are wayward! Some are pretending that you can't even know that they are wayward.
The question u will ask urself is that how can something wearing under your cloth that is not visible to people is called fashion? No way! They call it fashion because is for men they sleep with to be arouse whenever he sees the bead on their waist. That is, not fashion for all but for men they sleep with. Because how can you call what I don't see fashion?

Not only this, but also there are different type of waist beads:
A. Beads to make manhood strong and not quickly ejaculate. So is that fashion again.
B. Beads that prevent pregnancy
C. Beads that make men arouse quickly and always wish to die for the girl.

My advice for the guys out there!
Please don't try to marry any lady that wear beads oo, even if na pastor or imam daughter, all na SA ka maje!

If anyone on this platform against this, pls he should go and redo his findings.

Don't forget my question oo!
Why something that being wearing under is call fashion?
You're absolutely right, I live in the North , all your points are valid but are all to the advantage of men. Who no like strong manhood, and to prevent unnecessary pregnancy ? I love waist bead

Interesting question and a pointer to how far we are from the traditions of our forefathers and how we have been socialized to view them as evil, as a form of fashion or obsolete. In some cultures, the bead especially around the waist was symbolic - the girl child's status either as the first child, a princess, a virgin, a special child etc It was not fashion,as a matter of fact, when a virgin was raped, she would tear the beads and allow it fall, such that anyone who saw them, knew what was to follow. During the precolonial wars, the Arabs of the Northern parts of modern day Africa called southern Africa " the land of the women with big bottoms" big perhaps accentuated by the colour of the beads and deemed an indicator of the fertility potential of such women - this was why, according to historians, apart from material conquest, the Arabs loved to raid the Southern lands of Africa.

It was these raids that misappropriated the purpose of waist beads that the shamans of our ancestors decided to evolve another use of it and that became the roots of magun (do not climb).As the raids became more daring: bands of marauders initially kidnapping, raping and filling communities with bastards and desecrating the land, to actual conquest - so also the advent of colonialism where our cultural values became materialised and the colonial Lords and those who approved of their ways would avail themselves of women anyhow to sate their lustful pleasures, the bead became a deterrent solution. Desperate fathers, husbands and even some powerful women would lace beads with instant judgement (a typical feature of justice those days)such that if any man was careless enough to get hanky panky without proper rites, the unfortunate fellow, may either not be able to penetrate, may forcibly do so and somersault till he dies, bark like a rabid dog, experience a breakout of scabies,chickenpox, bleed out of his penis hole till he dies etc...Once the cases of such began to multiply, the news began to spread and gradually it became used for anything and anyone.

Nowadays, one cannot just see a woman with a waist bead and assume its fashion, Broda (in Igbo accent) it could be sinister intentions - destiny stealers, home wrecker on the prowl, get in once and you re trapped forever...

It is actually for fashion in those days, but there are more to it this days. Many still use it for fashion, but we have some that use it for selfish reason. It get men arose touching it or seeing it n it is mostly covered with clothes, only their partners gets to see it( those days)
I think fashion is what every body can see ? but this one is covered grin use your number six .

I once wore chain on one of my leg back then, people were looking at me as if I committed any crime ,after sometime I lost it,may be God want to deliver me, I have to question my self, totally dropped it
I wore it as fashion,but the believe of some people is that women that wear it are lesbos, or after men and all sought.
But for me anything that will make people to doubt my kind of person don't worth the stress.

I am presently staying in Osun State and I have seen two teenagers wearing waist beads, one is 13 and the other is 14 years old. I don't want to ask their parents reasons for it, so please help me.

Please ladies, what is the work of it, why do you wear it and at what age is it advisable to wear waist bead?

It's not new, they put it on babies waistline too. It has nothing to do with promiscuity, you have to ask individuals why they use it. No age limit.
