Abbi? Hmmnn... E be like say I don't jam my in-laws for here. Ajee and otofe to all of una oo.

It's a taboo to eat PUSSY in my culture

buygala:
Chopping another man's wife is a taboo in my village ...''chopping" as in ''fvcking"....

But i understand that in some parts of Benue State, men give out their wives and daughters as Kola to visitors ...as in if you are spending the night in his house, he can delegate one of his wives or daughters to keep you in satisfactory coital company overnight....

Point is....one man's meat is another man's poison

I have been getting some mentions telling me the Benue tradition I stated above isn't true...

Up till tomorrow, adultery is not prohibited among the Tivi tribe in Benue State..there, you cannot be convicted for knacking someone's wife...

If you think I am lying, please find and read the cases of Apiko V Ikogi and Tofi v Uba, the latter having been decided by the Nigerian Court of Appeal..

For ease of reference, here are the cases' Court citations:

Tofi v Uba (1987) 3 NWLR PT.62 P.723 PARA A-H

APIKO UNOGWU V GABRIEL IKOGI-APPEAL NO. OHC/19A/2008

And this one thinks he has sense? Why delve into what u practically have no knowledge about. U probably went to dig well in Benue State and so think u have known everything about the TIV people!!!

LION

Right now, there are no actual "wild" lions in (southern) Nigeria. So they wouldn't be considered a food source.

koonbey:



Adultery is only a crime in Northern Nigeria, Bros. The ratio in those cases you cited weren't limited to Benue state alone. You can also see Aoko v Fagbemi.

Throughout the country (except where the Penal Code is applicable), it's totally legal, so this doesn't prove anything about the Benue tradition.

The facts of the Tofi case was strictly based on Tiv custom....Tiv custom does not criminalize Adultery....You can go argue otherwise with my Lords at the Court of Appeal....

Whatever you are saying on other customs is strictly your business not mine and not within the scope of my comment here

I spoke about the Tiv....and that's where I end the discussion

I've never eaten snails, will never knowingly eat them. If one unknowingly eats them, you're supposed to induce vomiting. If you can't, you're to go for ceremonial cleansing.

I'm Ukwuani too, only a few years ago that my dad gave the nod to eat snail, now only the man who always hated seeing snail cos my neighbor then sells snails, now buys for my mum to make stew with it!

Sorry it actually reverted sha, ur name is Emiola Benjamin Ayodeji right?

BBWLOVER:

you be infested meat na

It's like your accused ancestors have started fanning their biabia with your picture. Do the world a favour and lie down on the path of a moving train. That way we can be rid of your pestilential presence. People like you just occupy space and consume valueable resources while adding absolutely no value to the society. You should have been aborted instead of being unleashed on this world to be a pest, a leech and pus-filled boil on the ass of humanity.

You are cursed. Get thee behind me forever, unfortunate creature.

No idea what you're saying, is your comment for whoever bumped the thread.

That was me, but you seem very beefed, prior aggravation from somewhere perhaps?

King rat (okete) in Yoruba
Ikoyi Ile people are forbidden to eat it
We believe our ancestor onikoyi himself turned into it
So we are forbidden to eat it to prevent us from eating our ancestors

Food with no salt for 8 days for a woman that just gave birth( Yoruba call it obe Ate), i heard if someone dare it, the baby will die

9 days for boy baby and 7 days for girl baby.
Basically 8 and 6 oyinbo week days.

No salt, no pepper, no meat, no oil. Only black soup with uziza.

An Eastern Yoruboid tradition in a small part of Edo State. The consequences used to be severe if not observed. But village dwellers still observe it till now.

It was a curse placed by the warrior prince when his senior oloris maltreated his favourite and young wife when she had a baby. The prince was away at war. The jealous oloris connived to give the new mother poor food against the Prince's instruction to give her sumptuous food.

The prince returned to find her malnourished.
On learning about the maltreatment he placed a curse that all new mothers must eat food without oil, salt, meat, pepper and such for 9 or 7 days depending on baby's gender.

It's not too disimilar to Oba Rengenje and Oronsen case in Owo history. An event celebrated during Igogo festival in Owo every September.

Female adultery is still very serious matter in that part of Edo till now.

Some will label it rubbish especially those without much culture in their place of origin. But seeing is believing. They won't believe since they haven't seen it.

Well,in my place cocoyam is forbidden. I dey chop am steady for my house sha, when dem do sacrifice with cocoyam I no dey there,wetin I no know,no go know me. Besides,how I'm a suppose to cook "akidi" without cocoyam? Cocoyam all the way!!!
