It pises me off when I see the way some fellows thinks. Some just dish out comment like a programmed robot being controlled by religion indoctrination.
Op, the bias is deeply rooted in traditional religious beliefs and myths, especially in this part of Nigeria. Often times, people with dada are tagged negatively in likes of mentally challenged person, Yahoo guys, mad person.

These superstitions and beliefs ignite fear and portraited evil in the society which have been deeply entrenched into people's mind and certain religious group renforced the belief among their followers. Only certain people who questioned their culture and belief become emancipated from their culture and religion dogma.

So if you like dada hairstyle, feel free to go make one for yourself. Dreadlock is the style name. Basket mouth, Olamide, Rema, Flavor, formal Psquare, Zlanta once rock the hairstyles and some are still rocking it. No spirituality, no cause, no negativity, it just vibe, trend and lifestyle

Chai! the best comment i ve ever come across on nairaland. 1 dozen bottle of Jack daniels whiskey and 1 kilo of weed for this guy!! if only more nigerians thinks like you, nigeria would have been better than USA, America and switzerland.

Everytime i am in nigeria people single me out for just looking trendy with my dread.

Those who live with Dada people will tell you that they are weirdos. There's is something mystic about them... always something which you can't be able to point out... And the lingering strange feeling that they are somehow special in some sort of way. My niece is Dada, my husband niece is also Dada. Each time they stare at you, it's disconcerting, you get the feelings they are looking into your soul.

Would have loved to reply the poster above but looking through his statements again ,one can hear the uninformed religious society speaking as usual, coupled with his escape clause about carnal minds not being able to comprehend. Smh.

To others reading this, Man is not just a PHYSICAL BEING of meat & bone. He has other bodies, up to 7 to the best of my knowledge, now the black man is more naturally attuned to the spiritual realm than the other races and as such possess different gifts that other races have to train hard to get. The white garment churches know the usefulness of that type of hair even if they eventually chose to pervert it for their own uses. Ever wondered why Moses, Elijah & most prophets are portrayed with very long beards & long hair? It is based on the same premise. Find that out and you'll get your answer. The black man's bane is ignorance, preferring to ignore his soul, his roots & identity for a pseudo one and then turn around to blame the world for treating him like turd. Knowledge is really power & the black man unfortunately is not ready to learn anytime soon.

Are you a student of Yonggi Cho's school of thought?

she is a prophetess that is why people consult her for spiritual problems, but she can not preach nor lead the congregation in the church service

Okay thanks

GodPunishBiafra:
IT IS ABSOLUTE RUBBISH!

IT IS DIRTY!


I HAVE COLLECTED MORE THAN 100 SAMPLES OF THE NONSENSE DADA FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE FROM ALL WORKS OF LIFE TO ANALYZE.

(The so-called natural ones)

WHAT I USUALLY FIND ESPECIALLY UNDER THE MICROSCOPE IS RUBBISH!!!

Please elaborate

Xavfra:


All these so called religionists will be attaching nonsense to nature....

Why people with dada fall sick is because of attachment....

It happens to me when ever I cut my hair or nails....

A part of me does like it has gone out ....

It's because I got attached to my nails and hair that's why all those sickness like stiff happens.

Brainless idiot ...even with the Dada on you you still don't have any thing sensible to share with the world... Lagoon looks good on you

Born with seven DLocks from start, have extra ordinary strength than everyday men, feel and know real love when its around, sense danger from afar even when not seen and I solve challenges with ease.... I am 39 and still growing in all forms, I am most times solitary but friendly I AM DADA FROM BIRTH and I AM NOT WHAT YOU GUYS ARE SAYING, I AM MORE.

The best and surest adviser is the Holy Spirit, however with little knowledge about dreadlocks, there's a comma somewhere, if you have a child with dreads, prayerfully cut it, that is why most believers cut their children's hair before dedication, the words I write are not comprehendable with a carnal mind, they're spiritually discerned. God bless you.

this guy funny sha. What's spiritual about dreads that is making you feel like a prophet?

Even with your deficient knowledge about it, you are still proud.

I was born with dreadlocks on my head. Mum said I was sick to the point of death. It was later barbed in a church. A man till today calls me dibia (native doctor) whenever he sees me but I warned him never to. I am a soldier of Christ.

Oga calm down, you are everything you say you are and it's not because of dada. If you decide to cut it, it will not grow back. There is nothing special about dada! It is just hair that tangle

So many things are attached to Dadas
Spiritually, religion wise and custom and tradition wise

Samson was a nazarite the first in the bible, he was powerful, he even shared some characteristics with Jesus Christ in the bible, Angel announced his coming, By birth Jesus was not from nazereth but because he later lived there when he was growing, we still call him Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Not only in white garment church that have Dadas even some other traditional beliefs like sango worshippers. But just that the white garments churches know their important than most other churches.

I have witnessed an events where two families of different religion beliefs gave birth to a son who had dread, the man insisted it must be caught because of his religion belief while the woman said not yet time cos of her belief the woman ran with the baby as they were yet to marry after some few years the family reunited the man's father requested the boy should visited him the man cut the dread the boy instantly turned an slowpoke before intervention before he was restored.


Generally the dadas are not ordinary no matter what but most people don't know how to take care of them and anybody can give birth to them, I have a neighbour who has no tile with white garment and not even Yoruba but gave birth to Dada and she is even been disturbed by her church people.
So what we don't know or have idea about we should not just conclude like it is affiliated to marine kingdom that is false what of those hair cuts or styles that we are seeing and not talking about

MistarT:
Few hours back I was pondering within me about this same "dreadlocks" well my take is dreadlocks has been hijacked, Samson was a frontliner as regards dreadlocks but that was God ordained however today the Marine kingdom and their subsidiaries (using the name of church) have hijacked dreadlocks.

everything you don't understand becomes devilish. How narrow-minded

MistarT:
Okay, Good to know, u earlier asked a question, only for you to come and say otherwise. Dreadlocks is not a fruit of the Spirit. If you know the TRUTH. He (Jesus) will set you free, you see unless the Light shines darkness will forever rule, unless the world acknowledges Jesus as Messiah, the whole world will be on one chance, I de tell you.

Oga, if you don't know what to say regarding the question please keep quiet.

silverr:


Lol, you sound like a pained dada.
Dada hair is synonymous with dirtiness and propagated by unclean/marine spirits.
All mad people left alone have dada. That a normal person chooses to have dada says alot about your mental state and no! I refuse to be cool with seemly normal people who aspire to be like mad people. That's my opinion. Deal with it

And the fact that you are overtly concerned about someone else's looks says a lot about YOUR mental health. Also for the record, you can shove your opinion up your arse.

MISTAICEY02288:
Hmmm oh well from my own little understanding, Dada is a natural hair that comes with some children. When I was younger, I heard pretty much stuffs about those who are born with such hair type that they are mostly special and blessed beings. I even heard that if a person with this hairstyle attends a white garment church and later decides to cut off the hair, some sorts of rituals must be performed. I heard they usually make use of animals like goat, ram etc to be killed. I had a friend in secondary school then who was on a fine low cut. The day he told me he was born a Dada, I never believed him at all cos I had always known him with low cut. Then one day, I went to their house and he brought out their old photo album and low n behold, he was actually on a very thick and long dreadlocks (Dada) when he was younger. So he also confirmed the white garment church stuff to me...


There are also artificial (Man made) dreadlocks nowadays. People make dreadlocks at Salons

I also heard whatever the child demands must be provided before cutting the hair( don't know how true)

Yes exactly i heard something like this too. You're right.. I also don't know how true though

Nonsense shey someone cannot be a Dada in peace niii without celestial nonsense...

Explain it properly and stop hiding behind spiritual veils, if you can't explain this, how do you win souls?

You that don't have it what have you achieved silly adult

MansoryMX:


You sound intelligent and someone fit to drop this bomb for. What if one day you wake up and discover the Bible and Quran are just books, an interesting books and nothing more.

What will give you the understanding that the bible is mere book? As in, you will just sleep and wake up and become convinced that it is a story book. Something must happen to give you the conviction. Why dont you give the instances or possibilities of what could inspire that knowledge

Very correct, most parents even trick child with Dlock into cutting their Dlocks in exchange for what they like best....as a child, what will be your best? Candies or biscuits

Real dada is a mystery, do you really wanna know?

You walk around looking semi mad and expect normal people not to be concerned? Thats how madness starts before the advanced stage.

I sure won't reply you anymore now I know your mental predicament

Nostradamus:
some people don't just like shaving their pubic hairs,not because of dirt but they just hate shaving it.i know three people who hate shaving the pubes..


There's an American porn actor that also hate shaving his pubic hair.he believe it's not right shaving it.


This thread is somehow jare..but in all,there's nothing spiritual about dada.just our superstitious mind at work,i don't like dreads myself.


Some people even hate shaving their beards.the American basketball star,james harden(fondly called the beard) is one who hate cutting his beard

Not shaving is better than not combing and washing hair imo. It's a free world, but as humans we owe it to ourselves to be clean.

Someone can't carry lice factory about and want to hug me, kolewerk.
Spiritual or not, fashion or not, don't be the person that appears and people loose appetite. Those who do it for fashion are the neat ones. But you see those that feel it's conventish, haaa run o if you want to live long

CAPSLOCKED:


YOU'RE BEGINNING TO SOUND DRUNK, JUST LIKE I EXPECTED. FROM ONE BRANCH TO ANOTHER.
I'M SURE YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND YOURSELF, SO HOW CAN ANYONE UNDERSTAND YOU?

YOU'RE ALSO VERY LAZY AND DIRTIER THAN A PIG BECAUSE FOR SURE, YOUR BRAIDS WON'T LET YOU WASH EVERYDAY.

Lolz you're very popular for shifting goalposts to suit you.
You're either a pained dada or a semi mental patient or even both.
Dream of me
