In that context, aye is blamed for mysterious problems of unknown etiology.

Meaning whoever is behind the strange happening/s, is not known, or undercover.

Most times its actually someone close to the afflicted doing it for whatever reason, and being manipulated by an outside party.

no doubt there are urgent reasons why someone would have to marry outside their ethnic group [gender imbalance or oppression being one of them], but for the most part a lot of people seem to approach dating and so on in an extremely frivolous manner as if they're really little more than s.perm donors.

or just looking for designer babies.
Culture › Re: Edo/Idu People And The Colour Red by tpia5: 2:58am On Sep 23, 2011
amor4ce:
The opinion I've had over the years is that the preference of that colour in Southern Nigeria is due to Edo influence and perhaps a sort of mimicry of their culture. Besides, I have a strong feeling that therein lies the answer to their history. And yes I'm referring to both coral beads and red cloth but more of the former.

Which other nation an be described as the Red People?
red coral was used in other parts of africa as well.

i think trade is the major factor here, not tribe, but that's just my opinion.


the traditional red cloth is used to signify war, captives [slaves] and general juju.

but nowadays it can be used for other things.
