modath:
Blah blah

madam, the point we are making here is Yoruba culture does not encourage or celebrate having kids out of wedlock. I do not know why you are intentionally spreading this misinformation ( perhaps you are one).

Be that as it may, having kids out of wedlock is dependent on individual and family values, not Yoruba culture as a whole.
If polygamy is what you want to discuss, then say so specifically.

as per some of you who cant make any reference to Yoruba without bringing in other tribes, how is that my concern?

these are names which the child automatically has, and before its official christening.

Taiwo- first born of twins. Commonly believed to be the younger "spiritually" and to have been sent by the other twin to test the waters/earth first to see if it was good.

Kehinde: the younger of twins but traditionally, considered the older who delayed coming a bit and sent taiwo out first.

Idowu- younger sibling of twins

Alaba- younger sibling of Idowu

Idogbe- younger sibling of alaba

Ajayi- child was born facing downwards

Ojo- male child born with its umbilical cord around its neck

Aina-female version of Ojo. However, it's considered a unisex name among the Ijebu.

Oke- child born with the amniotic sac intact

Ige- breech presentation, child born legs first instead of head first

Dada- child who has dreads or tightly curled hair

Ilori- child conceived in the absence of a previous menstruation (?)

Olugbodi- child born with six fingers

ie names a child is automatically given at birth, based on its presentation at delivery or circumstances of birth.

The Yoruba believe that a baby may come with pre-destined names.

For instance, twins are believed to have natural-birth names. Thus the first to be born of the two is called Taiwo, a shortened form of Tayewo, meaning the taster of the world. This is to identify the first twin as the one sent by the other one to first go and taste the world. If he/she stays there, it follows that it is not bad, and that would send a signal to the other one to start coming. Hence the second to arrive is named Kehinde (late arrival). The child born to the same woman after the twins is called Idowu, and the one after this is called Alaba (female) or Idogbe (male). Ige is a child born with the legs coming out first instead of the head; and Ojo (male) or Aina ( female) is the one born with the umbilical cord around his or her neck. When a child is conceived with no prior menstruation, he or she is named Ilori. Dada is the child born with curly hair; and Ajayi (nicknamed Ogidi Olu) is the one born face-downwards.

onila:

I heard when you are broke in Nigeria
You have to beg to survive

but in other countries
the poor people tend to be content with the little they have

Is it true

when you are broke in nigeria you borrow.

there's a difference between the two.

you can or might need to beg for favours though, eg job, etc.

but last time i checked, poverty is embarrassing, however its not a crime, abi its a crime where you come from? huh

I see ladies serving their bfs or husbands food with more than one piece of meat,and when I ask them,they say its a sign of respect that givin a man a piece of meat or no meat at all is disrespectful.
But for me I can eat a full meal without meat,as long as the food fills my tummy up that's what matters,a piece of meat or pieces of meat is just a plus for me. So to the ladies and guys on NL,what's ur opinion on this?

Hera is the mother of Ares, the Greek god of war. Who was fathered by Zeus.

Literature › Re: Calling All Greek Mythology Fans by tpiah99: 1:55am On Feb 25, 2015

Hera

Hera was Zeus' wife and sister, and was raised by the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. She was the supreme goddess, patron of marriage and childbirth, having a special interest in protecting married women. Her sacred animals were the cow and the peacock, and she favoured the city of Argos.

Zeus initially courted Hera, but after many unsuccessful attempts, he resorted to trickery. He took the form of a disheveled cuckoo; Hera, feeling sorry for the bird, held it to her breast to keep it warm. Zeus then resumed his normal form and taking advantage of Hera's surprise, he raped her. Hera then married him to cover her shame; their marriage was turbulent and they often clashed.

Occasionally, Zeus treated the other gods with particular harshness; Hera took advantage of that and asked them to join her in a revolt. They all accepted and set the plan in motion; Hera drugged Zeus, and then, the others bound him to a couch. At that stage, however, they began to argue over what the next step should be. Briareus, one of the Hecatoncheires, overheard the arguments; still full of gratitude to Zeus for saving him and his brothers from a dragon, Briareus sneaked in and quickly untied the knots that held Zeus in place. Zeus sprang from the couch and grabbed his thunderbolt. The gods fell to their knees begging and pleading for mercy. He seized Hera and hung her from the sky with gold chains. She wept in pain all night, but none of the other gods dared to interfere. Her weeping kept Zeus up, so the following morning, he agreed to release her if she swore never to rebel again. She had little choice but to agree. While she never again rebelled, she often interfered with Zeus's plans and she was often able to outwit him.
