@ Yahman1 midnighter and To other akwaibom indigenes who seem to be hurt about theory of girls from that side loving sex... As much as it sounds unacceptable to you, there's an atom of truth in it. There's no culture or group of people who don't have such stories trailing them, y'all aren't just happy because it's not all positive. I'm sure you would have claimed it if otherwise.

Speaking from experience now, girls from this side are very free in expressing their feelings, intentions and wants. Girls from this side don't display attitudes like girls from many other parts. This makes them very approachable. This is the type of character found in foreign girls that makes it look as though they like sex much. I've spent more than twenty years in lagos and in my short stay in Calabar here, I've seen alot of what I'm talking about.

Literacy level is high here, so girls are open to and even demand more exploration. All these would only point to a high sexual activity, in my opinion.

midnighter:
Not at all but there are some words a Nigerian citizen gats to know! Mtchew!

I would like to learn it though but I'm not even fluent in Igbo yet but tell me, what's the difference between ibibio and Efik?

midnighter:
Lol ewu! ebot! mkpi!

GOAT!

Isinweke:

I am sent to the world to reveal the truth about the imprisonment of Yahweh and Allah in their spiritual cage for a thousand years, so that science oriented people can fill up the world.

OtemAtum:
Lol. Nigerians are getting wiser day by day as Jehovah and Allah the chief gods of the two largest religions remain in their spiritual cage.

midnighter:
Yes and I usually have some material open to read/watch while surfing. what about you

midnighter:
I didnt buttress it lol, you did. its just a summary

Yes, I can be. And you?

wiseone28:
No need trying to educate them..
They won't believe its a fallacy.

Thou its always irritating to read that nonsense.

midnighter:
It's not a new theory I was summarising what I said in the previous posts

Which was that if you are taught more about sexual techniques then you would be more knowledgeable than people from other places

And that if the attitude to sex is different in your place then other people must perceive it and begin to make observations.

Which you said is a baseless perception, now we are back at the beginning again.

midnighter:
Lol you want us to go through the whole conversation we just had all over again?

What do you mean what do I mean?

midnighter:
I do acknowledge that particular practices in some places can give rise to both positive and negative stereotypes

midnighter:
Yeah you have a point there. I am not for labelling but I do acknowledge that particular practices in some places can give rise to both positive and negative stereotypes

midnighter:
Well I still think there must be a reason for the perception even if you don't particularly like it.

You would have to compare the attitude to sex in the state to other states before you will get the answer as to why people think such

It's annoying to encounter stereotypes about your place even if they are not totally baseless. It depends on how the person expresses it because cultural observations can be sensitive

Youve reminded me of an akwa ibom guy I met who said himself that this perception is true...but you will still meet plenty of examples to the contrary, so who knows...

midnighter:
Of course, it doesn't. If a child is neater than his classmates won't you praise him? I don't understand your reasoning at all

Calabar itself is a clean respite from the dirt and grime of a lot of Nigerian cities. Is it a problem I don't think so, it's just something to be aspired to

I don't think pointing out a good or interesting quality about somebody should make anyone else feel bad except they are insecure in themselves already

midnighter:
Lol, you can't equate what people prioritise in each culture, all of us are different

You can't compare that fattening room stuff that is an organised part of the culture to other places where the burden is just on a mother who may do what she likes

When they say calabar/akwa ibom women are known for being neat and homely will you also try to scrub that one??

Acknowledging differences between our cultures is not the same as tribalism

midnighter:
You have a point but I doubt it's as simple as that. These perceptions arise from observing cultural behaviours and practices

Would you compare a culture where sex isn't discussed much at all to one where women intending to marry are given orientation on how to please a man?

I was told that akwa ibom women are given such training by their elders as part of their tradition. I think it's part of that "fattening room" process (though I'm not sure if they still do the force-feeding).

I don't see the insult in acknowledging cultural differences if they're clearly true. As long as you don't do it in a vulgar manner

midnighter:
Of course there are...I was just wondering why riverine women have this mystical kind of beauty...

midnighter:
Yes! I wonder why...
