Claim your heritage as we make a month of October, the first Nairaland celebrated African cultures fare. Here is how we are going to do it; First week we will be showcasing the traditional dresses, for both maidens and Warriors. Second week will be for food....showcasing our traditional dishes and elaborating on how they are prepared. Third week...we look at our ancestors dwellings. And fourth week Volunteers will tell us what makes their culture different, the cultural dances, how the girls are wooed, how is marriage performed and what is expected of a newly wed daughter in law by her inlaws etc, you can add your own, come let's have fun. 6 Likes |

[size=15pt]The Iria[/size] The Iria is a rite performed by the females of the African Okrika tribe. Girls from the ages of fourteen to sixteen enter into "fatting rooms" where they are fed rich local foods to make the body "come out." They are taught by the elderly women of the egbelereme society to sing the traditional Iria songs. It is believed among these people that young girls form romantic attachments to water spirits. Before they are considered marriageable and allowed to receive mortal suitors, they must first free themselves from these attachments. This is accomplished by the coming together of the girls at the river on successive dawns to sing the songs they have learned. On the final day, the initiates return to the riverbank and the water spirits are expected to attempt to seize the girls by force. This can be prevented by the Osokolo, a member of owuper society (the male counterpart of the egbelereme). He strikes the girls with sticks, driving them back to the village, ensuring both their safety and future fertility (Gleason & Ibubuya, 1991). www.1naijatv.com
