koonbey: The facts of the Tofi case was strictly based on Tiv custom....Tiv custom does not criminalize Adultery....You can go argue otherwise with my Lords at the Court of Appeal.... Whatever you are saying on other customs is strictly your business not mine and not within the scope of my comment here I spoke about the Tiv....and that's where I end the discussion |

BBWLOVER:It's like your accused ancestors have started fanning their biabia with your picture. Do the world a favour and lie down on the path of a moving train. That way we can be rid of your pestilential presence. People like you just occupy space and consume valueable resources while adding absolutely no value to the society. You should have been aborted instead of being unleashed on this world to be a pest, a leech and pus-filled boil on the ass of humanity. You are cursed. Get thee behind me forever, unfortunate creature. |

Zombiekiller010:9 days for boy baby and 7 days for girl baby. Basically 8 and 6 oyinbo week days. No salt, no pepper, no meat, no oil. Only black soup with uziza. An Eastern Yoruboid tradition in a small part of Edo State. The consequences used to be severe if not observed. But village dwellers still observe it till now. It was a curse placed by the warrior prince when his senior oloris maltreated his favourite and young wife when she had a baby. The prince was away at war. The jealous oloris connived to give the new mother poor food against the Prince's instruction to give her sumptuous food. The prince returned to find her malnourished. On learning about the maltreatment he placed a curse that all new mothers must eat food without oil, salt, meat, pepper and such for 9 or 7 days depending on baby's gender. It's not too disimilar to Oba Rengenje and Oronsen case in Owo history. An event celebrated during Igogo festival in Owo every September. Female adultery is still very serious matter in that part of Edo till now. Some will label it rubbish especially those without much culture in their place of origin. But seeing is believing. They won't believe since they haven't seen it. 1 Like |
