Visocrate:We all want to know the reasoning behind this post. Kindly share. As for me, one aspect of my culture that I detest is the overly wasteful process (my own personal opinion) involved in presenting kolanut. I understand the process very well and can appreciate its social function, but the time wasted is simply an annoyance to me. I'm only speaking for Ngwa. I can't speak for other groups, since I don't know what sort of process they go through. |

InyinyaAgbaOku:the fetish and spiritual incantations that precede an outing masquerade but the little kids masquerade that is just for fun is entertaining don't like their charms and fetish boast of power |

Visocrate: 'Fetish'....'spiritual'.... 'incantations'...'charms'.... 'Fetish' again.... So, your problem is with the pre-Christian religious practices of the Igbo, am I right? What I personally don't like: the fact that the extended family/kindred system still plays a very powerful role in events like marriages and burials. Maybe it was of some use back when everyone lived together and did everything together with their kindred. Now, I think it's just a burden. Socialising with one's kin, I don't have a problem with. But when some distant, distant great-uncle who I'd probably not recognise if we ran into each other in a market and who has to be told over and over what my name is...when such an uncle takes centre stage in deciding what and what my prospective in-laws must produce before marriage rites for my sister can commence, because he so happens to be the oldest member of my umunna, that just drives me nuts. 1 Like |
