There is this misconception that Northern women are the ones that have their rights violated the most in this country. It is false. The truth is that igbo culture has no respect for the feminine gender. It is only in igboland that women are not permitted to inherit their fathers property. It is only in igboland that a widow is shaved and then forced to drink the water that had been used to wash the dead body of her late husband

As for the widowhood stuff, there is nobody that wander about maltreating widows in igbo culture.
Widowhood is a sensitive topic worldwide,so there are bound to be divergent views.
Most widows in igboland were protected or remarried by/to the brothers of the deceased especially if she is young with little kids while the older widows are taken care of by their children.
Only when there is a suspected case of murder/neglect on the wife's side,do issues of maltreatment come up.
In the recent past,some people just maltreat widows for the sake of maltreatment,most especially when they are targetting the man's property which is wrong because it isn't part of the Igbo culture other than that,the culture of maltreating widows is not originally part of Igbo culture.
Do yourself a favour and curb your bigotry!

Zaitoon:
No I didn't,come and help me go through it

The thread is about patience and not about a 9 year old girl.
Face the topic and don't mix it up

.
You are the one that brought in a case of a 9yr old child to a thread of a 19yr old adult. Nna nawa!

Maybe you should go through the thread again, it is your Igbo sister that brought it up

Veteran actress & Evangelist Patience Ozokwor, popularly known as ‘MAMA GEE’ explained in an interview how she was forced into marriage at 19.

She revealed that her mother wanted her to get married on time as she was from a polygamous home.

In an interview with a Ghana television station, RTV, she shared that she was not brought up to disobey or rule out her parents’ orders.

she said:

“It was not my decision [to get married at 19]. And if it’s not my decision it means I was forced into it.
I was forced into it many years ago, and I did not see any reason my parents were forcing me as I was still young.
And even at that age I had so many suitors. You know when you come from a polygamous family and your mother is struggling for her own daughters to get married and this other one is also struggling for her own daughters to get married and when this one [suitor] came around and my mother said go and I could not make a choice. I was not allowed to make a choice. At the end, I had to obey my parents.
I was not brought up to disobey them at all.
When asked if she enjoyed the marriage after she obliged her parents push, she added, Sincerely speaking as a Christian I did not. The marriage was not easy at all for me as a young girl, it was not easy.
She said no matter all she went through in the marriage she had to stay on because her parents eyes were on her and could not jump from one man to the other.
Patience further advised women to remain in their matrimonial homes no matter what, adding that the only reason a woman should separate from her husband is when life is involved.”

so madam ur point is? Cos I know by 18 you are an adult...

Moreoffaith:
YOU SEE WHY YOU DONT BLAME A PARTICULAR ACT ON A TRIBE.

Stop making silly excuses. At 19 is above age of consent.

Zaitoon:
I'm the one seriously ??

[quote author=Zaitoon post=56639642] hypocrite trying to justify the act so as not to make your tribe look bad.

Last time I checked this thread is about patience
And i asked how is it hypocritical? Is a 19yr old similar to a 9yr old?

highchief1:

NwaObinkita:
Okay
Good for you

It was in your best interest
because I heard that you became very sexually active at a very young age and extremely promiscuous back then in Asata, Enugu in the early 70s.

I hope that when next time you hear this kind of news from the North, you will be able to repeat this and not condemn the entire north, call them all sorts of name.

This is very different from allowing a 9 years old child to be married to a 50 years old Alhaji

EXAITLY WALAHI

iRepNaija1:


Calm down. There are exceptions to the rule. SOME igbos do this stuff. Is that better?

it is was never a part of our culture.. it was done by wicked villagers and family who hate the widow.. but now, you cant try that, the woman will involve the police ..
this is 2017 not 1917

awesomet1:


Don't be ethnocentric. It's an African thing.

Now it is an African thing, but when it is from a Hausa man it becomes their barbaric and backward way of lie.. Nairaland people sef

Honest2:
Lol no wonder she always act like witch in movies

You sick pass Buhari!

mavinc4u:


Tell that to your fellow Tribal bigot because they will understand you more.

Looks like you make wild and frivolous allegations without reason
I don't do tribalism
I just like to point out the hypocrisy of people who love to abuse the North/Islam while defending similar things done by their own people

mavinc4u:

If you think sharing property is a way of respecting women then something is definitely wrong with you.

I am not going to argue with YOU over the best way of respecting women; I am not here for that

I am just taken aback by your choice of words when people disagree with you

snezBaba:

Igbos sha, The way they twist things in their favour when they have been caught red-handed in their hypocrisy.
Oya wetin bring Alhaji come the Topic madam
Awon Olori pelebe, Alabosi

Is olori pelebe or olori gogoro ur name

this is something that happened in 70s we have moved ahead and the northerners saying bullshit here are still there to the present day that was why balarabe musa told them that they are 4o yrs backward when compared to the south in education

Just like I said earlier, something is definitely wrong with you. Such statement of yours only comes out from a Tribal bigot like you. I have not made any statement to be agreed or disagreed on. I only corrected your wrong information you are giving to the world. Always be sure of the information before passing it across. I really wonder what is your headache about your father's property. This is why we have a lot of lazy people all over the country. Get your ass off the chair and do something to earn a living, stop waiting for your father's property. Imagine an irrelevant thing is giving you headache. Before you quote me again I would suggest you go through my profile, I don't have time for people like you. I treat you the way you are because most of you have made a bet not to be useful in life.

The only thing I feel is sadness at your remarkable ability to project your anger onto others and misdirect your message

Lilimax:
19 years is an adult But forcing her into marriage is not a welcome development. These may be happening those days but no longer in Igbo Land. We are in 21st century for God's sake.

Madam park well! She also got married in this same 21st century we are in.

Oh ...so there is polygamy in Igbo culture? and force marriage? noted

Hian! Where is this one coming from. I can see you watch a lot of Nollywood. These were things practiced in the 19th century. This is 21st century men!

Polygamous happen everywhere in nigeria.
