nlPoster:It differs by town and culture. Some have been overtaken by modernity and faith, but some are still very very active. Some drink Palmoil when they mistakenly eat forbidden food or edible. |

buygala:The appellant’s appeal to the Court of Appeal was dismissed on rather technical grounds. That Court held that since the Local Government (Declaration of Tiv Customary Marriage) Order, 1985, did not prohibit adultery in express terms but merely criminalised wrongful detention of a married woman against her husband’s wish, section 33(12) of the then 1979 Constitution was rightly invoked by the 1st respondent; because this meant adultery per se was not a crime in Tiv land. The fact that this technicality was invoked in dismissing the appeal does not mean adultery is permissible within the said tribe sir. Your interpretation of the facts therein will be incorrect. This is in reference to Tofi vs Uba |

i heard before Babangida regime only Ghanaians living in Nigeria then will be caught eating Sardine and other canned food cus Nigerian citizens find it beneath them as life was good and most people from the northern extract won’t be caught eating Eba/Amala/ pounded yam and co from southern part same with Sourtherners. But the poverty index during IBB era grew. Engineering graduates turned photographer just to survive. Every body start Dey chop Wetin dem find. |

[You dont just speak about something you know nothing about. They asked about what food you forbid in YOUR place but no na benue people own sweet you to talk about.uote author=buygala post=88439640]Chopping another man's wife is a taboo in my village ...''chopping" as in ''fvcking".... But i understand that in some parts of Benue State, men give out their wives and daughters as Kola to visitors ...as in if you are spending the night in his house, he can delegate one of his wives or daughters to keep you in satisfactory coital company overnight.... Point is....one man's meat is another man's poison Modified I have been getting some mentions telling me the Benue tradition I stated above isn't true... Up till tomorrow, adultery is not prohibited among the Tivi tribe in Benue State..there, you cannot be convicted for knacking someone's wife... If you think I am lying, please find and read the cases of Apiko V Ikogi and Tofi v Uba, the latter having been decided by the Nigerian Court of Appeal.. For ease of reference, here are the cases' Court citations: Tofi v Uba (1987) 3 NWLR PT.62 P.723 PARA A-H APIKO UNOGWU V GABRIEL IKOGI-APPEAL NO. OHC/19A/2008 [/quote] |

aribs: The order you quited does not criminalize adultery...finito Esentially, that order allowed the Respondent to walk free from the charge of adultery... If you are a lawyer like myself, you will understand that it is trite that what isn't expressly prohibited is permissible |

Peep below to see my own understanding of that word and tell me if eating those things fits into this definition 1 Like
