Saturday In House Gists - Weird Practices In Some Tribes...

We have lots of tribes in Nigeria and what is taboo to one tribe might not be a big deal to the other....







The one i heard recently blew me away and I am still coming to terms with it....
Do you have or know any weird practices in your tribe?
Lets share!

    1. OSU OSU OSU Oru
      A taboo to marry one as your family and generation becomes OSU: people dedicated to gods in the ancient days. The OSU caste people are usually so beautiful and well to do but the stigma lingers so most marry outside their tribes.

    1. My husband said in their village if a woman cheats on her husband that if the man is aware and doesn't speak up and eats the meal prepared by the woman, the man will die and all the woman's children will equally die.
      If the man doesn't know about the cheating he will be ill and die.
      I don't believe it though.
      I lied to him that my own village if a marry who isn't from there marries any woman from my place and cheats on her, the man will forever be a mad man. Even told my father to tell him.
      Which my dad told him.LMao.

    1. If you kill it you bury it as in, give it a decent burial and if a stranger accidentally kills it while driving, money is sprayed there to prevent unforseen circumstances. Whoever takes the money has invited trouble as member. Custom of Idemmili people of Anambra state.

    2. Lolo are you from Alo? Have a friend from there, one day her sister saw a python in the kitchen, she used stick to move it out. I was so scared, though it was a small one.

      Delete
    3. Cocktails...it's the whole Idemmili South and our Idemmili North too.

      There's a list for the Python's burial, inclusive are a small coffin and some pieces of red clothes.

      You don't kill but can touch and play with it. Mainly found in latrines and old kitchen huts. They love cold pots die.

    1. Were you used for this entertainment?

      Delete
    2. Very fake news. They are very possesive of their wives. It is just that in the olden days there was no special hut for visitors so so, any of the wives who was not in ze oda room and whose hut was large enough to accomodate her kids and the visitor had him sleep in the hut with them. That is all.

  11. In my culture the dead are buried in the house(eg rooms and kitchen) except the person states somewhere else while living or doesnt have a house then the family will buy a small portion of land to bury the person.

    Its so normal in our place but exposure has made me wonder if that culture shouldnt be abolished..

    9. My friend told me about this, She's from akwaibom. She said their loved ones are buried right in their rooms after they die. And they all come home during the festive period back to that place, celebrate, something about not letting that persons memory fade.

      Delete
  12. Well, in my place you don't bury a titled man in the open. There must be as little as a shelter from the rain. What else sef?

  13. There is a tribe here, during your wedding/introduction/or is it after I can't remember, your husband will wash his feet and the intending wife MUST drink the water. It is their 'custom'.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Marry the corpse of that live in lover if she dies without paying her bride price.
    Wife drinks the water used in washing dead husband to prove her innocence in his death mostly in sudden deaths.
    Woman who did not have children before her husband died marries another woman to bear children to keep her husband's lineage OR mothers marrying women to procreate for dead sons..abeegi don't ask me who impregnated them
    Women don't break Kola but
    Chains are used around the grave sides of some dead to prevent them from disturbing the living as ghosts/spirits as in chain the dead.scary

  15. My paddy is a first daughter in a family of 4 girls, if a family don't have a male child, the first daughter assumes d position of a son n takes over the family, she gives birth n continues d family name, nobody fights her, she has two kids from one English expat... D man was made aware that he won't be responsible for them, he's merely a sperm donor...he was adamant but he gave in...I know they have Brits passport,I dunno how d man did it, but born in Nigeria.

  19. In my place, if you sweep your house in the night, you don't pack the dirt, you leave it there till morning and I still don't know the meaning.
    As a married woman if you defile your bed as in commit adultery, you won't be able to deliver your baby till you confess, even if it's your husband that impregnated you.

    1. About the packing of dirt thing, in my tribe one doesnt pack/throw away dirt after sweeping at night because you will be throwing your wealth away.

  22. We don't kill python in my place,if it visits a nursing mother, the person will have to pour powder on the python' s head and carries it away.

    ReplyDelete
  23. In my place:
    It's forbidden to whistle at night, if you do mistakenly, you'll have to take a shower before going to bed. Else the SPIRITS will visit you.

    Pack dirt after sweeping at night, if you do, then you'll buy 3piece kolanut and drop at T-junction in the morning. Else your family will go broke.

    Leave small mirrors upside at night. You'll go drop "small dollbaby" by the banks of the river the following day. Else the Agbala Mmili will come warn your family. It has some repercussions.
    #TitiUgegbe

    Leave empty seats upside outside at night. You buy a small bottle of dry gin and sprinkle around area in the morning. Else there will be a gathering for a funeral in your family soonest.

    If you forget to pack ash from previous day's cooking from the furnace and light another firewood on top, you'll grind 2 pods of alligator pepper and sprinkle around the furnace before cooking. Else, your food will bring stomach upset to anyone you feed it.

    Dem boku. No time pleaae.

    Best thing is to avoid THEM. Chaalu onwunwa!

  24. In my place this...In my place that.. untop of all your backward, archaic, primitive traditions what have you as a people achieved??
    Claim to fame: 'We preserve python.' 'We drink water from dead bodies.' 'We buried dead bodies in our houses.' 'We don't pack dirt at night(pigs)' firewood, ash, nyene nyen. Still living and thinking like people in the dinosaur era. Shift, smelling dummies.

  25. A pregnant woman should not play with dogs(if a male baby he might die or something like that), eat too much okro or snails( the baby will end up being a drool master).
    Do not draw water from the well late in the evenings; one might kill a genie living in the well and that is the beginning of your woes.
