TINALETC3:
some of dem no longer exists, shaving of hair in my place is now by choice nt must

Ok, noted.

In some tribes and cultures, Magun is unnecessary. If a woman sleeps outside of her marriage, the effects are felt by the children and even the husband, as they become sickly and die.

Very funny, let me go back to listening to good music from 3 doors down.

No 2 - what happens to the wife if she's clean? silly act.

Barbing/ shaving of hairs was never used to prove innocence or ascertain complicity of the widow in the murder of the man.

It was done as a sign of respect to the dead man. Not a lot of people practice that now.

obicentlis:
This magun of a thing is the serious but funny one. Still wondering how the thing hook.

Carry out a research on that and feed us back.

Inanna:
Most of them are still common till today. I wish the fattening rooms are still in existence. Culture is just so beautiful.

including shaving hair, marrying a corpse and magun? Culture is good..but those above listed are barbaric.

Very funny

She'll fall sick and eventually die unless d husband removes/undo d charm/magun..
a.k.a don't climb

Some culture is... and you should know there's nothing beneficial to getting fat

Fattening room does not really mean the bride will be fat but looking healthy... It's just a culture amongst the efik people.

During the fattening room session, They feed the bride with healthy native foods, she's been advised on how to take care of her husband's house, how to keep her man and how to cook different types of cuisine to keep her husband stuck at home...

During this period, she's been taken care by experienced elderly women, they massage her body (traditional spa) with "ndom" (traditional white chalk) and her body is smeared with traditional pomade (not all these foreign bleaching cream)

During these period, her husband is not allowed to see her until the D-Day which she's gonna "she's gonna shine like a diamond"

And on that day she's gonna dance some seductive traditional dance when coming out of the fattening room, then imagine you r reaction as the husband will be on that day

The fattening room is almost going extinct...

It sounds nice coming from you.

Yeah

Vivos:
the Igbo's shaving their hair does not mean they want to prove they had no hand in the death of the husband.
If they suspect you have a hand in the death of your husband. They make you choose one of the following:
1. Drinking the water used to bathe ur dead husband.
2.Swear with the Bible or before Amadioha(gods).
3.you sleep in the same room with ur dead husband.

As an Igbo man this is unacceptable and disgusting.

Please no one should accept this shiit.

Unfortunately she'd die after 7 days

IPoB: Shaving the hair, is the worst. The stranger than fiction.

Magun will also be very good

I love love fattening room. Watched the show once on EbonyLife tv and wondered why they ever stopped/reduced it

Hmm... First heard of that fattening room during my nysc days at eleme, Rivers State. I like that one... They want the babe to add up before marriage day. She practically does nothing during the run-in days.

Do igbos still treat their widows like that? Shave her hair, make her sleep in the same room with her dead husband and all that? I thought they stopped all that...if they still do, na wa for them oh. Why would they make the woman suffer like that? And I'm sure they don't treat their widowers like that, I'm sure they find another wife for them. Why do they make their women go through hell when their husbands die? It doesn't make any sense.

It may not be too popular but I read somewhere that Senator Ita Giwa made her daughter go to the fattening room ..
