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 shocked...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 cool

Modified

I have been getting some mentions telling me the Benue tradition I stated above isn't true...sad

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

Oga, u if try TIV man wife , he will kill u an your family. It's all lies, a Tiv man has never and will never give his wife out.
What is common among the Tiv people is that they are very hospitable to even stranger so people used it against them

Sir, if you are truly a lawyer like you allege, you will understand that my allegation of fact is based on a Tiv Ordinance already judicially recognized by Nigerian Courts...So I have nothing else to prove to you

Since you are alleging that the said ordinance has been repealed, it is for you to back up your claim with facts...if you are a lawyer, you will also know that the Evidence Act provides that he who asserts must prove...you are the one asserting that adultery is now an offence in Tiv Land, the Ordinance having been repealed... it's up to you to prove that...

This is very basic law..at least in Nigeria...if you cant appreciate this, then you are on your own Sir

I dont need to justify my legal knowledge to you. I dont even care whether u believe it or not frankly . I have mentioned constraints i have so now please show me where i lied since you say it is still in force..I am.waiting. I will.not debate the evidence act with you. Only show me where your great theory on the TIv is factual other than this case specific case law and where your research has shown . This is 2020
.I wait for this evidence

Taboo foods, not temporarily abstain from foods. There are people who might have just delivered, dont freak them out.

Adultery is only a crime in Northern Nigeria, Bros. The ratio in those cases you cited weren't limited to Benue state alone. You can also see Aoko v Fagbemi.

Throughout the country (except where the Penal Code is applicable), it's totally legal, so this doesn't prove anything about the Benue tradition.

Mods why does this person remain unbanned after I reported him/her multiple times? Seems like the same moniker, I don't think it's an alternate one.

But if I say shut down nairaland, it's immediately deleted due to fear?

Snails. Ukwuani land.

I've never eaten snails, will never knowingly eat them. If one unknowingly eats them, you're supposed to induce vomiting. If you can't, you're to go for ceremonial cleansing.
So, you're Ukwani? Ndokwa West? East?
