ABOMINATION IN URHOBO CULTURE AND TRADITIONS:
S£X WITHIN THE FAMILY.
S£x between Children of the family is an ABOMINATION. If both of them are below the age of 20 yrs their punishment is mild.
Tied both of them and fl0g them with cane until both of them will cry and shed tears before losing the ropes.
If they're matured, one she Goat and ingredients for the preparation for the sacrifice. Both of them will be ti£d and fl0gged with cane.
THE SAME PARENTS.
If pregnancy is already involved, the family will do their best to terminate it or they will allow the child to be born and feed him/her with excess water. In short, the child dyed mysteriously is what people will hear.
But if both of them are not from the same parents but extended family or somehow releted to each other and pregnancy is already involved before knowing, they're expected to kill one she Goat and family may put off or allow them to go ahead and marry each other after all the sacrifices have been carried out.
S£XUAL INT£RCOURSE WITH A MARRIED WOMAN.
If a woman confesses of having s£xual int£rcourse with another man and If the Man is within the community, two family members will represent the husband to go and collect damages (Money) from him, Urhobo called it AGO OKO.
If they're more than one, no need for the Wife to mention names, she's expected to pack sand with her right hand and present them to her husband's family. She will pay a certain amount of money plus one she Goat and ingredients for the preparation.
If wife Fall an Urhobo man during a fight, the family will pay the fine of she Goat and a bottle of Gin with serious warning never to repeat it again or else all the community women will pack her load and es**rt her away from the town.
Unfortunately, the Man is not permitted to participate in eating the UKODO prepared with the Goat.
Note that Ancestors (Erhivwin) are very wise, during play in the house wives are permitted to Fall husbands gidigba for ground even with only one finger. Erhivwin will look at the other side during this period.
ONORIEN.
S£XUAL INT£RCOURSE with mother is one of the worst abominations in Urhobo Culture. It will be very difficult for a mother to lie down and open her legs for her son. The only thing that can make it possible and happen is through the diabolical power called ONORIEN. Any man who wants to have s£xual int£rcourse with any woman of his choice will acquire power of ONORIEN and to activate the power is by having it with mother before it becomes active. The son will use the ONORIEN power to touch his own mother and she lay down feeling very weak and powerless for the son to have his way and at last the coast is now very clear for him to practice what Urhobo people always refered to as "The most wicked act of evil" From that day go onwards, all he needs to do is to touch any Wall with his back and he will found himself inside the room, have s£x with any sleeping woman, touch the Wall with his back again and he's off. His victims will wake up wet without sleeping with any Man.
If pre adventure he confesses, people of his Community will banish and excommunicate him and the punishment is d£ath.
Today, ONORIEN is no longer Common but a similar Power is the one now used by Yah00 Boys.
Remember, the people that practice this evil always end their Life in a sad note, unfortunate shameful manners because if they eventually dye, Family takes them to the evil Forest for burial.
FATHER HAVING S£XUAL IN*******SE WITH DAUGHTER.
Another worst Abomination of the highest order in Urhobo Culture. Unknown to many people, this act is not ordinary at all. It's not possible for a father to fall in love with his own daughter to the extent of s£xual int£rcourse.
It may interest you to know today that the father is looking for a particular and diabolical power such as to acquire wealth and he was asked to make love with his own daughter as part of the condition given to him before he could succeed. The bad news is that the daughter will become and remain us£l£ss for the rest of her life.
It may also interest you to know that the people of that Community will know what happened between Dad and daughter but no one can confront him because of the influence of his wealth. One thing is certain, he will dye one day and go to where the Maker prepared for people like him. Urhobo Culture doesn't need his goat or other sacrifices from him.
To be continued.
Proudly Urhobo Culture.
Proudly Urhobo people.
