Greetings great people.
Hope you're doing great?
Every tribe has that belief that has been past from generation to generation, and how that has affected the mind of people, their views on things, the perspective of which they think. Beliefs shapes the mind of people on certain areas in life.
The ijaw people also known as the izon people, the ijaw are native to the niger delta region, they are believed to be a part of the earliest settlers in what is known today as the southern Nigeria.
In each culture, there are beliefs that have been passed down through generations, in this era you probably find it difficult to relate to them but they still practiced. Tell us about it and if you feel it should be abolished.

in the ijaw culture it is related to our belief that the dead have a continued existence and may posses the ability to influence the fortune of the living.Hmmmm, really? Ijaw has lots of CULTURAL beliefs, very deep ones.
I believe that when the population Christians rises, most of the unnecessary ones will be abolished.

I agree with what you wrote, maybe tradition has been believed for generations

I agree with you and I think such a belief should be stopped
Well let me indulge you a bit.
Christianity happily saved us from the harmful cultural practices but also introduced some impurities which turn out to be the culture of those who introduced it to us. I think we shouldn't have abandoned our culture for theirs, I think we took up their way of life and made a religion out of it. It shouldn't have been the case. We could have still been saved from our sins and still retain the good parts of our culture. The missionaries were in good faith tho, but totally eradicating our culture was not the implied meaning of salvation. I got a few light from China Achebe's there was a country and it educated my mind on how rich our cultural heritage really is, and how much wealth it should have attracted in our present day. But we sold it off.
Different culture with different belief, Very strange and deep.
We are what we believe indeed.
Thanks to civilization, more and more eyes are getting opened and people are learning better.
