I'm an African American, and I'm here relearning my culture🥰 ❤️💛💚✊🏾🖤

[@beingafrican]

That's awesome. Are you Igbo?

[@ancientDna1979]

@@beingafrican I am 51% Igbo 😁out of 91% African. ❤️💛💚✊🏾🖤 I naturally gravitate towards the Nigerian culture, especially the Igbo.

What i love most about this drama is that it comprises of different igbo dialects. some of the speakers are from the Ika and Anioma dialect of Delta State and the other ones are from Anambra and Abia/Imo dialects, showing that all Igbos are the same and from the same family despite of slight dialectical differences.

Better explanation than the shambolic Nollywood

Well, I applaud the presenter for his efforts but the presenter doesn't appear to be Igbo; but if he is, he didn't do his research very well. First, the process appears to have been rushed. Ordinarily, the list is not given during iku aka; infact it isn't supposed to be given until all necessary investigations have been satisfactorily completed. In many parts of Igboland, women are not involved in the early stages, especially not in iku aka. Also, one does not break the kolanut at his inlaws house except in very rare circumstances (eg, injury, disability, old age) and only with his inlaws permission. In that case, the plate should be promptly handed back after the kolanut has been broken.

Igbo amaka! 💜

Nawooo....I miss my palm wine o....naija❤

[@kenechukwuesiobu5216]

Does a man break kolanut in his inlaws' place?

[@carolinekasiemeka9848]

Igbo culture explained not African culture. I am from Africa Kenya to be precise we don't give lists. We have different culture even in Kenya so do not generalise saying African culture say Igbo culture Nigeria in Africa continent

[@beingafrican]

Thank you for the feedback! You are correct. However, we are building an African Heritage Center one tribe, one video at time. Look out for the Kikuyu marriage ceremony. Three part series
Part 1
The introduction ceremony
Part 2
Kumenya mucii (getting acquainted)
Kuheo kiugu (being given the shed)
Part 3
Ruracio (dowry)
Gutinia kiande (cutting the shoulder)

[@claybro3729]

Some things are not correct

[@flacoanemico5199]

This is the most honorable wedding tradition I have ever seen.
I would like to have this marriage ceremony some day.
There were many biblical connotations...
-The brides father asks the daughter if she knows or is willing to go and marry the man. Like Laban asking Rebeca is she would go with Eliezer (Abrahams servant)
- Giving the dowry
- having a contract and witnesses
-Having the blessing of the father
- honoring the teachings af her father even after leaving her fathers house.
