What You Should Know About Igala Ladies

Igala ladies just as any other tribe are well cultured and mannered having received proper training and advice from their parents— This begins from childhood until the  marriageable stage. Oftentimes, Igala ladies are so attached to their moms and will eventually display whatever traits exhibited by their mothers, either good or bad. But, not to worry as Igala parents never fail at giving valuable advice needed by daughters intending to get married.

Talking to an Igala Lady

The First step common to all igala weddings is the agreement between a man and a woman who desire to get married. However, interested suitors are scared of being rejected so there is a dilemma on what step to take.

Interestingly, it’s easy to approach an Igala lady as long as you’re polite but declaring your intentions at the very first meeting may not be a good idea and is one of those things you should never say on a first date. In contrast, learn about those fun things to do on a first date which in turn establish a mutual friendship. Once this is achieved it’s best you let the cat out of the bag.

Furthermore, you don’t have to be afraid of being rejected as Igala ladies are good at turning down requests politely without being rude. In addition, you can use an intermediary if you feel uncomfortable about going in person, although this is not compulsory. I tell you it shows you’re competent when you go in person and she would appreciate that.

Talking to an Igala Lady’s Parents About Your Intentions

This stage comes in two phases and is also called the introduction phase of igala weddings. So, after the lady agrees to your proposal it’s time to step up the relationship by meeting her parents. However, don’t try pretending to be who you’re not to please her parents. This might turn out bad and you will eventually lose your chances of getting married to her. 

Interestingly, Igala parents excel more at background checks about whoever their child is getting married to. Unknown to the couple in question, both Igala families, that’s if they are both Igala, dig more into the family history of whoever their son or daughter intend to marry. This is because they believe that every unpleasant trait found can be transferred.

Pre Introduction Phase of Igala Weddings

This phase is when the lady takes her man to see her parents alone. In other words, he goes to introduce himself to her parents without anyone accompanying him. This is where his fate is decided as he gets to know if he is accepted or not. It’s advisable he goes with gifts for her parents and also her siblings if she has any. The success of this stage determines the next.

Introduction Phase of Igala Weddings

This is the time when the man comes with his family members to declare his intentions properly to the woman’s family. Also, some members of the woman’s family are invited to witness this event, although it isn’t something elaborate as only few persons get to attend. 

The man is expected to come along with two plates of kola nuts, with a reasonable sum of money placed on each plate, alongside four crates of acceptable drinks that will be presented to the woman’s parents. In addition, he will be asked to bring money that will be used to cook and entertain all those who will attend the introduction including his own family.

Furthermore, the male family is expected to come with a mediator who will introduce them and also declare the reason for their visit. Afterward, the lady is asked if she accepts their proposal, once she gives her consent, prayers are made and the gifts brought are presented to her parents.

Afterward, both couples are expected to introduce their spouse to their family members occupying sensitive positions in the family.

Igala Fixing of Wedding Date and Courtship

This stage is often the easiest to cross so long as both parents are in support of the union. However, once you’ve carried out the two introduction phases and have gotten her parents acceptance, you should tie the knot as soon as possible— Delay might be dangerous except there are still some background checks yet to be carried out. Hence, a favorable date for both families is fixed and invitations are being sent. 

How is Igala Traditional Marriage Done?

This can also be referred to as engagement day. According to Igala weddings tradition, the man will come to collect a bill which contains the amount of money needed to cook and entertain invited guest. Furthermore, he buys two mats and two wrappers that are to be used on the wedding day. In addition, he brings two plates of kola nuts, with a reasonable sum of money on them, 4 crates of drinks as was brought during the introduction phase.

On the day of the traditional wedding, the mats and wrappers bought will be spread on the floor, one for the bride and the other for the groom. Next comes the bride dancing to the music being played with her friends, while this is done money is sprayed on her as she greets both families. She goes back and changes her attire and comes out for the second time with her friends dancing, greets as money is sprayed on them.

The bride goes back again and changes her attire for the third time, this time she comes out with two of her best friends dancing as she goes to sit on the mat, with both friends sitting one to her left and the other to her right. Oftentimes, she may refuse to sit, but in order to make her sit, the groom’s family will continue spraying money until she feels like sitting.

Next, comes in the groom with two of his friends, dancing in once, oftentimes no money is sprayed except his family wants to. They get to sit on the second mat, with the same sitting arrangements as the bride. Most importantly, the groom and the bride are expected to put on the same attire on that day.

Afterward, the groom’s spokesman will speak and present the gifts brought to the parents of the bride and request that they give their son their daughter hand in marriage. The bride is asked if she accepts their proposal, she agrees and the couple is declared husband and wife amidst witnesses.

Subsequently, the groom will be asked to take proper care of their daughter, love her, and fulfill his duty as a man. That’s why it’s important that as a couple intending to get married you learn about those marriage preparation tips for every intending couple.

After this stage of the event, the floor is open to those who want to advise the couple or may want to present gifts to them. Following this comes celebration—dancing and eating and your bride is yours!

Do Igala Parents Collect Bride Price?

No, 95% of Igala parents don’t collect bride price on their daughter and this is one trait that makes igala weddings unique. All that’s required are those gifts to be brought along during introduction and money to cook and entertain the guest on the introduction day and even on the traditional marriage day.

What are Igala Traditional Marriage Requirements?

As we have earlier established only specific gifts will be requested and money to ensure the wedding turns out well. However, items like yam, red oil, meat e.t.c needed for cooking might be brought by the man. This is usually optional as he may decide to bring money for those items to be bought.

Conclusion

8 Ways of Dealing With Nigerian Parents

8 Ways of Dealing With Nigerian Parents

My parents are extremely strict you may say as a Nigerian child, and you’re currently finding out a thousand ways of dealing with strict Nigerian parents, just to air your views and be independent. ‘Why can’t I have my freedom for once’, ‘sincerely, I feel like a prisoner in my father’s house’, ‘i hate to push around and be controlled like someone without a will’. The above statement and its likes are what you hear when you come close to Nigerian children, especially teenagers. 

Yeah, I know that because I once wore those shoes and made those statements when I was much younger. I can relate to those painstaking experiences you get each time you’re being forced to do something, and it looks as though your opinion isn’t worth considering. However, are Nigerian parents strict? Besides, what could be their reason for this?

Now, before we answer that, I need you to understand that most of Nigeria’s parent’s mode of discipline is unique and in the end, it’s worth it. You may not understand why they ask you not to wear that dress, or not to move around with certain friends, or why you were scolded for sitting amid elders when a private matter was being discussed. However, when you finally move out to the bigger world you will be grateful to them.

Are Nigerian Parents Strict?

Yes, they are and that’s just the truth. You can’t disobey an order passed across to you without getting punished. Unconsciously, they administer your punishment to you even before listening to your explanations.

Let’s look at it from this angle, you went shopping with your mom and came across an elderly person. Your mom greeted her/him and you unconsciously forgot to greet. You may think everything is alright until you get back home, I believe you know the rest of the story as a Nigerian child. But, after the punishment, you wouldn’t need anyone to remind you before you accord respect to elders.

So, their being strict is just their way of imbibing good morals into you and ensuring you become a better person. Just that they take this act to the extreme! Sadly, if care isn’t taken their purpose for being strict will be nullified as the child becomes rebellious. In response to this, flexibility is more effective than consistency in parenting— You should try that out. 

Furthermore, there are ways of dealing with strict Nigerian parents, you could learn to prevent them from going extreme and make them understand you more. Also, as a Nigerian parent, this is the correct way to discipline your child.

Ways of Dealing With Strict Nigerian Parents

1. Obey Their Instructions

It gladdens the heart of every Nigerian parent when their children obey their instructions. As a child, being disobedient to your parent’s instructions is never going to stop them from assigning household chores to you or make them love you. 

God gave you as a blessing to your parents, hence, be always willing to run errands for them especially little errands like get me this or that, or just wash my car, or go to the market.

When they see your obedience, they will always have a rethink before punishing you when something goes wrong. Neither will they impose their will on you. But, if you disobey, or you always complain or give funny faces when sent, I tell you the truth you’re giving them more reason to be strict on you.

2. Be Respectful

The attitude of respect is an effective way of dealing with strict Nigerian parents because you can’t fight them by being disrespectful— It is never going to work out that way. All parents want to be respected and honored by their children, especially fathers. If you fail to respect them, they will get it through the tough way by being strict on you. 

Oftentimes, you may have needs or requests you want them to give to you, but since you can’t show them some respect, your needs are ignored.

Fortunately, you can fine-tune your parents to always meet your needs by giving them respect and regard. This is often reflected in your words, actions, and behaviors.

3. Be the Best at All You Do

No parent is proud of a child that’s a failure or brings shame to the family. In contrast, they love to brag about their child to others if that child is doing well. Now, ask yourself, what will make my parents strict on me if I make them proud at all times? Especially when your academic performance is excellent. Always aim at the best academically, career-wise, or at the skill you’re currently learning.

For instance, during my secondary school days, I always came back home with good grades and received a lot of awards. My parents were always proud of me and provided for my needs even without me having to ask for them. You can try that out too.

4. Live a Trustworthy Lifestyle

There is no use living a lifestyle that your parents can’t vouch for you in public or in your absence. The less transparent you’re or secretive the more doubt you create in the minds of your parents. In response to this, they will make sure they discipline you in their unique way. Similarly, when you engage in telling lies.

Therefore, when dealing with strict Nigerian parents ensure you’re open to them, let them be able to count on you as their child. Also, you don’t have to lie about your fees to get more money from them—Learn to be content with what their hands provide for you. Most importantly, don’t betray the trust they have given you.

5. Understand Their Facial Expressions

I haven’t meant any Nigerian parents that don’t use facial signs as a means of effective communication, especially mothers. In essence, facial signs are nonverbal means of communicating information. So, Nigerian parents use facial signs to pass across a message to their children when they don’t want others to hear/understand their conversation.

Therefore, you will do yourself a lot more good by understanding those facial expressions and signs, this will avert lots of punishment from your lane.

6. Make Yourself Useful

Put a smile on the face of your parents by making yourself useful to your parents. In other words, assist them where need be. Perhaps, they have a store they manage or a business they run, instead of sitting and doing nothing, go and help them. Dealing with strict Nigerian parents becomes easy when your parents feel your impact around. Let them know they are missing something when you’re not around and watch them meet your needs as well.

7. Practice Effective Communication

Are they opinions you want to air out but haven’t gotten that opportunity? You may be trying to make your parents understand your point of view but your trial seems useless. However, learning about the 7’c of communication is an effective way of dealing with strict Nigerian parents, this will guide you on how to better state your point. In a nutshell, not every hour or atmosphere is best for communication.

Hence, if you desire to make your parents understand your perspective, approach them when they are in a good mode, likewise, ensure to select your words wisely and keep your tone calm.

8. Get Support When Forced

Perhaps, you find yourself being pressured into a career you don’t like or something else outside your will, worry less, and continue reading. Rebelling or disobeying or fighting your parents won’t solve these issues rather get the backing of a trusted third party.

Furthermore, this person has to be someone who can relate to your parents and explain things better to them. Oftentimes, your parents might not listen to you, but when they see another parent or adult they will find more reason to.

Conclusion

In a nutshell, dealing with strict Nigerian parents is doable when you follow the right procedures. Hence, you don’t have to feel maltreated or neglected emotionally nor do you have to use dubious means to make your parents understand you. In essence, be patient while applying the above-listed method.

Less air in the chamber lowers the pressure inside, which prompts blood to be sucked into the nipple when the nipple is drawn in. The nipple’s increased blood flow may make it more sensitive and engorged.

When used properly and without oversuction, a homemade nipple sucker is totally safe. Additionally, it is safe to use as long as the materials used to make it, such as latex gloves, plastic tubes, and glass bottles, are clean, sanitised and not broken.
