DO YOU KNOW THAT IN IGBO TRADITION, SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
IS ALLOWED, BUT WITH A TANGIBLE REASON

NOW LISTEN,,,,,

The Igbo people have a culture that permits same-s*x marriage but not same s*x copulation.

In this kind of marriage, a widow who has past menopause but without a child or male child goes ahead to marry a younger woman of reproductive age,

So that she could bear sons to continue the lineage of her late husband.

The older woman informs the umunna (kinsmen) about her decision to marry a younger woman.

The umunna knowing that this is a great sacrifice,

Supports her and accompanies her to ask for the maidens hand in marriage.

She pays the bride price and automatically becomes the husband of the young maiden.

In most cases, such widows prefers to marry a woman whom has given birth to children outside wedlock( especially male children),

Because in Igbo land, only bride price validates father hood.

The aged widow, after marrying her wife is given a special honour and place amongst the men.

In some parts of Igbo land, such women are forbidden from having affairs; they must live the rest of their lives without feeling the warmth of a man.

It is also important to note that the marriage between these women are NON SEXUAL marriage.

Homos*xuality is an abomination in Igbo land.

The younger maiden chooses a man of her choice among the ụmụnna for procreation.

Whatever child she bears is considered the legitimate child of the widow's husband and he or she bears the late husband's name.

This culture has helped in preserving and ensuring the continuity of different lineage.

Please if this is not correct I beg to be corrected 🙏🙏🙏

OKPOHO

The Okpoho is an ancient money invented by the Igbos and used extensively in the 16th century AD across West Africa as a medium of monetary exchange in trade between the Europeans and indigenous west Africans.

Made of bronze or copper, the Okpoho was usually formed into a ring-shaped object that looked like a bracelet with each end of the ring flattened out. Because it looked like a bracelet (and in fact, was sometimes worn around the wrists, neck or ankles as bracelets by women of wealthy husbands), the Spanish called it 'manilla', meaning bracelets.

The Okpoho originated in Enugu igbo land, Okpoho is the name of Igbo blacksmith town in modern day Ezeagu LGA Enugu State where Manilla was traditionally minted and circulated all over Igboland and beyond. However was wrongly accredited to ancient Calabar City, Efik country, and its use was documented in the 16th AD as a medium of monetary exchange where one Okpoho bought one elephant tooth, and one slave could be bought for 8 to 10 Okpohos during the slave trade era.

The Okpoho is also featured at the back of the Nigerian 🇳🇬 N100 currency note, and also in the Akwa Ibom State seal, and in many other places.

Table of summary:
Name: Okpoho
Function: money
Origin: Calabar, Efik country.
Region used: West Africa
Material: Bronze, copper, or brass.
Invented: around 16th century AD
Declined: April 1, 1949.
Replaced by: British Pound

Yet if you go to Wikipedia page, you see that they listed Calabar as the origin of Manilla.

This is because the colonials first saw Manilla at Calabar slave ports being used by Aros and Efiks for exchange of slaves .
And in error, they accredited Calabar with the money.
Even When Efiks are not known as blacksmiths, they have no iron ore minning sites in Efik land, so how could they have invented Manilla.

Moreover even in Efik, Manilla is called Okpoho.
Guess what? Okpoho is the name of Igbo blacksmith town in modern day Ezeagu LGA Enugu State where Manilla was traditionally minted and circulated all over Igboland and beyond.
Okpoho people were like the CBN of Ancient Igboland, minting Okpoho aka "Ego-Igwe".
Manilla is so Ancient to Igboland that it was even found among the materials buried in Igbo ukwu.

Okpogho Manilla were found in Igbo Ukwu excavation that is dated 9th and 10th AD.
The Nri identified all the objects found there including Okpogho.

Connect the dots.
