11/01/2015: CAUTION REGARDING DELICATE TOPICS AHEAD
Days of Toil
Nov-2015 CAVEAT: DELICATE TOPICS NOW ON “IGBO FORUM/IGBO CUSTOMS”
READER’S DISCRETION IS ADVISED!
My current post, for December 2015 (See IGBO FORUM/Igbo Customs), like the last one (for November ), addresses a rather controversial topic. The topics are controversial because they are delicate. The current topic explores the concept of approved extra-marital sexual practices among Igbo families of old –a topic most Igbos would rather not countenance today.
But, whether popular or not, they are part of our heritage and skipping them would be like trying to sanitize US history by omitting any mention of slavery!
