RE: Steemit Engagement Challenge Week 2 || Nkuho (Bride Fattening) Culture of South-Eastern Nigeria
Hahahaha this tradition is sooo funny
It means at that time all the women at marriage age were all very bulky or over weight 😂
Well on the bright side they are taught skills
But I do have questions
Is the fattening tradition practiced up till now?
Do they still mutilate the girls up till now?
Or have they stopped
A few regions still mutilate the girls but many CSOs and NGOs are making efforts to educate communities on the dangers of this practice and discourage them from continuing with the practice of female genital mutilation. Our wish is that this tradition be filtered and refined, leaving out the negatives and sustaining and enhancing the positives.
Ok! Got it!
