Some traditions/cultures you might have never heard about in Africa
Hello everyone
Hope we are having a good day. I was searching for something to write and I came across this. Seriously you wouldn't believeš¤ that there are some traditions you don't know still exit. Like you might ask yourself where is this done in this modern age, but some of this traditions are recognized while some might leave you wondering šš
In Banyakole (Uganda) where the aunt will test the groom
When I saw this first, it was kind of funny to me, I imagined if it were to be in Nigeria, issues will arise ooo šš.
So here in Banyakole tribe in Uganda, virginity is highly regarded, the girls stay away sex until they are married. And if any is found not a virgin such a person would face the penelty, which might not be funny. Further more this tribe don't take the slim physique to be that good looking so they love them fat.
The standards of a marriage here is based on virginity so the aunty of the bride will have to test her to know if she is still a virgin ; seriously so she still been a virgin shows that she knows notting about sex.
The aunty will further test the abilities of the groom through sex, with this process she gets to understand he's styles of sex, so as to convey this information to her niece on how to treat her man.
The lip plate
These is practiced by the surma tribe in southern Sudan also southwestern Ethiopia. The females pass through this at teenage level, this is carried out by taking off their lower teeth so that the lip plate can fit in.
Same happen with their men on the ears. Same goes with their warriors, they inflict scars on their body, so is said that the more the scars the more attractive they become.
Hamar (Bull Jumping) in Ethiopia
Young males pass through a certain ritual to show that their ready to be men.
It comprises of different events.
A young boy must undress, run, jump and land on the back of a bull. The next is a race on the backs of several bulls arranged in a straight, tight herd pulled by tail and horned horns by older men. This practice is called "Hamar".

Thatās hilarious š and painful at same time why would dey make such tradition itās so unfair why will the bride keep her virginity for marriage and they wonāt let her have her husband first thatās so unfair, why would it be the aunt that will communicate the information to her after she had tested someoneās husband, canāt the husband tell
His wife how he likes it š¤·š¼š¤¦š¼ Must it be the aunt that will test and communicate the info to her not fair at all, how Will the aunt be able to face her donāt they have heart ahhhh me I wound be able to ooo and as for the those other guys that take off there teeth for plate I didnāt understand how they do fix that plate do they do it round the hole down what am I even saying ahhh I didnāt even understand thatās there business š how can that even make them to be effective šš¤·š¼ Something that will be do heavy and wonāt even make them run fast and also how do they eat am still wondering that too ahhh my head is aching me right now I didnāt have much strength for too much thinking š I mouve š¶š¶
