July 20, 2017 – 70 Year Old Widowed Grandmother Caught Sleeping With 30 Year Old Boyfriend In Ebonyi Fined To Appease The Gods
According to Daily Post, a 70-year-old widow identified as one Mrs Maria Okoh who hails from Amauzzu Nkpoghoro village in Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State was on Tuesday banished from the community over alleged sex scandal.
The accused was also paraded in the market shortly after being caught by her grand daughter having sex with her lover on her late husband’s bed.
It was gathered that the grand daughter whose identity was yet to be known at the time of filing this report was said to have gone to her grandmother’s house to give her some food items which she bought for her.
It was further disclosed that on her arrival, she went to her grandmother’s room only to see her grandmother on the bed stack naked making love with a man in his 30’s, old enough to be her son.
On seeing the abominable act, the grand daughter who is also married, raised alarm and immediately reported the matter to the elders of the community, who in turn alerted youths of the village.
The villagers immediately dragged the widow and her lover out of the house, where they have been hiding in shame, paraded them round the community, chanting disgraceful songs behind them as punishment for their act.
A source who spoke on condition of unanimity said that it was a taboo for a woman to have sex with another man in the husband’s bed, stressing that the worst punishment was melted on anyone who continued to commits such abominable act in Afikpo.
He said that the woman would have faced a greater punishment if her husband was still alive.
He further revealed that the act has brought shame to the widow’s family, adding that the widow was among the most respected women in the community before the incident.
It was also gathered that according to the community’s custom, the woman would give three goats as fine after being paraded round the village to appease the land.
What is wrong with her having a younger man as lover. If it was a man it would have been ok, how so ironic and a two faced society, Why is she not human with feelings. We women are our own worst enemy. We allow tradition, society and culture dictate our lives. After all is she not a widow?
WHY ALL THIS, SHE IS STILL ACTIVE SO WHAT? THIS IS NOT SAME SEX MY PEOPLE KILODE WHY NOW. IF SHE LIKE SEX LET HER ENJOY HERSELF NOW.
That “thing” doesn’t eat cassava, akamu or chicken. She’s human also and her husband is deceased. I for one, will not date a younger man, how much more young enough to be my son (I am old school). If men go after much younger women and the gentleman doesn’t mind going into a wrinkled p—y, whose problem is that? There was no sense in publicly humiliating them and shame on the granddaughter. They’re still very primitive in their community. I hope the granddaughter doesn’t find herself in her grandma’s position some day.
There are some archaic customs that need to be scrapped such as this one…her husband is dead,therefore,she is in control of everything,including the bed,besides,that’s not another person’s husband,So let them leave her alone before all of them go blind.
Lola O. It doesn’t matter whether you are an old school. Young man is good for you,they are always more energetic having fresh blood running their vain. Nothing is wrong with a single woman in her 50s dating a young guy of 30s. The difference is always their no doubt. Based on the story above,the elderly woman shouldn’t have brought that young boy into her matrimonial home for sex. No matter where she lives in Nigeria,she will be shamed for doing that in her deceased husbands house at that age. It appears the woman is still sexually active. Then she should have worked out a place for themselves to have sex and not in her husband’s compound.
Work out a place kwa? How and where? Is it not to prevent the society frowning at her, if they see her at hotel or the man house, that made her decide to use her only abode which is lonely and free to satisfy her need. Afipo people are just too backward and not just there, many towns and villages in Igbo land. Also, women are just the own enemies. I see nothing wrong in what she did. Its her right and the ignorant and backward people in her village need to stop her
THIS IS THE ASPECT OYINBOS ARE CONSIDERATE ABOUT ONES FEELING. WHITE DONT CARE ABOUT AGE WHEN IT COMES TO SEX. SO LET THEM BE IT IS LEFT FOR THEM TO DECIDE WHEN TO PICK UP THEIR WEDDING DATE.AFTERALL HER HUSBAND IS LATE.
Based on what i understood on this issue. Its an abomination to the gods of the land of the community,a widow to makes love on the bed of her husband.
Besides its the custom of the land.!!!!! But a GrandMa dating/making love with her young man is not big deal. its a matter of choice. Thus,Its happening everywhere in the world today. Grand-daughter- your name has been registered in the spirit land of gods by exposed your GrandMa without consulting the family member firstly.Remember the gods don’t judged like humans. You have committed life all the rest of your life. Sorry-Grand-Daughter
I agree that it was a taboo doing it on her late husband’s house, but then this woman is going to be lonely till she dies or what? What punishment is that. We are all human beings and we all have feelings, so what is wrong. The husband is dead so maybe the grand daughter should have bought her a new bed if the case of doing it on the dead man’s matrimonial bed is wrong and a taboo, when are we going to scrap these taboo and abomination issues and let people live their lives to the fullest in what is good and morally right.
I guess there should be a mutual agreement btw these two? This is very shameful.
