Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]Hello everyone and welcome to Eco Studio.

[00:00:03]Today we are in the land of um and like I promised you yesterday we are going to be moving from one part of Islam land to the other because we only want any restriction in our programs. We want to cover all the part of Islam and even beyond.

[00:00:26]So today we are having a chat with one of our foremost sons here in Moland.

[00:00:33]A man who knows deeply about Asan culture, tradition and history and a real Asan promoter. So you'll be hearing a lot of uh lectures, questions and answers from him this morning as we bring our program again to the desktop of every ego studio followers and lovers.

[00:01:02]Yeah, just Sunday I mar studio London, UK.

[00:01:10]So you can see the gentleman right by my side here sitting and he's always ready for whatever we are going to be dishing out to you on this channel today. Sir, welcome to Eagle Studio sir.

[00:01:24]>> Thank you sir.

[00:01:25]>> Yeah yeah yeah our viewers want to know you >> by your self introduction.

[00:01:30]>> Okay. My name is uh Dr. Akoy.

[00:01:34]I'm Isa son from EPA uh a a convenor of Asan culture and tradition. Dr. Akame is my name. Welcome via good afternoon, good morning, good evening wherever you are watching us from. God bless you.

[00:01:50]>> Yeah, you said doctor. Dr. I can't kind of doctor talking about what [laughter] >> a traditional doctor of Asa estra.

[00:02:00]traditional a traditional doctor of Isa estra.

[00:02:04]>> Yeah, I think getting very right.

[00:02:06]>> Yes, a traditional doctor that promote is tradition.

[00:02:12]>> So you've heard from him directly. So we having a chat with Dr. and today we are going to center our lecture questioning and others on taboos.

[00:02:27]Here is some taboos. You know taboos are observed almost everywhere in the world. There are things you do in one part of the world that are forbidden in another part. There are things that are forbidden here that are done in other part again. So you see it is not a restriction to asan people or as culture. It is the universal norm or universal practices.

[00:02:55]So today we'll be talking about asam tabos and you see why sometimes we have to do it like this again is a salad is vast and sometimes what is in part a in salad might not be forbidden in part B but at the end of the day there's always a meeting point or a point of agreement.

[00:03:18]So today we'll be talking about asan tap though from the perspectives though generally asan but at the end of the day we may find the meeting ground or whatever. So sir you're welcome to go and I want to I want us to start by the definition of taboo. What is tab? And please we want your explanation to be in both Isa language and English language because >> okay >> it is not good isa people have to borrow dictionary before [laughter] knowing what they is saying to any kind of cross polition.

[00:03:56]>> Okay.

[00:03:57]>> Thank you very much.

[00:03:57]>> You're welcome viewers. Uh like I said earlier my name's Dr. E.

[00:04:03]Today we are talking about taboos in Asa in general.

[00:04:09]What are taboos? Taboos are social rules custom that certain action, words, topic or behavior are offline or forbidden within a group or a culture.

[00:04:25]It has an offline. It can be a words. It can be action that you do.

[00:04:32]So, Maybe linguistic dialect.

[00:05:06]So what are taboos? Taboo are social rules custom that certain action words topics and behavior are offline. What I mean by offline is not to be done. Rules and regulations are there to put you online. So if you are offline that means you have committing taboos. So forbidden within group or culture. Taboo are of different types. We have food taboos. We have speech taboo and we have behavioral taboo and we have contact taboo. In this cont speech when you say certain things within family within father within wife and husband they are taboo. Behavioral taboo they are behavioral taboo. Maybe when you spit on your wife and your wife spit on you that is behavior. That is you have spit on your wife it is a taboo in Islam. So these are behavioral and they are food like in my place now in some places in they don't eat or that is taboo of food.

[00:06:46]So these are taboos to culture, taboos to food, taboos to behavior, taboos to speech.

[00:06:56]Like I said earlier, you can be angry with your wife.

[00:07:01]That is already a taboo that our ancestors will be angry with because it is a taboo spoken to your wife or to a child. Maybe you tell a child that those are taboos. But because of the western culture, we are trying to uh see some >> imitate.

[00:07:21]>> We maybe put them as an outcast. You feel that they are not more working. You feel that because you are in like somebody in Lagos now they do do anything. They say anything but they don't know there are taboos that deter you from breakthrough from your progress. There are a lot of taboo in this land that deter you from your progress.

[00:07:53]So So if we go to look at taboos now how it affects the family affects the society and the community you know I was on her one time somebody was telling me in me land it's only woman that taboos affect I said no it is not Do taboo will affect both man and woman but the ones of the men might be limited might be very small because we pay bright price on woman so there are some things you as my wife like I don't want to use the word property it's not supposed to do in these days when you or your wife not to do some things they do it you know you do do it but those days when their husband tell them this where they should stay that's where they Okay. So there are taboo affecting the child. There are taboo affecting the husband and there taboos affecting the wife majorly.

[00:09:03]The child already know these are taboo.

[00:09:16]These are taboos in so you are to know those things. The major of the problem today is that most of us don't know our rules and regulation. Our taboos, taboos are rules and regulation. It's like when we talk of a committee and committee when they have taboo between let's say that is land dispute on community to community. receive covenant. Thank you.

[00:10:02]So you have to know but major these days most of us have discard our culture. We have discard our tradition. We don't even know taboos that affect us. There are taboos that when a son sleep with his mother there are taboos when you sleep with the king's there punishment for all those things. These are taboos.

[00:10:29]So these are taboos. That's why it's major related to women.

[00:10:43]If a man spits on his wife is forbidden is forbidden. If you use your shoe to hit your wife is a forbidden thing.

[00:11:04]You know that's why we still believe in recation. So because those things if he doesn't do it when you come in the other life you will surely pay for it.

[00:11:16]So if you have been beating your wife you have been doing evil batting talking nonchalanting nonchalantly to your wife you are coming if you don't pay it in this time you pay it in when you come the other other time. Oh, these are taboos in Islam. So majorly the taboo affects the women majorly.

[00:12:02]>> Okay. Thank you very very much.

[00:12:30]to be plug blocking the progress of such a man. Then it might not affect him until maybe one of them confess or maybe that is you have slept with another man.

[00:12:50]So now confess so from there that such thing will be exposed. So the the community or the will not attend to that majorly these things are lower committee that or such person do attend to it. But you know in those days it was between community to community. But now [laughter] >> [clears throat] >> But so that is why sometimes major consequences. Yeah, these are the consequences I'm trying to the the the the children will not be progressive.

[00:14:12]When he had a wound, the wound will not heal easily.

[00:14:36]Okay.

[00:14:45]So because deprived.

[00:15:12]So, water.

[00:15:36]Rose dwelling.

[00:15:56]Obama.

[00:16:14]So, so because Yes.

[00:16:40]Okay.

[00:16:57]When they come again, recate again that marks will be there.

[00:17:00]>> Okay.

[00:17:15]Mhm.

[00:17:39]So that is how taboos or the dos and the don'ts what you don't do do affect you maybe here in this life or a year after when you recalate those things affect you but today people don't believe in incarnation people don't believe in our ro they don't believe but it do happen because we have seen we are always seen it we treat issues like that so once you go against the taboss of like in my definition he said when certain actions there some action you These are taboo.
