What Is The Meaning Of 'Dada' (Dreadlocks) In Nigeria?
Dec 3rd 2012, 21:36

I dont mean the Taribo West style,Ras Kimono or even Basket Mouth type which are all 'man-made' and surely deliberately done 4 cosmetic reasons....I speak about some children with dreadlocks which they even carry into their school-age years unshaved because it is connected to some deity and the child will die anyday the hair is cut without his consent and certain rituals done....No one is allowed to touch their hair.Sometimes the parents claim that even after shaving the hair off,it naturally re-grew in dreadlocked pattern again and would continue thus until d ritual of shaving is done!....People I dont yet understand this issue but it is with us...and some ppl here on NL may have been candidates(dada) too....Plz let someone educate us more.
