Do igbos and yorubas marriage?

@ Poster : Frankly speaking, all tribes have an issue with each other so its really not just igbo and yoruba, my dear. So this is what i believe, its not about tribe but about the person you are in the relationship with. My uncle is married to a yoruba woman and this is alomst 10 years and they are still together. I know a couple of other people in similar marriages, so have no feel, all that really matters is LOVE.

tRoOE:

It easy for Igbo girls to marry Yoruba man
but it's going to be tough for you since you are a girl
becos most Igbo parents does not really support their sons marrying girls outside their tribe
I have friends who are half igbo, but their mothers are all igbo
Igbo men love and cherish their family, so going against their parent wish is tough

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

What do you want to hear?
That you shouldn't date an Igbo man?

I smell a tribal war coming soon. .

why rely on what we have to say? You know the relationship better than us abi?

She is seeking opinion, that is nt reliance.

@ poster nt familiar with inter tribal marriages bt i shld think d foundatn shld be an agreement btwn u 2 to tie d knot, that seems 2 be missn.

My dear, Igbo guys do marry yoruba girls. At least my family has some Igbo/yourba marriages to our credit. But you must know that not every family would support that idea. In your own case, his parents didn't raise eyebrows when you were being introduced to them, they treated you very well; what else do you want my dear? (Am sure his mum even calls you Ada) If you feel comfortable with his family members then go ahead with the relationship. One secrete you should know about Igbo parents is that if they don't like you, they won't even talk to you. When you greet them, they won't respond you. They would spend the larger half of the day working out strategies on how to delete you from their son's heart. But your case isn't like that; you were welcomed with open arms. So cheer up my dear and fear not for all is well.

@poster,
like Vie said,every tribe have issues not only ibo,even your own tribe,the best advice given to you was by crazy kid.go with what he said cuz that's the truth.

@crazykid,
Nice one there,my thoughts same.

I no try to start tribal war.  I love him, but people they say i dey waste my time.

Hey sweety

Let me tell you certain facts from my own observation:

Igbo men marry Igbo women

Igbo women marry Yoruba men(most cases the Yoruba men are very very rich ::ego talks: )

Yoruba men are very open to other tribes(compared to Igbo men)

Igbo men marry Yoruba women if and only if ego is there in abundance

Igbo men invest in relationships

Igbo women only date very rich guys irrespective of their tribes :bling bling:

Yet there are exceptions, depending on the family background of your love(lover, boyfriend, girlfriend, partner) and your love for each other.


I am not Igbo by the way, i once dated an Igbo guy and he wanted to use style to find out how rich i was . . . hehe 

It's proven. This glorina has issues.

no, i'm not a tribalist. It's the plain truth. By the way i was speaking from my own observation

The poster wanted to know the situation between Igbo men and Yoruba women in general. And as i already mentioned, there are exceptions.
The fact that his parents recieved her does not mean they liked her from their hearts(unfortunately you can never tell the minds of people)

@Poster

There could be different reasons why he doesn't want any commitment. And only him and God knows why. All you need to do is pray about it and ask for God's will to be done.

You could also discuss the issue(Igbo men and Yoruba women) with him. I hope for you he tells you the REAL reason why he doesn't wanna marry you

Goodluck sis

The issue of money(EGO)talk has always being a Nigerian thing not only Igbos please.

yemi09:

I am not trying to start a tribal war. I do love this guy. We are not currently together in a relationship, but I want him back. He tells me that he still loves me and I can see by his actions towards me that he still does. He's just telling me that he doesn't want to be in a committed relationship right now.

A lot of peple are telling me their war stories about their personal experiences with igbo men or someone close to them's experience and it is all sounding the same. They are telling me that it was probably his parents that don't want him with a yoruba girl. But, I keep telling people that his parents embraced me from the begining. People tell me that the mother may be pretending with me so that I don't blame her for the end of the relationship.

So, I posted my question to ask is this usually true with some igbo parents (not all). Do they pretend to like the girl just to cover up. His parents are in Nigeria, so I don't see them all the time. I still love him, but everyone is telling me that I am wasting my time.

Forget about his parents and stories you've heard from Okonkwo and Funmilayo and focus on the highlighted part.
This has absolutely nothing to do with tribe
The man has told you he's not interested in a commited relationship right now and you're still pursuing him.
From one woman to another,I'll advise you to get some confidence in yourself and forget this man.
He doesn't love you anymore and that's what he's tryng to tell you.
Find another Emeka or Chidi or even ozioma

@poster,

How many times shall we discuse this issue before you understand? The problem is not from the parents or relatives rather from your guy if he says no no one is in position to force him on you. Time has pass when parents and relatives recommends wife/husband except he/she is a village champion.

Tribe does not matter at all, it's the love that matters, as long as you are both human beings I say as long as you feel that he is the person you wish to spend the rest of your life with vice versa, go and marry him

glorina:

Don't worry. You'll be alright, Nnugwo?

What truth? You are bitter because some ordinary dude left you. I don't expect any less from bitter women.

Will you marry an eskimo or real uncircumcised aboki from chad?
