The 12 Top Reasons Why Igbos And Yorubas Should Not Marry by AmicableEd: 4:06pm On May 19, 2013
Hahaha, who agrees with Vera Ezimora abeg, lol!
The most popular union seems to be the one between the Igbos and the Yorubas. With this in mind, I have compiled a list, specially for everyone who is currently in such a relationship. If you have been pressured into breaking up because of tribal differences and you have no idea why you should – or if you should, then I am here to help you make that decision. Please read, digest, and understand the lists below.
Reasons Igbos Should NOT Marry Yorubas:
1. They’re dirty.
2. All they know how to do is party.
3. They eat too much oil.
4. Their women flirt/sleep around too much.
5. Their men will ALWAYS cheat with a Yoruba woman.
6. They are loud and obnoxious. You can hear them from a mile away.
7. They are wild. They are the real “Akata” people.
8. They are Nigeria’s problem.
9. They don’t understand the Igbo culture.
10. They do too much juju.
11. They betrayed the Igbos during the Biafran war.
12. And to top the list, they are not Igbo.

Reasons Yorubas Should NOT Marry Igbos:
1. They’re rude; they have no respect.
2. All they know how to do is chase money.
3. Their pounded yam is as hard as stone.
4. They don’t put enough oil and spice in their food.
5. Their in-laws are wicked! The husband’s family will always maltreat the woman.
6. They cannot speak Yoruba, and even if they can, they do not know our culture.
7. They will sell their brother for money.
8. They won’t let us play our fuji music at home.
9. They’re Nigeria’s problem. They keep trying to divide us.
10. When their women die, their bodies have to be returned to Igbo Land to be buried.
11. They eat human beings.
12. And the mother of all crimes, they are not Yoruba.

Top 12 Reasons You Should NOT Consider Before Getting Married
1. He/she does not appreciate you.
2. He/she has a turbulent past and a shaky present.
3. He/she can never be faithful to you. And you know this.
4. You have nothing in common, except your tribe, of course.
5. Your dreams, values, and aspirations couldn’t be further apart from each other – even if you stretched them thin.
6. He/she just doesn’t get you.
7. He/she knows how to bring out the worst in you.
8. You cannot quite place your finger on it, but you know that something isn’t right with this relationship...

Different ppl with different ways of thinking.pls tell me who cant flirt wen der is room for it,who cant cheat,who doesnt like money......just dat our perspectives to issues differs,take for instance;ma sister is married to an Igbo man although both are God fearing,soo dat checks der tendency to sin,still d husbands way being a lawyer worsened things,it raised much of his ego and 1 thing i hate in him is dat PRIDE refflects in his ways and talk and dat is d only thing i have against dem although i learnt a lot frm him positively.sooo ders nofin wrong in getting along togeda,but make sure Christ is ur fundation,cus without HIM d home will crumble[color=#990000][/color][b][/b]

Only one reason will scrap this.

Yorubas should not marry Igbos because they have done nothing good than bringing shame to the country called nigeria. On the ground that

They are criminally minded
If yoy check the populations of Nigerians currently in Jail, you find them to be Igbos. Iran, Botswana, Pakistan, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Mali, South Africa, Rep of Benin, you find many of them to be igbos.

They do no good than cheating and crime which is in their blood.

Look at the number of Yorubas on that list, it is absolutely outstanding. Before you remove the speck from another person's eye, remove the filth from your own eye. Criminally minded my äss, go tell that to your people as well.

You claim to be a university graduate but the above post proves you are a semi illiterate.
Where in Ngwaland do they eat human meat?
I am from Imo State and have heard series of stories about Ngwa people being canibbals. About 12 years ago we were in Ngwaland to marry a certain girl and I was afraid they could eat my meat, but its over 12 years since we married from Ngwa and nothing like that has happened. I have been to many villages in Ngwa and nobody eats anybody's meat. It is only a semi illiterate that would believe those tales by moonlight.

Is this the best list you can come with?

Let us start with 1966, who caused the killings of 2 million Yigbos, who caused the civil war, coward Ojukwu, is he a yoruba man?

Ask google.

Bros, to be honest, it's blockheads that are making a tribal issue out of the OP. They're fighting because they are sociopathic mmorons who bark and growl at the sound of their tribe's name not because there's anything wrong with the OP.

I think it's mostly people who have been at war so long that everything that moves is suddenly an enemy.
Re: The 12 Top Reasons Why Igbos And Yorubas Should Not Marry by Nobody: 11:58am On May 20, 2013
I'm not here to debate on which tribe is criminally worse, that's an effort in futility. I can come up with a million sources showing the different crimes Yoruba people committed, just as you can for the Igbo people. My point is stop making it seem like Yoruba people are devoid of terrible crimes and atrocities, your people are equally not saintly so drop your useless brouhaha. You don't even know how silly your rebuttal makes you look. The OP was being sarcastic but tribalism has sucked deep into your brain that you totally did not see it.

P.S: That list was pretty comprehensive. Why don't you tell me why your brothers were engaged in credit card fraud? cat got ya tongue?
