Yield: I know many Nigerian parents are against their kids marrying outside their tribe and many people don't want to go against their parents' wishes, so I get where you're coming from. My ex broke up with his ex because she's from another tribe and his parents, especially his mom, holds certain notions about this particular tribe (which I do not want to get into). It is us, the children, who're perpetrating some of our parents' prejudices simply by keeping silent.
Hey note, my mum doesn't hate other tribes. Infact, she has been involved in an intertribal relationship during her youthful days and all the family drama that happened led to her sentiments (which I share). The problem is not with my family, but my family-in-law to be! My mum will not put a rope to my neck if I insist I wanna marry from another tribe(she respects my opinion as well). But in this context, I share her sentiments! And I know why...

El Guapo:

Only in movies?

Boy u're clamped to dumb notions really and would live with regrets if you dont regress in time to make self thought up decision.

You can go on to tell us your parents also specify the kinda snacks u take, shoes u wear, songs u listen to etc - Just tell us at ur late twenty ur Parents' preferences are imposed on you.

Grasp a premonition when one calls.
Is this one okay undecided? Mtcheeeeeew!

not sure why people want to be patted on the back just because they chose to date from somewhere.

how exactly does all this concern others outside the trumpeting.

when too much noise is made over something in YOUR PERSONAL LIFE, shows the noisemaker has serious doubts they are trying to cover.

if you're convinced of your decision, you wont need to make so much noise over it.

na party?

@ sanniemoe, i had to restrain myself from insulting the daylights out of you when i first read your post, for your information due to the predominant catholic presence in igbo land, divorce is more or less seen as a taboo, the traditional religion abhors it sef thats why a typical igbo woman will rather "endure" whatever kind of character being displayed by her hubby than to leave the marriage, as for your claim to infidelity, hmmm i wont even answer you untill you tell us what tribe you are from?.....and by the way the last time i checked most igbo girls dont like marrying non-igbo men.

Not every tribe is perfect, Igbo inclusive, so don't take offense when someone doesn't find it appealing. Just as you think "Igbo men have it all", someone will think another tribe has it all.

God punish stereotypes.

LastApostle: I dread yoruba women(too dirty)grin

I despise northern women except benue/plateau breed.

I do ibo ladies( though materialistic). They are home keepers and committed in their marriages.

I can do upland rivers state but the riverine ones are something else.

Delta girls rocks ( they are the sophisticated breeds in Nigeria)

Akwa ibom/ Calabar women are the bomb and I don't mind committing to any!

Foreign marriage/ relationship? Count me out. Such don't last. A time bomb!!!


But the bible said: Marry from your tribe for maximum peace of MIND.

speedyboi: I would have loved to. But I'm pretty sure my mummy won't let me (and I respect her decision not matter what) and my bride's family will probably also pick up a case. So I'd rather not complicate my relationship with too many 'odds'.
Nwa mummy. Better watch it wink

tpia@:


and why do people intentionally date tribes they know their parents wont approve of, then come back to complain?

if you make the decision, then face it squarely, one should assume you have counted the cost?
