After my sister had her first two kids, during the naming of her 2nd child, she was like "whew! I have finally completed my job of giving birth" (she was happy he had one boy and one girl and was sure her hubby will be ok with that) Her hubby looked at her like "says who??" I laff fall from my chair |

Sweetlemon: U don't even understand urself let alone ur unreasonable research without proper facts and findings. U said ur statement was all about "large family" and many people dat commented misinterpreted statement for "polygamy"....it really shows dat u cannot differentiate between "large family" and "extended family" as u claimed in ur so called fricky sticky wicky research. 1 Like |

Ur finding isnt true. I have Lived in lagos and some other part of the west and I can say that it is the same tins ova there. When a man isn't educated and is into farming and also owe a house for himself, the tendency of having alot of kids is there regardless of the tribe. U said u finished from a school in Benin,i suppose dat is uniben. Apart from Uselu, ringroad and new benin, I don't think u know other places apart from these ones. I also finished from uniben and for d four years I was there, I didn't know 5 junction, a lot of uniben students dont hv d time to cruise d state apart from those that live in benin. So that u schooled in benin doesn't mean dat u know so much abt the benin. I hv been in benin for abt 7 years now, like on the street I stay now there are very few couples that one of them is from a different tribe. So u might hv to do more research b4 u conclude. For the intertribal marriage, binis don't hv an issue marrying out except for some few tribes like the Esan though in Edo state( but dat is becoming a tin of the past sha) A good reason for dat (apart from hving an open mind) is because binis hardly speak their language, someone dat doesnt speak his/her language is as good as lost. |

Although I'm neither from Benin nor Edo,I've always loved that state called Edo and the people from there,especially the Benin,because they have a very rich culture,and I love the way they dress,and even their songs and even their names. Ever since I understood what marriage meant,I've always prayed to God to give me a man from Benin or a man from the urhobo,itsekiri(pardon my spelling) part of delta state(although I prefer God's plan for my life),the only problem is mothers with their "don't marry people from here,don't marry people from that". But the truth of the matter is I love Benin and everything about that kingdom. |

chronique: Sweetlemon,sweetest lemonade. Your sister has done well by marrying one of us. Why not follow suit? Marry me and I promise we won't have too many children. Me,I will pity you. . I really can't say cos I'm not bini per say;I'm esan. But I know from way back,it has always been a thing of pride for our men to father many children(since polygamy was almost like a culture to us). It used to be pretty rare to see an indigene who was born and bred in that state,who didn't have more than one wife. Guess the love for kids and a large family plays a major role in that. Most Edo men believe in their names living long after them. Hence,the large army of kids. You can imagine a family like the popular bello-osagie where most of them are doing well. Today,even those who do not belong to that family,but answer Osagie,have some kinda reputation cos most people tend to think they're from that family. All through my time in school,I was always faced with the challenge of telling people I do not belong to a certain Ighodalo family who happens to be a popular chartered accountant from my state. I'm from a large family also and my dad has as much as 15 kids(amongst which are 4 medical doctors/surgeons,1 accountant,1 lawyer,1 pharmacist,2 economists,2 engineers,2 business mgt graduates,etc) You do the maths and imagine how many grandchildren he would have. Eventually,when all his kids succeed and become popular,he would eventually become one of those popular names from the state.I know one Bello-Osagie babe back in school. |

Re: Why Do Most Benin Men Love Large Families? by UyiIredia(m): 5:53pm On Dec 27, 2013 |
This is not really true and ooseven rightly said your generalization is wrong. I am from Benin. And my parents, both from Benin, only had 3 of us. In fact, a number of my Dad's sibling and cousins, especially those who are still in Benin have families of 2 or 3 kids. Only one I know is a polygamist with ten kids or more. That said, your generalization will be more true of the past generation, like some other Nigerian tribes, polygamy was accepted, even encouraged in the past. My grandfather had fifteen kids from his two marriages, not counting those who died as kids. |

xp17: When a group of men spend their money easily ... it could be a sign of impulsivity... doing things without thinking through and this would be part of ADHD, Autism etc. Why is it that other groups dont spend their money easily, save their money and communicate more and better with their wives and children. Certain men are not really husbands or fathers... but are in and out husbands meaning they just float around the family and dont really get involved... the women do all the work which is not supposed to be like that... work is supposed to be shared and be fair. |
