Congratulations to the couple!!! The hard reality is that the so called traditional wedding is a nullity, void ab initio in the voice of the Judge. The Italians are not subject to our traditional marriage law. The essentials of valid traditional marriage in Nigeria are lacking. What are the essentials of valid traditional marriage in Nigeria? 1 The couples must be Nigerians 2 there must be payment of dowry and in Igboland some one must be there to accept the bride price ( father or guardian) 3 The woman must be handed over to the man. 4 parental consent must be obtained etc

#sarcasticmode activated....what's d big deal about two italians havin der weddin here in Nigeria..do u knw hw many Nigerians who wed in varios lactions in italy? And who says we dnt appreciate and value our culture..they came to imo state saw hat they lik and decided to fit in regardless of der race. Likewise Nigerians who travel to italy, saw what they lik and decided to settle der...its also a part of unity in diversity..dnt u pple shldnt mak a big deal out of dis ..

No- Going by what the Italian couple did Nigerians should appreciate other cultures of the world. An igbo man who was born and raised in Yoruba land should be open to the idea of embracing the Yoruba man's culture and traditions. That article preaches integration more than preservation, which is just as important.
Re: Italian Couple Perform Igbo Traditional Wedding Rites by Lathunjimi(m): 10:24am On Sep 04, 2014
I must say there is nothing special about the Italians as they have been living here for the past 12 years. Come to think of it, why won't they do it here considering:
1. It costs less to organize.
2. It saves cost for flight.
3. It's also a way of buying the heart of th community in order to further accommodate them the more even if some had devious intentions, they ll see them as part of d community.
4. The local meal costs less compared to d Italian dish.
Among other reasons is the fact that it would give them opportunity to further explore all the resources of the land without any suspicion on even the wisest person's mind.

So don't be too hasty to shower insults on those that travel out of the country for there wedding, birthday etc. Though I see it as a sheer waste of resources. But I tell u it goes beyond the love for our culture or norms for them to have got married here in Nigeria, remember they don't think the same way black people (Africans: especially Nigerians) think. They see & plan for the future while most of us only dwells in the presence or still bask in the euphoria of past achievement.
Re: Italian Couple Perform Igbo Traditional Wedding Rites by daveP(m): 10:30am On Sep 04, 2014
Good news.









I hope they arent spies! The easiest way to walk into an african man's heart is thru his culture. He'l get comfortable with you, dropping all his defences. (thats a food for thought) we're all predictable to that extent.




But good one for them.

deebee13: That's lovely. But note one thing @op, not every Nigerian goes abroad to marry cos of class or too much money. Same way this ones did it here cos de love our culture could be d same reason I'm going to Paris, Mexico, Miami or Dubai to have mine!
After reading you post, I just scrolled up to see you gender. Well, my guess didnt fail me... Na only girl fit talk like this...@yourlastsentence...

Hey guys, stop condemning our pips dat do their wedding outside nigeria, its part of tourism. Besides, everybody wants to give their special half the best of fairytales. Its thesame thing this italian couple did so it shldnt look like we are not patriotic or insensitive and disregard of our rich culture. Being a nigerian is enuff a culture. Tourism is education and so it is everywhere. The italians are now educated about our culture and especially the ibo culture. If you can afford it you can achieve it.
