Sometimes our parents reasons for not liking our partners are not valid. Most Nigerian parents want their kids to marry from their tribe which is ridiculous,my parents are not an exception n unfortunately I don't get along well with igbo guys . If my parents give me that as an excuse,i'm sorry 2 say this but I won't listen. I'll try to convince them otherwise n hope they change their mind.

My parents are Jolly good fellows.. If I love You,they love you.

DukeNija:


And if your parents insist that you marry from your tribe? Will you sincerely marry a man your family detests? I don't think any man deserves such, besides, you are the one with the wrong mindset, already concluding you don't get along with guys from your tribe. What does tribe have to do with a persons character? I'm asking u.

uzolexis:


I'm not just concluding,i'm talking from experience. I know ur personality has nothing to do with tribe and I have no explanation for this but whenever i try to date an igbo guy it just doesn't work.

DukeNija:


I understand where you are coming from, but it really has nothing to do with the guys tribe. Its about his and your attitude towards the relationship. It just happened that those guys were from ur tribe.

What do you do when your Dad or Mum
detest of the one you love so dearly?.Will you just ignore and go on
with the wedding.

urhoboman:
Does such still happen in this 21century??


what if they keep rejecting the ladies you bring home?
You go hunting the lady that suits their specs or from their endorsed tribe?

Its borne out of greed and sentiment.
An african mentality.

Their blessing is needed anyway.

Convince them. It may take time but they will come around if they SEE your resolve.

Don't ever go ahead without their nod.

What an elder sees while sitting down a young man/woman can't see from atop a tree. The words of elders are words of wisdom so try as much as possible to reason with elders b4 u make the biggest mistake of your life.

Lucasbalo:
The bottom line is that your parents have no right to dictate to you whom you should marry. I have the utmost respect and love for my parents for all they sacrifice for my siblings and I. The only time I had a disagreement with my mother was when I was getting married. Her main objection was I was not marrying from her tribe and that I was too young (23). I sat her down and told her I am done with my education , have a good job and that I like to do things earlier in life. She didn't reason with me but pop was very understanding. Went and got married anyway,. Dad was in Chicago for the wedding and mum wasn't. Its been a blast of a marital life for me and wifey and the girls. Bottom line, it's your life and your decision to make. It doesn't mean you don't love your parents. I sure won't dictate to my children who to choose for marriage.

xynerise:
Tribal differences, greed and looks are the major reasons parents frown at your choice of spouse. If you can change their mentality on these, you are good to go.

ifeoma: (sad and disgruntled, cos she loves bayo and have proved beyond doubt that he is the one.) but traditions change

uncle razor(drops gin bottle) sharrap there ifeoma(stands and points walking stick meant for fashion and not priority) sharrap i say (some fellows mumble)......

Parents can be wrong at times.. you just av to convince and make them realise

rutibaby:
I'll pray 2 God to know if they are right or that's d right person for me.

farano:
I'll fast and pray. I'll tell God.... This is what I want, but if you know it'll hurt me in the long run, let Your Will be done.

ayomidegambari:
