To me it's capital YES,Reason be that all my ancestor(the ones I can trace) from both my father and mother side come from d same local government.that mean am pure.i value people with mixed identity e.g igbo-yorub,igbo-igala,yoruba-hausa.the ones I really love are product of inter racial marriage.

this is a very serious issue.
actually to the question i don't know. haven't tried dating someone from another tribe so i can't really decide.
there are lot of things that come along with intertribal marriages.
talk about norms, habits , believes, moral,values and lots more.i think i will prefer to marry someone i understand and am part of his cultural background

my piece

No way unless she can speak my tongue very fluently.

I belong to the old guard that will not allow my kids to speak 100% English at home after speaking the same in school almost 100%.

So if the mum is not gonna help them learn and speak their original tongue then capital NO!

If you have to ask this question! I wonder what people's response/opinions will be to nigerians marrying foreigners? White, yellow, brown or whatever the case maybe?

I can marry someone from a different tribe, a different country, a different continent, a different race but not a different religion.

Yes, of course, why not?
Cultural background shouldn't be an issue.

Re: Can You Marry Someone From Another Cultural Back Ground?and Why by Nobody: 11:43pm On Jan 26, 2015
First of all I will state those I can't marry and my reasons
Yoruba this tribe is just a no no for me, am from the south and their culture don't tally with mine at all as in I admire the beauty of their women but their behavior is one thing that scares me away, talking from what av seen, as I was born in d west n bred n live around them I know what they are capable of, fetish ooh yes, most are bad cooks, aldutery is a common thing and mostly they are very lousy! Sorry if u feel am wrong don't try to correct me, this is what I know n dont tell me I live in a bad environment.
all south except my state at even a slim chance well the reason is not only that I never lived in the south n I have only visited my state only twice since I was born n I can't even remember, but the reason is i find it interesting to try a different tribe entirely, at least have seen my parents the same state and town, but not that theirs is not good in fact theirs is great but I would like to try something else since I know what that of like my parents would look like.
Hausa well this tribe I could try but, seriously, I dont like their lifestyle had one as a neighbor, really bad cooks, never like their cooking the sight alone is a turn off coz as u see me so I love to eat, espicially good food since I don't know how to cook, I don't want to add a bad cook to myself, who go teach my kids how to cook? Me or my wife wey no sabi cook or I go come dey buy food chop everyday? their manners especially EATING lemme don't go there and lastly very jagajaga set of people wey no like to go school their papa just dey born them full ground. Talking from experience!
The tribe I can n will make sure I marry by GOD'S Grace I pray to GOD for a better one.
IGBO whether my parents gree or not nor be say I dey form but honestly I admire these set of people Most have met n lived around are Good cooks yes! Am a lover of food a good one for that matter, good behavior, they know their limits, bounds and very respectful. One thing I admire about them is how they take care of their own, they know what is called family and mostly educated and oriented people. My reasons might feel a little bit of bias, but I honestly post this because of what I know, I read and study people alot, and PS don't try to correct me. cool
Mods this topic deserve FP!
