you see wise men doing things the wise way and you still ask questions... you see I am igbo a proud one and I have noticed that some people just jump into some marriage shit, when you know ur not ready in everyway including being financially ready... so we get our primary goals before marrying... thats why few of them are poor... the resources are distributed immensely.

I have discovered that Ibo igbo guys marry much later than thier counterparts of other tribes in Naija. Take for instance an average Hausa Man gets married very early even as a teenager. At 25 a Yoruba guy is already considering settling down and something similar applies to other tribes except the Ibos. At 35 Ikechukwu is happily single ; still posting Chioma his girlfriend. This trend has in turn affected their ladies. Why not? They must wait for Obinna to propose nah. Little wonder some of them has 'menopausal' marriages. Why is this a peculiar trend for Ibo men? Any benefits?

My friend, itz igbos not "ibos"¿

Are those other tribes that marry early any better? Marriage can break your back easily. Igbos know this fact very well, that's why we don't rush into it. I'm always shocked when I see young men in early twenties in Nigeria with 3-4 children, without good source of income.

You don't expect a guy of legal means and income to be able to build:

1- A community borehole,
2- Buy 2 cars for the bride's parents,
3-Build a community primary and secondary school(all which are part of the bride price)
before the age of 35...do you?... So that's why they marry late and that that's why if you take a census of the number of Single ladies in Nigeria as opposed to other tribes.. . Igbo ladies rank in first.

What's this one talking about.... Pls none of the above mentioned is included in the marriage rites of ony igbo community....

Its more of yams, boxes of clothes, tons of drinks and sometimes large sums of cash for the bride price..


Get ur facts right pls.

You are right.

I'm also right when I tell you igbos prefer comfort to suffering and smiling marriage.

It easier to see more children of non igbos looking shabby,unfed and not taken care of than igbo children.

It's not by having infantry battalion as children/family because you are in a hurry to have unprotected sex just to say you have settled down, you can't even afford pampas talk more of baby food but ofcourse you have a prick to pregnant woman.

My point is, if you value quality family then you'd cool down and prepare yourself which might take out a few years from some dudes which is not a sin.

Go price baby formula for market or quality education then you will know that settling down is not just an English word but then most folks rushing to settle down without preparation -take a look at some of their children/wife...you have pure water sellers,road side yam roaster and cheapest whores and Okada hordes.
Come and collect handshake. U just summed it up.

Dumbass.

So how come each community in igbo land doesn't have a borehole for every lady that gets married? How come all parents with married daughters don't have more than 2 cars and I'm very sure your monumentally slow brain tells you igbos marry only from their tribe?

You are a what? A fool!
you are equally daft not to know that bride price and marriage rites differs in communities alike.

Optimall:
Even if the igbo guys marries late, they completely take care of their wife unlike the yorubas who doesn't even care if their wife dey chop. All they want is that name "married "and to hell with you woman,that is why in their culture adultery is allowed, because why? They are too lazy to work always looking for trouble and having no single strength to fight. The hausas, they love to marry thousands of women even when they can't be able to care for them, na lawlessness dey kill them. Which is better to marry someone appropriately or to just impregnate person carry am enter house, marriage don start...?! See dem, see dem mouth...
Madam, Na wa o! Take it easy, Pls. ki lo de?
any opportunity to insult others would never pass some people by. The OP asked a question...It's just a question... harmless question at that. And you are already spitting fire and brimstone. You were so eager to post your insult that you forgot to proof read your post.
