But I fear Edo people o, from the experience of a senior colleague of mine who is yoruba and married an Edo woman (young ,beautiful woman). Unfortunately the woman died from brain cancer and her family so frustrated the man's life claiming he killed their daughter and that all his properties belong to their daughter, they took everything from him, cars and all, including his only child and asked him to come and do some weird traditional rites which he was to pay for.

I don't know if this is common to Edo people or he just married from a wicked family

Oga oo... What kind of stupiid culture is that? Sometimes it baffles me how some people accuse of husband/wife of killing his/her wife/husband when he/she dies simply because they have some properties they have their eyes on , someone you love and you gave your heart to but I don't really blame them Sha lot o things have gone upside down in the world today, ki olohun sa ma sowa.... I think the husband should have sought for the expertise of a lawyer what right do they have to seize his properties? Abi shey na their daughter's name on the properties documents ni? Maybe it's a joint thing Sha, one cannot really tell....sweetheart, thank God I'm a Yoruba like you so you have nothing to worry about

HateU2:
Are u serious

So, the life of that daughter is not important They are just after the properties. Smh

HaneefahRN:



I don't know if it's their culture o or they just want to exploit the guy. None of them knew they had a daughter when she was seriously ill, it was after she died they remembered. Started asking for 500K almost every week for traditional rites, when the guy later refused to oblige such requests again they came to ravage his house, took his car,took his daughter too and were asking for his properties claiming it is their daughter's since he acquired most after he got married to her.The case was in court last time I heard and he finally managed to get his daughter back after series of travelling and wahala, almost lost his sanity. I'm sure if he hears 'E' before he hears 'DO', he would have picked race.

This question should be:

1. Am i pleased with that woman?

2. Am i comfortable with her?

3. Does she give me cause to take her down the aisle?

4. Do I have future with this woman?

5. Does she posses the potentials I needed in a woman?


After asking yourselves these series of questions & you find no reason to do away with her, Bros abeg no let that woman pass you by. We are talking about peace of mind here not tribe, we are talking about life imprisonment(marriage) here not tribe. I don't mind marrying from any part of the country if i ask myself questions above.

Only Ibos ask these kinds of questions

I travelled home to see my parents over the weekend and I must say it was nice seeing them after close to 2 months. I saw them last on Jan 1st after the New Year’s celebration. I am just this kind of guy that loves staying far from my childhood area. I believe you are much more appreciated if people see less of you.
Even in my University days, I might go home for just once in a year and anytime I go home, I am always hailed like a king on the street. I love this so much, makes me feel like the King of the Street.

Dad and mum were so delighted to see me and trust our mums, she saw with her x-ray eyes that I was getting so lean, when I have always thought I am living large and changing to the man with the big stature I always dreamt of becoming. Dad also confirmed this and trust African parents, they began to prescribe all sorts of drugs from Vitamin supplements to blood tonic, to Epo Eja which is Cod Liver oil and so on. I told them I would get all that.

After a moment, my mum left us and went to see her friend in the next building. Then the man-to-man talk between me and my dad started. You know dads now. They are more concerned about your goals and achievements. He began by asking how work is faring and my plans for the New year.
He talked about advancing my studies to the Phd level. That this would give me an edge over my colleagues and even my superiors. I didn’t bother to mention to him that I was not going further beyond this Masters degree that I posses.

Then he popped the question. “How is your girlfriend doing?” I initially pretended as if I didn’t hear that and he repeated himself. I made him understand I have non that I have been so much busy with work and plans to move my career to the next level.
Then he asked the master question. “From which tribe will you like to marry from?” I told him I can marry from any tribe as long she is human.

He said no, that some tribes are better left alone due to their culture and so on, blah blah blah. I tried to orientate him that we are all one. That one cannot judge the attitude or behavior of an individual from the general perception of her tribe. He tried to prove his point. I didn’t bother to argue with him, because if I did, the conversation would last for hours which I was not ready to engage in.


But why are our parents always particular about tribes when we are all one Nigeria. There was this time this Tanzanian lady came to our office and it wasn’t until when she mentioned that she was from that country before we realized she wasn’t a Nigerian. She looked so much like a Nigerian. This is just to tell that we are all one and we should not be judged by our tribes, but by the contents of our hearts, individually.

Sylvester70:
i go talk for my own side it like its passed down to generations eg igbo man&igbo woman=85%,to yoruba woman=13%,to hausa woman=2% and so it is for other tribe.people tend to marry cos of culture and tradition therefore puts their tribe first

AfroKnight:
When you marry a woman you marry her family and her culture. Some cultures don't mix well because of decades of stereotypes. I was once like you, believing that it's me and my wife alone but really, marriage joins families as well. Be sure before you say "I do".
