Nigerian parents expect their
daughters to get married someday.

However, one thing they are
particular about is the kind of man
their daughter(s) bring home as a
future husband.
With more than 250 ethnic groups with Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa leading the pack, the expectations may be different but they are interwoven and almost similar. These presumptions are largely influenced by culture, religion, heritage, and exposure of the families involved. This said, a
would-be or prospective son-in-
law should take note of the
following tips shared if he wants to be accepted by a prospective bride’s parents as in Nigeria, and the African continent at large, a parent’s blessing and endorsement of a marriage is
important.

He must be able to care for himself
No parent will allow their daughter to ‘marry’ a man who cannot take care of himself. Everything about their relationship is hinged on love
rather than the man’s ability to
take of the family he will raise. In
fact, only a handful of women
today will take that kind of man to her parents. Nigerian parents do not demand much. He should have a reliable means of livelihood or survival enough to take care of the bride.

Respectful
Yorubas value respect. This is an
aspect of the culture they do not
toy with. Even if the parents accept you, the family members will never.
They will always point it out
especially if it is obvious. However,
you do not need to worry much if
you not marrying a Yoruba girl.
However, this does not allow a
would-be son-in-law to treat the
parents with disdain.

Dress Responsibly
Laced ears, plaited hair, sagged
trousers and blinks will simply get
you fired as a son-in-law. You
should dress the way you want to
be addressed. In summary, dress
responsibly. If that’s your style, try
as much as possible to shelve it
whenever you are visiting your
bride’s parents. By the way, don’t
let her parents catch you dressing
like a gangster, they will not
hesitate to tongue lash you.

Religiously Consciously
Some parents may not be too keen on this. Despite this, whether you are a Muslim or a Christian, you should be religiously upright.
Nigerians are one of the most
religious black nation in the world.
They expect their daughter to
marry into a pious home.

No Wife Battery
Wife battery is now prevalent in
the Nigerian society. In time past,
this wasn’t the case. Today, there
have been several reports of
domestic violence with women
bearing the brunt. So, parents
always try to enquire from their
daughters to assure them that
their prospective son-in-law is not
prone to wife battery.

Out of points.
The first thing an intended mother in law wants from her son in law is that he should be able to take care of her daughter.

The second, he should be able to assist in some of her family problems.

Others comes afterwards.
