ok, with all do respect to the yorubas, i think 80% of the yoruba men dont know how to take care of their wife and 20% do.they care less once they bring in a woman.the question now is which one do belong to?

I have seen this in Nollywood movies but didnt know it was true. I guess there must be a longterm feud between the tribes.

It ain't restricted to only a specific tribe. . .I guess it something that most thrives in Nigeria. . .


But that's totally Pointless! undecided

The same way Yoruba parents won't allow their daughters to marry Igbo guys. You'll be surprised when Yoruba parents will tell their daughters they can't let them marry from another tribe - especially Igbo - because it's far from where they are from (as if it's their right to visit frequently). They have this foolish belief also that Igbo men use their wives for money rituals -- how retarded can anyone ever get?!

This is why I say too much of nollywood is bad for some people. Even the supposed 'educated' folks still think some of the excerpts of nollywood films are true; mostly parts where a widow is subjected to certain traditional practices and the ones where a widow is entangled with an obnoxious family set up (they already hate her which comes down to tribalism). Some of these folks still believe the practices are true and hold firm in all Igbo families and tribe in diaspora.

Igbo parents have reasons. One is the natural hatred they have for Awolowo which extended to the whole tribe entirely. Some Igbos know their family don't like Yorubas but they don't know the reason.  Another reason is that Yoruba men are very very prone to polygamy. I share this belief in its entirety. Polygamy is nothing any parents want their daughters to deal with and this is predominant among Yoruba men.

Yes and why do you think most people are buying these movies? That's one of the marketing strategies. I can tell you a considerable number of people buy these movies to make mockery of Igbo traditions, and as long as the bucks are being rolled in no one seems to care.

About your second question, I have sizable instances to back up my view. Show me three out of every ten Yoruba family where you won't find polygamy and I will give you my sweet Mercedes Benz. wink

You call business strategy mocking? I leave that to you to judge. And, let me tell you, these movies actually depicts a situaton where a particular family doesn't like their son from another tribe. Hatred is always at the fore, even while their son still lived, and when he dies, they might put it all on the woman and say she's the cause of his death. It has never been - at least in the movies I've watched - that they used it as a background that it's Igbo's culture.

But Yoruba tribe, as they have always been, always tune a situation out of proportion -- they have taken these very few movie instances to be true. You can check out where a yoruba will tell her daughter not to marry an Igbo man because they eat people in their village. . . ask her, has she ever been there or witnessed any?

There are lots of contemporary yoruba men who are polygamous unless having secret babies outside wedlock doesn't amount to polygamy anymore in the typical 'Nigerian' sense.
