tpia.:

that's your impression of them (area boys) and you're entitled to it.

what you give is what you get.

Your second point doesnt make sense since you were lamenting the fact that women are carrying heavy equipment. Double talk or you're just plain confused, imo.

  It has always been The Yoruba men wanting to marry Igbo women. Does it mean that the Yorubas no longer raise beautiful women as well as educated and well-behaved women for marriage?.

Andre Uweh:

Tpia I be your friend nah wetin I do wey you wan fight me. I have only been honest, you have more yoruba men wanting to marry Igbo women and not the other way round.
The yoruba mother did not beg me to marry her second daughter. She meant if I was searching for a wife, I should go for one that is not engaged to another man such as her second daughter. But you know, it is not proper to make such a switch as I am God-fearing.

tpia.:

its annoying when you people keep saying Yoruba men are the ones running after Igbo women.

what about the Igbo women who chase Yoruba men ? Do you think it doesnt happen? When I've seen these things with my own eyes ?

Andre Uweh:

You are right, but when you weigh it on the same scale, you will see that weighs more on the left than the right. Do not be annoyed, but it is true.

In Igboland, either poor or rich , marriage is same. Bride price can be as cheap as 1,000:00, but the essential aspect is the dowry for example, yams, wrappers, drinks, rice, etc. This is fixed and your prospective inlaws has no say over it but the kindred.

chiogo:

Personally don't want any stupid bride price so long as I ain't paying for the wedding.

ibkaye:

Didn't even know there was even any war of some sort between tribes until I came to nairaland

chiogo:

Exactly. I bet half of 'em can't spew half of these things in real life.

chiogo:

see me see trouble. . .am I supposed to pay for the wedding?

chic2pimp:


Nah there is no war. It's just jobless folks hiding behind their screens spreading hate.

tpia.:



and Yoruba men run after anybody- that's a well known fact. If they seem to be running after Igbo women its because they (Igbo women) are in the vicinity and available. If no Igbo women are around then they'll run after some other females.

IYA NGBALI:

Apart from the hatred the 2 tribes have for each other since the end of the civil war the main reason is simply because most yorubas would not want to pay the high bride price{dowry} and all that that igbos always demand before one could marry their daughters,it makes no sense to them when compare to what the pay for girls from their side, that is just the gospel truth,take it or leave it.
