Who will marry all the unmarried Yoruba ladies because from what I have seen Yoruba guys have given up on them, in a week banks and Soyinka son all married non Yorubas.
Will there be some sort of subsidy for those ladies who are stranded in Yoruba Land.
^^^^^^
^^^^^^
grin ...@kettykin, your post is quite
hilarious... OK...


Only 1 in 10 Yoruba men marry non-Yoruba
women... The remaining 9 in 10 get married to
Yoruba women! Go through the "Change of Name"
sections in newspapers and you will see
that trend.


Most of the non-Muslim Yoruba men marry mainly
from Edo/Delta/Kogi axis and not to core hinterland
Ibo women from Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi, etc, East of
River Niger. Others marry foreigners such as Americans,
Ivorians, Ghanaians, British, etc.


Delta North [Anioma] areas such as: Agbor, Asaba, Ukwuani, Illah,
Issele-Uku, Onicha Ugbo, Olukumi[Yoruba and Ibo-speaking] area
of Aniocha North, etc, are responsible for MOST of the marriages
that involve Yoruba men and Ibo-speaking women with some
others from Anioma part of Anambra such as Onitsha, Ogbaru,
Obosi, even Oguta in Imo State.

A little digression, Desmond Olusola Elliot's mother is from Illah in
Delta North while his father is an indigene of Olowogbowo
area of Lagos Island. [Olowogbowo is where many Yoruba
repatriates who came back from especially Sierra Leone settled and
became indigenes of Lagos Island settled after the slave
trade was abolished. Many of them where among the 91, 491
Africans from several ethnic groups who were rescued from
many slave ships from the year 1817 to about 1850s by
the British Naval ships that patrolled the Atlantic ocean
searching for illegal Portuguese, Spanish, and American slave
ships]. Yoruba returnees from Cuba and Brazil settled in
the Campos Square and Brazilian Quarters of Lagos
Island and became indigenes


Rivers/Akwa Ibom/Cross River State ladies too have
married seriously to Yoruba men. I did some research
years back out of curiosity and found these areas to be
the epicenters of marriages to Yoruba men.

I know several folks from those types of unions.


Others like Yoruba Muslims have the latitude to marry from
several Muslim communities in Nigeria: Nupe, Auchi
or Etsako in Edo, Ebira, Igala, Fulani, Hausa, etc, just like
the Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi's son who is
about to marry the Kano State Governor's daughter.

Hope this helps.

@Nnokwa042

Read my post right on top of this one.
It sheds more light on what you have posted.


Ifeanyi Adefarasin is from Asaba, with a white German mother.
Her late father comes from one of the Ogbe quarters or
communities in Asaba. One of late Prof. Achebe's daughter's
is married to an Ogun state man. Achebe's other
daughter is married to an Itsekiri man, while
Achebe's only son is married to an Oguta woman
from Imo State. Achebe's son said this in a Punch newspaper
interview that I read soon after his father passed on.


One of Alex Ekwueme's sons is married to an
Osun woman, I could go on. But more Yoruba
men [i.e., only 1 in 10 Yoruba men] marry from
across several ethnicities because of the practice
of Islam/Christian religions/other faiths like
Buddhism, etc, among the Yoruba.

Wole Soyinka's Son Marries An Igbo Girl From Imo State Next Weekend In The US


Wole and Folake Soyinka's son, Oretunlewa will be getting married to his sweetheart, Nneka Ekechukwu next weekend in the USA. A select group of close friends and relatives have been invited to the wedding. The bride and groom were born and raised in the US and have been dating for more than 8years since after they graduated from High school. They are now in their mid to late 20s.
The bride's parents Dr. Peter and Angela Ekechukwu who are from Mbaise area of Imo state are said to have formed a deep friendship with the Soyinkas as a result of the relationship of their children.

According to their website, Oretunlewa went to High School in California then attended Stanford University for his undergraduate studies. From there, he went to Harvard University for his pre-med. He is now rounding up his medical degree at Duke University, Durham North Carolina. Nneka was born and raised in South Carolina and attended high school there where she ran track for the state. She studied Information Systems at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana and upon graduation was recruited by Deloitte in Chicago, she later moved on to work at the Coca Cola Headquarters in Atlanta.
Both are children of professors who have distinguished themselves by getting their post High school education on scholarship. Their website states that they met at a programme for gifted students in the summer before their last year of High School.

The bride's attires were said to have been designed by Moofa Designs while Yomi Casual has been busy for months designing the outfits for the groom and his groomsmen.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE!!
HEARTY CONGRATS!!!!

Thanks for making me laugh this early morning.
I think they may be preparing for when Nigeria will break up. They can then boast of being married to a 'foreigner ' and travel 'overseas ' to visit their in-laws. Not bad at all
