ThoniaSlim:

Did anyone tell you I was desperate for a husband?

Well, there’s a time in the life of girls like you when they peg their age at 27 whether they are 35 yrs old or 41 yrs old.
We call that period “demurrage” or “nna ga-anu”; when the word “woman” becomes an insult.

I rest my case, nne.

na wa for this kind question in 2010!!!!!!!!

no, unless you have an extremely thick skin and/or are terribly infatuated.

It's not as if I expected anything less from a tribalist. Inter-tribal marriage must look sacrilegious from your 3D lenses.

@poster, did you or did you not marry from another tribe

hmmm ur right it should be encouraged so much well

I don't think intra-marriage should be a problem, the problem most of our parents have is fear of unknown, but i tell you there is nothing wrong with it , so far there is love between the couple.

Our history is one of the clogs to inter tribal marriages in this country.

I wan marry hausa gurl! abeg any beauriful and good mannered "nyarinya" in the house? pass me UR LOVE abeg!!!

U can contact me on phone #: 080-9876543210. thanx!

Oya my brodas n sistas from Anambra State make una tell the house why e dey hard una parents to allow their daughters marry 'outsiders', ?

Not only daughters, sons as well.
Reason: we don't want to dilute our culture and family values.

Risk of marrying outsiders: A new breed of psychotic kids may be born into Anambra State, and before you know it, they will be calling for Awka State or Agulu State or Nnewi State.

I beg to differ oooo. I know Anambrarians are always about sticking to their own, but more Anambra girls marry from other tribes than any other Igbo tribe.

I can't believe some replies here. Naija still has a long way to go.

Whatever rocks your boat, each to his choice/preference.

NOOOOooooooooh!

No, its not good, have suffered from this, it felts so bad mehn.

It shouldn't be discouraged neither should it be encouraged. I won't tolerate my daughter marrying a man from Zamfara. God Forbid!!!!

FL Gators:

I used to think so, but now, I dont think it should be encouraged.

But it shouldnt be prevented. Whatever floats your boat, I say.

Acidosis:

Inter-tribal marriage should be discouragingly encouraged.

Normally this shouldn't be a problem (happens easily in other countries). With Nigeria's history, I would thread softly.

@Udezue: this texan is discriminating against a part of nigeria. if your daughter marries a texan isnt God going to forbid that too? you better be happy that a man is willing to marry your daughter and he is a nigerian. are you going to seek revenge of your grandfather's anger of his grandfather on the innocent boy, who loves your daughter and produced throught the union grandchildren worth their quality in platinum?


if i were a zamfara man, and you have a grown daughter that is eye candy, i move to houston and snatch her under your nose. when i pay you bigtime money that no igbo man is willing to pay, you will refuse?

abeg, grow away from the unnecessary discrimination. you live in america, you chop from america, yet you hate your own people, a fellow nigerian.

i love nigerians to marry from other tribes in noticeably high number. it will in a long run almost make the big tribal sentiments, if not difference, become not so much an issue. i dont mind who is married, as long as my sister marries a good man to her and is also handsome.

i dont mind who my brother marries, as long as she is good woman to him and is also pretty.

your bloody mama is a tribalist, onyeoshi.



learn not to poke your s.tupid nose in matters that dont concern you.


though it's a free world and you're free to be a monkey!!!

@ topic

no, i dont encourage it, unless you have a very thick skin and/or are terribly infatuated.

People should not be discouraged. But tread carefully.
Tribalism is still a big problem. If a man is rich it may be easier. Atiku, Baba Iyabo, IBB, Danjuma and many more married outside their tribes.
Iya Basira running roadside bukateria marrying Emedolu , a vulcanizer from Orlu is a different matter.
Basically social class plays a big role. All those politicians holding Naija hostage let their kids marry intertribally to consolidate family business and connections. Apologies to Nollywood.

BUT in the past,  many women from my hometown who married outside returned home with nothing when widowed or divorced. They had woeful tales to tell about how their in-laws ganged up to drive them away.  Most brought up their kids alone. SAD. I hope things have improved now. I still have those stories very fresh in my memory.

If discouraging inter tribal marriages would consolidate Nigerian tribes and stop them from marrying Ghanaians , South Africans, Whites, Asians etc then fine by me.

Nopuqueater,
Biko go rest. Like I said anything pass Southern Kaduna is a no go area. Why would let my child marry into a culture that is highly incompatible with the rest of the nation? Its common sense. U are here preaching love yet u insult the Igbo by implying that once I am offered $$ I will turn coat. Thunder blast ur nyash. Stupid Bytch. Hypocrite.

People should feel free to marry whoever they want. My fam got a mix of ppl from different parts of naija and beyond naija all da way to East africa and Europe but like I said use simple common sense. U can't go and marry into taliban family in afghanistan and expect something good out of it.

Tribal marriage is a thing of choice. I think it's got to do with the family history other than individual. I came from a family where despit the fact that it's a royal family in igbo land they don't give much fu---ck bout who and where your wife came from, as a matter of fact, i date any gilr and also intro her to them, both white, yoruba etc etc so. Until we stop all that hate and tribal trigering and love one another I wonder how peace will reign in Nigeria. For some of us who think or believe that we act the same way we talk in NAIRALAND, dude's ya wrong this is a faceless forum where any faceless person come in to say shi*t, who know JESUS himself fit DEY HERE.

Don't micromize me, it's my opinion.

i don''t care. I can even marry a cannibals

i have a friend from nnewi in anambra state. her father is very strict about marriage and insists that they must marry from nnewi only. sounds rather ridiculous to me. . for me, i can marry from any tribe. imo, itz all about love and understanding.
