Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by Bigtee(m): 4:44pm On Jan 19, 2006 |
I am a Yoruba guy. All the girls i have had good relationship with are Igbo girls. Well i don't know if my case is extreme but when i tried girls from my side they wind up MESSING UP. So my question is that do you think inter-tribal marriages/relationship always work? I need your replies. Thanks for your replies Successchild |

I am down with it just as long as she is going to make a good humble and caring wife in the long haul. |

If u can reconcile the language barrier, nothing stops the relationship from working. With concerted efforts, parental issues wont be a problem at all. |

i'm all for inter-tribal marriages. most of the guys i know and grew up with were not from the same culture as me so i learned to appreciate other cultures. whenever i see a name like Mrs. Joke Chukwuma, for instance, i feel happy inside. it just gives me joy. yeah, there are language and cultural differences (i don't like to think of them as barriers), but that's what makes the union even more beautiful because the children have a better understanding and appreciation of the different cultures. it's a very welcome union to me. |

Can we stop using the term 'tribe' for starters? And yes, I'm all for it. I don't see the problem and have never had a problem with various ethnicities in Nigeria. |

Personally, i see PEOPLE not TRIBES and so i'm fine with marrying someone from a different tribe, but the thing is, my parents aren't exactly all for it. I'm hopeful that if it gets to that stage for me, they won't have a choice than to accept their baby girl's wish and bless her marraige. I even love the idea of inter tribal marraiges, it shows unity in Nigeria and nothing gladdnes me more. |

We are no longer in the 1960s. I am all for girls from any part of Naija! |
Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by IAH(f): 1:55am On Jan 20, 2006 |
I think I'm also up for anybody from any part of Naija but I surely have a preference. |
Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by lioness(f): 10:06am On Jan 20, 2006 |
am not for any part of nijia. Some are very tribalistic and some are so traditional, even though they are christains, they still engage in some voodo sh*t |

Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by damygurl(f): 10:53am On Jan 20, 2006 |
well it don't really matter! love is wat should count! |
Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by Nobody: 11:07am On Jan 20, 2006 |
well it works for some pple and it doesnt for some. it all depends on yr partner and his level of maturity. Is he able to protect u from his relations or not .If any relative tries to give u a hard time will he be there for yu? my best advice is look bfr u leap even if u are marrying from yr own village. |
Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by tunjikrown(m): 12:38pm On Jan 20, 2006 |

Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by Littleone(m): 1:27pm On Jan 20, 2006 |
Inter tribal marraige is what cannot be shy away from in our multi-ethnic nation. Sure it does work for some and for some, ih has been bad news. But with supporting parents and understanding partners, inter tribal marriage would work. As for me, take love where you find it. i am into one and I aint complaining. |
Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by lioness(f): 1:30pm On Jan 20, 2006 |
Babe forget love for a moment. I believe in reality cos na woman dey mostly suffer the effect. I have to be real convinced and not just inlove [well it don't really matter! love is what should count!/quote] |
Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by EddyTells(m): 1:40pm On Jan 20, 2006 |
i think everything in life is about understanding and thats the same thing in marriage too. So whether inter- tribal or inter-nation, its just the understanding between partners. @ Lioness, Anambra guys are not juju people. Some are fetish though but we know how to treat our wife and love her |
Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by lioness(f): 1:53pm On Jan 20, 2006 |
Sure you do, right before you use them for rituals *maybe u & i shd continue this discussion on the other thread you created on anambra boys* meet me there [Posted by: Eddy Tells |
Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by gentleone(f): 2:38pm On Jan 20, 2006 |
yeah, i do admire people who do it but i dont think i can. well, maybe if i understand the guys language, i could. |
Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by otokx(m): 2:47pm On Jan 20, 2006 |
i hear there are some places especially in the east where the financial implications of picking a damsel is nothing less than 500k so i am now a bit wiser. I however will prefer delta or yoruba but then its as if a magnet keeps pulling me in the eastern direction so i am just vibrating |

I would say if and only if I could, I'ld marry Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa representing and promoting unity between the tribes but because personally I can't and won't, I would marry which ever comes my way. A piece of advice for those who are already in and those prospective of this kind of relationship to be sure they sit down and decide to deal with any form of opposition that would arise, because, believe you me, they would surely come from either or both sides. When two agree as to a thing, it would surely work for them. |

All matters in relationship is love and understanding whether the person is Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba |

It dosn't matter where ur Wife comes from, After all our Nigerians are far abroad marrying from every corner, why not; in our own mother land. any way Inte- Tribal Marriage at time is one ofthe best, is just sal about understanding, my Uncle marry a ghananian lady and they ar doing fine, its all about understning[i] boooooooooooooooo[/i] |
Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by sbucareer(f): 5:42pm On Jan 21, 2006 |
"Bonie": Correction, there is no such thing as ghananian, it is Ghanian. |

If you can navigate through the left over resentments in our culture to get your queen, surely you will reign in peace and prosperity. |
